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 reviewJulieth and Hector are wonderful hosts, anything we needed they could provide and they helped us to plan our coffee tour and trip to cocora valley. The location is perfect, in a quiet street just off the main square and surrounded by nature. Our cooking class with Fernando and Paola was the absolute highlight and I would recommend this to everyone who comes to salento!
The basement rooms are good for staying cool in the day but there are no windows.

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfortable. The hostel is away from the noisy streets.
The room we stayed was super humid. Nothing got dried. Even the dry clothes felt damp after some time. On our last day we wanted to drop our bags and go to the fincas but we ended up going around with our bags as the owner of the hostel would be outside when we needed to take the bags. If he's outside, there's nobody to help you. The hostel is at a very quiet place but very early in the morning we woke up because the owner of the place was talking very loudly with other guests.

Verified review- Hot shower -
There is nothing specifically wrong with the place. But it needs to be precised that there is no windows in the room which make it quite smelly (a lot of humidity inside, none of our clothes could dry in 3 days). The room is downstairs which make it really dark and gives you a feeling of being trapped. Also, we couldnt pay by card, only Cash, which wasnt notified anywhere. So if you have cash and where planning of keeping it for all the beautiful excursions around the city it force you to go get cash out (and loose money because of the bad rate of the ATM)

Verified reviewWe loved the house, the decorations, the beds were comfortable.
We didn’t like the steep ramp to get to the house. However, overall it’s a great place to stay.

Verified reviewThe location is great: close to the main square but far enough away not to be bothered by any noise. The family that owns the place is super lovely and always willing to help. The room was decorated nicely, clean, and we even got some fresh towels on the third day.
The room was quite moist (I don't know if this was because of Salento's humidity, or the fact that the room was in a basement). Towels wouldn't dry, clothes started to smell, and there was a bit of mold. But not sure this can be avoided.

Quite a quiet Hostel, maybe a busy one back in the day. However the town centre is nearby for more atmosphere. Also thin walls.

Verified reviewIngrid and Hector were extremely nice and accommodating during our stay. Ingrid had a lot of information regarding activities in the area. The hostel is hidden in nature and very secluded from the center of Salento. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The private room is on the lower floor and has a beautiful view of nature.
The walls and floors are a little thin so you could hear people talking outside or in the other rooms. the private room is underneath the stairs so you could hear people walk up and down.

Verified reviewIt was very quiet, so we were able to have a food sleep. It's close to the plaza and some nice restaurants and cafes. The staff was very nice and super helpful with tips and booking transport.
Was a bit tiring to get in/out as the entrance it's a bit of a hill. The room only had a window facing a corridor, so it wasn't well ventilated. Room could have been a bit cleaner. The room is not insulated, so you can hear if people is talking loudly around.
