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...).

United KingdomEverything was up to par
I checked into this little hostel for a few days. I'd read good things about it online, and it turned out to be a pretty decent place. The room was cheap and cheerful, and the place was spotless. The lady who works in the place is a cleaning machine, constantly scrubbing and polishing. There was a kitchen if you wanted to cook your own meals, and a few chill-out areas. When I was there, it was pretty quiet, but I imagine it gets busier in high season. It's not a party hostel, though. It's a nice, peaceful place to relax. You won't regret it.

I am a student traveling for this spring break. Wifi is very important so I can keep up with my live classes and do my exams. I never had problem with the wifi. It was fast and reliable. They also have desk and chair. Location: The location is accessible. I walked to the historic area most of the time. There is also a bus stop right in front of the hostel so it is easy access to explore far places. Museum of Pumapungo is just across the street. Cleanliness: The rooms, bathroom, and common area are always clean. Staff: Friendly and helpful

AustraliaKitchen wasn’t always clean but the bathrooms were reasonable. Needs more showers and toilets for the number of beds as often had to wait a while especially in the evenings
Friendly vibe, good common areas and little rooftop was cute, the kitchen is well stocked, there’s free filtered water available and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. It’s a little walk into town but a nice one, and it’s cool looking over the ruins at Pumapungo

Really nice hostel. Ended up extending for a week as if was so comfortable and friendly. It’s a little out of them centre, but only 10 min walk in, but it’s opposite the Pumapongo museum which was fantastically interesting. Well stocked kitchen and they kept the bathrooms clean throughout the day. The adjoining cafe was really nice but it wasn’t always open, they seem to open it as it was requested by guests.

BoliviaNot much to say, although located in the intersection of 2 main roads it the car's traffic may be noisy at certain times.
What an amazing place. Plenty of spaces, indoors or outdoors, where you can chill out or work. The kitchen is available to cook your own food. The hostel is somewhat so well planned that makes you feel that is really spacious even when it is full of guests...Xavier and the rest of the staff were really helpful and generous..
