How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe owner was very helpful to sell us gas and supported us on other needs.
We visited Putre in June and it was super cold and dry in the room. No heating was challenging for the nights and early morning at breakfast area. Room and bathroom were bare-bones, a tiny sink and bathroom, no hairdryer. We were given a small heater that does not help much but created dryness after a little bit of running.

Verified reviewKind staff, willing to help with everything and spoke good English. Very quiet during the night. Comfortable beds and good hot shower. Very sweet dogs and cats.
Room and breakfast room were very cold during the evening/night/morning because there is no working central heating. With loads of blankets it was doable though.

Verified reviewStephan, the owner, was exceptional, possibly the most helpful host we’ve ever met. Providing detailed information of where to visit and how to explore. Bed was comfortable, with good bedding. Shower was the hottest and most powerful we’ve had during our 12weeks in South America. Breakfast was tasty and always served with a smile, with opportunities to ask more questions about the area.
Room felt tired and dated BUT immaculately clean and was comfortable, just not modern day aesthetics.

Verified reviewStephan was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. He gave us a very comprehensive talk when we arrived about dealing with altitude and local sights to visit.
When we arrived it was cold and wet, there is an electric heater provided for the bedrooms, which worked well but the bathroom and common areas are chilly. Be sure to bring warm clothes and jacket

Verified reviewNot that much. The rooms were ok, but for the location it felt a bit overpriced.
The hotel could do with a refurbishment. There are 4 very large and very curious dogs on the hotel grounds. This might be fine if your are into dogs. For us it was rather annoying as they were trying to enter our room and car. One of them went so far as to chew my coat. Location was at the end of town, but most likely you are here with your own car anyway. We had booked two double rooms as a family because there were no other options on booking even though the hotel did have other rooms (at lower price) available. Also, we could have fit in one room only as the beds were rather large.

Verified reviewSuper helpful owner and staff, on everything from helping with luggage to advice on getting around the area.. Tasty and filling breakfast. Very convenient and quiet location. I was really happy to be able to book a room online, with no surprises when I checked in. Sunrise in the courtyard was great for birdwatching.
I don't have any major dislikes. It's an older hotel, but then so are most of the other hostels and hotels in the area. It met all our needs.

Verified reviewThe personal was great and super helpful. It was clear they have a lot of experience in travelling and expertise about making tours in the mountains (they offer tours as well!). The location was great. The city of Putre gave us a good impression of the countryside. For fellow travellers: you should expect to organize and prepare yourself if you come to this region. But if you are up with simple living and enjoy this way of travelling - Putre, and specifically Las Vicuñas is a great place to visit.

Verified reviewStay at high altitude for sporty people or those who want to strengthen their fitness. You can cycle up to 5250 m nearby ( Ruta A23 ) The hotel owner speaks fluently English. Very spacious rooms with very comfortable beds and very good mattresses. Spacious private parking at the hotel. A short walk from the center of Putre with a wide choice of small and good restaurants. In the neighborhood you can find also thermal bads or hotsprings to relax. Very good location for sporty people on high altitude or sportteams to do a altitude internship.
