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 kind staff A lot of common space in the hostel (2 kitchens, different places to eat/ hang out)
Beds were really small for two people and really hard and the pillows were really soft and old (in need of replacements), so not comfortable to sleep at all Airco in the room is super loud, so you're not able to use it while sleeping We booked the studio with a patio but were really disappointed with the space and especially the patio Also the patio is connected to another patio from another room, but were not informed about that, and neither were our neighbors, which resulted in them coming home late at night (5AM) and making a lot of noice on the patio and waking us up. It would be better to inform guests that the patios are connected and a lot of noise comes through to prevent these things from happening. Check-in process went really fast and felt a bit rushed, also they did not explain us how the front door worked, we figured it out ourselves but many guests didn't know, which resulted in a lot of people ringing the bell, also during the night, and you can hear the bell also in the rooms. We booked the studio and paid more for this room because we wanted a good rest, but the room/ the hostel did not meet our expectations.

Verified reviewOne of my favorite hostels, I stayed here during my two visits in Cali for a total of 20 days. The staff are so kind and I always felt like I was at home. There are two kitchens and plenty of bathrooms with hot water, so you don’t have to wait to find a free bathroom or place to cook. I enjoyed hanging out in the upstairs terrace. There were quite a few long term travelers here, which says a lot about the quality and vibe of the hostel. Gracias por todo!

Verified reviewReally friendly and available staff. Room big enough, with a fun but it was quiet warm.. it was quiet clean, the entire place was quiet clean. The kitchen is not super furnished and it's fault of people leaving everything around and dirty. Some showers has hot water and others no but good water pressure! Good location, close to restaurants, bars but away from the noise. Bus stop are 2 blocks away, you have little shops around too, you can walk easily to the city center if you want, San Antonio etc.. in general it was a quiet place! There is a great terrace on top with another kitchen. Locker available in the room for small bags.

Verified reviewFair price, good WiFi, kitchen for use, towel included.
I think I was a little put off my the people who checked me in—not super friendly. But the other staff ended up being very kind. I wish the beds had curtains! Laundry service is expensive unless you split it with someone—then it’s manageable.

Verified reviewGreat location about 15 min walk from the san antonio neighborhood, alameda market, dance schools, and clubs. Staff was very friendly and the hostel had a great social vibe with many people staying long term. I originally booked 2 nights and stayed for over a week! I would definitely stay here again
there were sometimes fruit flies in the kitchen

Verified reviewReally chill place. I had a great time chilling in hammock in a private room and equally, meeting people alongside the friendly staff.
There’s a kitchen on both floors so it is likely you’ll never see everyone.
