Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaBreakfast!!! Pancakes, eggs, coffee, fresh fruit and loads of different spreads and toppings. There's even a take away breakfast if you have an early tour and a great kitchen for cooking your own meals. Rodrigo is super helpful for local information and can book tours for you. He even let us cancel our reservation for free when plans changed due to a snow storm on our way to San Pedro. Great location, hot showers, towels, warm blankets and plenty of luggage storage on shelves in dorm rooms.

United StatesHugo the manager is a man of few words. And can seem unfriendly when you first arrive. But he is very efficient and competent just a bit gruff sometimes.
This was an amazing hostel and I wished I had stayed longer. It's small, but really well organized. There are indoor and outdoor common areas, and the indoor area, which is also for eating breakfast, gets a heater on cold mornings, so it's cozy. Also very nice and relaxing to have an indoor area to sit, chat or read on cold evenings. The dorm room is great, lockers are provided, shelves, towel/clothing hooks- excellent. The street is very quiet. The breakfast of eggs, fruit, pancakes/crepes and milk/juice/yogurt etc is good and filling and included in the price. Bathrooms ( and entire hostel ) is very clean and showers have good hot water. You get a key for the outside door so getting in at any time is easy, no waiting. Highly recommend this place for international backpackers.

United KingdomIf you have dorm 1 at the front of the property, you get some noise from the basketball court(?) opposite and sometimes they start quite earlier
Great location, close to the centre and everything you need in San Pedro, but on a quiet road with loads of parking. Breakfast was a solid 10/10. Pancakes to order, what's not to love? They will also sort you out with a breakfast bag if you leave early in the morning (which is great as so many of the tours are a really early start).

Sebastian was absolutely amazing to deal with. He picked up that I'd booked the incorrect airport, giving me lots of time to book a new flight, and went out of his way to be as helpful as possible. The hostel is clean, quiet, and a delight to stay at. Also, a short and safe walk onto town. Highly recommended!!

United KingdomNothing - it was brilliant
The breakfast is a 10/10 - you can have as many scrambled eggs, pancakes with Nutella and bowls of fruit as you want, definitely one of the best breakfasts I've had! They'll also leave out a packed lunch if you're heading out before breakfast. The host is incredibly helpful and his knowledge on tours is well worth listening to. I booked a stargazing tour and the 4x4 tour to the salt flats through the hostel and I would highly recommend it (for the 4x4 tour he'll put you in groups with people of similar ages which made the whole experience 10x better). The beds are really comfortable, towels are provided for free, the kitchen and bathrooms are kept very clean and it's only a 5 minute walk to the main street. It's also great for solo travelers as the communal area is great to chill in to meet people and many people who stay are solo travellers. I can't recommend this hostel more!

We stayed in a private room which was comfortable & clean- bed was great. Breakfast was also great and the hostel is very clean. <10min walk to the main street, so it's quiet which we liked. I have no negatives - I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

NetherlandsNothing major. As being a non-smoker and bothered a lot with smoke smell, I didn't like that it's allowed smoking inside the garden which is very small common area where the doors for all the rooms open, so you can feel smoke inside your room. Plus, I couldn't enjoy too much in the garden because of the smell.
Very nice hostel with good breakfast and nice atmosphere. The private room was very clean, big and comfortable, especially the bed. The hot shower was also perfect. The owner was very supportive while booking tours, giving information about things to do around San Pedro de Atacama. He allowed us to do late checkin without additonal fee as we booked an early tour on our checkout day. Besides, there is a kitchen with all the equipment for cooking your own meal.
