How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 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 them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThis was my second stay at this hostel—my first was almost 9 years ago! It’s a super social place without being a full on party place and the location is great too. The room and bed is really comfortable, and the whole place is spotless. The staff are always friendly and helpful, just like last time. Plus, the beers are cheap, which is always a bonus!

Verified reviewWell located in Poblado, a smart end of town. The metro is in easy walking distance as are a couple of nice little restaurants and supermarkets close by..The South Bus Station is a short taxi ride away. The neighbourhood is safe and leafy green. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice on where to go and what to do. There are different common areas to meet fellow travelers or to sit quietly and relax. There's a good kitchen if you want to cook. I ended up staying here much longer than planned. It's great.
All good, really. I enjoyed everything.

Verified reviewStaff were super lovely, kitchen was decent (although some of the hob rings didn’t work very well!), location felt very safe and there were lots of different areas to chill out in. Beds were comfy and room I was in (6 bed dorm) was a decent size with lots of lockers and a nice bathroom. Hostel was very social but felt like there were areas I could hide away in if I felt like I didn’t want to socialise.
Only 1 small fan in the room so bedroom was pretty warm at night

Verified reviewA very social hostel with a nice kitchen, located in a safe area not too far from supermarkets and restaurants. Receptionists were awesome and very friendly!! Easily one of the best hostels I stayed at during my 9 week trip through Colombia :)
No curtains for the bunk beds.
thanks Elin. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Patio Bonito is a real nice area away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything. I am slowly working on getting curtains etc on dorm room beds. Kelvin

Verified reviewReally comfortable beds (private room) and good sized, clean kitchen. Great communal areas including rooftop and sofa area.
Little walk from the main area of Poblado and also we found it to be a little less social than we expected
