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 KingdomBunk beds lacked any support from falling out, which always gives me an uncomfortable night's sleep. No kitchen to use, but then again, it's not as if huacachina has anything like a supermarket in the village. Everything else was fine.
Very affordable dorm room. Staff not very friendly, but didn't cause a fuss

CanadaDorms are pretty basic and dont really offer privacy. Not all beds can access power outlets. Lockers are small and some of the locks don't engage / are broken
Fair price for Huaccachina which is extremely touristic.

FinlandThe room was really dark, you couldn’t open the curtains because the window was next to the busy street on the first floor. You also couldn’t open the window because otherwise the sand would have gotten inside. The room was a bit noise because of the busy road.
The location is great, middle of everything in small town. Same building or next building has a great rooftop bar/restaurant where the food was good, drinks were tasty and you got 10% discount there. In the room we had two big beds and two armchairs and the bathroom was huge.

El SalvadorThe reception was not super friendly. Also, they allow two ppl per bunk so you might be sleeping in a dorm of 6 beds with 8 ppl.
I like that it is right in Huacachina next to the water. It is also one of the most affordable hostals in Huacachina. The cleaning ladies were super nice. Enjoyed the numerous showers and toilets inside the bathroom.

BelgiumStaff were one of the most unfriendly/uninterested I’ve met in a hostel. Rooms were very basic and could be improved with curtains, separate power-plugs and bedlights etc.
Good value and overall cheaper than most accommodations. Nice patio in the middle to rest. Good location close to the dunes. Cooperates with bar/restaurant next to it with a discount.
