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.).

United KingdomLack of hot water was a ‘refreshing’ surprise. Internal room was a little stuffy but did have a good fan and there was plenty of other spaces in the hostel.
Friendly helpful greeting with lots of useful information. Lots of ‘hang out’ spaces. Comfortable room with good lighting and quiet fan. Good breakfast with on tap coffee.

United KingdomThe room could use more working fans as it gets very hot, and there are only two bathrooms upstairs. Additionally, the water is cold, the kitchen is poorly equipped with limited cutlery, plates, and pans (with only two hobs working), and filtered water comes at an extra cost.
The hostel has a homey feel with a very good included breakfast, and the staff are absolutely wonderful—helping to arrange many activities and ensuring a great location. There are plenty of sports and adventure activities available, and towels are provided.

Very good prices on the laundry service, snacks, drinks and restaurant food. They offered a Christmas Eve meal that was classy and delicious. Chill out area in the back and lots of information for those who wish to do activities around town and in the region.

United StatesThe pillows don't compress under your head. I found them too thick for comfort and slept on a folded towel instead.
I liked the grandeur of the "big house" with huge timbers in the ceiling, spacious rooms with high ceilings, a balcony above the courtyard to enjoy the morning sun, and a garden in the rear with comfortable sofas and hammocks. It made for good conversations with several other guests. The staff work to make you comfortable, bringing in tasty food from a restaurant and keeping it quiet after 10 pm. It represents a good value for the price. The location is convenient but noise-free.

EcuadorWi-fi in my room was weak and I had to go to the co-working space to be able to use the Internet. No hot water :-(. It's not too bad for a shower, but washing your hair is a problem. The pictures are too flattering - in reality the room looks different. That said, given the price, great value if you're a budget traveller
The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes from the main square. Fresh juice and a choice of eggs / omelette for breakfast. Excellent value for money Gave a short, but helpful overview of the town / things to do upon arrival. The room was clean
