Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The only thing is you can hear the hallway sound when people pass by. But everyone is quiet at night, in the morning may wake you up. With an ear plug would be solved!
It's a wonderful choice for solo travelers. Its also a great choice for girls who travel alone. Definitely my first choice in Santiago! Clean, safe, nice staff!!!!

Enjoyed my short stay. All of the excellent reviews and photos were accurate! Nice common areas including an interior patio. WiFi worked well. Very helpful staff for guiding you to restaurants, historical sites and different modes of transportation. Drinks available from a small bar. Several major museums and historical sites are accessible on foot. Highly recommend.

Our stay at the hotel was amazing because of the incredible staff. They explained everything, stored our luggage, and gave us a map with tips on what to see and do. The hotel offers great value for the price, with a perfect location for exploring the city. Our room was clean and quiet, thanks to the double glass doors, even though it faced the street. Overall, the staff made our visit perfect, and the hotel was a great place to stay.

No warm water in the shower and the rooms are not soundproof (but usually other guests were quiet at night)
Cosy and clean hostal with nice common areas full of art displays. I also liked the cafe/bar where you can have a drink after a day in the city. The staff are super friendly and provide a lot of advice on things to do in Santiago.

Family run hotel in a lovely old building. Short walk to the train, and restaurants. Staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and to help making arrangements for taxis and day tours. Very nice friendly atmosphere. Large room, comfortable bed, good bathroom. Good wifi. Not a 5 star place, but excellent value for money.
