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 reviewGood location. Nice space, pool table. Hammocks
Staff not so friendly. Seems that there was only one person working there the whole time. Breakfast was at another hotel 5 min walk away.

Verified reviewThis place surpassed my expectations. It was very clean and the bed linen and blankets smelled fresh of laundry detergent. The dorms have AC. The receptionist is very kind and always thinking of what else you might need for a comfortable stay. You can pay in dollars and get change in lempiras which was very useful as I did t want to pay ATM fees for my 1 day in Honduras. They can book shuttles to a number of places in and outside Honduras.

Verified reviewThe place is Nice. Beds were fine. Lovely cats. Warm shower.
With breakfast Would be Nice if there was tea or juice. Not just coffee because I dont drink it. Also the rooms are small so not much space for all the backpacks. The kitchen could be better equiped.

Verified reviewThe hostel is a very good place to stay. The location is near the bus station and the Central Park (which means it’s near everything). It is very clean too. The staff was super nice.
The code to the outside door lock was changed for some reason, but there is no way to notify you of the change. Ringing the doorbell took quite awhile. Fortunately it’s a safe area.
Thanks for your kind words towards the hostel :)!! really sorry for that inconvenience, we’ll make sure to make that something that won’t happen now. Have a nice trip!

Verified reviewNaum was a lovely host. The bathroom was clean but more toilets/showers are needed. The dorm had a/c and blankets were included. Very basic but comfortable and very well located. Value for money.
The dorm was quite cramped. No individual reading lights with the beds

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay al this hostel except for one incident during the night. The two boys at the reception were super friendly, welcoming, helpful and together with the two small cats that live in the hostal, I felt super safe and cozy. They really did a good job in making me and everyone else at the hostal feel comfortable and taken care of.
It was a perfect stay, until this girl that I think works at the hostal arrived around mid-night and slammed every door possible, walked like an elephant and was absolutely disrespectful to everyone that was already sleeping. She even came into our room to use our bathroom and was so loud, that it felt like she was trying her best to be as loud as she possibly could. She kept switching all the lights on and off and it seemed like she was on some type of drugs or something. We (everyone in my dorm) got scared and ended up locking our bedroom and later heard how some other guest complained because of the noise she was making, seemingly on purpose. She did not apologize and simply began arguing and being rude with the person that complained, even though this person was nice about expressing the complaint. Her behaviour was very out of place and absolutely unneccesary as we also unfortunately had a very early morning the next day. Sadly it completely ruined it for me :(
We’re very sorry for your experience, we’ll make sure to take action so this will never happen again, thanks for letting us know. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience and will take appropriate action.
