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.).

CanadaIt's a small hostel about 15 minutes walk from the centre of town but close to the start of the India Dormida hike. A nice breakfast cooked fresh of eggs, toast and fruit. The bed in our room was really comfortable.

AustraliaGreat location close to the hike La India Dormida, very friendly host and nice breakfast (pancakes, scrambled eggs and fruit) To use the hot shower here is the tip. On top of the shower head move the switch to the black dot. But then the most important part. Don't open the tap all the way!! The water won't get warm because it's going to fast through the shower head. So open it just a little bit. The less water comes out the hotter it gets. And here you go...you will enjoy a nice warm shower :) For the price it's a comfortable room but don't expect luxury. The room is not sound proof so bring earplugs for a good sleep. The kitchen is great and free to use

GermanyThe location is a bit out of town, but next to the starting point of the famous trail. And it was quite. The room was big and we had a Moskito net at the window and the breakfast in the morning was really good. The owner could help us with getting the right bus and with the hikes. We had a lovely stay.

United StatesA little far away from restaurants, the bus station and “town.” Staff isn’t there most of the day. Shared bathroom can be a bit annoying if other rooms are full.
Small hostel with only four rooms, all a decent size. WiFi worked well, shower was hot. Quiet street and close to certain hikes. Breakfast included was simple but filling and a nice perk.

PanamaThe fan in the room is noisy, so you have to choose to ignore it or turn it off and deal with the room being a bit stuffy. Not too hot though, so it’s not a huge inconvenience. Showers are just cold water, so hop in right after your hike!
Breakfast was lovely, location was good. Very close to the start of La India Dormida, and a short walk to the street with most of the restaurants. Nice hammock spot to sit and relax too!

SwitzerlandIf the hostel is full, the fridge is too small. Furthermore one shelf is used by the hostel. The owner should write a note " please ring the bell next house if nobody's there" for the welcoming or further informations about the lodge.
Very calm location, super clean. Different breakfast every day. No music. Few rooms and a kitchen. Many thanks to Joaquin!
