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.).

BelgiumThe shower in our bedroom was catastrophic (no pressure and the water temperature was either icy-cold or scalding hot. Apparently there was a drought problem during our stay that could the reason of this shower problem. The shower wasn’t really clean and there was not soap, shower gel or shampoo in the room. These minor inconveniences were no obstacle to our superb stay.
The reactivity of the staff, the location (8min walks from the oasis), the swimming pool, the decoration of the hotel and the food and drinks (cocktails and juices) were really good. Two cats lives around and they’re really friendly

United StatesThe shower worked but wasn't great. There wasn't overhead lighting in our (private) room and one of our two bedside lamps wasn't working - or the outlet on that side wasn't working. They provide a big fan but there's no AC, fyi. All in all we got more or less what we'd expected for the price we paid.
A very pretty hostel with super friendly and helpful staff who were happy to offer recommendations for where to eat/ how to get around. Excellent free breakfast and good food to order on their kitchen menu when you want an easy meal. Nice pool and communal lounging areas. Less than 10 min ride from the Huacachina oasis. Perfect distance if you'd prefer to stay outside of the heart of the tourist/ party hostel vibe. They helped us arrange a sand dune tour that picked us up and dropped us off at the hostel gate.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower was weak
The room was comfortable and the pool area was great with loads of seating areas surrounding. Breakfast was eggs, bread and juice which was nice. We got food here multiple times which was reasonably priced and good. The Hostel is a little outside Huacachina but I wouldn't let that put you off as it's only about a 15 minute walk alongside the road. It's easy to get tuk tuks if preferred. We loved that we could go out in Huacachina and then come back to our chilled hostel later in the evenings. We were welcome to use the facilities after check out including showers and my partner was ill and the staff really looked after them even providing free herbal tea.

United StatesThere’s a 15-20 minute walk or a taxi for 8 soles to get to Huacachina (the hostel can call for you); the room was listed as air conditioned but only has a fan (you may need to cool off the room at night by opening doors/windows)
The hostel has very nice and colorful design; there is also an on-site bar and restaurant which had surprisingly good buffalo wings!; also the hostel is quieter

SloveniaThe toilet in our bedroom did not function properly, but that really presented no problem for us, as there were plenty of shared and really clean toilets that we could use.
The place itself is very cozy and charming, away from the buzz and parties of Huacachina. Perfect for those who want to be near Huacachina, but would like to have a good night sleep. There is also a good bar inside with an option to order food and the food is of high quality. The staff is very friendly. They allowed us to stay in the shared facilities even after our check out and have stored our luggage for us. All in all the experience brought a big smile on our faces.

United KingdomSo much effort has been put in by the staff to create a relaxing and fun place to stay close to Huacachina (less than a 5 min drive to it and Ica). The food was great, breakfast was made personally when you got up and the variety and quality of food available throughout the day was so good. Highly recommend.

IrelandHostel is located outside of Huacachina town but it is only about a 15 mins walk or a 2 minute tuk-tuk which costs 4 soles each way. It would be ideal to have some sun loungers on the grass beside the pool.
We stayed here for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. The staff are super friendly. There is a lovely atmosphere about the place, with a refreshing swimming pool, nice chill out areas in the garden, and a funky bar. The food is decent. We had simple breakfast included which was coffee, juice, and eggs. Our room was nice (no AC but they provided a fan which helped with the heat).

In over 20 years of backpacking, this is by far in my top 3 of places I’ve stayed. Super friendly and amazing staff. It has a great atmosphere with a bar and a nice swimming pool yet respectful of people’s need for sleep. Everything is done with care and with a smile. Cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10

They have a nice pool and offer good food and drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can book a sand buggy tour through them, although we found it nicer to just walk from the hostel to one of the sand dunes to watch the sunset.

United KingdomThe breakfast choices could be improved - just bread and eggs and if you don’t like eggs it’s not very filling.
The staff were really helpful! They recommended a restaurant on our first night which was so good. They also arrange all our tours for us and we thought they were great! We did the pisco sour tour and the sandboarding. The pool was great, the rooms were lovely, better than many hotel rooms we’ve stayed. The staff seemed like they couldn’t do enough even with a language barrier in some cases! We didn’t have any problems with noise at all either and we were in a room opposite the bar. Thank you!
