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 reviewThe setting is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The private room was clean and comfortable with toiletries included. The offers of activities are nice and the communal areas look fun and inviting.
It wasn’t always clear who was staff and who were guests but it wasn’t a big problem. The outdoor toilets would benefit from a bigger rain canopy, it’s impossible not to get soaked on your way in and out haha

Verified reviewBeautiful location, in the midst of nature, still very close to town. Very calming.
I would have personally preferred more bathrooms for the amount of people we shared a room with.

Verified reviewI would say the best I got was enjoying a balanced environment between work and rest. If you come to Ekko Hostel you're here for a treat of a genuine stay. Staying here allowed me to create community, learn new skills, and make new friends on my free time. I was able to work remotely (30+h/week) with the majestic view to the Tepozteco, and grab healthy and yummy meals from their cafe and nearby places. Commuting to Tepoztlán center was easy from their location with the local vans ($10 pesos/ride). I also am really grateful for the guests gracious hosting and their efforts to have us respect silent hours. PS. If you're a pet lover like myself you're gonna enjoy it even more. Love their furries!!!! 🐾

Verified reviewspacious, earthy, clean, resourced kitchen, out of the main buzz of the town, hot water, comfy warm beds, always soap and toilet paper, kind people.
they were preparing for a party while i was there, a little of a buzz in all the communal spaces… that was the only thing.

Verified reviewi loved the hamacas on the garden and overall the outdoor area was nice & with amazing view !
The bed was for some reason uncomfortable for me, i couldnt fall asleep. the storage space above the bed didnt hold closed unless you used a lock, so i had it opened over me the whole night and it seemed little claustrophobic. But mostly there is just one bathroom per room so even if you need to pee you have to wait for ppl to finish showering and lm tell you some ppl take it inconsiderately VERY long 👹 also its not the closest to the center (uphill) but collectivos run there every 10 mins so that is not such a problem Also as someone already mentioned the list of rules (prohibitions) you are given as soon as you arrive gives an unwelcoming feeling

Verified reviewReally friendly people, but the place has problems.
We stayed in one of the private rooms and the place was just covered I mean COVERED in what looked like mold. Honestly, I'm not sure if it was even safe but for two nights whatever. I really hope they see this review and do something about it. I even knocked a pillow off the bed onto the wall and noticed it was covered in black stuff. Really really undesirable and uncomfortable situation we strongly considered leaving. So...yeah. Sorry but I don't think it's safe without some serious intervention.

Verified reviewEkko Hostel was a. friendly chilled location with a yoga, drumming, healing vibe. Kitchen and communal meals. A 15 minute walk down the hill from Tepotzlan but with local shops and cafes. Friendly staff and the hostel attracts a buena honda crowd.
its outside Tepotzlan but easy to get around via shared taxis and collectivos

Verified reviewEverything was perfect - the place, the facilities, the location - and the volunteers made this place even extra special with great activities (yoga, temazcal, Ricardo's delicious community dinners, and they also organize tai chi, african dance, fogata, and so much more). Warmly recommended!

Verified reviewThis place is really special, and beautiful, the people who run the place and living there, the energy - like a small community. came in a day that was cacao ceremony and they all welcomed me to join and it was so much fun to sing around the fire. Also came with my leg injured and the really helped me and took care of me. The place is close to the centre but still far enough to be quiet and chill.
