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.).

Good value for money, nice rooms, and they clean the rooms every day!

ChileThe hot water didn't work one day, and I was already in the shower before knowing. Having a notice about this beforehand would have been better!
Very friendly staff! I enjoyed eating their simple but filling breakfast of bread, ham, cheese, and cereal with yogurt. I also appreciated how well-kept the room was.

United StatesThe only real downside was the location. It's a bit far from the center of Castro (at least a half an hour walking) if the public bus system isn't running.
The breakfast was really good and the staff were very nice. I also enjoyed having a separate bathroom in the room I booked.

GuatemalaThe hostel is a bit too far from the center, which can get annoying (Uber is cheap though and there is also a bus). There is a kitchen, but one cannot cook as there are no stoves. It's enough to make tea, coffee and some sandwiches.
Staff was very friendly and the rooms were spacious and well cleaned. Breakfast was also alright.

BulgariaKeep in mind that the place is around 30 mins away from the city centre by foot and you will need to take some form of transportation unless you feel like walking.
The staff is awesome, can't complain, they gave us tips, told us more about Castro and the surrounding areas, even drove us to the bus station at the end of our stay! They really made an effort to make us feel welcomed.

United KingdomThey had limited kitchen facilities we could use, just a kettle, microwave and toastie maker, and the heating in our room worked for only one of the three nights we were there so it was freezing, and it was quite a walk from town.
Staff were super friendly, breakfast was repeated and simple but really good, really nice hot showers, beds were comfy and it was right across the road from a massive supermarket which was convenient!

United KingdomVery disappointed with this hostel. A lot of what they advertise on booking.com is untrue. For us we look for accommodation that takes card payment which this hostel states they do under their policies. This is a lie, they demanded cash payment only (in Chilean pesos so we couldn't even get our IVA tax deducted). Other misleading claims include offer of a tour desk (a table with a couple of leaflets does not count) and there was no evidence of any dry cleaning? The facilities (as far as we could see) did not offer a garden (with or without furniture), nor a dishwasher, nor 'streaming' TV (cable only), no invoice offered, no 24 hour key access (access by buzzer only, no access after midnight). Heating was a joke, it was off for the majority of the day and night. As for sound proofing, that was nonexistent. They state (under Property Practices) their 'Environmental' credentials, but there was little or no evidence of anything they claimed. As for our individual room, it was freezing the majority of the time (despite complaining). The bed was uncomfortable and the bedlinen too small. The storage was badly designed, so not much room to hang anything. The shower head holder was broken, so only hand held showering available (and the hot water took ages to come through). The soap dispensers didn't dispense soap or shampoo. The towels were non absorbent, so ineffective for drying. We could hear noise from all around us, and from above and below
The staff were friendly but unable to help us much as the systems were controlled externally by an unseen management (or owner). The breakfast was decent enough with bread, sliced meats, cheese and jam. Also cereals, yoghurt and tea/coffee. It was opposite a big supermarket. Although up a hill it was walkable to the town centre (30 - 40 minutes) and had bus stops very close

United StatesA long list of problems. I found the place uncomfortable, the bathroom had mold, the floors were not pristine, materials were cheap (just like the cost of the hotels), and the walls just DID NOT keep sound out. It was an overall uncomfortable experience and stressful.
I guess you get what you paid for. It was decent, the staff nice and it was cheap. However you get what you paid for which isn't very much.
