Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Áabilo’ob Hostel is an absolute gem! Just a short stroll from the beach, this cozy and welcoming place has everything you need for a perfect stay. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable, and has a wonderful, relaxed vibe that makes you feel at home immediately. The highlight, though, is the owner – a truly fantastic person who goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has an amazing experience. Whether you’re looking for local tips, good company, or just a peaceful retreat, Áabilo’ob Hostel has it all. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

There is nothing that I didn’t like as you can’t expect luxury accommodations but pay hostel rates.
Exceptional value! Great location close to beach, malecon, restaurants, grocery store and bus station. Very clean, free drinking water, access to the kitchen to prepare your own groceries, air conditioned, and wifi. Hospitality and support was outstanding.

Highly recommend this hostel. And will not hesitate to stay here again! The owner is very kind and helpful and is continually working on improvements to the property. Fresh linen and a towel! Is the cherry on the top. This is not a party hostel, so you can get a good night sleep. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Well. I was the only one in the dormitory this night. I could of used a little company. That didn’t arrive till the next morning.
I liked that this is a family run business and that they are trying hard to please without dropping standards. For a hostel, it’s super clean, the mattresses are all of good orthopedic quality, the bunk beds are well built the air conditioning is not too cold. more like central air. (I can only speak for my bed)

There is absolutely nobody at the reception until 2PM. I thought I could drop of my stuff and check in later like in literally every other hostel I've ever stayed in, but, no. The 3 dorm are all connected. There's frames where doors used to be busy just no door. Also there is a is an open square in the wall pretty far up between all the dorms. So if there is just one person snoring, that could be enough. Also the day I left I made sure my stuff is packed up and out of the room before the check out time. But that also doesn't matter cause if you want to stay longer just on that day ( cause for example your bus is leaving in the afternoon) or if you just want to leave your luggage there, your deposit is gone. And if you want to stay longer than 4 PM the same day there is an extra charge again. Also there where lot of little and extra rules when you get the tour/ do the check in. So nothing was actually bad..it where just a lot of little things that added up to being pretty annoying. Also the owner is cooking I'm the same kitchen as you are if that's important for you. I was feeling more like a roommate than a guest. And also it didn't really feel like a hostel.
The owner was friendly She had good recommendation for what you can do. It was all very clean

The owner is a very rude woman, she acted as if she was doing us a favour, bathroom are stinky and full of feces, and there is a Camara facing the bathroom, so they can see you when U get naked. Kitchen extremely dirty. Beds are full of dust. The whole dorm had a vomit smell. She was really rude and even blamed us for "eating her food", which we didn't. Worst hostel we have ever stayed at. On top of it a solar battery disappeared from our belongings.
Nothing to like
