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 StatesI am a solo traveler I stayed in a female dorm of 6 beds and it was very small and tight on space. The bed was very hard and after my 3 night stay my back and neck started to hurt. The environment of the hostel was off I didn’t connect with anyone and unfortunately spent most of my time alone I don’t recommend to stay here if you are looking to find people to hang out it as a solo traveler it was hard to find other people to have a conversation with everyone was either working or kept to themselves in small groups. Thus I did not find the environment to be very friendly or warm. Restaurant is very basic. I would pass and find a local restaurant to eat at.
The property has an incredible view of nature the landscape is breath taking. It’s clean , kitchen is fully equipped and the common outdoor areas are very nice. The location is great about a 6 minute walk to the town center and far enough from the busy street so it’s quiet at night. The staff is helpful as I asked for a few recommendations and they provided with great suggestions!

United StatesThe bunks were not very practical- if you’re on the top bunk and the person below you had their light on it shines up in to your bunk through the sides where your items can also easily fall through. They supply you with one very thin pillow and a very thin sheet as well which would be fine except it gets very cold at night.
Great location, friendly staff, many activities organized. Beautiful property with a nice bar and kitchen that had very reasonable prices. Great place for solo travelers that want to socialize and meet others.

United KingdomThe window was on the road so we couldn’t leave it open (by window I mean shutters, there was no actual glass) The bathroom was straight out of the 50s and had no warm water at all. The bed was hard as rock. The food was mediocre at best.
Nice views.

Views from the rooms and bar are amazing to thé mountains. Beds are comfy and they have hot shower, not very stable but it’s okay for our needs. Super Nice network if you want to do activités outside the hostel or inside and meet people.

NetherlandsMy reservation was incl. Breakfast, but with checking in, they told me I have to pay 18.000 (€5) per breakfast… Also I really enjoyed the bar, but in the bedroom, you can hear the music very loud. I also saw the cleaning lady did not change the sheets after my roommates checked out.
Pretty view. Also nice and crowded place to meet other backpackers.

United StatesWe found hair in the bathroom drain upon arrival.
The facilities were nice, and the location was phenomenal. The view from the terrace was incredible, and I appreciated being very close to the main square while still enjoying relative peace and quiet at night. The staff are also very friendly and attentive. I also used the laundry service for an additional cost.

RussiaIT WAS SO NOISY! gosh, all day long there were construction noises, in the night in the hotel there are parties until 10 pm, so if you count on sleeping and having rest - be ready to don't get it. In the room there was amazingly strong smell of the bathroom, not sure if it's only about moist climate. The view is spectacular and the room is nice but way too expensive for the quality there is.
The breakfasts from Margareth were amazing! Also, the view we had + having hot water is amazing

United KingdomAfter having a great time in Viajero Medellín we decided to book three nights in Salento and that was huge mistake. The private room we’ve got was next to the kitchen and dining/common area. The walls were so thin that we felt like people were with us in the same room from early morning 6am till late night. Room was filthy, dirty shower full of hair, dead bugs on the floor, stains on the bedsheet, very cold and without any window. French toast for breakfast was served with a bug and hair. We only stayed one night. We didn’t get any refund for the two other nights.

SpainThe rooms were not cosy at all. There was a huge gap in between the bed and the walls, meaning my belongings fell out of the bed many times and also, you could see down into the bed below you - so it's not very private. The bathroom to share between 8 people was dirty and I had to ask for the soap to be refilled and the bin to be changed (overflowing dirty toilet paper built up over the days, grim!)
The gardens and communal areas are really green and pretty. There's a nice little bar to socialise and there's lots going on there (karaoke nights etc), meaning its easy to meet fellow travellers. The hostel has a really cute cat called Manchas. It's on a quiet street just a few minutes' walk from the main square.
