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...).

NetherlandsThe room we had initially selected was a bit damp, dark and grotty, as there was no direct light and had a bad smell. But we could change to another room on the firts floor, which had windows and much more light.
The hostel has a nice atmosphere, with nicely decorated rooms, and is family-run, which contributes to a personal atmosphere. It's centrally located, at only a few blocks from the central square.

MexicoMy room on the 2nd floor was a bit hot during the night, even though it had a fan (Oaxaca in May). Next time I will be staying on the first floor. Much cooler there. Regardless, I had a good night sleep, very quiet part of town.
Everything that was in control of the hostel and the staff was great! Had a parking spot, my dog had a great time exploring the hotel. The roof terrace had a nice view. My bed was very comfy. All of that in the middle of the historic center.

We loved everything in this hostel; Angel and his staff, the comfort, the cleanliness, the decoration, the terrace, access to kitchen, the location which is close to the center but in the perfect quiet area. We extended our stay there for 6 nights total and it couldn't have been more perfect! There's a new car rental just on the corner which is perfect for a trip to hierve el agua at your own pace.

United StatesFor a couple it was a perfect place to get some privacy, however if you are a backpacker, it’s not a very social hostel.
The most comfortable bed in all of Mexico. We got a private room with a shared bathroom and the facilities were great. Hot shower with great pressure and everything was always clean. Felt like they cleaned the place multiple times a day. The room was also very spacious and the roof top patio was lovely. The staff were very friendly, helping us book tours and guided us on a stressful morning to catch our bus. The location is only a few minutes walk from the center and I felt very safe walking around during the day and at night. I will be coming back again.
