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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

LithuaniaNoise isolation between rooms - could have been better. You could hear others talking. Tight bedroom.
Good location - close to the epic hiking trails, but further from the bus station. Hospitable staff !!! For the breakfast they provided scrambled eggs (just without any vegetables) - that's a plus compared to other hosterias/lodges I have stayed throughout my trip in South Patagonia. Hair dryer was not provided in the room but you can barrow it at the reception! Good Wi-Fi. You can use their fridge, kettle and microwave.

NetherlandsThe bathroom smelled a bit funny.
It is a basic hostel so you get what you pay for. Rooms are ok, don't expect too much but you won't be there much anyway. The bathroom is a bit small but it works, make sure to close the shower curtains properly. As the location is just one block away from the main road everything you need is close by. The staff is friendly and ready to assist you with questions. They provide a transfer service to and from the airport, it's slightly more expensive than the bus. If we would have known we'd probably use it.

United StatesThe front desk staff are quite ill-informed. The woman on duty upon our evening arrival told me the Fitz Roy trailhead was 3 km away; a different woman the next morning told it was 20 km each way (rather than round trip)! If you have a roller bag (rather than a backpack), be aware that you have to walk rather far from the bus station on a fair amount of extremely uneven/rocky terrain to get to the hostel, so you need to be able to carry your luggage (or take a taxi/Uber).
The location was excellent - right next to the mountain and a few minutes walk from the trailhead for the Fitz Roy, and the view from our room was wonderful.

United KingdomThe bathroom was pretty tight but just about manageable. Also mind that it’s about 20 mins walk from the bus terminal but then you’re closer to trailheads
Great breakfast that included a good portion of eggs. Staff were friendly and offered advice about where to find the National Park office. They also respected the price in ARS without a hassle over which exchange rate to use- an issue we found with a couple of properties in Argentina. Close to the Fitz Roy trailhead!
