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 reviewVery clean. Nice staff always available to help and quick to fix if there is any issue.
A bit noise in the morning. It looks like there is a school next door with kids playing games in the morning.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing, you are effectively living alongside the several generations of family so there is always someone to help. They are very friendly and will go the extra step to help. They even have laundry and cleaning services. The location is excellent being close to the centre and tours will come pick you up. You also cant really argue for the price, super cheap. The room is a great size and has a private bathroom.
I was there in June which is winter so the house was quite cold and there isnt heating. They give lots of blankets so its not too bad when sleeping but definitely bring lots of warm clothes and slippers if you have the room. The hot water is also temperamental. There is also a school next door so you might hear the kids cheering and music in the mornings.

Verified reviewThe people at the accommodation are really nice, helping with all inquiries. Even though they only speak Spanish, we could solve everything and could even store our luggage for some days during our trek. The hostel is located in a quiet surrounding but still only 10 minutes walking to the main places.
Communication only in Spanish but that still works with translations

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay at Qolmay -- especially because it's located a bit further from the city center (just a short walk to San Pedro market) and therefore a bit quieter and less busy. :)

Verified reviewIt was clean. The people who work there are very kind and they don't speek English. They helped me with everything, had given me better pillows and helped with lugagge. Thank you.
It was my first days in Cusco. It was rainy days, and it was cold in the room. I didn't had hot shower. The kids playground is just behind the window. So at the day time it is noisy and if you have a jet lag it is not comfortable. And location is next to big local market far from any turist cafes. It is not what I really wanted. But for somebody it can be intresting.

Verified reviewClean, spacious rooms. Hot shower. Very friendly personnel.
They wanted us to pay a 15% commission on top of the advertised price, because that is what they have to pay to the booking platform. We refused to pay the commission because that is not how the system works. This encounter made the remainder of our stay uncomfortable.
