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 RepublicThere is no hot water after 23:30 which is kinda bad when you want to shower after going out at night. Be prepared for that. Also the room and bathroom that we has was quite poorly equiped, no table, chair or wardrobe. We basically unpacked our luggage on the floor. We were accommodated in the middle of December and it gets actually quite cold in Oaxaca at night (up to 8°C) and we only had thin blanket so we all were quite cold at night. Internet was very slow (around 3MB/s) and there is no big common area so if you are looking to meet new people, it's very difficult. But for couples or groups of friends it's perfect.
Very friendly staff on the reception. We got our room 1 hour before check in. Also we could leave our luggages at the reception after check-out and use the hostel facilities untill 9pm. Reception is 24/7. There is free coffee and water in the hostel. Location is really great, 5 minutes from main square and 3 minutes from delirious Tacos Roy.

IrelandThe wifi is very unreliable and doesn't reach all of the rooms. The shared kitchen was very poorly equipped (no kettle or microwave, only hobs) and there was no dish soap to clean the few dishes that were there. Can only cook during certain hours. It's nice that they have a gym room, but it has barely any equipment so it is a missed opportunity for them. We couldn't open our window on the first night and the room was far too warm to sleep. We got a new room on the second night after we messaged booking.com.
Good location, only a few minutes walk to the centre. Lots of showers and toilets.. The rooms were very big and spacious. Free water and coffee throughout the day. The building is lovely with a nice rooftop.

United StatesHot water in shower shuts off at 10pm, but front desk doesnt tell you this and no signage I had a patio room which meant: 4 story walkup, no elevator Access to your room & restrooms via exposed patio which gets wet in rain Wifi on Patio would drop connection, be slow and very unreliable in evenings when usage high I traveled in rainy season, but I suspect the rooms without fan/AC get quite hot at night in dry season Didnt like the metal frame of the bed, which I kept hitting with my feet. Private room was super-basic and small with just a small plastic table and metal rack, but I knew this when booking. I didnt pay much for the room, so some downsides were expected.
Walkable location close to Zocalo Private Room relatively clean except for bugs flying in open windows, which I left open because there was no fan or AC. Lots of spaces on upper floors to hang out, exercise in place Nice Roof deck overlooks city Relatively quiet at night. Some noise from traffic, and bizarre 'revele' call from street at 7am Staff did good job keeping common areas clean. Split shower and toilet rooms to accommodate more people.

CanadaGreat kitchen but not even a spoon to use - kinda hard to cook unless you're very creative! After a shower, the floor would be flooded for a good part of the day - even for using the bathroom. I got overcharged from my initial booking price but didn't notice when checking in as it had never happened to me before. My bad, I'll just verify each time from now on.
Big room, shared bathroom. Shower has great pressure and very hot water. Coffee and cookies. Nice terraza, just couldn't enjoy it as it was raining. Location right in the center, can't beat that.
