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 reviewGreat location in a quiet and friendly hostel. Luisa, the manager of the hostel, is the kindest person and really made me feel at home. I felt so welcomed and cared for. Good wifi. The dorms are clean and tidy, as is the rest of the hostel. Hot water in the shower.

Verified reviewVery good value for money. Staff extremely friendly, tasty and nutritious breakfasts. You may encounter water problems, but don't blame the hostel for them. It just happens in Bogotá.

Verified reviewThe hostel is in an excellent location in the heart of Candelaria, within walking distance of museums, shops, restaurants and conveniently located near the start of walking/cycling tours. The included breakfast was a great start to the day. The staff Michael and Karen were very attentive and helped with everything from booking airport taxis to getting laundry done etc. There's also a hostel dog called Mike Tyson who is a lovely addition but also a great guard dog.

Verified reviewLocation is the best. Close to the noise hub but around the corner so it’s quiet and relaxing. The bed is comfy particularly in the cold evening in Bogota. One of the staff let me borrow his card. I bought another one eventually but it’s still very nice of him.
Common space is small.

Verified reviewThe staff were welcoming and friendly. The hostel is very vibrant and decorated beautifully. The bed was very warm and comfy, and the breakfast was basic but very good. The location is a stone throw away from the vibe of Candelaria.

Verified reviewGreat location.
Everything seemed to be broken, doorhandles, the lock to our room meaning we couldn't lock it at all. The shower and toilets are downstairs so not super convenient and the shower isn't hot.

Verified reviewThis place is very good, great location and clean rooms. However, they tried to screw us up a couple times with the prices: first of with the rooms then with beers and the bottles of water, and last but not the least with laundry. They pretended their scale unit was kg but it was actually lb… which means we paid roughly double the price. Long story short, it is a great place but watch out!

Verified reviewThis must have been the cutest hostel we stayed in, everything is super colorful with lots of places to chill. The family running the hostel is incredible forthcoming and friendly. When we were there it didn't have too many guests, but we imagine it would probably have a social vibe.

Verified reviewThe location of the hostel is perfect, right next to the city center which is a must visit of Bogotá. Inside, I found the beds quite comfortable and warm, with sockets for everyone. There's hot shower and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The staff was nice and in general the place has a good vibe :)
The wifi keeps failing, so I wouldn't recommend the hostel to whoever is working or in general need to use the internet (I had data so it wasn't a problem). The soundproofing inside is quite poor as well: if you're sensitive to noise, you'll probably fall asleep with the last one going to bed and waking up with the first few people having breakfast. Paying with card applies and extra fee of 5% to the price, which I discovered leaving rushing to the airport. This could be stated on the hostels conditions (before booking). The breakfast is not very rich, which is generally how it goes in low-cost hostels across Colombia.
