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...).

Katherine was very friendly and helpful with transport bookings and finding us a good price. The communal area was kept clean Well equipped kitchen to cook your meals- one of the best we’ve experienced! Free coffee, cooking oil, salt provided for cooking. Enough tables for eating Location is a short walk from the Main Street, very safe and away from noise.

Stayed as a group of three for 4 nights. Nothing but good things to say about this place. * Location - only a couple of blocks from the parque central meaning you can walk everywhere. Within walking distance to bus station. * Wifi - Worked well and didn’t cut out * Rooms - We were in room 2. The beds were comfortable. Room was clean. Air conditioning worked well. Hot water in the shower worked. * Kitchen - One of the real highlights of this property was its common spaces. Large very well equiped kitchen with two fridges. Four tables to eat at. Small area outside for smokers or people who prefer to be in the sun. Being able to self cater allowed us to save a lot of money. * Value - 38USD a night for a group of three with private bathroom and air conditioning was good value. * Staff friendly - although not located on site at all times was contactable through WhatsApp * Security - bars on our window. Lock on the front door. Deadlock on our door. 24 hour CCTV in common spaces. Overall a great option for budget to mid range travellers.

Great stay!!! Katherine was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. She’s learning English and did very well at communicating with our Irish friend. She gave us recommendations about the cheapest supermarkets, best local restaurants (Sodas) and things to see. The hostel was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. Absolutely recommend!

FranceThe service was exceptional! We arrived late into San Jose as our flight was delayed so we struggled a bit with finding the buses. Anna and Kathryn both helped us by finding the bus schedules and where to get the buses. They were on hand for calls and messages. We left about 5/5.30pm and arrived at 11.30. After arriving, Kathryn gave us some excellent recommendations and for the next couple of days we were able to enjoy some free activities in the hot springs and a nearby river where everyone goes to jump in from a rope.

We laughed a lot :) The hostel is small but so cozy - if you want you can cook in the kitchen or reach the center in few minutes. The area is very quiet and the beds are comfortable. It’s a perfect spot to start several adventure trips.

AustraliaThe room was very very small with no place to put anything. The reception team was very nice but you never know when they'll be at reception which can make it a little hard to get answers (there is a WhatsApp number thought and they've been very available).
Great location, very central to everything but still on a side street to be quiet. The kitchen was very well equipped.
