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...).

FranceThe room we had was spacious and well equipped. The only drawback was the lack of a window, which felt a little closed in—but it seems that’s the design of the hotel overall, so worth keeping in mind before booking. Despite that, I would happily recommend Pug Seal and would stay again!
I really enjoyed my stay at Pug Seal. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the Zócalo and the Santo Domingo church. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, and breakfast in the common area was both delicious and full of local flavors. My favorite spot was the terrace, with a view on the relaxing water installation.

United StatesThe breakfast was amazing! Every dish I tried during my 4 days stay was just delicious. The bed was so comfortable and the room was nice and always cleaned when I got back from my daily activities. The whole vibe was just perfect. I always miss it and when I return to Oaxaca I'll stay there again.

United StatesThere was an issue with my breakfast but other than that everything was great!
I can't say enough about this cute boutique hotel. The location, charm, aesthetics, warm staff won me over! I loved being immersed in a historical property and look forward to the upgrades they have planned for the future. The heart of the area is within walking distance and oh the street food..its a meat eater paradise. Too bad I'm a pescatarian. Overall it is a great option if you are looking for everything you need in a hotel...well except a pool for now.

LuxembourgRoom layout is odd and very close to main courtyard that some people mind find intrusive and bathrooms are separated by a curtain.

United KingdomI would have liked the WiFi to be a little better , and that now we are now a spoiled, they set a high bar for other places ! The large shower are made from a grey marble as are the sinks and are on point with the rest of the facilities, though personally I prefer a wall mounted adjustable show than just a rainfall shower.
This is a very easy place to feel relaxed in, the ambiance is great , the staff are well trained, well managed and well selected. There are thoughtful things for guests, like a fridge with foc drinks in the room, snacks, and drinks for guests in the various courtyards the rooms are spacious and someone’s took, A lot of effort to make them comfortable , interesting and visual. Great big comfortable beds too. The breakfasts are great interesting, tasty and a good choice,

South AfricaThe breakfast dining chairs were very uncomfortable and should be replaced with more comfortable padded seats. Having no windows to the outside was a little off putting.
Excellent staff and service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone spoke such good English. Quirky hotel which was delightful. Breakfast was a highlight.

United StatesWe absolutely love this hotel. The inspiring atmosphere created by the murals and architecture, combined with the service, and location make for a unique and transporting stay. The staff are exceptionally pleasant, helpful, and skilled, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived (quite late on a Sunday night). Ideally located in Centro, and they will arrange for a driver for fascinating tours of the archaeological and cultural sights, of which there are many.
