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.).

Czech RepublicWe were given a room that was taken from us the second night. I had requested a TWIN. However, we were given a double. Poor breakfast and noisy other guests :-(

FranceBreakfast is very limited (a set plate with 2 scrambled eggs, bread and jam - no ham/cheese/fruits/oats like some other hotels in the area). We had a room on the ground floor and it was sometimes quite loud due to people being in the reception. We also had a window on the street, difficult to get privacy and it could not be opened either which is a bit of a shame. Bedroom looked a bit old and the bathroom door didn’t close
Good location, good bedroom size, friendly staff. Could drop off our bags before our 3 day trek which was very nice of them

United Kingdom- It wasn't very clean, there was some hair in the shower and generally dirt in corners and on the walls etc. - Value for money wasn't great, the room itself was passable but had definitely seen better days and needed redecorating. Compared to prices elsewhere in Argentina and more widely I would expect more for the price.
+ Staff were very friendly and helpful + The location is great and very convenient + Easy parking and access

SloveniaBreakfast is served from seven but Mauricio told us several times during check in that we should go to the park before six in order to avoid paying the expensive entrance fee and that there is no other way into the park which is false. So we missed the first breakfast but then we found a nice path into the park that avoids official entrance.
There is a way into the park that avoids official entrance just uphill from the property. It’s a shame they don’t tell you about it.

IrelandDeposit for staining the sheets is the first time I've encountered the like in 9 months of travel. Hard to understand the logic behind it. No kitchen on the premises for guest use which is unusual compared to similar properties in the area where people are may prepare food for hikes. For the price wifi was very poor and I would have expected a tv for the price in comparison to other accommodation I've stayed in Chile and Argentina.

PolandThe hostel charges you 50$ in CASH upon arrival for deposit (they accepted chilean peso from us). During check-out the room is checked almost as we are in kindergarten. Rooms were cleanish (there were some stains on the bedsheets). All the strict rules which we received before and upon arrival feel very unwelcoming (check-out at 10:00 with NO exceptions, keeping deposit for MAKEUP stains on towels etc.). The heating machine was really loud
The location was good and considering prices in El Chalten the price was acceptable. Breakfast was ok (scrambled eggs, bread, jam and coffee)

AustraliaOver priced. The hostels were just as good in many ways. Staff were polite but have many silly rules to suit themselves. The staff are just trying to get you in and out with minimum effort for themselves. Not very welcoming or helpful. I appreciate El Chalten is expensive, and guests are there to hike and therefore may be wet (due to rain) or have mud on shoes etc. but unlike some hotels / hostels, the hotel makes no effort to accommodate this obvious need and combats with extra rules.
Very basic, but private rooms.

AustraliaThe main entry/reception could do with a small make over and get rid of the well worn couches.
This place is more like a hostel than a lodge. More suited for back packers which this area is renowned for. Things are very basic.

PortugalHowever, the service could benefit from a more relaxed approach. While staff members were professional, a more laid-back atmosphere would enhance the overall guest experience. One aspect that stood out was the policy on deposits and guarantees for rooms, which seemed somewhat disproportionate. A more flexible approach in this regard would better align with the overall vibe of the town.
My recent stay in El Chaltén was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. The breakfast offered a nice selection, contributing to a positive start each morning.
