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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

In addition to being a beautiful hotel/hostel, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and the staff was always on site cleaning. The breakfast that was included was perfect and the coffee shop/bar was very convenient. They also offered onsite laundry services with a 24 hr turnaround, amazing! Overall great experience and would choose Ojalá again in the future.

AustriaAll awesome!
We had an incredible stay at Hostel Ojalá in Antigua—one of the best hostels we've ever experienced! The place is beautiful, well-maintained, and very clean. As three friends, we stayed in a cozy 4-bed dorm, and it was perfect for us. The bathrooms are separate, but you can use the entire bathroom for yourself, which is awesome, and the shower was great! The garden was lush and green, with nice spaces to sit and do some laptop work. The included breakfast was fantastic, with a selection of three options, all great for a hostel breakfast. The hostel also offers free water and good Wi-Fi. During the low season, the vibe was very chill—perfect for relaxing but maybe not the best place to meet new people and party. If you're looking for a relaxed and cozy time in Antigua, this is your place! Really, one of my favorite hostels ever. Highly recommend!

The hostel is located in the middle of the center of Antigua so everything is on walking distance. The bathrooms are very clean and the rooms get cleaned everyday. The beds are very comfortable.

United StatesBeds were hard. No AC for the warm nights which is common I believe. They also have upcharge the conversion so you pay way more at the hotel than the price you booked for
For breakfast you only get to choose from the same three options daily. Coffee is free but watered down. It is very centrally located

United KingdomThe rooms aren’t very soundproof (could hear normal volume conversations from next door). It wasn’t an issue for us but maybe bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Ojala was a great base for our stay in Antigua. The room was stylish and comfortable and the staff were really helpful. The free breakfast was very yummy!

United StatesThey only have 2 bathrooms with showers that are shared by 3 4-person dorms and the 8-person dorm. It is technically enough, but in the mornings you have to wait in line to take a shower. It is a very minimal issue, but of course having 1-2 showers would easily solve this problem although I know it can be hard to add plumbing to these older infrastructures.
Stayed in a 4-person dorm and the beds were super comfortable and the privacy curtains did their job. The place has two courtyards, the 4-person dorms are in the lower floor in the back and share a courtyard with the private rooms which are located on the upper floor and the ground floor as well. The front courtyard has access to the 8-person dorm which also is where the main entrance and coffee/bar is located. Both courtyards are gorgeous and the grounds are well kept with beautiful purple flower petals laying on the ground in the rear courtyard. I found the Wi-Fi to be really good and I was able to get a lot of work done since the place is really quiet and peaceful. The breakfast that comes with the dorm stay is incredible! I didn't try the pancakes but I loved the muesli and the eggs with tomato/onions and beans on the side. Everything was fresh and freshly made. The bathrooms were super nice, well-designed, and very clean (I am a stickler for bathrooms). I couldn't be happier with my dorm stay here!
