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...).

Did not respond to any of our messages or emails prior to arrival. Stairs up to rooms would not suit those with health issues. Cold shower first morning at 5am - although it was fine from then on in.
Basic clean accommodation. Good location close to train station with many shops/restaurants close by. Offered Luggage Storage after check-out (while we went back up to Machu Picchu).

- • Family with young children
- • Family Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
Our room was by the street window overlooking a football park and the street has all commercial activity, and the noise can be heard in the room but it stops late at night. No elevator but you shouldn't bring too much for the Machu Picchu trip anyway. The whole town is filled with activity so just appreciate the vibrant bustling energy of the town. Main streets to hotel were steep but manageable, so its harder uphill and easier downhill to the bus stops and Peru Rail.
This is an economy no frills lodging just to make sure we had an early start going to Machu Picchu, and conserve our energy. So we took one of the last trains to Machu Pichu station from Cusco center to spend the night in this hotel. There was staff early in the morning that stored our luggage and do our early check out. The walk to the bus stop and PeruRail was okay and not far. Room and bathroom was spacious, hot water was good. Near restaurants, shops, and convenience stores. The area is off the touristy zone so you will experience more of the normal living of the locals/neighborhood.

The town is very loud, even until late. Fanfare music was playing basically all the time. The good thing is that there was a small patio which means 2 doors that can close. This made it manageable, but you couldn't then open the window to let some colder air in.
The rooms were spaceous enough. The beds were very comfortable. The showers worked great too. Everything looked clean.
