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 reviewEverything is like in the pictures. As a solo traveler I felt super safe, all the staff 10/10, the location is perfect. You can walk to most of the tourist places from the hostel. The port is a 20min walk.

Noise from waste water pipe in boxing in the middle of the room. So when people above me used the toilet or sink. I could hear running water

Verified reviewExcellent location, twin room was large, good social area, whatsapp group to join, different activities throughout the week. Good size breakfast. Washing service.
Carpet in the room could do with a clean and the shower in the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but not a massive issue.
Thank you so much for your comment, Christopher! We're so glad you had such a great time with us and appreciate our service. We're very sorry about the problem with the shower and the carpet. We've already checked them. We hope to see you again in Montevideo! :)

Verified reviewVery good location and the builiding is really charming.
The linens were not clean - I found stains and hair in my bed. Also the bathroom walls of my private suite were dirty, specially the ones in the shower box where the grouts between the tiles were dark due to the sludge.

Verified reviewLocation and staff were def the highlight of the place. Really centric and great, however downtown in the weekends at night can get really empty and sketchy but otherwise works great. Staff were amazing too as they helped me book a tour and with so many questions - really nice. The building is also quite cool but need some remodeling.
Didn’t like that the bed bunks are combined (4 beds in one bunk bed with a division in the middle). So you are almost sleeping next to someone and can hear/feel everything. The door lock did not work properly and also some parts of the hostel really need to be cleaned better (inside of the room was always ok though - just the common areas deserved better)

Verified reviewWent in to ask the receptionist to let me take a look at the room first. She refused by saying they don't let anyone look at the room without a reservation. Can you believe that? She said photos shown on the websites should be enough. Either this hostel has got issues or it got someone with issues at the front desk. :-)

Verified reviewLocation right in the old town. The cinema room where I spent my nights ^^ Staff is very helpfull. It's a cute place.
No backpack atmospher when I was here. They don't do activities like in the other Viajero so it's very quiet and you don't meet lot of people. The bed I was the first night had a very strong smell of weed, like if someone smoked in it and now the matress smell of it. I changed bed the next night and problem was solved 🙂
