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.).

GermanyOur check-in was a little chaotic and the Wi-Fi was gone for a long time and reception was non-existent in our room.
A little older hostel, but it definitely has charme and is quite social. The hot showers are nice and it's not too far from the historic center.

South AfricaAlthough the location is very close to the city centre, I found the street in which the hostel is located to a little unpleasant at times. However, most of the streets surrounding the city centre are similar and it was not too bad.
Sergio, the manager, is absolutely brilliant. He is very friendly and extremely helpful. I stayed at Hostel Rivendell pn three separate occasions, with hikes in between each stay. During each hike I was able to leave my extra luggage and valuables at the hostel with the knowledge that Sergio would look after it. The beds are comfy, rooms are clean, showers are hot and there is a nice common area in the middle which is great for meeting fellow travelers.

ColombiaThere was a small problem with the water when I was there. If there are a lot of people staying in the hostel (and showering presumably) then late at night the water would sometimes go out. I got the sense that this was a temporary problem and that Sergio is working to fix it, but it was still frustrating at the time. He made up for it in other ways though.
I stayed at Hostel Rivendell for several days when I first arrived in Cusco. The owner, Sergio, was very friendly and helped me to plan the rest of my trip and give me recommendations. The ambience is very relaxing and the name Rivendell really suits it as a place of refuge for weary travelers like myself. I really like the outside area in particular, perfect for barbecuing and relaxing.

United KingdomI went on a solo trip to Cusco and was looking for a good deal on accommodations near the city centre. This hotel didn't dissapoint me as it was in a great location. The rooms were big and clean. I will recommend anyone to book here as the staff are really friendly and the atmosphere around was amazing.

United KingdomThe owner was really cool and made us feel really welcome. It felt like a home away from home. Everyone staying there was great and we ended up staying much longer than we planned. If you want to stay somewhere that is a good price, with good people you can’t do better than this hostel. It’s located in centre and if you ask the guys on site what’s going on, they really have a finger on the pulse in terms of where to go, what to do..

PeruI spent few days in this hostel but felt home since the first moment! Sergio, the owner of the hostel, has been really helpful, kind and such a sociable person! This hostel is for sure a very important part of this travel experience in Peru and in Cusco. Our room was cozy and clean, such as bathroom, kitchen and common room. I will 100% go back there tomorrow! Great team and great people in this brand new hostel in Cusco city! Hasta pronto!

United KingdomShowers were often unclean, the hob in the kitchen needs instructions as it can be dangerous and the room got cold at night (though blankets were provided so not a major issue).
Staff were really friendly and location was ideal (quiet and out the way but near to the centre - approx 10mins walk).

United StatesIt was a little dirty, the private room had lots of hair left on the floor from a previous guest and the back bathroom looked like it was never cleaned
The host is amazing. He kept my things all the time even though I thought I would move several days but never did. He was helpful when the room was filled and I told him I would leave but he gave me a private for the same price. And when I arrived late that night after another tour he gave me the ability to shower and he is the best!
