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.).

United KingdomIt’s not a bungalow as far as I’m concerned. It’s an apartment with a kitchenette. The room was boiling hot and the ceiling fan did nothing. I asked for an electric fan which they happily provided me. It helped a bit but was super noisy. Also, there were no curtains over the back door so a lot of light came in, in the morning. Sadly I didn’t sleep at all well because of the heat/light. The location is uphill from town so just be aware of that. I would have liked a kettle on the room.
The staff were great and the beds/bedding was amazing. I loved the washing line out the back.

SwitzerlandDefinitely didn’t seem like a hostel where you meet other travelers.
Cute and very clean little hostel. Friendly staff members. I felt safe as there was always someone around at the reception when I stayed there. And it was very quiet (I barely even saw other guests). The neighborhood is within walking distance of the main points of interest in town.

Lovely little property with very friendly staff. Simple but everything we needed and a good shower and mattress. Felt very safe, got good recommendations from the staff, lovely little puppy trotting around, great views from the roof, short walk from the centre and the white tent on top of the hill.

United StatesI had a great stay at Yabanhi Hostel. Victor was especially helpful, the information about Oaxaca that I got from him was valuable, I used his recommendations to plan many of my days. The room was comfortable, clean and centrally located, and the rooftop patio is perfect for viewing the city, sunrises and sunsets.

AustraliaThe hostel was very clean and quiet (which is quite nice given other places we have stayed in Mexico). The hostel is a short walk from the main Zocalo, approx. 10 - 15 minutes (depending how fast / slow you walk). The room was spacious and comfortable. There was a fan but no air conditioner. The position of the light and the fan created a bit of a disco vibe in the room. The bathroom was clean but there was not a lot of storage for toiletries. There was a clothesline to hang clothes located in the shower. The staff were very friendly and communicated well prior to our stay letting us know when our room was ready. Staff were also able to arrange a taxi back to the airport for us instead of the shuttle (which more expensive). The rooftop was nice and had a great view of Oaxaca.

GermanyThe rooftop is just mind blowing and for myself I like when the hostel is not in the most crowded areas, you can easily reach everything within 5mins walking distance. Everything was super clean and well situated. The personal is also super helpful and focused on service! Will definitely come back!

United KingdomThe room was getting really stuffy during the day. I wish there was a better ventilation. Sadly, there weren't shared showers in the hostel, which would have been really helpul for a late departure from the city.
The room was great, spacious and clean with a great kitchen area. The staff were really nice. The terrace was outstanding and it's worth being located a bit further away from the centre in exchange for the view.

United KingdomThe only negatives where that there was no air-con. Only a fan. Which the cleaning team kept turning off during the day, meaning that when we returned after a days activities, the room was very hot again, and the bed was a bit small. I move a lot in my sleep especially when it is warm, so this was annoying for my partner.
The accommodation is amazing with a great roof terrace perfect for morning yoga and a coffee with views. We loved the location too, slightly out of town means that it is quiet at night and peaceful in the morning. It literally a 10 minute stroll into the busy part of town.
