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.).

Lovely hostel right by the beautiful Carizalillo Beach, the staff was really friendly and the other guests too. Our room was spacious. We had a good time here :)

AustriaWhen I was there there was party every night with loud music until morning by staff and their guests. All dorm rooms are only separated by a reef wall which is not closing up to ceiling. In my case the guy next door decided to listen and prolly fall asleep to deep house all night - which had the volume of same room but was next room so no way to intervene without intruding or screaming. Cooking hardly possible as only 1 out of 4 fire places worked and u don't wanna occupy it for long. Showers and toilets very basic and not cleaned often enough.
The location. Right at carrizalillo beach and a short stroll to puerto angelito and Manzanillo. Location itself is very peaceful with beautiful view. This is what u pay for and I think it is worth the price.

AustraliaThe rooms are don't have AC, so it's really hot. The mattresses are super thin so quite uncomfortable. There's no hot water, not that you need it.
Great Location, just at the top of a lovely beach! The Staff was great, they let us checkin early and leave our bags after checkout! The bar at the place has really good prices. Good Value for money

CanadaThe bed was comfortable but I could see through the walls between the men and women's dorms. The staff smoked marijuana a lot in the dorm beside me and I would wake up to the smell at night and very early morning and would cover my face with a sheet.The vibe was a bit off for me as a solo traveler and not very inviting. The kitchen was small and awkward to be in with others. The beds had many cobwebs everywhere. The lady that cleaned seemed very unhappy. It was very close to the beach and the main strip in Rinconada as a plus. I definitely wouldn't stay again. I don't usually write reviews but this was a no for me.

GermanyThey just put no effort in anything. In the kitchen there was a big mess and no space to cook, basically not usable. The room only had one plug for 6 people. It didn't have a bathroom like promised. When I mentioned that to the staff they didn't care at all. It was very dark. The mattress I had needs to be changed, I could feel every single piece of metal in it. The hammocks have big holes. There's no bottled water for the guests. I don't need much, but if you wanna stay here u have to give up basically everything. Oh and it's also not barrier-free, another false advertisement. So they actually lie about these points here.
The view and the position over the beach is just amazing. U can swim or go to a quiet stone beach. From the garden of the hostel u can see and hear the waves.

CanadaThe kitchen was so dirty I didn't want to prepare anything. The music was very loud throughout the day. You cannot pay by card. They don't give soap or towels, you have to buy this yourself.
It had a wonderful view of Playa Carrizalillos, just steps away from the beach. The cabin was spacious. Internet was quite good, I was able to do work online.

New ZealandThe walls are thin, to the point you can see your neighbours through them. If you’re looking for a quite place to rest, this isn’t for you. The main area is right in the centre, meaning you can hear EVERYTHING, music, conversations etc. They don’t have drinking water available, you either have to bring your own water or purchase from the bar. Showers are cold (not a major in the heat but still?)
The most redeeming quality is the fact it’s situated on a cliff with an incredible view. Beyond this, it doesn’t provide much else.

ItalyThe hostel is simple and connected with the surrounding nature. There is no artificial swimming pool, but your swimming pool will be Playa Carrizalillo, which is literally downstairs, in just 2 minutes you'll be in the water, you don't even need to put your clothes or flipflops on. Super recommend, on of the best spot in Puerto Escondido.

BelgiumNo mosquito net over the bed, we had super small insects falling on our face from the room all night. In addition, the staff was partying in the common areas 10m from our bungalow (which is semi open so we hear everything) until 2.00 am. We slept super bad. Kitchen was super dirty. Shower had very low pressure.
Super nice bungalow just above a very nice beach. Kitchen and common areas with views of the sea.

United KingdomIt didn't feel clean and there were no hand towels at the sink. Dormitory room doors didn't close so you couldn't leave anything valuable in them. Not enough power points for all guests to charge items. The fan in my dorm was old and rusty and you wouldn't benefit from it if you were on the top bunk.
Proximity to the beach is nice. Its a relaxed place with a great view of the sea. Beds were comfortable. WiFi was strong (rare for México in my experience). Drinks and snacks were a really good price. The bar team were very friendly.

People who work there are great, helpful and charming. Spend hours of our stay with them and they made our time at the hostel so amazing that we didnt want to leave and still miss this place. They all do a Great Job, especially Nacho, who is a person that makes you want to stay forever!
