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.).

GermanyThis hostel is a 15 min walk away from Huacachina in a quiet neighborhood in Ica. It has really clean rooms with super comfy beds. A nice common space around the pool. Clean kitchen with a fresh sponge (a rare sight in hostels).

SloveniaEverything was ok.
The location is perfect - short distance from the desert, but on a quiet location. The pool is perfect - clean and warm enough. Parking is at the entrance. Food was good. The room was spatious, beds were comfortable. Good price for a good performance. Perfect for families or couples.

United KingdomI chose this hotel as it was near The Peru Hop bus drop off. Its a lovely family friendly hotel. It is clean and tidy but I wouldn't say luxury. We paid extra for our breakfast which was all fine - they kindly gave me extra avocado as a gluten free option. The pool was a great bonus. The fan in our room was much appreciated too.

United KingdomAlthough their name is desert house, it’s in the middle of the dunes. So the name is a bit misleading. Everytime we come to the hotel, we waited for 5 mins so someone opens the door. I had to message them on whatsapp.
It’s clean, comfortable, good value for money hostel. Staff are friendly and fair. Wifi is good enough even on the second floor. Location is good not the best, you can walk to the oasis or you can take tuktuk for 4-5 soles each.

United KingdomWhen we were there (dec 23) there was building work next door during weekdays which was very noisy during the day.
We had the most fabulous host at this oasis at the oasis. Katy was excellent feeding us and serving us the best cocktails by the magnificent pool. The whole place including the rooms is absolutely spotless and cleaned non stop. Breakfast and lunch options are few but affordable and delicious. The rooms are huge with fan, strong WiFi, TV and shower. There’s a gym and additional poolside showers to freshen up after check out. Grab a 5 soles tuktuk to Huacachina. Drive takes 3 minutes.

The staff were so lovely, especially Cati - so welcoming and helpful. Bed was comfortable & good amount of space. Clean, and staff changed our towels. Place is in between Ica & Huacachina, we could walk to some nearby shops, or moto was cheap to Ica.

United StatesWe booked a second buggy tour after enjoying our first and the driver was an hour late. When we decided to take ourselves to the meet up point at the oasis, no one was there waiting for us, so we had to book a buggy ourselves and it was no where as good as the first tour.
The location was excellent - not inside the oasis or close to all the noise on the party street, so it was quiet, but close enough to walk 15 minutes or take a cheap tuk tuk. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The place itself was much nicer than the pictures show it to be. Good drinks by the pool at a great price.

It was nice and quiet, a small little oasis close to the bigger oasis. A tuktuk there is 5 soles and easy to get. Cati is a gem and absolutely lovely, organizing the buggy ride for us. Super kind lady who has made our stay perfect. The rooms are basic but absolutely fine for the one night we stayed. Breakfast is also basic but perfectly fine, if you don’t expect a five star brunch. We were able to hang out in the hotel and leave our luggage
