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 StatesNot much stuff to do in the hostel itself, but it’s not like I went to Cusco to stay at a hostel.
The way the beds were set up allowed for a good amount of privacy. The showers and toilets being separate also makes it so the toilets aren’t blocked off while someone is washing. It is also close enough to the center of town to get there in a few minutes but not so close traffic is a bother. Also love the dog.

CanadaI've stayed here multiple times since 2017, and everytime I come, it always gets better. Clean, comfy, great staff and management. The kitchen has what you need and is kept clean. Wifi works great. I also stayed in one of the private rooms this trip, it's better than pretty any hotel room you can get in the area at a wicked price

United KingdomNothing negative about the stay - everything was amazing :)
The hostel is in a perfect location, close to the city centre and only a 10 minute walk from the San Blas neighbourhood. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The beds were super comfy and the dorm was always kept clean. The bathrooms were also kept clean and tidy and there was always hot water in the showers. The lounge area was super comfy and a great place to chill or play games. There is complimentary tea/coffee, cereal and bread in the kitchen which was great. The reception isn’t 24 hour but they give you a key to the property so you can get in at all hours. They also have a really lovely friendly dog :)

United KingdomThere's nothing really negative to add. I just would like to have spent more time as this hostel was far better than where we stayed on other parts of our trip.... I'm looking at you, Puerto Maldonado!!!!
The hostel is located very close to the main square and is an ideal base in Cusco, as well as being very convenient for trips departing from here, particularly as taxis can stop right outside and collect you if pre-ordered. The hostel itself is lovely, with common area walls decorated in flowers and large murals of the dog namesake which give it a really gentle and welcoming feel. Kitchen has all the essentials, including coffee, coca tea leaves and so on, which was very cool. In terms of vibe, this is a calming, relaxed place, and you can really feel it upon arriving, which is really welcome after several hard days trekking to Machu Picchu, for example!!! The owner's dog Shajor is really friendly too which I love as a dog person! I also thought the pod beds were really nice touch as they provide more privacy than the usual dorm setup, really cool that they include a power socket and interior light inside them too - lifesaver! Overall, it was just a great experience with excellent attention to detail. It really feels like the owner cares about giving a great experience to the guests, which we appreciated a lot. Will be back!
