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 reviewA lovely surprise in Las Lajas! The hostel is run by a super friendly host who makes you feel welcome right away. The place is simple but clean and cozy – just what you need for a stopover.

Verified reviewOwner helpful and had everything we expected.
The only thing that was bad from our point of view was air conditioning. There were two fans but for people like us used to colder areas of the world, we really would have liked aircon.

Verified reviewThe hostel was great value for money, was in a good location a short drive to the beach and had a well-equipped kitchen.
We loved everything but the electricity was gone in the morning so we had no WiFi, could not charge any items or turn on the fan. We had to leave early to find WiFi somewhere else to work, since the staff were not around to fix it.

Verified reviewGreat little hostel! We stayed two nights at Christian’s place and loved it. The room and common areas are suuuper clean, the bed was comfortable and the view from the terrace is very beautiful. Also Christian was a very kind and thoughtful host! He even runs a gym next to the hostel so you could go there in case you need a workout:) We definitely recommend this place and wish Christian all the best.

Verified reviewMy stay at this place was delightful - cleanliness, kindness, and attention to detail by the host made it truly enjoyable. The simple yet satisfying room left nothing to be desired. The shared kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, and the lovely terrace offered a delightful view. A standout feature was the adjacent gym, a true gem for fitness enthusiasts. Overall, a great experience with thoughtful amenities!
While overall my experience was positive, I would like to offer a suggestion to the host. The curtains in the rooms didn't provide much privacy, especially considering the terrace table was positioned right in front of the window. It made one feel a bit exposed. Addressing this small concern could enhance the overall comfort for future guests.

Little bit too hot in the room

Verified reviewVery good and clean room. With almost everything you need. An additional air-condition would make this room a 10. Kitchen is also nice and staff is helpful.
It was very hot inside of the room even though we left the fan on the whole night. And It felt a bit more as an BNB than a hostal.

Verified reviewChristian is a very friendly, reliable and customer-oriented host. The hostal is clean, well-equipped and just 1 minute from the highway. Good option to make a break when going or coming from David and wanting to jump into the ocean! I you need a six pack, Christian will provide you with it too in his gym. :-)

Verified reviewChristian is a kind and helpful person. I enjoyed my stay so much I added another day there. Breakfast was great. The view from the terrace over the garden is beautiful especially seeing the sunrise. Wi-Fi worked well. Hot water from the shower.
A bit of a walk to shops/ bus but doable.
