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.).

United KingdomIt’s a little far out from main attractions and often you’re asked not to shower or that the showers aren’t working, which can be difficult, not easy to meet people as it’s so quiet
The beds are comfy and the rooms a good size, there is a nice area to chill out and watch Netflix and it’s quiet so a good area for getting up early for trips that start early

United StatesIt was a little noisy in the morning in the room we had because a vent in the bathroom connected to the breakfast room.
The room we had was very comfortable, and there were stands to put bags on which made things easy. The morning breakfast was really pleasant in a brightly lit room as well with friendly fellow travelers. It was an easy walk into Cusco for exploring around.

CanadaThe shower in our room wasnt great and didnt have enough water for a shower one evening... had to wait 1hr to have one... but this seemed like a common thing in Cusco.
We had a private room with convenient shelves to take our belongings out which was nice. The beds were comfy with lots of warm blankets. The location was great- felt safe. Less then 15min to walk to the main square and great cheap pizza around the corner. The hosts were so welcoming!

CanadaDefinitely little further from Plaza de Armas than we wanted to stay. 15 minutes walk, but 10 minutes via busy one way street where it’s hard to pass pedestrians on a tiny sidewalk. Also last part of the walk definitely doesn’t count as a DT area. Would not feel safe walking when dark. First day we had a nice breaky with buns, jam, tea & coffee + omelette. Delicious 2nd day no omelette… which was strange. When asked the owner why - she could explain - just happen. I didn’t want to continue investigate, not to make her feel bad, because she’s lovely. It more feels like a home stay with many rooms than a lodge/hostel.
Very nice staff and we had a bonus 3rd bed in our bedroom. Spacious bedroom. Nice courtyard area and breakfast room (small though). Big common room (we didn’t use it)

GermanyEverything was fine. Some rooms recently renovated others a bit older and would require a new touch of colour. But no real critical pointl As it is family owned hostel it is normal that renovation goes step by step.
Very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Each staff member even knew my name and the names of the rest of the guests which makes you feel at home.. I had 3 stays at this hostel during my time in Peru. All rooms were a little different but beds were always very confortable & bathrooms very clean and with hot water. The hostal is located in a residential part of Cusco with good and cheap restaurants nearby. The walk to the historical city center takes just 10 min.

IrelandThe kitchen is on the smaller side but is adequate.
Lovely, quiet family-run hostel in Cusco in a convenient location. We stayed here before and after doing the 4 day Inca Trail and the hostel kept our additional luggage for free while we were gone. We also had 10kg of laundry after the trek which they amazingly got washed and dropped back to us on the same day. The included breakfast is basic but sets you up for the day. The hostel is located 10-15 mins from the Old Town and there are multiple shops, pharmacies and restaurants near by. The staff are very attentive, the rooms are cleaned daily and the beds are very comfortable.

The best part about this place is definitely the staff - they’re very helpful, eager to give any recommendations you need, always ask how your day was and if there’s anything they can do for you. They can also book tours for you for a really good price. The room was great - very clean, with everything we needed. Hot showers. Great breakfast, something new every day and if you have to leave early for a tour they’ll provide you with a lunchbox. Cheap and quick laundry service. Friendly, peaceful atmosphere.
