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.).

BrazilThe place also lacks activities for guests to interact, which somewhat diminished the social atmosphere. On the bright side, the facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, were in acceptable conditions. One point worth mentioning is the absence of a good Wi-Fi signal, which can be inconvenient for those needing to work remotely. Unfortunately, we also didn't find suitable areas to work during our stay.
I had a decent stay at the hostel. The breakfast, while not very varied, was available in a buffet format. The beds are equipped with curtains, providing ample privacy; however, there is a lot of noise coming from the busy street, with people talking, cars passing, and horns honking throughout the night.

United KingdomAlthough they had a bar advertised, it wasn't open for the 3 days we were there. The kitchen was quite small and could only fit 2 people at a time. They do need more toilets considering the amount of people staying. This place has great potential to be very social, however, as the bar wasn't open, we felt that there wasn't much of an atmosphere.
The rooms were spacious with good sized lockers. Nice outdoor areas, very communal and can be social. Good location in Arequipa and friendly staff.

ItalyYou may need earplugs because it can get a little noisy in the street from time to time but they give it to you for free at the reception if you ask.
Welcoming staff, clean, location right in the city centre, good breakfast, hot water, it's possible to store your bags for more days. For women's day they even left chocolate on the pillows for the girls.

GermanyThere was so much love put into details and I loved that. I felt very comfortable in my room since the bed is very private and even the dorm room with a lot of beds in it was very spacious, so that unpacking my things wasn't complicated at all. Definitely an extraordinary experience compared to many other hostels.

CanadaThe staff organized a special little get together for all the guests on Xmas Eve. They even have us presents and champagne! The staff were always really friendly and helpful. The layout provides lots of space to be social or chill alone. It was very quiet after 10pm. The breakfast is totally adequate and there's a kitchen too. It's very minimal but did the job. Everyone I met there was lovely. Good social vibe but not a party place.

PeruI was expecting some activities to socialize with other travelers, but I guess I didn't stay long enough to be part of it.
The whole place is clean and cozy. Each bed has a curtain for privacy in sharing rooms. People there were really kind and helpful. Hot water 24h. Iron and hair dryer available for free. Remember to take a padlock with you for your locker. But, if you forget it as I did, you can buy one at the front desk.
