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.).

NetherlandsI had an incredible stay; it was very clean, comfortable, and easily accessible. Moreover, it has a balcony with a fantastic view of the city. The staff were friendly and provided a warm welcome. Additionally, the quality of the food and drinks was outstanding. Highly recommended ☺️

AustraliaWe only stayed a night but had nice spacious, clean, comfortable room. Shared bathrooms were very clean. Rooftop had great views of the city. Great location close to Centro histórico. We didn't get a chance to embrace the community side of the hostal but would encourage others to stay a couple of nights if they can to enjoy that side.

AustraliaLocation isn’t great but Uber around the city is cheap. It’s a 20min walk to the main plaza and churches.
4 bed dorm was comfortable (I was the only person!) and with plenty of storage space. Daily activities on the rooftop with a beautiful view of the city, and good food there. Staff are super friendly. I highly recommend taking their walking tour, it was very interesting and informative.

ChinaNot that much.
I Like the roof top bar and reception. The view there is terrific with whole ancient Quito in one eye. The host team are very welcoming. They actively approached us for a dinner (charged with a nice price) before our landing. You know this is so great for new comers to a youth hostel. We do not need to shop around for no idea but great food already served to us with opportunity to talk to other people around. The shared kitchen there offers enough cooking utensils which make our life much easier. The location is also very convenient. Just several steps you can reach vegetables, matches, locks and fruits. You can jump into the crowded town but step back you return to a quiet room to stay.

GermanyTwo negative points: I had to wake up very early (around 2.30 AM)!because of my flight in the morning, so I tried to sleep early but it was almost impossible because of the noise from the roof top. They stop music at some point but sleeping before is not possible (even with earplugs :D)… other point: I asked for recommendations in Galapagos and they wanted me to send a what’s app with information. Unfortunately I never received a message.
First of all: the name of the hostel is really true. They are kind of a community and every evening is a nice event - many people from around are joining which makes a nice atmosphere. Also they give lots of helpful informations about the area or trips in Ecuador… the free walking tour was great, the trip to the middle of the world as well. Both I can recommend. Always felt safe in the hostel. The food was VERY good and much cheaper than in restaurants or other hostels :) the dorm was good with a quite big locker for my big backpack. Double points to the pick up and drop off service which is the same price you pay with Uber - but the driver was super nice!

GermanyFree towels, kitchen with fridge, microwave, free tea. NO free coffee but since there is a kitchen its all good :) Staff is super friendly, lots of activities. And the best thing: they have big, proper bathrooms! It’s a rather calm place, definitely the best hostel I stayed in so far. Super clean, well maintained, good Wi-Fi, fair prices, the central food market is right nearby for cheap but great breakfast and lunch! Great time and I will come back for sure once I’m back in Quito!

GermanyThat's the one and only hostel for Quito! Staff is so nice and helpful, the beds are really comfy and the view from the terrace is magnificent. There's also a restaurant and bar and lots of activities for guests, but it's always quiet in the sleeping areas and that I appreciated. Was an amazing stay!!!

AustraliaCouldn't really figure out the showers so often had to have cold ones. Also quiet hours don't start until 11pm so it's noisy if you're trying to get an early night - ear plugs helped though.
Great location, staff and food. The dinners are a great way to meet other people if solo travelling. The rooftop is great!

United Statesit’s true that the location in the historic center of Quito is sketchy, but the hostel itself is very safe.
There are too many positives to mention, but I’ll say a few. very clean and well-run. staff were friendly and helpful. I felt included and was able to meet a lot of people. the shared spaces were outstanding and events were fun. the breakfast and dinner meals were very tasty. the guacamole toast was one of the best tasting things I’ve ever eaten. it was safe and secure as well. my tour to Mindo was organized by the hostel and I enjoyed it immensely. I’ve stayed in many hostels before, and this one was one of the best. it was easy to meet people and feel comfortable. the rooftop terrace has stunning views.
