How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The staff was AMAZING!! they accommodated all our requests and even personally took us to a local restaurant because we were looking for something specific. They gave us a breakfast box at 4am without any problems and allowed us to leave the luggages there while visiting Machu Picchu. The room itself was clean, comfortable and very cozy. The location was perfect: just a few mins from the buses to Machu Picchu and from the train station, yet in a quiet street. Couldn't recommend it more!

The hotel is located inside a tiny street, so view from the room was not splendid, but the view from the room was not our primary reason.
It is a small hotel a bit inside and out of the main street, what is a big bonus, because you can relax and don't be disturbed by a noizy environment. Trains neither are not audible. The hosts are great. They made our stay there very comfy and nice and even gave us a huge tart because of my birthday. For free! Beds were comfy and big. Breakfast was ok to start day and climb Machu Picchu. We kept our baggage there until we were back. I haven't sense any moisture or mold in the room.

It was damp while we stayed there and it made my dry, clean clothes damp while we stayed there. I'm not sure if it was the time of year during our visit or if it is always that way.
Kind hosts. Clean room. Good breakfast.

Clean, comfortable, centrally located but away from all the noise. Hosts are very friendly and attentive to our needs. They got up very early in the morning just to prepare breakfast for us before our tour to Machu Picchu. Hot shower and good pressure.

The hotel was absolutely great. We were upgraded to a suite upon arrival. The owner and his family were incredibly nice. The shower was one of the best we've had in all of south america - hot, hot water and fantastic water pressure. The location is great - right by great restaurants and close to everything in the city (as its small). They even pack you a to-go lunch if you have an early morning ticket to Machu Pichu.

The location was great! Our room had a great view of the mountains and the beds and shower were amazing. The owner of the hotel was incredibly friendly, made an amazing breakfast, and even let us rest in the restaurant until our train arrived later. He helped us with anything we needed, and made us feel at home.

Clean, efficient and comfortable place to stay for a night before Machu picchu. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was delicious especially the quinoa pancakes. It is also far enough from train station so it was pretty quiet at night except for the roosters.

Nothing. It was exactly what we wanted after hiking 4 days on the Inca trail.
Basic hotel. No real lobby. Rooms were very nice with private bathroom. Beds were comfortable. Location was great. Owner was very helpful. Good wifi. Very nice included breakfast. Best quinoa pancakes that we had the whole trip.Close to train station, bus station, hot springs and many good restaurants and coffe shops.
