What kind of place is this?
“Hostal” does not always mean hostel. This Booking-only property may be a private-room guesthouse or small hotel, with no confirmed dorm setup.
Suspicious-review evidence

Explain how it works
We compare every 5★ review's word count against the global distribution. Hostels where unusually many top-rated reviews are suspiciously short — way under the typical length — start to look like the staff (or a boost-my-listing service) is padding the score with throwaway praise.
The detector flags reviews that are both top-rated and below a length threshold, then estimates how many of them statistically shouldn't exist. For this hostel we scanned 679 top-rated reviews and 1% were suspiciously short.
Length z-score: 8.60. A z-score measures how far this hostel's distribution of 5★ review lengths sits from the global average, in standard deviations. 0 = perfectly typical. 1–2 = slightly unusual but within normal noise. 3–5 = strongly anomalous. Anything 10+ means the pattern is so far from the global norm that it's effectively impossible to get there organically.
This is a heuristic, not a verdict — it surfaces hostels worth a second look, not proof of fraud. Read the actual reviews below and judge for yourself.

Pressure to leave a review
asked for a good review
It's central They offered to help me and my uncle because I am disabled but for they asked for a good review as a favour. Finally,the help at the door never came because the guardian couldn't go out . However, they kept texting me in a what's app group about every movement, when we came from ,when we checkout. The door of the bathroom is not working. Is not broken. There is not hand lotion or soap. The internet kept stucking one day before our departure and they seemed not happy at all to help with that issue. I wouldn't recommend it
