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.).

PeruIt would be better if the shower have the sign for hot and cold water. Sometimes the tv turn on and couldn't turn it off.
The staff there is very nice and helpful. They always help you with the information that you need and some advice. The room was clean and very valuable for the price. High recommendation.

United KingdomThe pods aren't actually soundproof as I discovered so you cannot be taking personal calls, playing videos etc in these without disturbing others in the room - the doors have slight gaps which I feel defeats the point a bit. The bathrooms need soap.
First time trying a pod hostel and really liked them, really feels like you have your own space - plugs, TV, headphones, everything you need and can keep things outside in lockers. The pods close manually so you don't feel claustrophobic. Wifi worked fine. Breakfast included all for $7 with booking discount is insane value for money.

FranceRead the comments about the noise from the disco next door. While it's true you hear the music from the lobby, it is very mild from the room/capsule and didn't prevent me to sleep properly. Ended up extending my stay my a few more days!
Great experience at the Capsule hostel. First time and would totally recommend: great staff, location, clean, comfortable... I usually don't stay or sleep well in a 12-people dorm but with the capsules: no issue. Also had a comfy 2 hours nap on an afternoon, which is hard in conventional dorms (noise, light...). Breakfast is above average too.

United KingdomBathrooms missing facilities but staff replaced them when told!
Really great hostel if you have an early morning arrival to La Paz and desperately need a bed before the standard 1-2pm check in, if there is availability you pay a little extra to check in early (you can also pay for late checkout too) but you get your own pod of privacy. They also have a short nap offer so is a good pitstop. They also give you free breakfast so highly recommend for backpackers on the go. Lady on the front desk spoke excellent english and is very friendly and helpful, always smiling. Other staff helpful too!. Respectfully quiet and not very social place.

Brazileven though the bathrooms were cleaned daily, due to the amount of people in the room it was still a bit clumsy. the capsules could also be cleaned a bit more often.
staff was great, always ready to answer any and all questions i had. breakfast (bread, yogurt, cereal, butter, jam, coffee, a selection of tea and cocoa, banana and once there was pineapple juice too) included in the price, for an extra bs.5 you could also add an egg (fried or scrambled). the capsules are somewhat soundproof, inside them you can find a universal socket, two usb ports, individual ventilation system, a tv and two headphones jacks. it's super comfy, would definitely stay there again. also, there's a fully equipped kitchen if you'd rather cook than eat out (extra convenient for sundays when everything closes early). i was a bit worried about the wifi since the reviews on booking.com were a bit ambiguous, but i assure you there's nothing to worry about. the wifi never let me hanging!

PhilippinesNeeds to be cleaned a litle bit more to maintain total cleanliness : the edges of the sliding doors, the charging ports & light switches,
Doors enclose the beds gives you privacy. You also have your own charging port & light inside your capsule. You can leave your stuff charging without worrying about security nor having to share the charging ports with others.You can stay up late with lights on, without others being bothered by your light. It's like having your own room within a shared room. It's value for money, with good simple breakfast. Quiet common area at the dining area. Very clean kitchen w/ clean utensils, plates,cups. Someone prepares breakfast per tray & washes your dishes. Ms. Dani at the front desk is so friendly & helpful. Located in the city center, w/ lots of stires around.

United StatesI loved everything the only thing is when I tried to leave at 4am for my early flight the door was locked with chain and the staff didn’t have the key and waited for 5 mins for someone from the club to get it open , lucky my driver still waiting for me.
I arrived early from the airport at 9am and the lady at the front desk was super sweet that allows me to check in early without a charge, then I came back one day later to book with them again and I stayed there total 3 nights, the hostel is very clean and in safe convenient locations, staffs were all amazing and helpful, thanks again for all the help and early check in . I had an amazing 3 nights stay

Spaintoo noisy, the disco next to it is going on all night and even closed in the room and in the capsule you can hear everything. also the place could put more effort in creating good common spaces. Nobody would ever stop and relax in such an empty and aseptic place, it's a shame because the place has got some potential. Also, the bathroom in my room was always flooded, and I read this complaint many times already, the owners could do something about it, but it looks like a bit abandoned, like they don't care, and it's a shame
the capsules are nice and cosy, you feel like you have your own room; the position is nice, on the main street, close to everything, and the price is very competitive. people at the reception and in the kitchen are very nice.

United StatesNoise from the next door disco but I could sleep with no problem using earplugs. The bathroom doesn't have a window and gives a not refreshing smell that spreads in the room. The bathroom floor is always wet probably because it doesn't have a doormat. No shampoo in the bathroom. Capsule2 Wifi network is quite spotty.
Super kind receptionists especially Dani, the most compassionate receptionist I've ever met. The capsules are quite comfortable and give privacy similar to semi-private rooms. Breakfast is good too

United StatesThere is some kind of dance club either in the same building or next to it, and the music is so loud that you can hear it muffled through the walls until fairly late. However, the hostel can't control this. It wasn't so bad that we couldn't sleep, but maybe some people would be bothered.
The property is centrally located, with grocery stores and markets all around, restaurants and tourist attractions. The staff were friendly, everything is very clean and well taken care of. The rooms are spacious, the capsule beds are comfortable. The free breakfast is excellent.

The capsule is an awesome idea! It's clean, comfy and it even has a TV and aircon!! It's not sound proof but it gives you enough privacy that you can really detach from the outside world if you feel to. Hot shower at all times in the shared bathroom and very good location at a very good price.
