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 reviewGood location, comfortable materace
Rude hotel staff, nobody spoke English but also nobody was willing to try to communicate with us and overcome language barrier. Room had windows that were not possible to close, and the power outlets inside the room were different than in every hotel that we visited before in Guatemala and neighbour counties (and also different from ones outside of the room in the common areas) and it was not possible to use standard adapter for Central America. We got the info on WhatsApp that they can prepare breakfast for us early but then in the hotel they refused it and ghosted us on WhatsApp Hahaha Tiny toilets and showers.

Verified reviewIt was my first time staying in a capsule and honestly it was a great experience. I loved how we each had our choice to turn on the fan, change the color of lighting, and had our own mirror inside the capsule! Honestly, I loved it so much l, I ended up extending for 3 nights. I would have given this hostel a 10, but I needed to change my dates a second time and they were inflexible towards that, which made me had to change all my plans all together. Other than this mild annoyance, from the breakfast, to the staff and overall concept of the hostel was great. Two things I would like to mention also is that the internet in the capsule wasn't always very functional and that you can apparently ask for a towel free of charge (I didn't know about this until my last night).
Slow internet in capsules and inflexibility of management.

Verified reviewClose to the airport and uncomplicated!
Very thin walls, so it was a bit hard to catch some decent sleep since my room was next to the bathroom/showers.

Verified reviewGood location and the private room was very big. Showers are hot. Breakfast is basic but free so no complaints.
The bedside lamps didn't work in the room and couldn't be replaced.

For me it was hard to sleep inside Capsule.
Thanks for your comment, but you made the reservation in a capsule. those are comfortable and also have electricity inside, with all of the tools to make it comfortable. in the next time we invite you to make the reservation in a private room not in dorm.

Verified reviewThe staff was incredibly kind and attentive, exceeding all my expectations for a hostel. I stayed in a private room and was charmed by the beautiful beds and the impeccable cleanliness of the entire place. Not only that, the location is unbeatable, offering a quiet and safe environment that truly allowed me to relax and enjoy. The level of service here is comparable to a boutique hotel. The girl at the reception was a great help, providing us with clear instructions and assisting us with our airport transportation request. These kinds of attentions make a big difference. In addition to the comfortable rooms, the hostel offers laundry services, which is a huge plus. But what truly impressed me were the futuristic pods. Although I didn't stay in one, I had the opportunity to see them and they are truly "out of this world" – super incredible! The communal kitchen is fully equipped, perfect if you want to prepare your own meals, and the 24-hour coffee station is a fantastic detail. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the garden, reading a book and savoring a delicious coffee. Beyond the excellent facilities, what made my experience even more special was the atmosphere. I met wonderful people and made new friends. I never imagined that staying in a hostel could be so rewarding and full of positive experiences.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic. Practically everything was walkable. The space capsules was a big hit.
The location was wrong on Google Maps…like 1.6 kilometers wrong. I informed the staff…I’m not confident it was corrected.
