Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

Canadamosquitos :(
The staff are really nice. The hostel is next to the city center with the cathedral, bars, resturants and grocery stores. There is a good kitchen for cooking and it's a decently social hostel with people lounging around the main area. They have an arepa making class Mondays or tuesday nights? Good way to meet people. I got the private room and it was very spacious. Quiet at night and very safe. I would recommend staying here if you can .

United KingdomNothing, this is a great little hostel.
This is a small hostel located 3 blocks off the main square with a small pool in the back yard that is perfect for a dip on the hot days. Loads of useful information provided on notice boards and the owners are always on hand to answer questions and help out. Great value and always clean and hot showers.

BermudaOne improvement I would’ve made is a bigger fan to the dorm room as it was quite warm in the dorm. However, I saw that they were installing that bigger fan the day I checked out!
Extremely good value for money and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen facilities were also great and a nice indoor and outdoor relaxing area. The hosts were also extremely kind and knowledgable about the area.

They were starting renovating the place when I left, so maybe they will also replace the beds?
-6 bed dorm spacious enough -No socket next to every bed, but there were some sockets in the room -Lockers for valuables outside the dorm -Ensuite bathroom in the dorm with toilet + cold shower +another bathroom outside the dorm (also with cold shower) -WiFi worked well (also in the dorm) -Good location: Main Plaza, restaurants, shops and supermarket all within walking distance -You’ll receive a frontdoor key, so you can come and go when you want -Nice rooftop area -Free drinking water+coffee in the morning -Friendly+helpful staff

There's hot water, good quality toiletries, breakfast for a request, fans to cool down and get rid of mosquitos, lots of fun activities, such as making pupusas, cool common area, lots of information about the buses, the nearest shops, etc, lovely cats and a dog, drinkable water, fully equipped kitchen.

United KingdomThe location of the hostel had recently changed so the shuttle bus driver tried to drop me at their old address. I persuaded him to take me to the new address, but we were both perplexed as there was no sign. Google maps was correct but it's difficult to tell it's a hostel from the outside.
Excellent location, close to the main square and a good supermarket. Friendly staff and a nice vibe.
