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...).

CanadaThis Hostal is off the beaten path a little however it has a real Mexican character to it. Take the time and explore the area you will realize the location is fine. It is quiet and comfortable.

SpainThe sandy trail leading to the hostel was a bit scary to walk through because of the neighbors' dogs. it was also a bit far away from everything. It makes sense to stay here if you are catching a boat at the Marina
The place is clean and comfortable. There is also a communal kitchen one can use

Hong KongI checked in both the double room(without bathroom) and the family room(with bathroom) due to some sudden change on my itinerary. The share bathroom is clean, but the mattress for the double is too soft. Mattress for the family room (luna) is awesome. Only draw back is that they forgot to clean the bathroom of the family room from the previous checkout, they tried to make up for me, but leaving the sink totally forgotten. The road(all the way from the closest roundabout is not paved), I know that is the government's issue, but making it very difficult to drag the luggage to the hostel.
The tranquility of the place is awesome, except that those poor dogs from the entrance lot were trained to bark madly to any passing by are very annoying. With share kitchen, fridge and drinking water, I can enjoy my shopping from the convenient store slowly. Only takes less than 20minutes walk to the beach, where you can see whale breaching and jumping rays Hosts are very friendly, and the little courtyard is very comfortable, I spotted a sun bird when I was there

United StatesThe single overhead light in the shared dorm! But hey, it IS a dorm!!!!
I booked a bed in the shared dorm. I loved the easy access to the bathroom, the privacy curtain around my bunk bed, and I definitely liked the cost!!! Thank you so much for providing free coffee and water each day, that was divine! And thank you for being an overall exceptional host. I appreciate my time at La Playita and WOULD book again!!!! Thank you!

United StatesVery cosy, quiet, spacious and great value for the price. Located in a more tranquil part of town and not a lot of noise or traffic around you and very hospitable service. This space was great for me personally as I was transitioning between living spaces and it was a peaceful place for me to pause. Would recommend

United KingdomThe signage from the road could of been better
I stayed at La Plaita Hostal just around two weeks ago now prior to departing on a Liveaboard diving Holiday . The location of the hostel was a little difficult to find and could of had better signage , however I had saved the location on Google Maps prior to leaving for Mexico so with my mobile phones help I got there safely . My flight to Cabo was delayed by 5 hours and I kept the hostel informed , they immediately emailed me back and said there was no need to worry they'd be waiting for me . This was a great weight off my mind . The dorm that I was in had 2 bunk beds and a single bed all with privacy curtains and 2 lockable compartments , one for you back pack and one for your luggage . the facility was very clean as was the communal toilets / showers . With just a 15 mins walk to the Marina it was in an ideal place for me , I also walked into Cabo from the hostel which took around 30 mins . The Hostal also provided a clean towel and Free Internet . Very nice people a very clean and reasonable priced stay , I highly recommend you to stay here
