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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyI'm only a very light sleeper and so it was generally a bit too loud in the rooms for me, but that's a matter of type
The guy at the reception (Alan) is a really nice, friendly and helpfllul guy. He has also a good taste of music and plays chilled songs, which made the vibes in the big entrance room just perfect. I enjoyed the stay in the folk hostel from the first minute and the exchange with Alan was delightful. The breakfast is awesome and you can put your privat beverage and food into a public fridge marking it with your name - nice way to offer a cold place ;) I would definately come back to this place again - Cheers!

PortugalNot as close to the city centre, in a dirt road, but right next to the bus station which can be a plus.

United KingdomVery good breakfast and plenty of it! It started early which allowed for any early buses or tours people were getting. It is also located just a 5 minute walk from the bus terminal and a 5 minute walk from the main street which was helpful. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Well equipped kitchen. Baggage storage for when you have a later bus. Good value for money relative to other El Calafate accommodation.

AustraliaThe breakfast was lackluster - only bread and sweet spread and basic cereal. One of the reception staff was really friendly and smiley always while the other appeared to be stoic and was giving off unwelcoming vibe.
It’s super clean. Location is near the bus terminal and about 10-15 mins walk to town centre.

Czech RepublicUntil 12 pm it’s little bit noisy but I guess all hostels are like that :)
Nice and clean hostel, the staff is amazing, the location is perfect because it is 5 minutes walking from the bus station. The breakfast is served at 6.30 which is amazing considering many buses for excursions leave early in the morning, however, it could be a bit richer.

BrazilRight next to the bus station, great option if you are arriving late at El Calafate, but its also a little bit far (10 minute walk) from all the main restaurants, stores, etc. I dont mind the walk, so it was perfect. Good breakfast and installations. Room was big enough, with enough power sockets, lockers and comfortable beds. I was there for 2 nights, both of them were quiet, just what I needed after staying for 3 weeks at crowded hostels.

JapanThere is only one receptionist, so it takes a long time during busy check-in and check-out times.
Conveniently located on the way from the bus terminal to downtown. Perfect location for backpackers! Breakfast was simple but provided a wide variety of ingredients. There are plenty of shower booths and toilets, so you can use them anytime. Of course they are clean.
