Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomJust that it gets really hot in the common areas and the bathroom. But that’s it.
Probably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, super spacious, very very clean, it had a kitchen, big bathroom, spacious table where you could eat dinner with everyone. Also, the rooms were great - privacy curtains, soft sheets and pillow, towel. I was really happy with my stay here. Aircon gets turned on in the room during the evenings. Great location, walking distance to Santa Marta Marina, restaurants, shops etc.. Finally, the staff were really lovely, they organised a taxi to come pick us up early in the morning so they were always happy to help!

GermanyIt’s about one block outside the main area with all the shops and restaurants but that was fine with me.
I came to Distrito Hostel because the hostel I had booked originally was extremely dirty and uncared for - Distrito Hostel was immensely clean, has a huge bathroom, is generally a nice space, they had a cute kitten and also the guests were respectful. The bunk beds have curtains and lockers, which was good

CanadaGreat hostel. The staff was excellent, everyone was very helpful and especially Michael who was a wealth of knowledge about tourist information. The hostel is modern, beds are comfortable, the kitchen is very good as well as the Wifi. It is one of the few places I have stayed where there are cleaning people working day and night to make sure the place is always well maintained.

SwitzerlandThe property itself was ok. What deeply concerns me is the taxi transfer they organized for me, which was a complete rip-off. They know about it and they don’t do anything about it! I asked for a taxi from the market (where the bus from Tayrona arrives), as I came back later at night. I also asked for the price in advance. They told me they would not know and it would be according to taxometer. Of course the taxometer „did not work“. The driver wanted 30‘000 COP from me, which is almost the price I paid for a private transfer from Santa Marta airport to my first hotel. I told him I would not pay more than 10‘000 COP, which I still think is too high for this short distance. Since I only had a 20bill I asked him for change. He just took the money and threatened me with the police. Complete rip-off plus being threatened by a taxi organized by this hostel. This is a complete No-Go!
Good location for one night, next to the bus stop for transfer to Cartagena.
