How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewReally good vibe in an amazing spot. Staff were friendly and a great way to meet other travellers.
Could have been another shower/bathroom. There’s no pictures of the private rooms so a bit of a lottery which one you get.

Verified reviewThis is my third time. Love Orlando & co. The owners. But it's a beautiful house, turned into a hostel, so it can get crowded. Best time to be there is off season. A+.

Verified reviewIt was interesting to be hosted in what used to be a luxurious local house. It was very enjoyable and made the stay very unique. I also had a great time and the staff was always present to make sur everything was fine. They were genuine people and heartfelt people, I definitely would have stayed longer
Maybe the pillows were a bit too flat and the mattress was hard and noisy, but i still had great night of sleep

Verified reviewWow, the staff is really friendly and makes you feel like home!! We liked the location. Its a calm and a local area. Its easy to reach other areas with public transfer.
Be aware that the private rooms are really basic (no window and small) but due the price its fair.

Verified reviewFirst of all is the neighborhood, Laureles is perfect for walking. It could be called El Jardin (The Garden) it's that beautiful and warm, often with a cool breeze. The location of the hostel is convenient to shops, restaurants and cafes.

Verified reviewThis place has a lot to offer. The location is great and the staff are very friendly. Hot water and good WiFi too!
I checked out 2 nights early as the beds are ridiculously uncomfortable! I have travelled around the world and these were quite unbearable. This is also not a problem but might be something to consider it you are a solo traveller- lots of people stay here long term so it was difficult to meet anyone. Also there was a broken window in my room which let in loads of mosquitoes.

Really dirty. Bed sheets not cleaned from previous private room occupant. Bed horribly uncomfortable and so noisy it was difficult to sleep.

Verified reviewPerfect location and super friendly staff. The hostel is peaceful and the staff makes sure it stays that way, which is nice. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook a decent meal. The bathroom is also spacious and everything is very clean! I felt very at home here.
Our private 2 person room didn't have a window, so it got very hot at night. Luckily there's a fan in the room, but if you're a light sleeper I wouldn't recommend this room because of that. The shower didn't always get warm, but I feel like that's a thing in all ho(s)tels in Colombia. If you take a shower early in the morning, it does get warm.

Verified reviewBest hostel in 7 months backpacking: - location: in a calm street in a great fun neighborhood, and the hostel is right in front of a police station... so super calm, super safe - The bathroom attached to the room I was in was huge and had a shower and a jacuzzi like bathtub. Kitchen fairly well equipped, common area available, Orlando the manager is a super cool dude speaking perfect English. Hostel super calm at night. It really deserves nothing but love. Awesome value for its money
