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):
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.
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.).

UruguayPeople walking around all night, you could hear everything. People chatting loud, staff coming and going very early in the morning. Also, the breakfast was horrible. They tell you from 8am you can get it, we went 8:30 and we had to wait 40 minutes for half a burnt omelette and 2 pastries who were super hard. They didn't give us fruit (which they did to other people as well, but they never even offered us.) We didn't even take the breakfast the second day because it was not worth event tho we had it included.
Location was ok for the day, at night it was a bit sketchy to walk around. The bed was comfy :)

United KingdomOnly 2 showers between a lot of people and the toilets are in the cubicles so no access when showers are in use. We arrived very early as our night bus was 3 hours early so we got there extremely tired at 4am. It was a 24 hour reception so no issue and the guy checked us in fine. Our room was available but we had to nap in a common room for a few hours before day shift staff came on and then we had to pay $20,000 to access the room early. Completely understand we arrived crazy early, but no other hostel in south America has charged for this especially when it was available and ready and no extra work for anyone involved. Already wasn't the cheapest place. A small gripe really, but we were so exhausted so worth noting for night bus travellers like us!
Good hostel, comfy bed.

VietnamThere is hot water but it's not consistent during the day. If you take the shower late evening, it's likely to be very cold. It's not a problem for us but it's good to know. At the weekend, there may be a party on the rooftop so it can be a bit loud.
Location is very good. Staff is friendly and nice.

Really nice place with good staff, great rooftop with bar where you can relax in the evening. No issues with storing luggage. Although we spent only one night it was really nice and spacious place. Breakfast was included - fruits and scrambled eggs.

JamaicaI don't think this Hostel is to be blamed fully for this, as I believe it is an overall shift in the culture of Hostel Travel, but it wasn't very social at the location. There wasn't that much to do, and the common areas were a bit underwhelming. I had a private apartment, and the door was a bit flimsy, to be honest, and my window had to have the shade drawn 24/7 as it was directly facing a hallway that people were constantly walking by. My room also had no ventilation, so it got kinda snuffy in there, especially my bathroom. It was about 2 days after I arrived that I got around to understanding how my included breakfast worked i.e. you go on the roof, sit and wait until the chef acknowledges you, not to bash it or anything, but I just would have rather some structure and knowledge beforehand of how things worked.
The location is perfect in the La Candelaria area, I was always just a few minutes walk away from a nice restaurant or museums. Uber had no issues navigating to and from the location as well, so that's nice. I was able to walk from there to the entrance of Monserrat with ease. Overall, a good value for your money, I suppose.

GermanyAll in all I had a nice stay. I stayed in a private room for 3 nights. My room was big and I liked the charme in the room. The only down side which was quiet tiring was the street outside, so it was really noisy in the room at all times. Staff was nice. Breakfast was made with love and effort.

NetherlandsA sturdier door and lock would have been nice.
Lovely hostel in a historical building, with original architectural features. Staff is helpful and check in is fast.The rooftop terrace was perfect, and the al fresco breakfast was lovely with early spring weather. The set breakfast is fairly basic but as it was included in the price, nice to start the day with. The single room I stayed in was simple but comfortable, no outside window but perfect for my needs. The location of the hostel is excellent, with easy access to touristy area. There's a minimart next door for simcards, water and cookies and stuff, on the other side is a small snackbar offering empanadas and other snacks. It's within walking distance from the Monserratte cable car, lots of restaurants around, Botero museum and Gold Museum nearby. Would absolutely stay here again, both at this hostel and this area.

United StatesWe had a private room, but a few basic amenities were missing, such as no hooks to hang your towel or jacket. It would also be great to have a bath mat so you don't get the floor wet.
Breakfast was delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooftop bar is the highlight of the place, so much fun! They had great mojitos, music, and a lively atmosphere. Great location to walk everywhere.
