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 StatesThe rooms are very basic but that's ok for the price, I do think the mattresses need to be changed.
The staff was super friendly and chill, they tried to help any way they could, even offered to stay as long as we needed to, if we had a late night bus. the dogs were lovely and always down for pets. The food was good and affordable and the vibe was generally just friendly.

BelgiumI loved the relax vibe of the hostel, family, randal the host and the area. Your super close to the beach. In a nice street full of shops and you dont have to go far for good food..the owners have a buzzy nice restaurant..i love their included breakfast. Really royal for being in a hostel.. wauw!! The reviews didnt lying!! The family who run it..are so sweet and helpfull. Randal who take care of the hostel is really accomodating and available at anytime. The rooftop is nice to chill. My room was spacious.. the matrass was a bit hard but i slept very nice. It would be nice to have a fan as the kitchen give a lot of heat in that particular room. The bathroom in the room is a nice bonus.. could be a bit more cleaner and a fix of the showerhead. Maybe hot water if possible..the heater wasnt workinh. Thats a minor note.. randal cleaned my room upon arrival..me and my friend were the only one in the hostel because of low season. .i can imagine with more People its more noisy..but i dont think it affect your sleep. Its a quiet area. I absolutly recommend staying here and not in trujillo. I have been to the city with the local bus who pick you up in the front of the hostel..collectivos are also possible. I prefer them more.. and they were actually cheaper. Plaza arma was nice but other than that i was happy to be back in huanchaco.

United StatesFree breakfast at this hostel was amazing! They own the restaurant downstairs, and you get to choose from the breakfast menu! The hostel was very quiet and very few people staying there, but I did not mind. Good place to rest, comfy beds and large rooms! Public bus to Trujillo was just a 2-min walk away on the main street and ran often. Very easy to get to Chan Chan by public bus. Fun to watch the surf competitions at the beach.

GermanyThe rooms are very basic, but the downstairs restaurant and staff makes more than up for it! And you still get your own en-suite bathroom including hot-water shower. The location is good, it's close to the beach and the bus to Chan-Achan and Trujillo. If you have the choice to stay in Trujillo or Juanchaco - stay here, in Juanchaco! Much more lively, sunset at the beach and surf lessons if you want to try.

His whole family is very welcoming and he makes great food. The third floor has a great rooftop hang out area and he was very knowledgeable about the area and had great tips on where to go/how to get there, Plus a great surf instructor.
