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.).

United KingdomSometimes it can be noisy at night being close to busy side roads. If you're a light sleeper, earplugs would be beneficial.
Great location in Cabo San Lucas and close to good food. Affordable private rooms if you want some space. They offer free breakfast every morning from 8am which is a great additional service (although I missed it due to leaving early for diving). The property is cleaned thoroughly each day, which is important in communal shared spaces like bathrooms.

United KingdomAwesome staff and breakfast! Well equipped kitchen and spacious, comfy communal areas. The TV has Netflix which was a bonus. I stayed for 2 weeks and had a really nice stay, it felt like home. Its quite expensive compared to hostels in other cities, but its good value for Cabo. As the kitchen is so good, you can save money on meals if you need to. There's usually someone around to hang out with, but its also a really good place to stay if you need to do your own thing. I was studying a lot, and it was a perfect for that. Thanks so much Mani and Carlos, see you again I hope! :)

United StatesThe outside noise was kind of loud but I guess that's to be expected in a hostel so it didn't bother me too much.
The location was good and I could walk everywhere. I thought it was an excellent location especially for the price. It was really good value. The bed was comfy, the facilities were nice, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

CanadaThe bathroom floor was soaking wet and dirty but solved that by just wearing shoes the whole time. Would have liked it if there was more than one bathroom for the whole hostel.

United StatesIt is about a 10 minute walk to get to the Malecon, but it’s okay because that means its closer to better priced food.
We had a great time at Sofia! Mani was incredibly helpful and taught us how to use the local bus system. He speaks very good English and is quick to help you with anything you may need/want. Breakfast is very yummy and the overall atmosphere of the hostel is very laid back and safe. We tried a different hostel for a night and came back because Mani was so nice and helpful.

CanadaMy bed in particular was a very thin cot bed. Having a thicker mattress would improve sleep quality. Note: this was just my mattress in the shared room, as others seemed thicker.
Each staff member is incredibly nice, multiple languages spoken, very clean (staff are constantly cleaning), lots of kitchen utensils if you need to cook.

The hostel was very clean. I stayed in a double room which was large with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage. Bathroom was right next door. Mani was very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Was a 15 minute walk to marina and 5 minute walk to restaurants and bars. Was also an Oxxo right a Ross the street for anything you needed. Highly recommend staying here.
