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):
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.
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.).

IsraelExactly what it says in the description. It's not a hostel. It's a small hotel that has one dorm room. No shared spaces or whatever but whatever service they give, it's 100%. Cleanliness, shower, bed, all perfect.

United KingdomThe room had an AC unit but this wasn't included in the price and would have been a paid extra (the front desk staff said it was 100$/night). We stuck with just the fan and were glad we didn't pay extra because there was a power cut to the whole block in the middle of the night (which lasted until the next day) so it wouldn't have worked anyway. The room got to be pretty sweltering so we didnt sleep well.
The hotel is very good value and you get what you pay for. The room and bathroom were clean and we were able to arrange to leave our bags and take an evening shower before our night bus (both for a fee, but with towels and soap included) after we had checked out. It's in the center of town near some restaurants & shops and a short walk from the fancier Canada area. Easily reachable from the ADO station on foot.

United StatesTowels are provided but you just need to request one. If you have a lot of luggage or have mobility issues just be mindful the dorm room is on the very top floor so it's a few flights of (short) stairs to walk up. No complaints!
The rooms were very clean, like the rest of Palenque it can be hot but they offer individual floor fans for each guest which was excellent. The bathrooms were kept very clean, and I liked that there was one shower with a toilet, and then a separate individual shower, and additional individual toilets, so I never had to wait to use a facility. Staff were very pleasant. Wifi works well on top floor where the hostel room is located. I liked the layout of the room, as the beds are all arranged encircling the walls, and that the sinks were separate in a different "lobby" type room right outside the dormitory with mirrors and lockers so you weren't disturbing other guests since they're separated from the dorm room. And there are a couple stools and a mini-counter there to charge your phone, sit etc. This separate room in between the bathrooms and the dorm was great as well because it's out of the direct sun (the dorm is very sunny). The beds are all single beds (no bunk beds) which was also great. Outlets were easy to find throughout the room. Very good location. Only 10 or so min walking from the ADO station, you do have to cross one busy road directly in front of ADO but otherwise the walk was all sidewalks and easy to navigate, and passing lots of businesses (Farmacias and Oxxos en route). Remember to bring your own lock for the lockers and there isn't potable water there so be prepared to buy water outside the hostel. Pay in cash upon arrival and they give you a receipt as well. I was able to check in as early as 6:30am luckily (not sure they always open this early or I just got lucky and he was nice!) which was a great relief since my bus arrived early. Only photo I have is of the lobby entrance (wifi works there too just in case you forget something and need to log back in without having to run all the way upstairs)

our private room was spacious and the bathroom was clean with a good shower. we couldn’t hear the road from our room. location was good - 500m from ADO and 500m from the main square.

Hong KongFacilities are really basic - a single bed with a fan, no privacy curtain or anything. No hooks or hangers anywhere else. The street could be noisy but noise died down late night.
I saw some reviews having some concerns about the hygienic conditions. To be fair I have to mention that the lady doing the housekeeping has done an incredible job, it's more the fact that the tenants are not diligent enough in keeping places clean for everyone.. Location is near the Autobuses Terminal and this brings a lot of convenience. I arrived Palenque at 7am with an overnight bus, the hotel allows me to check in early if there's an available bed.
