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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewGreat location near central square and great bars and restaurants. Friendly, helpful staff. Cute hostel with nice common areas. Great hot shower and hot water in the sink.
Try to get a room off the street. (#4 is great for a couple) We were on the street the first night and could barely sleep hearing the music from bars nearby and every moto going by.

Verified reviewIt's a nice hostel, well equipped and clean and I found a nice vibe with the other travellers. It's just very expensive, I found there to be much cheaper accommodation in the area, I found private rooms that were equally well equipped, just not as modern, for cheaper than their 8 bed dorm
The cost, 90bob for an 8 bed dorm is much more expensive then the average in the rest of the country. Very equivalent room in a hostel in la paz was going for 40bob

Verified review- Marta (daytime receptionist) - very helpful - gave me lots of information on restaurants and things to do in the city - Beautiful Hostel - with garden and lots of sitting areas - Nice Breakfast (tea, coffee, yogurt, fruit, eggs, bread) - Spacious Room (Quad with Private Bathroom) - very clean, nice hot shower - Free luggage storage after checkout - Central Location - about 15 bolivianos taxi from the bus terminal
- Noise from the street from cars and late night bar - No organized social events for the guests - I arrived at around 7am (after a very unpleasant overnight bus), but didn't get to move into the room until 11:30am which was still nice because check-in time is 12pm. I was offered the option to take a nap in one of their hammocks or living room and use the other public facilities (bathroom, showers)

Verified reviewEclectic, well designed facility, full of local touches and art, loads of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang and chill either alone or with friends. And the most relaxed, chill, helpful staff I’ve ever encountered in a hostel.
The plumbing is a bit noisy, the room cleaning could be a little more thorough, but this is honestly perhaps the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Verified review- Central location with a number of restaurants nearby. We got to the hostel from the bus terminal via a short InDrive ride (15 BOB). - Plenty of common areas on the first floor and third floor. The decor and ambience in the common areas were very nice too, one of the best we've seen in hostels in Latin America. - The lady at the reception was very friendly. While checking out, she shared many tips about other destinations that we were going to while in Bolivia.
- The private room we got was very cramped (but it was as advertised in the photos, so not a surprise).

Verified reviewHighly recommended. The hostel has a humble appearance from the street, but opens up into a little oasis which is their backyard. Plenty of space, places to hang out, great atmosphere, sweet breakfast service (eggs made to order) and outstandingly nice and helpful staff!

Verified reviewThe staff is amazing. I really appreciate for their support. My room was very clean, the breakfast is very complete and overall I would comeback here.
That night the music of the building in the front of the hostal was very loud and it was difficult to sleep. But I know it's not all the days.
