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.).

United StatesThe service at this hostel truly exceeded all expectations. A special shoutout to Benjamin at the front desk—his warm welcome and helpful attitude made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Andres and Daniel at the bar, also Jose from the kitchen brought great energy and hospitality that really elevated the experience. Ok Their combined efforts made a huge impact on my stay. Without a doubt, this is the best hostel in the area

United KingdomLong walk from the bus in Palomino along a dusty road, if no taxi/mototaxi taken. But this means the hostel is right on the beach
Amazing location 1 minute from the beach, super friendly staff, good food. Social, but spread out resort-style so quiet and relaxed. The larger pool is brilliant, and the bar brings happy hour drinks to you in the pool. Room is large and well-decorated. You can easily book activities like the river tubing, and pre-booking taxis is easy and not overpriced.

In the place we can breathe peace. And the food was so delicious. The room was amazing.

United KingdomNoisy location being right next to a lot of bars and one night I couldn’t sleep until 2am. Food wasn’t great but lots of better choices in the town.
Great pool with loads of sun beds. The dorm and private rooms I stayed in both had fans, the dorm had AC. The private room was huge and had a nice bathroom. Location is right on the beach. Sociable with some activities put on by the hostel.

United KingdomI ordered the entrecôte for dinner at the restaurant and it was really over cooked, but my friend ordered a pasta and she really enjoyed that.
The room was gorgeous and such good value for what we had, the balcony with the hammock was lovely, and the shower was good. The bed was nice and big and we had 2 fans. The hostel itself has 2 lovely pools and the pub crawl we did was really fun and only 25COP, including shots at every stop and a short salsa class! The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the hostel is really centrally located, a 1 minute walk to the beach and there are restaurants and bars all around it. Would definitely recommend this place!!

United KingdomThe showers were cold on days without sun since they're powered by solar energy. In three days they never serviced our room and we had only one toilet roll, one tiny shower gel, and one tiny shampoo so we ran out. Surrounding the pool are derelict buildings where they must have run out of money half way.
The bed was super comfortable and super enormous. The air conditioning worked well. The room was really stylish and the pool outside was nice too. The staff at reception were helpful and we liked the free yoga

CanadaIt is in the main party area of town so it was a bit loud at night but with ear plugs, I had no problem sleeping.
The staff and facilities were incredible. They make everything really easy by providing a bracelet to charge your expenses to and so many services offered through the hostel. The pools (there are 2!) are really lovely to lounge by with lots of space for everyone.

United KingdomAwful loud music from next door which went on and on until 3 AM or later. The rules for music in any town need to change and be enforced. It’s a big problem in Colombia which stops a lot of higher value tourism.
Everything. Helpful and charming staff. Excellent restaurant. Attractive pool and gardens.
