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 reviewIt was near the express bus from/to the airport, just 3 blocks away. The staff were so nice and kind, they tried to communicate with me although they didn’t speak English! But this is not a problem if you have installed Google Translate. Also, the breakfast was basic, but still enough for me!
If you are put into the room along the road, it is going to be a little noisy.
Thank you very much for your comment.

Verified reviewComfortable bed, welcoming staff. Issues with showers - they do need replacing. No hangers in cupboards and no hooks to hang anything. The staff helpful. The place is a bit off centre but Los Heroes tube station and airport bus are only 15 min walk away. The hostel is quiet but the road outside is busy. No communal areas, so breakfast brought to rooms. Horrible squash and instant coffee but always fruit and yogurt and a small hot sandwich.
Thank you very much for your comment, we will look into the showers.

Verified reviewGreat stay overall! Safe and quiet location, near grocery stores, a few restaurants, the metro station is 4 blocks away, comfortable bed and clean shared bathrooms, accommodating staff and the owners take great deal of care of their guests. You can keep your bags after checking out, which helps a lot :D. Breakfast is abundant and good!
Missed to have a fan or A/C inside the room, it was stuffy at night and I had to leave the window open. The biggest drawback is the WiFi, poor and spotty.
Thank you for your comment. We have both fans (you can request them at reception) and heating for the winter.

Verified reviewI only stayed here to rest between a flight and an overnight bus, but the staff was very accommodating. Transfer from the airport via the bus service helped though it seemed to be farther to the hotel from the bus stop than I expected
Room didn't have a window except to the hallway.
Thanks Sean for your comment.

Verified reviewThe staff are marvellous. Francisco, the owner is a fantastic guy alongside his helpful daughter. He facilitated my onward journey to the airport at a moments notice and didn,t charge me much for this kind service. I had too much baggage and couldn,t cope with the walk up to the metro at Republica and then catch the 407 bus I wanted from San Pablo to Pudahuel. One other staff member, I think her name was Doris, saved me the trouble of going to the lavanderia about a km away by foot, and did a great, quick and crisp job in no time at all! Nicole too is very diligent with the morning breakfast which was the same but very welcome anyway. Location is quite good for the metro and for the airport bus which arrives at Los Heroes. This bus is very cheap at 2000 or so , but a fair walk from Los Heroes to this University Hotel. Showers always had hot water, but space on the ground floor is at a premium, and gets busy at times.
I was only left with a single room as I booked here too late. A double room is much more sensible and not that much more expensive. I did get the one with a window, but still the street noise was quite relentless as it was on the ground floor. However, some students stay here for extended periods and cope very well. There are many microwaves available which are clean as well as the fridge, which was extremely useful. No recreation area.
Thank you very much Rupert for your comment. We hope to see you again. We will forward your words to Doris and Nicol. Greetings.

Verified reviewI like the breakfast, shower and kitchen. But I would prefer more fruit.
Breakfast should have more fruit with fiber.

Verified reviewSo many things were so good! Breakfast was simple, but then what can one expect in a 2-star hotel? Everywhere was really clean. the staff were most kind and helpful. my room was spacious and comfortable. The icing on the cake was discovering that the hotel is only 10 mins walk away from a frequent and remarkably cheap bus service at Los Heroes to and from the main airport.
Nothing!
Thank you very much for your comment Andrew, we will pass your words on to the staff.
