Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

everything as stated above
The staff were so rude to us from the moment we got to the premises. We asked to put our bags in the room and they refused, not letting us even see the room until we had paid the bill?! This is after the 25 minute walk from the Airport with our heavy bags as they no longer provide a transfer, along some very sketchy and busy roads. They describe the area as safe and yet have a near armoured door to the premises with a drilled out flap to see who wants to enter, they sure are not taking any chances. We had a long drawn out conversation with the management, where we explained we just wanted to look at the rooms, put our heavy bags down and it would be a lot easier to access our passports and money which were buried. The answer was (with a smirk) this was not company policy. Honestly how ridiculous, I’m in a small rundown hostel on the outskirts of Lima and the manger wants to talk to me about policy as if they a corporate machine. Have a word with yourself. We then paid as we had no other option, were shoved in our room to realise that the shower was what is known as a ‘suicide shower’ … I haven’t seen one of these since travelling in Belize and Guatemala. And have been travelling Ecuador and Peru for the last 4 weeks. It’s basically an electrical shower where the connection is made of at the head of the shower and the connections are exposed usually covered with tape, as was the case at Paypurix. Known as a suicide shower amongst travellers as you take your life in your own hands when getting in one. Added to this the Circuit Breaker for it is located within arms reach of the shower, it is only an MCB Breaker and does not have an RCD meaning there is no protection against electrical shock (I am an Electrician in the UK) Added to this someone has broken the housing of the miniature board and there is a large crack exposing the breaker, bus bar etc. Hardly ideal,less than a metre from a shower!!!

The blanket. It's too thin
It was the best value for money. It's a hostel. The guy at the reception was very helpful and spoke good English and helped me to get a taxi in the morning

Super friendly staff as always. My plane was delayed and they moved my reservation by one night with no problem. I've stayed here numerous times and will come back as this is a great option close to the airport.

It was cold, but that's a complaint about the local climate and the season, not the hostel. He's doing great ))
This is a real hostel - as it should be. Free, friendly, caring, unobtrusive. Awesome place, mostly thanks to the host.

Nothing really, just remember this is an airport hostel so wouldn't recommend if you're staying in Lima for more than a few days/don't need the airport
Paypurix has just reopened this week after closure due to COVID. Here are my pillars of a good hostel and how this place stacks up: Cleanliness - No issues Temperature - Warm place Hot Water - Requires some adjustment but nice hot water once you figure out the controls, the same in many places in Peru Hosts - Kind helpful host, currently only one staff member running the place but very helpful WiFi - Strong connection Location - 20 minutes walk from the airport, I used it asi had an early morning flight, for me it was a relatively safe walk but it is very quiet so please make your own assessment outside daylight hours Managed to take a combi from nearby to Miraflores for S/4 each way, does take a bit longer than a taxi Amenities - Towel S/4 for the stay, lots of games (pool tables etc which I didn't get the time to use) Value - For the price paid great value for money paid, was relatively empty as it has just reopened
