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.).

SwitzerlandApart from the location being a bit far off Guatapé itself and the Wifi being on and off, what I really struggle to understand is why they're blasting the whole common area (hence the pool area with all the sunchairs) with reggaeton music all afternoon so loudly that probably even your old deaf grandparents living on the other side of the lake could hear it 😅 Honestly Viajero, WHY? The place is so beautiful and would be such a relaxing spot - still the only place you can relax during the day is your bed or the co-working area and even there it was still very hearable. I booked it specifically to chill out a bit and would have extended one more night if it wasn't for the afternoon pool party (that hardly anyone seems to attend, so not even great to socialize in my opinion). But who knows, maybe I'm just old 🤷🏻♀️
Dorm- and restaurant-wise it's your typical Viajero, you know what to expect. Beds are clean and comfy, food at the restaurant is decent. It's settled in a beautiful area and they offer a lot of activities (can't rate them as I didn't participate).

AustraliaNot much to complain about. There is a jacuzzi however it wasn’t very hot, just warm.
The private rooms were big, clean with a modern luxurious bathroom. The bar and restaurant have a great selection, and there are many areas to relax in. Fun activities, like jet skiing and kayaking available!

ColombiaThe only thing I can say is that in the large rooms with a jacuzzi, where we stayed, I think there is enough space to have two bathrooms. Since there are two bedrooms, it would be great if each had its own private bathroom.
Everything was wonderful, the party was amazing, and the space overall was very comfortable.

ColombiaIt's still a hostel so sometimes things were not as clean. There was a very heavy smell next to the hot-tub, possibly because drainage was happening there.
The location is amazing, pool and hot tub are great. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The overall vibe of the staff is 5-stars.

United StatesNo self-serve drinking water provided ( the restaurant workers will refill a bottle for you, but this wasn't ideal ). The hostel is not actually located in Guatapé, but the nearby town of El Peñol. It's not very difficult to arrive here by bus + 10 minute walk on the road, but it's not close to any restaurants or shops. The hot tub was not very hot. You have to ask the staff ( sometimes repeatedly ) to turn up the temp to something more comfortable.
Very good dorm beds, with privacy curtains, and personal lamp, shelf and electrical outlet inside. Large shower stall, good water pressure, Hot water as well. It was very quiet after about 11pm, and there was absolutely no road noise. You can get a great night's sleep here and the property is beautiful, amazing view. They offer an affordable 10,000 pesos breakfast option of cereal and milk.

IsraelThe location is a bit far from the main attractions and points of interest, and it can be difficult sometimes to get an Uber there.
The hostel is new, very clean and has great facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The best for me was the view and the tranquility, a great break after the nights in Medellín.

FranceThe lakeside swimming area could be improved - better entry/exit would be appreciated. There were so many people the night of our stay that the bar was a bit overwhelmed. Had to wait 15 minutes to order drinks. But that's a minor issue, the drinks were excellent!
Beautiful views, nice pool/bar. We stayed in a chalet-style room with a jacuzzi. Super!

SwedenNot very vegan friendly but otherwise good but pricey food. Keep in mind that the hostel is around 20 minutes away by car from the mountain and the city Guatapé. They don´t offer any transportation and uber doesn´t work very well. They can call a taxi for you for 50 000 pesos one way so it's quite pricey. If your main reason to come is to see the city and the stone then I would recommend choosing a different accomodation
The views are absolutely stunning. The pool is clean and the jacuzzi is to die for. They offer many activities such as SUP and kayaking. The bar and the restaurant is great. Big thanks to Tatiana for making my stay as pleasant as it was.
