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 KingdomOnly one… and I hate to tarnish the review as this was only small… the water pressure was pretty bad, just a trickle. I may have been showering a peak shower time though?
Quick to respond to questions. I felt very welcome on arrival. The owner was very amenable and allowed me to park my motorcycle in the parking area. The place had a lovely vibe to it and the other guests all seemed nice. Easy place to get chatting to others. I would recommend staying here.

It was a very nice place to stay. We felt so comfortable there. The hosts are so kind, the kitchen is totally gorgeous for cooking and prepare some food for the next day. We loved the atmosphere there with the yoga room, the details and the house turtle!

CanadaJust that there's no view of the ocean from the rooms.
This is a hostel that understands the basic needs of travelers. A clean room, a hot shower, a side light in the room, curtains, a table and free coffee in the morning. There's really inexpensive yoga classes, a lot of space to hang out and a cute turtle in the yard. People were respectful for noise in the evening. There's even a space to leave your surf board and wetsuit! There's no better place in Huanchaco

GermanyIt was honestly one of the best hostels we have ever been to. The atmosphere was great and people were so friendly, it really felt like home. The rooms were as described, comfortable beds, hot shower, quiet. Well-equipped kitchen. Great yoga classes. We were able to check in some hours earlier. After checking out we could stay in the common rooms until the departure of our night bus. There were so many nice areas to relax in the hostel - you could get in contact with other guests super easily but also had the possibility to enjoy some time on your own. We are missing this hostel now, hope to come back sometime!

Super nice place and super helpful and friendly owner. We were able to check in very early in the morning as we arrived with the night bus from Huaraz - without any additional fees - highly appreciate that. Further, it was possible to leave our luggage in the Hostel for a few hours after check out. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a cozy, budget-friendly room in a great location.

When we arrived we did not knew this hostel was owned by a Dutch owner. That was a nice surprise although we meet many Dutch people while traveling. Paul helped us with everything. This was by far the cleanest and newest looking hostel we stayed in. There is a turtle walking around in the patio/garden. There are several chill areas with hammocks. And WiFi works perfect. And let’s face it, we can’t do without anymore ;) If you go to Huacachina don’t hesitate and go to ATMA.
