Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Really nice hostel right in the centre of Banos. Very comfortable rooms and we were able to book tours through the hostel at a cheap price (cheaper than what the tour agencies charge) Also only a 2 minute walk to the main bus terminal. Highly recommend

I love the hostel! It's 1 Min walk from the bus terminal, 2 blocks from the main Square and 10min walking from the thermal bath. Next to everything you Need, restaurante, shops, supermarket, Bakery. There are 2 nice big kitchens well furnished, fridge, microwave, space to store your food. They offer anytime free coffee, hot chocolate and different teas. Rooms are big enough, quiet, clean and they make your bed every day! Bathrooms always clean, clean towel with soap and shampoo given every day. The whole team Is absolutely great and Always available to help you with anything! Pamela knows a lot about tours too, they are also a travel agency, the best and cheaper in town! I booked with them rafting and I enjoyed so mucho! I've bene sick and Norma was sooo nice, taking care of me too! Carlos is also a great chill guy! I've stayed here almost 10 days! They have a terrace with pool but accessibile only until 7pm because there are rooms around.. possibility to do your laundry too!

United StatesI originally booked one night and ended up staying for six. The hostel is well located and close to everything in the town. You can do all of the tours through the hostel (canyoning, rafting, and zip lining) for the best price in town, and the agency will come and pick you up. The areas were very clean, and I appreciated that the bathrooms in the dorms were cleaned every day and they provided a new towel, soap, and shampoo daily. The beds also have curtains.

AustraliaIt was quite noisy in the evenings due to the central location.
The staff here were super lovely and offered lots of helpful local information. I checked out early to stay somewhere else in a private room because I'd injured myself and wanted to sook in peace, and they happily refunded me the difference. The kitchen and shared areas were clean, well-equipped, and comfortable.
