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.).

PhilippinesThere’s no one to assist you going to the room and unlike other hostels, here they give the pillow and towel upon checking in. So you have to carry everything on your own plus your luggage. The top bunk has a very small space from the ceiling and it’s not safe going up and down as there’s nothing else to hold on to aside from the ladder. Wifi wasn’t working very well in the room.
It’s well located and the place has a cozy vibe.

United KingdomFacilities are basic but kept clean. The loo roll sometimes ran out late at night and early in the morning.
Really lovely hostel, photos don't do it justice! Friendly staff and good clean facilities. Amazing location a couple of blocks from the main square. Able to help us with anything we needed including laundry, storing bags and tour advice. Great price considering we were there for day of the dead!

GermanyThere was not really the possibility to cook. Also the hostel was quite empty. I was with my best friend and we enjoyed the calmness. But if you do solo travelling and you want to meet people, than it's probably not the right place.
The Location is great. I also liked the patio. Andriana was very nice and helpful!

United KingdomWeird half doors in the bathroom/toilets - so people can see your face if standing in the toilet and most of your legs. Was just quite awkward as the ladies bathroom/toilet main door was always left wide open so all the men could see in too! No free water like other places have them. They do have water and drinks that you can pay for.
Excellent helpful staff, clean, comfortable beds, access to charge phone by the bed, laundry services (pay per kilo). Provision of soap and shampoo sachet for guests.

United States-they charge to hold your luggage if you leave after checkout … what really bothers me was that they weren’t receptive to feedback about including policies on sites like Booking.com so that travelers can make informed decisions (I am on a shoestring budget and would have picked a different hostel or a different bus time if I had known in advance). Maybe I’m too particular but I prefer policies and fees to be transparent. -breakfast was offered but was pretty much just coffee and bread products … the bread I grabbed was stale, so I chose to just get other food for breakfast I was in a dorm… Some things to note about the dorm that might be an issue for folx: -there were lockers but not enough for every bed to have one -on one bed the ladder to the top bunk is blocked by the locker so you’d have to climb onto the locker to get up on the bed -the doors to the room don’t seal fully, so there were bugs (ants, mosquitoes) in the room -if you open the metal doors more than half way to get in the room they hit the metal lockers, which is quite loud and kind of hard to avoid -I personally did not find the bed comfortable but of course everyone is different
-the location is just fantastic!!! … an easy walk to the zocalo -it is a really cool looking space, with murals on the walls, hammocks, and chill spaces -some of the staff are really great … I’ve lady in particular was very helpful when I was having issues flagging down a taxi to catch my bus -wifi was pretty solid -the building felt pretty secure, with the front door always locked and someone at the front desk to let guests in -I appreciated that there was a blanket on the bed

United StatesThe was nothing to not like. Excellent hostel.
The staff are wonderful. The included breakfast is delicious. Very comfortable bed and hot showers with good water pressure. Very clean. Lovey courtyard to sit in with hammocks and a common area in the second floor also. Very quiet considering how close it is to the Zocalo. So close to everything!!! I’ll be back in Oaxaca next week and will definitely stay here then and whenever I come back.

Taiwan- the cleaning lady was rude She will turn off all the light when you are still in the terrace. And without noticing. When you get into the kitchen in the allowed time, the lady will ask you not to use, even though there is at least 20mins left. - you don’t have any light in the room, if you take mixed room. - the doors of shower and the toilet are only half shaped. That means whoever enters the restroom can see who’s inside the shower and toilet and even smell it. There is no privacy. - The hot water is limited and without warning. There is no hot shower at around 11pm.
The location is good. You can get to the downtown in 10 mins. The staffs in the reception are friendly.

CanadaThere was some confusion, I had requested a taxi to the airport via booking.com special requests, and the lady said she did not know about this. So I ended up getting my own taxi at 5am. But it worked out fine. Also the bathrooms are exactly as other commenters have mentioned - doors so low you can look people in the eye. Super awkward.
Staff was very nice. It was quiet and I luckily got a whole dorm to myself.
