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.).

SpainReception desk could be more friendly. I sometimes felt that I am asking questions that they do not wanna be help with. It was not easy to have the 'friendly' vibe from them.
Our room was set in the corner side of the building and I would say we were lucky:) The view of the hostel is stunning.. We were staying in the room w/ balcony so we had a chance to watch the sunrise from our balcony however it is possible to have this view from any part of the hostel. The service of the bar for bfast or any other meals was on time always. As most of the people were quite early to be able to run for the tours they book, bfast times were very crawded and the service team could handle it. Hostel crew deserves points as they were eager to connect people in the hostel especially with the social events they organize. The location of the hostel is great; can be counted within the center but calm enough to be with the nature when needed.

SwitzerlandThe hostel has everything you need including a large area, where you can social with other travelers. What really stood out for me was the staff: Valen and Oscar from the reception team do an exceptional job and not only provided me with great tips but also let me practice my spanish with them. Same applies for Helena which happens to clean my dorm - her warm and welcoming personality really made my day and my stay at Viajero Salento very special - Muchas gracias, nos vemos!

NetherlandsThe noise from the street is too much. My room was next to the parking lot. Even with personalized earplugs plus noise canceling headphones in I heard the screaming and whistles. Note: It’s not during night time.
Location 10/10, close to the city, bars/restaurants walking distance and amazing view. Especially the view is worth staying here.

United StatesNo complaints, everything was great
It'e been a good few years since I stayed in a hostel but I loved Viajero in Salento, I had one of the private views which had incredible views over the valley. I booked it mainly to meet new people and Dani Ella did an amazing job with different events in the hostel and the guest Whatsapp group. Overall a really well run hostel in a great location

ColombiaWhen they go 'head over heels' for foreigners from USA and Europe, why they not do that to others like me. They charged me some tax as I had a cedula ID. I stayed three nights in Salento, and other two properties(including Él Rancho', didn't charge me that, but these guys charge me extra for that, and I am actually a foreigner also :-). And, we stayed in independent room and not some bunk beds. So it costed a lot overall. Once in Jardin, a property took my passport softcopy and didn't charged me at all. But the gentleman with laptop at reception told us that - they make sure that the traveler visa is within 90 days less or something, and since I've cedula he will charge us. Not good, when others are not doing so. So, a bogus way to cheat money for sure. Another thing, the noise after 7:30PM is so loud that you can hear it inside the closed doors of the first room next to the restaurant/kitchen area. May be the reason why they give ear-buds in that room. I could clearly hear the constant chatter till late at night from inside. Finally , when you publish Viajero Salento Hostel' online and all over then why not keep the same name at the entrance. When we reached there, it was written in bold - CHAPOLA. Confusing for a new person.
Views were spectacular and sun-set and sun-rise views with those overcast clouds seen on mountain top are breathtaking. In-house restaurant is a bonus with good tasty all continental food, unlike the bland food outside in Salento. 7PM happy hour is also good for dual-cocktails with brazil touch. And, on top of it, very very cheap as well. Sitting area is damn good with views. The place is buzzing with tourists and travelers from all over the map. Very lively place.

Amazing property just a few minutes from the main Square. We were very happy to have found this hostel and wished to stay longer, but they were booked. We were in the private room with a balcony, and it was very worth the extra couple dollars!! They make navigating Salento very easy by providing all the information you could need. Very friendly staff with good English.
