Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

RomaniaThe fumes from the main road came into our room. They burn plastic on a BBQ so the fumes from the plastic are in the air. This is typical in this country though, we think. There are a lot of mosquitos there. There is no drinking water available for guests to drink so you have to carry heavy bottles from the shops which is a problem if you dont have transport. They brought us some when we asked though, which we paid for. Limited equipment available in the kitchen so it is difficult to cook if anyone else is making food at the same time & only 2x saucepans *& no kettle & the machine doesnt have a jug so you cant use it. Booking.com shows the 2 types of double room with exactly the same listing information, so we booked the cheaper one thinking we had a private bathroom. This caused a problem on arrival as they did not wish to include a private bathroom, but agreed to in the end. Our arrival was very stressful because of the issue with the booking & we were 15 minutes early. Only the house keeper was there & she only speaks Spanish so it was a 3-way conversation with us, her & the owner via her phone, after a long journey for us. No tourist information at all.
We could walk there from the bus station. There was a kitchen to use. The hostel brought us water on request but they dont provide it for guests. They lent me a yoga mat on request which was great. They listened to my requests & tried to help with everything. They have created a lovely space with bright fresh paint & lots of plants in pots. The vehicle parked on our patio was moved on request. They gave us an extra comfy chair to use on request. There is a papusa restaurant there in the evening. The staff were all kind & helpful & easy going.

FranceThere is no filtred water. We had to ask twice for the second towels.
Good price for a clean hostal. Avoid room 9 because it is in front of showers/toilets and closed to the kitchen, so we didn’t have privacy and quiet.

United KingdomKitchen a little small for so many guests and not very well equipped
We stayed in a room with private bathroom and thought it was very good value for money! Big room, our own little terrace outside the room, no air con but an industrial sized fan so that was ok! The woman who checked us in and did our laundry was so friendly. Also lots of pupuserias around - cheap delicious street food that we ate daily!!

United KingdomThe shops nearby were closed on a Sunday and we really needed some water so we asked if they sold it. They sold us a small 500ml bottle for $1 which was a bit of a rip off. One of the toilets wouldn't flush properly so this caused problems.
Amazing value for money! The staff are so friendly and helpful. They change your bedding and towels EVERY day which is very rare and clean your room. The location is just a 20 minute walk to town but very close to markets, restaurants (the best papusa place just 2 blocks away). The bus station is just a short walk and it's also really close to where you catch the bus for the volcano, Rutas de las Flores and to San Salvador so it's perfect really. It's not the most social of hostels, but it does have two tables so you can make it work.
