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 KingdomWe had to wait to be let into the hostel (sometimes knocking and ringing for up to 5 minutes), which was super inconvenient especially at night when it was cold. There was only one mains port in our room which meant that we could only ever charge one device at a time.
Hostel is beautiful and very centrally located. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and professional! Beds are comfy and it's very clean. Amazing value for money at $13 per night for a private room with two double beds.

United StatesThe bathroom in the private didn't have good ventilation and the toilet wouldn't fully flush the entire stay. Would have liked some soap for washing my hands, too.
Staff member Ivan was a standout -- helpful and nice! Other staff had great food recommendations and were friendly. The private room (#1) was dark so I slept well. Was only there briefly, so can't comment on the kitchen / social scene etc.

SpainI know that is a place full of young travelers, I understood, but the rooftop always smells to weed and sometimes I had headache
The price vs you’re paying for is very good. It was mix bedroom with around 12 beds, however it didn’t feel crowded besides it was almost full. I paid 50 mxn for the breakfast, usually you pay for the same breakfast in Mexico City around 180-200 mxn. Staff was also cool.

ItalyThere are no lockers in the room, which I find very inconvenient. There are some in the reception area but they are very tiny and don’t even fit a computer, so if you have something valuable larger than that size you can only either leave it to the reception or take it with you all times. The shower was not working properly, it was very difficult to regulate to a temperature that was not either boiling hot or freezing cold. Be prepared to spend 10 minutes for that.
I stayed in the female dorm in the top terrace, the bed was very comfortable and the room seemed newly renovated. The area itself was very quiet at night but I was woken up every morning at 6am by firecrackers shot nearby (they are very common in San Cris). There is lots of common space in the hostel including a bar and a shared kitchen, overall it’s great value for money

AlbaniaThe kitchen sometimes was left a bit dirty and messy and the utensils were not the best, but it's still ok to cook something quick.
The cozy environment and chill vibes makes this hostel a very nice place to stay. The beds are comfortable enough to rest nicely and get ready for the next day. The volunteers were very helpful and friendly, especially Viviana 😉. They also offer tours for a very reasonable price.

United StatesThe kitchen has definitely seen better days (ants all over, generally quite dirty). Depending on the day, there were no forks, bowls, or spoons available - I think they had been taken to the staff kitchen, which is locked at night. Also no salt or oil, which we had to buy ourselves. The private rooms all have windows into a hallway with essentially no sound insulation. We got woken up pretty much every night by other guests, and there didn't seem to be any quiet hours enforced. Both towels and sheets had holes in them. No soap provided in the bathroom.
The wi-fi was excellent and I was able to take video meetings with no problems. The location is good, close to center but no noise from the street/neighbors at night. The whole space is covered in beautiful murals.

United KingdomWe asked for a quiet room and were put opposite the shared toilets with metal bolts. It was not a quiet hostel and the kitchen facilities were very poor. No microwave, very few pots, cups all plastic. Limited agua purificada. When it was empty after 8 it was not supplied again until the morning. Very little cutlery. The bathroom was tiny and difficult to move around in.
The staff were nice and helpful, and the location was good. Nice and central.
