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 reviewThe property is so clean! we saw staff maintaining cleanliness from the moment we arrived. The views are amazing. The reception staff are incredible - especially Valentina and Jefer! When we arrived Valentina gave us a warm welcome and ensured that we knew everything about the property and the tours that were available. We changed rooms the next day to a private and met Jefer and he was so kind and helpful. He let us know our room was ready early so we could check in and he insisted on helping with the bags! We really recommend this hostel for its great staff! Viajero is such a great chain, we have stayed in other Viajeros also and the staff are always super!

Verified reviewI've been on many hostels and tjis is for sure one of the best ones I've ever been, even tho I had a private room this time. The standard duble room is nice, clean and has a balcony with good view. The restaurant offers food and good breakfast, which unfortunately is not included. It's not a party hostel, still the atmosphere is great and easy to get in tpuch with people. I had a great saty!
It's still a hostel, not a hotel. The doors are thin and in general everything is quite hear-trough. Especially in the morning this can be annoying, as the chill area is just in front of the private rooms. Breakfast and food are quite pricy.

Verified reviewThe people and the hangout areas. If you want to meet people and conversation it’s super easy with all the activities. If you just want to mind your own business you can relax in one of the chairs facing the mountains and a beverage of choice.
Love this! That’s exactly the vibe we go for — whether you’re feeling social or just want to chill with a view and a drink in hand. Thanks for sharing, and we’d love to have you back anytime! 😊

Verified reviewI stayed at Viajero Salento for three weeks and had a fantastic experience. The private rooms are spacious and offer stunning views of the mountains. The team was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Special thanks to Maya and the entire reception team for making everything so comfortable and enjoyable.
Here are a couple of areas that could be improved. The common areas are located near many of the rooms, so that it can get quite noisy at times.. Also, the kitchen equipment could use an upgrade - the pots and pans were very worn out and almost unusable. Replacing them with stainless steel options would be a big improvement over the current Teflon ones.
Hola Ina Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We’re really happy you had a fantastic three weeks with those mountain views and that our team made you feel right at home—Maya and the crew will be thrilled to hear that. We totally get what you mean about the noise and kitchen gear; we’re working on making those upgrades soon. Hope to see you again for another great stay!

Verified reviewThe hostel is just minutes away from the main square in a very calm area, yet super close to restaurants, bars, supermarket. Highlight is having breakfast overlooking the mountain. It’s very easy to meet and connect with people to do activities with.
The room was a bit cold at night due to the humidity in Salento (I visited in August) but I could get extra blanket at the reception. Pack some layers.
Thanks for the great tips! Glad you enjoyed the mountain views and how easy it was to meet people. Good call on the extra blanket—definitely a must when it gets chilly here, especially in August. Hope to see you again for another awesome stay!

Verified reviewThe staff is really nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and have many hangers. The outside area is lovely and there are lots of activities to socialize.
A very minor thing but there are not a lot of covered or inside communal spaces so if it’s raining or cold, there’s not a lot of places to hang out.
Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re glad you loved the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the fun social vibes outside. Totally get what you mean about the covered spaces—definitely something we’re thinking about to make things cozier when the weather’s not on our side. Hope to see you again soon!

Everything was great. I missed here and in other places mores gluten-free options in their restaurants. But other than that everything was amazing.
Thanks a ton for the kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the views and our friendly team. We totally hear you on the gluten-free options and are working on adding more. Hope to see you back soon for another amazing stay!
