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.).

United StatesEverything is great although a bit far away from Montanita Square but totally worthy .
This is my second time staying at this hostel. I invited my brother to join me in this trip, he felt in love with the hostel, he will be back to stay again. Jackson and the rest of the staff made it so comfortable like you are at home. Love the relaxing vibe, the property, the garden, the bed was super comfy! The AC was strong cold, perfect for the high temperatures. They accommodated me with my allergy food (gluten-free) breakfast. I also fully enjoyed the Yin yoga class that I attended, amazing calming and relaxation for my nervous system. Definitely coming back and totally recommended.

GermanyIt’s a bit more pricey than other places in Montañita. Same goes for the surf lessons. If you’re on a budget but still want to stay here, maybe check out some surf schools in town or in Olón.
Beautiful hostel! It has many cute places to sit and chill, and a reasonably well equipped kitchen. The yoga space is to die for (as are the courses)! The breakfast: yum! This hostel attracts adult travelers, meaning: it’s not a party hostel, but definitely one to meet interesting people and socialise over a couple of drinks. I had a wonderful time! The location is also great, close to the beach and quiet, yet the busy part of Montañita is just a few minutes‘ walk away.

United KingdomOnly thing that would be great is perhaps mosquito nets. But thats not a problem with repellent.
Really friendly vibe, and decorated really well. Its a gem of a place, and a lot of love and creativity makes it unique. Wish I had stayed longer to check out the yoga classes.

New ZealandPerfect location, 50m from the beach - near the best surf in Montanita and in the quiet part of the town. Super friendly and accommodating staff, very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and some of the best yoga I have practiced. I met some amazing people here too. I extended my stay, twice. 10/10

GermanyThe kitchen could be a bit better equipped (especially in this price category). But for simple food its enough.
I loved the relaxed vibe, the really good Yoga classes and so many hammocks to chill. Into town its just a 5min bike ride or a 15min beach walk, so close enough if you want to go party and far enough to have a good sleep.In the evenings you always find people heading for dinner. I had my very first female surf teacher with Shae. She could exactly identify what I am struggling with, explained very clear how I can improve and worked with me on that. So all in all: Good place to do some vacation from travelling :)

RussiaAbsolutely quiet beautiful hotel just fue steps from the beach. Yoga was awesome, people even more. When you’re coming by bus, go out in supermarket Tia and take taxi for 2 dollars. After all you can take a bike and walk everywhere. There are nice walk to Olon viewpoint and to Olon beach, don’t miss it as well.

The friendly staff, the tasty breakfast which was different every morning. The social areas and atmosphere of the place is great. Yoga classes, surf lessons, board rentals and bikes available. Good location and distance away from the night club music. We made some amazing friends at this hostal and it has been our most memorable stay and we were sad to leave.

GermanySome hooks to hang a towel in the bathroom would be great. Neighbor's dog barking in the middle of the night, but that's not the Hostels fault.
Really nice place, friendly staff, spacious dorm with comfy beds and mosquito nets, nice outdoor area. Really good breakfast! Yoga classes everyday for 9 $. Quiet at night, because it's not directly in the center of Montañita, but still in 10 min walking distance. Free bike rental as well. Loved it there!
