How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room was very hot, and although it had air conditioning, you had to ask the staff to turn it on for you, and they would turn it off if it had been on too long. Also, it was very loud in the room, there must be a club or something next door as there was a speaker blasting dance music until 4/5am. The kitchen is very limited so you are basically unable to make any of your own food, it only had a microwave, and there was one bowl so cereal for breakfast was basically a no go. perhaps to encourage you to use their ‘restaurant’.
The hostel was in a good location, Miraflores. It feels much safer than the classic city centre. There is also something going on every evening, salsa lessons, pisco sours making, ping pong tournament so you will never be bored. They offer daily ‘free’ walking tours in different areas which is a great way to explore the city in a safe environment and meet other travellers. You will need small change for the bus and some money to tip your guide though.

The bunk beds could have had a pull curtain around each bed. This would aid privacy, of course, but it would also shut out some of the overhead light, if one went to bed earlier than the group. But then again, adding the curtain would stop some of the fan airflow, but at least having the curtain to pull would be the guest's option : )
Really liked the location. Price was great. Plenty of bathrooms and hot water. Staff super friendly. I liked that the big dorm room I stayed in was furthest away from the common room or reception. Lastly there wasn't AC but there was a big rotating fan that cooled well and drowned out the distant disco sounds.

Honestly there isn’t much to complain about. It’s quite loud if you’re into sleeping but I knew that beforehand so I was more than prepared to party a bit. The beds don’t have curtains / any block so everyone hang towels etc on their beds.
Many activities, good breakfast, lots of services such as towel rent or laundry. Tour guide helped me a lot with planning my trip to Peru as a whole since the situation in the country at the moment of my stay was a bit unstable. She gave me the latest news and tips for safe travelling.

We stayed in different rooms during our stay, in the first room the shower didn't have hot water and pressure was very bad. Our impression went much better when we changed rooms.
The hostel environment was very friendly and international. Loved the coworking area and the free tea in the common areas.
