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 KingdomRoom was a little noisy. The bar is very popular with locals and tourists and has live music at weekends and cocktails hours. Can be quite noisy untill 11 pm so fine for adults but maybe not for young children. Not sure if it possible to get quieter rooms away from bar area.
Big spacious rooms tastefully decorated. Comfortable bed. Great food in restaurant. Extremely helpful staff. Central location.

SwitzerlandI guess if I have to put something here it's that the showers take forever to get hot. But that's a problem all over ecuador, so I can't really hold it against them.
Nice staff, cool room, the building is quite nice. Not much to complain.

United StatesI assumed that a 'hostel' is traveller-friendly but this was more like a hotel with dorm options. Staff were friendly but didn't make any effort to tell me about what to see in Cuenca or getting to/from Cajas or Ingapirca. I was disappointed to realize that the kitchen was only for the expensive restaurant and there wasn't so much as a microwave, knife and cutting board or hot water on offer to prepare simple meals.
Beautiful old building remodeled and converted into a hostel in a very central part of downtown Cuenca. Spacious dorm room and medium sized lockers a plus.

MexicoThere is a restaurant inside the hostel. it really felt like the restaurant was the priority and the bedrooms were an extra. There was live music/ stand up comedy on every night I was there, it was so loud and when it went on past the advertised time and I complained, I was made to feel like I was being boring/ unreasonable. guests should be able to rest at any time in their rooms and not depending on the schedule of events at the restaurant. if I had known about these events, I wouldn’t have booked. I wouldn’t stay again.
The location. The food in the restaurant is very good.

United Statesthe front desk not attended as it should be - concerns about safety that anyone can enter from the street. I stayed 4days in the dorm and there was nobody else in the dorm during this entire time. I think they had 2 other guests for one night in a private room. Not a place where you will likely meet other travelers.
the location is good.
