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.).

ItalyThe payment options are not the ones reported online, where only credit cards are accepted and cash not allowed. In case of a credit card payment 5% increase is applied and not announced on payment methods.
Good cost-quality ratio. Basic needs satisfied in case of a simple overnight in Palenque

ItalyKitchen is very small and a bit under equipped. They have a very weird rul for which they charge you for using the bathroom or even just charge your mobile after you check out! I found it very weird and first time I hear it. Overall, for what you get, it felt quite overpriced, but I also think that's somehow the average in Palenque.
The location, comfy beds and spacious dorms, very nice staff.

LatviaGood value for money in a very nice, calm area. 3 min to ADO bus station and collectivos for Palenque ruins, city center also very close and restaurants also. Staff was amazing and supported us in everything. We had all what we need and since our bus left very late at the checkout day we spent all the time in the hostel.

AustraliaThe water pressure wasn't great but it was good enough to get clean. I'd recommend putting a mirror in the bathroom, like the downstairs bathroom.
The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. I booked a private room with a bathroom and it was good value for the price I paid.

United KingdomOnly one shared bathroom downstairs by the kitchen. Does have a toilet seat but the toilet and shower are not separate so you have to wait. Sheets, towels and room all smelled damp and sheets has stains. Noise was an issue. Stayed 3 nights and first morning woken at 5.39am by neighbours and next night woken up at 6.10am by new arrivals from the night bus who started playing pool downstairs. You get what you pay for. Shame about sheets, smells and noise or would have been great.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is perfect. Walking distance from ADO Station and a colectivo stop to ruins outside station too. Easy to walk into town and nice neighbourhood. Bedroom was large and bed comfortable. Good wifi. Good value. Kitchen had enough and pool table.

SwitzerlandI don't usually leave negative comments but maybe this will motivate the boss and the manager to improve and provide a better basic service. We had a room without a bathroom (which is quite normal for a hostel) except that there was only one room tomorrow with WC and shower together available. The other separate toilet was broken and we couldn't flush it. The kitchen and its utensils are in a bad state, all pans rusty. The fridge is 40x40 cm for all guests. Finally, he refused to keep our bags for the afternoon (bus at 6pm) even though all the lockers were empty... so we had to pay €10 to the station to keep our bags for 5 hours (price per hour). This is the first time we've been refused this service.
The hostel is very well located and we were provided with towels

Staff was so so lovely! I stayed here for some nights in August and even though the place is semi new, I had a lovely stay and met some truly amazing people in my room! Given the other options in Palenque all charge for hidden extras, in this hostel they don't do that which is a huge plus. Big hello to the staff and I can't wait to return!
