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...).

AustraliaThe hostel is not signed, and Google maps directed us to the wrong house. It's very confusing as each property is gated. We didn't receive clear instructions on how to access the property before we arrived. The shower was not great. We had 3 people in our group, and not everyone could shower each night due to poor water pressure. I tried on 2 occasions on the same day to have a shower without success. To add to this, only hot water was available, so the showers we did have were uncomfortably hot. Talking with staff this seemed normal... No air conditioning in the rooms either, however there was a fan.
Staff were friendly and polite. The room was clean and very quiet during the night, which was excellent. The location was perfect to get to all the main places around Oaxaca and had a great cafe around the corner. It felt very secure and in a safe part of the neighborhood. It was away from roads with lots of traffic.

United KingdomIt was very hot. In general, we think if you book in Oaxaca, it’s best to have AC.
We loved the location and the room size.

MexicoThe running water in the shower was not strong but it worked, so no complains really. The room floor could be updated sometimes in the future just because the rest is really nice and it feels clean and modern.
With my son we stayed 3 nights. The room was very clean, we loved the little kitchen with the terrace, the roof top option and the great location. The hotel/hostal doesn't have a 24h reception which was OK. Access is easy, and mostly we had no noise. When visiting the city it's a perfect stay. We loved the fact Boulenc bakery was just for a few minutes walk, so we could grab our breakfast and enjoy it on the hostal's terrace. The staff was helpful and flexible, and it was also an extra we could leave our suitcase at the reception area until leaving to the bus station several hours later after check out.

Georgia1. Toilet plumbing issues: after flushing, you have to wait around 10-15 minutes before you can use it again. If you travel alone it't not a bif issue but if there are 2 of you, it might be a problem. 2. Noise: the echo from the corridor and the street was really strong, making it hard to get a quiet moment. 3. No hairdryer in the rooms — only one shared among all guests, and if someone takes it and doesn’t return it, you're out of luck. The same issue applies to the iron, though at least it's used less frequently. The kitchen was also lacking in plates, and sometimes they were all taken, leaving nowhere to put food. 4. The hotel is outdated, it looks much older tha on the photos, it needs serious updates and has too many small inconveniences.
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful—the receptionist even arranged a taxi at a fair price. The bed was firm but comfortable, and the terrace with a view was a nice touch. The location is a bit away from the center but in a quiet area.

United StatesFortunately we arrived just before staff left for the day. Since we were on the bus prior to arriving, we did not get the message about the door code. I would suggest sending the code a day ahead of time. Be aware the hotel is five l-o-n-g blocks uphill from center.
The staff were superb. So helpful and friendly. Room was spare but adequate.

CanadaVery low water pressure; you have to plan your shower around the time everybody else tries to shower. Early morning or night works. You also have to be patient for the toilet tank to fill up.
Super clean, friendly helpful staff, great location, 5-10 min walk to Zoccalo

GermanyThe room was simple, but for the price absolutely ok. It could use air conditioning, as it gets really hot and the ventilation is not helping much. For Oaxaca it's in a surprisingly calm and quiet area. The staff was amazingly helpful and nice (Thank you Gustavo!). Also there was a little open kitchen, with potable water for free, which was really appreciated. I would stat there again.

CanadaIt was a heat wave when we were there and with only a fan, no a/c it was very warm. Our fan did not work as well as in our first room.
Having a shared kitchen with a large fridge, filtered water supply, coffee maker with outside seating area was great. The first morning the cold water in our shower did not work. The repair man came quickly but couldn't repair it and we were moved to another room within an hour. On a quiet street so noise was not an issue.
