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 staff is very nice, caring and they fixed some of the things that were lacking in the room when I arrived. The whole hostel is cute and nice and they do make an effort to make us feel comfortable. Rooms need to be spruced up. Decent hangers and shelves/drawers for clothes are essential. The view form the back courtyard is awesome. Also nice to do some work during the daytime, if you're working.
walls are very thin and you can hear other guests all the time. Especially if they're loud. It's set in one of the main streets wall to wall with restaurants that make a lot of noise until 11pm/midnight on weekends. It's not the hostel that is loud. Staff are great and respectful On the side note: Salento is very very loud. Like nobody respects silent times. Not even the church that pays loud Ave Maria and cheesy songs from 6am. I'd say a stay away from the main square would be advisable,

Verified reviewCute, old house. Has a lot of charm. The room was very affordable and in the middle of the center.
The room was not so well isolated. You can hear the neighbours and streets outside. For us it was not really a big issue.

Verified reviewthe location was great (about 9 minutes walk from the bus station & 1 minute walk to the main square, so very near cafes, restaurants, shops / ATM. Towels provided. we were a group of 4 and given a full 8 bed dorm to ourselves, so we had lots of space. the hostel is nice and quiet as it is run by a family. there is a fridge you can use. However, there are no other kitchen facilities. showers and toilets were cleaned regularly
the building itself is a little old and there is quite a bit of street noise from cars & roosters however most buildings In salento appear similar.

Verified reviewGood location near main square, big room, really nice views from back of property. Good value and pretty quiet.
No communal kitchen to use. Also felt a little like we were intruding on the owner's family home and we didn't feel really welcome there.

Verified reviewVery nice owner that is super helpful and flexible. Also very well-priced. Plus, the views from the garden are amazing. You shouldn’t expect a luxurious stay, but the price, owner and view make up for it.
Make sure you receive a lock and keys upon arrival. We did not get these and were locked out one evening.
