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 KingdomThe staff seem to exert limited control over the guests, on one of the nights at 2am one of the guest (drunk) claimed her bed was too uncomfortable and then set about moving her stuff out into another room by turning all the lights on and shouting, the staff member on the desk did nothing to stop this and allowed the chaos. it also probably isnt he best hostel if you want to meet people, alot of people are couples looking for a cheaper night than a hotel or digital nomads who are working most of the time. the location is also not ideal as it is on the edge of the touristy (safer) neighbourhood.
The hostel is very professionally run and the bed/compartments are very nice and gives you the extra space you dont normally get in a hostel.

GermanyThe bed was really hard, but that's my intention.
The "boxes" in the dorms you are sleeping in are amazing. You have your own space and privacy, and even in a 12 bed dorm you don't mention much from the others. The rooms and the bathrooms were really clean. It's placed in Getsemaní and you can reach the port or the Castillo by 10 minutes walking.

ColombiaEverything was good.
Despite the fact, that the locker in my bunk bed was trapped, and sometimes I got piss off because it was hard getting my things out, I can say it was a good room, and each bed has its own curtain so it was good to have some privacy.

SpainThe room/capsule is very small, there is only 1 toilet in a room of 18 beds. The toilets and showers outside the room are not very comfortable. There is not hot water, even if it's so hot that u don't really need it. Getsemaní is a very good location to stay, the hostel is situated on the last road of the area and a night can be dangerous, i didn't feel safe.. One block inside it would have been perfect.
The hostel is nice, good vibe, staff and breakfast. The capsule/room is a good option as it's very private, even is it's very small.

AustriaThe idea of the beds is really good, BUT if you are over 1,80m you won’t have space in that bed, it’s just to short. Our doublebed was directly next to the street, it was sooo loud. The aircon was on top of us, we were freezing at night. There is not really an atmosphere. I did not sleep well.
The Location is amazing, I would prefer staying here over centro. The free salsa class was really good!! Staff is nice!

ColombiaThe mosquitoes, but I think it’s just a consequence of having an outdoor space. Bring bug spray!
a great mix of indoor and outdoor space. I loved how the rooms had the pods instead of regular bunk beds. You felt more privacy even in a shared space. I worked remote for an entire week (40hrs) and it was great. The WiFi was strong and consistent throughout. There wasn’t much noise during the day so I was able to work without distraction.

United StatesI wasn't a huge fan of the lobby being all outdoors after walking around all day but I did enjoy the space and that it was immersive to the environment. I don't believe the A/C worked one night. Quite hot but fine. My sheets weren't the cleanest looking.
The privacy of the beds with the shade. The sound insulation in the room from the music in the lobby. Private bathroom. A/C in bedrooms. Simple breakfast provided and open kitchen.

FranceIt didn't seem to be a very social place. The cubes don't allow for a lot of interactions and the patio has several small tables, which doesn't let people interact too much
The cubes to sleep in are very spacious and comfortable, the AC in the rooms is much appreciated, cause it's very hot in Cartagena. The location and the property itself are also nice.
