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...).

Shower pressure was a bit low. The gate is always locked and you don't have a key so you always need to ring the bell.
Very good value for money. Good location. Spacious. Had a TV.

It's a small hotel with just a few rooms. The common area is very basic. This is a great place to get a good night's sleep and a good rest. It is not a hostel or a social place at all. Only other comment would be that Popayán historic center is quite small; not a lot to see and 1-2 days is plenty. I visited at the end of June and many of the businesses and some museums were closed until August, it seems. But that's not the property's fault; they offer an excellent service.
Very clean, very comfortable, Quiet at night and nice music played at perfect relaxed volume during the daytime. The staff were kind and friendly. The location is great, only a couple blocks from the main plaza. Safe and secure. Hot water in the shower, towels and soap provided, TV worked no problem. Coffee and tea provided all day. The windows face the courtyard, not the street, and you can close the shutters and the curtain and sleep really well in the dark.

Nothing. Everything was good.
Everything. Especially the lady owner who is kind and went out of her way to be helpful. She booked a guide for us to Sylvia market and he was excellent. Did our laundry rapidly. Suggested places to eat. Ordered a take out for us on our second night. The rooms are good, clean and spacious. Very central in the Centro historico. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The Epiphany festival.limited our tourist activities but that was no fault of the accommodations.
Reception was wonderful. Nidia was polite, generous, and accommodating. The hostel was very secure with 24 hour locked entry. The surrounding area was safe although the Epiphany festival was somewhat intimidating. That is finished now.

Water was warm although not hot. It was better than cold water though!
I had a lovely stay here! I just wanted a comfortable place to stay while on my way to Ecuador and this place 100% served my needs. The host was very friendly, the location was good near the city center, the wifi worked well, laundry (10,000cop + 2,000cop for detergent) only took 1 day, other housemates were kind, and the room was as described. I didn't work from here, but I saw others using their computers in the common area so you should be able to work from here. I also greatly appreciated the host finding a hair dryer for me! She went above and beyond with that. Thanks!

Water bottle refills would be handy. Not room-related, but I would pick a day other than Sunday to visit Popayan as almost everything was closed, so there wasn't much to do in town.
Very comfortable room, good for sleep, and lovely host - very friendly and patient with my limited Spanish. Coffee was provided in the morning. Not far from main square.
