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 stayed in a private room and it was lovely - it was really nice and clean and the heat actually wasnt too much of a problem as the fan was facing right over the bed. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Ther e is a smaller quieter beach about a 20 min walk away with some shops and restaurants.

GermanyHostel Tower Bridge was a good choice to stay at, we wanted to avoid the noice from Party area La Punta. Nice Beaches are walkable e. g. Playa Coral. Public Transport to La Punta and Playa Zicatela for 20 Pesos. Coffee and breakfast and beer in the evening for reasonable prices. The staff was always very nice and we had a very nice stay. The Tower room was beautiful!

AustraliaThe toilet of the private room was a bit smelly. Sometimes it is a bit noisy in the evening but at 12 there is silence! The location is not amazing, a bit isolated, 25 mins walk for the center and 25 min taxi from the touristic area (la punta). But the mercado where you can take the collectivos is 10 min walking and within 20 min walking you can also reach the beaches on that side which are very nice :)
The hostel setting is nice, a lot of plants, a clean pool and common areas. I also liked it that has multiple levels and there is a terrace upstairs to dry clothes or to use as a free space. The staff is helpful. Plus they serve breakfast for 120 but it is waffles and eggs, fruit and bread all you can eat (it can fill you up for the whole day!). Rooms are simple but clean! They help you organizing your excursions and also organize events in the hostel!

MexicoA group of guys that were volunteering there were noisy and obnoxious and also they were talking horribly about women. The kitchen was locked (every drawer) until someone would unlock each drawer and you needed to ask them to turn on thw gas stove each time if you wanted to use it, which was annoying.
Nice pool and hammocks, it has pretty much everything you might need

United StatesLook, this is a pretty basic hostal. No a/c in dorms, no hot water in the showers. It's pretty damn hot, so only one of those is really needed. I didn't mind it, but if you need air conditioning or hot water, consider a different place.
Great atmosphere and wonderful people! Overall, it's really good backpackers/party hostal. I really enjoyed my time here and would happily come back. The pool is really nice and the common areas are super great. I like the location, it's close to some really good beaches and not too far from downtown.

SwitzerlandSuper nice hostel, exactly what you are looking for if you are a solo traveler (or a group of friends). I went to puerto escondido to take surf lessons and the surf school the hostel recommends is amazing. Everyone working at tower bridge is super nice and welcoming and every night, there is an acivity (beer pong, uno night, foosball tournament) so you will get to know people fast. There are many nice spots to eat around as well. The nearest (and best in my opinion) beach (carrizalillo) is about a 15 - 20 min walk away, this beach is not as touristy and many locals go there to surf and relax. Facilities and cleanliness are good. I would definitely recommend this place and would/will go back there for sure.

SpainNo AC, i'm not a big fan of AC but some rooms really need it, it can be very warm and humid in PE and the fan is not enough to freshen up the room. We came back a week after our stay and we had a warm room and we were sweating directly after taking a cold shower even though the room had a vent to take out the warm air.
A little jungle in the middle of the city. The swimming pool is perfect for the warm days in Puerto Escondido. The kitchen is big. Perfect to prepare your meals. A lot of tables to eat or work from. The wifi is reliable. The atmosphere is relaxed. The owner is very nice with good tips, and the staff very friendly. We came back after our stay. The location is good if you want to stay in this area. However I would recommend renting out a scooter to move around, the taxis are quite pricy and always trying to rip you off.

SloveniaThe staff gave us so many wrong advices. We asked them about good street food - they said they dont have that in Puerto Escondido. We booked a tour through them - it was horrible. We asked about buses to Oaxaca - they send us to the wrong bus station. But they did help out and spoke english!
The room was nice, but the pool/bar area was amazing! The hammocks next to the pool were very relaxing. The vibe was very chill and the kitchen was cute. We had a problem with the toilet not flushing and they fixed it in less than 30 minutes, right away! Overall, one of the best stays in mexico.
