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 KingdomThe room was a bit hot with no fan which required the windows to be open which meant it was a bit loud in the mornings.
Beds were so comfy and in the room I was in they were single beds with screen between rather than bunk beds which was nice.

IrelandInternet was brutal in the room. It kept dropping off. Seems to work better in the common area.
The location was great as it was close to bars, shops and restaurants. It was also about 3 doors down from the drop off point for Peru Hop. I loved the hammocks for relaxing in and the common are was lovely too. There are three cats that live there - bonus for me as I love cats. Might not suit other people. You can book your boat trip to Las Islas Ballestas there too and the guide will meet you at the hostel. Quite handy. Laundry was 12 soles a kilo (minimum 1 kilo) ocer 24 hours which which was handy too.

SpainIt was very loud, even when guests didn't want to party there was still loud music which made the pool and common areas less relaxing.
Beds are comfortable and private, location is easy to access to the oasis, and the pool is very nice.

United KingdomThe WiFi wasn't great. It didn't work in our room and dropped in and out when in the communal areas. The kitchen was ok, but there was very little fridge space Also, our room was at the front of the hostel and the road noise, cars beeping & musical bin lorry started very early each morning
The location was great, the staff were helpful and organised reasonably priced trips for us. The family room was basic but had an ensuite and was good value for what we paid.

United StatesNo fans or ventilation at all in the room. It's way too hot for that. Many people complained about not being able to sleep because of this.
The owner is fantastic! Anyone else at the front desk, not so much. The cats are great. The terraza is wonderful. Good kitchen and common areas. Booking the Isla Balletas and National Reserve Tour here is a good deal.

United KingdomBathroom had broken head so one of the showers out of action. The owner made me feel inadequate and judged. I did not have a small pad lock and he basically shrugged and kind of looked down like I am supposed know everything. Instead of perhaps supplying the pad lock??? Just a suggestion.
Very central to where I needed to be. Their hamak garden was very pleasant.

BelgiumThe place is a bit run down and could really use a deep clean and some maintenance. On the weekend no one was enforcing the 10PM quiet time in the shared areas. Our room was at the ground floor facing the common hammock area and it was loud.
It's a good hostel with loads of rooms, located in a very convenient spot for tours of the area, with helpful staff. There's some common spaces with chairs and hammocks and 3 friendly cats. WiFi worked well. The room and bed are small, which seems to be the Peru standard, but clean. Hot water in the clean bathroom. You can easily book tours to the islands and the national reserve through the hostel for the same prices as in other parts of town (the tours are not great to be honest, but that's not the hostel's fault).
