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 KingdomMaybe if the breakfast could start earlier as 9am is a bit late if you wish to get out and about early. Also it was very cold at night and I only got a thin sheet and blanket, got a bit of a cold because of this, but overall good.
Sharing in a dorm but without bunk beds, and a privacy sheets between was a great alternative to the traditional hostel bed experience. They foster a very social environment with regular activities that most guests wish to engage in. Gorgeous rooftop for the bar and to hangout on. Excellent location to Centro and the bus station.

United StatesThe room does get a little hot. Another would be the internet connection was terrible it would keep on disconnecting and it said no signal.
Staff was really welcoming even if I got there a couple minutes late. Everyone is social and they have a WhatsApp group chat that keeps everyone looped in on events or runs to get stuff that you might need for your stay.

Staff is super nice and speak english. There is a pub on the roof witch is a meeting place in the evenings (with happy hour). Lots of common spaces to meet the other people in the hostel. The dorm rooms have some piracy with a curtain.

SwitzerlandHigh standard complaints here, but I'd wish for more, and nicer lights, e.g. to go down the stairs of the large room, or the lamp next to the beds. .
Common area, rooftop chill area, spacious kitchen, location in the city, and the comfy beds! All in all great place to stay in the middle of oaxaca!

AustraliaIf this was a Real estate ad, the property would be described as having rustic “charm” and “character”. Communal area seating featured gym mat style mattresses, bathrooms were ok but poor water pressure. For the price, it’s a popular place, but facilities feel a bit run down. An ok hostel but definitely not the best I’ve stayed at in travels through Mexico and Central America.
Great location, the included breakfast was tasty and ample, and I appreciated that while the hostel had a social/friendly atmosphere they respected quiet hours with a firm 11pm for the bar/music to shut down. I had booked a private room and found the bed comfortable and clean.

RussiaKitchen closes at 22:00 (why?), at least leave a water bottle outside. Shower has a low pressure.
Great atmosphere, full of life and travelers. Owner is very nice and welcoming. Terrace to do yoga, eat breakfast or chill. Big kitchen. Would be nice to have hammocks there! And other beer options in the bar. Beds with curtains give you some privacy in dorm. Okay breakfast.

BelgiumI didn’t like the breakfast: not a good atmosphere, no good welcoming (no smile from the woman , no chats, only the token talk a bit military) and the size of the breakfast was too short and not so tasty (the count of the number of 4 bananas pieces and if we asked more it was often a « no » and sometimes not even warm enough.
I loved the activities proposed: the salsa lesson, the sun rising and sunset ballads, the happy hours (the barman talked about the mezcal with passion and shared his knowledge), .. The staff at the reception was great! The clean lady was sweet: always smiling to the guests even if doesn’t seem to be easy for her to get what she needed.

United KingdomThe bed space itself was a bit dark and just didn't feel as cosy as some other hostels. It's also right by a door outside so can be cold/mosquitos coming in. Very clean though!!
The people are lovely and friendly! Very helpful too. The communal areas are great - with a bar on the roof top terrace. It's clean and facilities are great.

South KoreaThe facilities could have been cleaner, my bed had ripped sheets and the ladder next to bunk 9 in the pink room is positioned such that anyone in bunk 10 has to climb into my bunk first. Kinda awkward.
The location was the best you could ask for and the what's app group was super helpful. Everything to see in Oaxaca historical center was within 10min walking distance!
