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):
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.).

CanadaThe town itself is a bit on the dull side. Far from the beaches.
The dorm room was quite roomy but if it is a full house I think it would get pretty stuffy, and with only one bathroom it would not be ideal. The terrace was really good, hammocks up there, and it overlooks the football pitch. The AC was on at night, so i would suggest getting a bed close to the AC. The kitchen looked pretty good, there is a laundromat next door charging 25MXP per kilo.

United StatesThere were some cockroaches in the bathroom. No shampoo was provided. The common areas are prone to mosquitoes.
The private room was fairly clean and was quiet at night. The ceiling fan sufficed to cool the room, and the air conditioner was rarely needed. It was nice to be able to hang a few clothes to dry on the rooftop clotheslines. The kitchen was well stocked. Maribel promptly answers the door if the main door is closed.

CanadaThe private room I was given backed onto the street which was quite noisy but bearable. The wifi is very spotty and weak. It was down for most of the day. Not great if you need to work.
Good solid booking in la Crucecita. Nice check-in and out. Very comfortable bed, clean, well-stocked kitchen, excellent location close to everything. The staff are doing a great job and are very helpful and professional.

Location excellent! Comfy bed. Kitchen facilities, common area, hammock on terrace. Clean. Very secure digs. Staff sooooo lovely and chatty. They'd speak English and I replied in Spanish. The main woman I don't think speaks English but she was pleasant enough.

MexicoInternet could be better covering the whole property but is not 100% necessary. There was a charge paying with card so making a transfer is more convenient (free of charge). Next to a park with sports facilities becomes something good and bad at the same time, very nice view (behind the hostel) to the soccer field and threes but when there are local leagues playing could be very noisy since very very early in the morning.
Great location in Crucecita you can walk to some places like the market, bars and restaurants and the main boulevard (Chahué) is close too. Confortable beds, good shower, good internet signal (just in the lobby). People running the hotel/hostel are very kind. Very clean, I recommend this place a lot.

Nice chill out area on the roof overlooking the public football pitch. Not a very social/traveller hostel so maybe not so good for solo travellers but had everything we needed and definitely recommend.

CanadaI was charged 406 MXN pesos more than the price quoted by booking.com at the time of my reservation. The reservation states that you will pay cash at the property which is fine but the price should remain the same as the quote. The hotel showed me the confirmation they received from booking.com which included the commission charged. So in other words the hotel passed along to me the commission they should be paying to use the booking.com platform. I complained to booking.com and they just “passed the buck” so no-one took responsibility. I’ve never had this happen before and I’ve paid cash at lots of places.
Decent sized private room, very clean with comfortable beds (daily housekeeping was a bonus). The shared kitchen is very clean, well organized and has everything you need to make almost any kind of meal. The terrace is a great place to hang out and relax- usually a cool breeze blowing through. Great location, within walking distance to 2 beaches.

United StatesNothing could have been better. It is perfect - just as is.
Maribel Torres - the owner/operator of Hostel Azul y Blanco - is just wonderful. Very friendly and very helpful...! The hostel (itself) was certainly one-of the-cleanest and best-maintained places I have *ever* stayed at (anywhere in the world). I *highly recommend* this place - and, I am already looking forward to my next-stay there...!
