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 474 top-rated reviews and 1% were suspiciously short.
Length z-score: 5.59. 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.

Reward tied to a review
refund as this experience has been utterly unacceptable. A detailed review
NOTHING!! The issues are numerous: The room was not clean, with dirty marks everywhere and of dead mosquito marks on the walls. There was no table or chair, which is a basic necessity for any hotel room. The beds were the wrong size, and they squeaked with every movement. The pillows were not suitable for a restful night. The linen and quilts were inadequate for the cold weather, especially with outside temperatures reaching 1°C. The TV was a tiny 30cm screen. The toilet lacked proper ventilation, and the ceiling was peeling due to humidity. Also we noticed a stranger tried to come in the hotel not having a code Hotel feels not safe We can provide photographic evidence of these conditions and strongly urge Booking.com to inspect the property. We expect a full refund as this experience has been utterly unacceptable. A detailed review will be posted immediately. For sure not a ewropian standard 2 star hotel!! knock down the place and build a new one it s worst then a prison cell
