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 reviewGandhi (a talented artist) and his mother, Elena, are friendly and generous hosts of this lovely homestay. They welcomed me into their home, helped me find wonderful places to go and made my stay a pleasure. The room was clean, the bed was big and soft, and the shower was strong. It is close to the centre (5 minutes walk) with a handy Mini-market opposite. The courtyard is a beautiful place to relax in the evening and socialise with the family and other guests. Chirrin the cat is a friendly and welcoming part of the household. It was hard to find at first. It is the blue house opposite the Willy's Mini-market. Hostel Chirrin is a lovely place to stay and great value.

Verified reviewRunned by a very loving mother and son. They make you feel like home and you are included in the family. Room was pretty clean. They take care of you nicely. Location was nice.
Shower didn’t have enough pressure and the small fan wasn’t enough to cool the room.

Verified reviewThis was the most amazing place. The hosts were just lovely. I fell sick after one day and they were looking after me like I was family. I felt so at home and so comfortable and seen. I have never experienced anything like this. If you’re looking for connection and people that have recommendations for basically every place in Mexico, this is what you’re looking for. The rooms are spacious, as are the beds, with private bathrooms. Everything is simple, but very clean and comfortable. Everything in the city is within walking distance and some great taco places are just around the corner.

Verified reviewThe owner was so friendly and offered for me to eat homecooked food with him (I didn't have time to take him up on this but I'm sure it would have been wonderful and it was such a lovely offer to have some real family food!) The owner also provided some excellent restaurant recommendations. The cat - Chirrin- was the cutest.
The room and bathroom felt very run down, to be honest almost squalid. There was no hot water or much water pressure. The room was absolutely overrun with mosquitos and even my anti-mosquito plug in couldn't hold them off (the owner provided those coils to burn for mosquitos but I didn't use one because I had a plug in - doubt it would have helped much). I knew there was no AC when I booked but the fan wasn't enough to sleep comfortably and was covered in dirt which was spread around the room when switched on.

Verified reviewStaying at Hostal Chirrin was one of the highlights of my trip backpacking across Mexico. Ghandi and Elena were incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived—they made me feel like part of the family. Elena’s home-cooked Mexican meals were an absolute treat and I would highly recommend trying them. Both hosts were also super helpful with tips and advice about the local area and hostel is only a 5-10 minute walk from both the bus station and city centre. The room itself was clean and spacious, and the bed was the biggest Ive stayed in during my travels. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home with hosts who genuinely care, I can’t recommend Hostal Chirrin enough.
Nothing, everything was great.

Verified reviewExtremely friendly and informative hosts.
Some noisy neighbours on the night I stayed. Directions to the location, and access, need to be a bit clearer.

Verified reviewThe owners are the best people I've met. If you want to feel the love of a family, go there!
Just that I could not find the house easily, and really is not hidden. A few more directions and a big number outside of the house would be enough. Even a graffiti with the name would make it! Lol.

Verified reviewThe nicest hosts I’ve ever met! This Hostal is run by a mom and son duo and they made me feel right at home and a part of the family. They offered suggestions for things to do around the city, and provided lots of info about the local culture and history. I would 100% stay here again.

Verified reviewGandhi and his mum , Elena, are some of the most open, welcoming and attentive hosts I've ever stayed with. So kind and generous in everything they do to make you feel right at home. I felt completely welcomed into the family and learnt a lot about the history of the Mayan and Aztec people along the way. An absolute pleasure from start to finish, thank you so much Gandhi and Elena! :)
That I couldn't have stayed any longer
