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...).

NorwayJorge was an amazing host, so helpful and friendly. The hostel is in walking distance of everything in a quiet part of town. The rooms were cleaned every day.

United KingdomThe beds don’t have any shelf where to put your stuff, and even in the bathroom there could be more space where to put your stuff.
The owner, Jorge, is such a sweet character and has a lot of attentions and pleasant surprises for his guests, from sweet bread offered twice a week, to a goodbye chocolate he bought for me. Also, by staying at this hostel you can have a 150 pesos discount on the lagoon tour and further discounts on restaurants and activities. Also, the atmosphere at this hostel was so friendly. Since it’s quite small it was easy to get to know everybody and create solid groups ❤️

IndonesiaNot enough pots and pans Volunteer made a mistake after confirming we were booked for two nights, yet being told after the first night we had to leave due to the hostel being booked out. Luckily the owner let us stay after figuring things out abd with a discounted rate. Location: it is far from everything and a long walk home at night with a lot of stray, and potentially angry dogs, to confront.
Good price Small and social enough Very cool owner who was extremely hospitable and friendly

PolandSuch a horrible room with no window, no ventilation, there was mold! Not a healthy environment to be in, nor the air to breathe. Stuffy room, dark, hot, the AC was on from 10 pm, but was not making the temperature any lower. The hostel is open all the time, during the night too! Anyone can enter. No keys given, it is not a secure place. Survived one night, but definitely not coming back
The staff was friendly and the location was close to the bus station. Free breakfast from 9am that consists of papaya, pineapple and banana, you can have coffee and tea too, a toast with jam, drinking water available

Germanyphotos are kind of misleading. the wifi is also a disaster, and the room I stayed in was definitely too small for 5 people. also had to drag a chair over to climb on to my bed as there was no ladder. also no warm water in the shower and the water pressure wasn’t great (although this appears to be a problem throughout mexico)
the included breakfast was nice , also did my laundry. victor (staff member) was very nice

South AfricaThe property does not have storage for backpacks/luggage during the day when you check out or check in early. The lady was very rude when we arrived while it was raining as she told us to come back at 3pm for check in when we were 2 hours early.
The property was clean, and there was a simple breakfast every morning. The rooms are unique! AC was switched on every evening.
