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.).

ItalyA little space/wardrobe for hanging clothes would be nice but we could arrange our items anyway.
Very kind and efficient staff. Jeremy kept in good contact via whatsapp while we were reaching Salento from Bogotá. We arrived quite late compared to the expected time and he was very supportive. He also speaks very good English which helped as we were very tired when we arrived! The room is very tidy and cosy, clean, and spacious enough and so is the bathroom. Very nice breakfast, different every day! WiFi working well and hairdryer available on request. The hotel is really close to the main square and street, only few minutes walking.

SwitzerlandBear in mind that the old houses do not have soundproof and it is valid for the whole town, but in the night it was OK. The toilet was really narrow thogh. And some hangings for the dresses would help the comfort.
The attitude - the transfer waited for us for hours due to delayed flight. Enough blankets. The breakfast - fabulous! And served when we needed it. Thank you!

United KingdomIf you're a light sleeper (like me) then do not select the room with the balcony, as it is not sound proof at all and you won't get much sleep - even with earplugs in. We expected Salento to be a quiet and quaint town, especially in the evening. But there's a chicken shop opposite the hostel that has many customers, plus it's on the main street for the ridiculously loud motorbikes to travel down at all hours. The bed is quite small too.
Beautiful central hostel, Jeremy was very welcoming and helpful with advice. The breakfast was lovely too.

Amazing family run business. We have been travelling for the last 4 months and this is one of our favourite stays. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean and the beds very comfortable. There was always plenty of hot water in the shower. Breakfast was excellent. The property also provides tours, packed lunches for excursions, and transfers. Jeremy was always happy to give any number of recommendations and help in anyway he could during our stay. Highly recommend.

LithuaniaSuch a wonderful place to stay in Salento! I wouldn’t call it hostel because it was an amazing 100 stars hotel for us. The owner and all the staff was super friendly, shared a lot of useful tips and recommendations about activities. Breakfast was great and we ended up ordering lunch for the hike which was really tasty. This place made our stay in Salento even more wonderful than we thought.

CanadaThere is nothing we did not like
Our hosts treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Despite our bus being eight hours late, they warmly welcomed us past midnight, ensuring we felt at home. Our room was full of character, featuring wooden doors that opened onto balconies with stunning mountain views. It offers a range of services, from excursions to private transport and laundry, catering to every need. We enjoyed two incredible excursions: one to the breathtaking Cocora Valley and another to one of Colombia's finest coffee plantations and special towns. Our hosts shared their extensive knowledge of Colombia's history, enriching our experiences even more. While Salento itself is beautiful and safe, it's the warmth and hospitality of our hosts that truly made our stay special.

AustraliaThis is the best hostel to stay at in Salento. The host, Jeremy spoke great English and he and his mother were lovely. The location was perfect, close to public square, bus station and quiet. My room had very strong wifi, could hold video calls with no buffering. Jeremy offered great recommendations and never tried to oversell the tours on offer which I appreciated. We did do one tour through the hostel to the surrounding villages and a coffee farm and had a great time. Breakfast was always different and so yummy. Everything was perfect.

NetherlandsWe had a great stay IntiLuna! The personnel are all really sweet and welcoming. You can book tours and they offer a lunch package to take with you. We highly recommend this since these are delicious home made sandwiches! Also the breakfast is great and different every day. The location is walking distance to the main plaza, just outside most of the nightlife hustle and bustle. Which is nice if you want to get some rest. The host Jeremy speaks English really well and will give you lots of good information and is willing to help with anything. We made use of the transfer service from and to Pereira airport which went really smooth. Coordinated by Jeremy. The driver Jaime is a great guy and was also our driver on one of the tours.

NetherlandsNothing. Book this hotel!!!
This was the best stay we've had in our Colombia trip! We stayed for 6 nights in total (seperate bookings). The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower had hot water (!). It was even nicer in real life than the pictures on booking. There are only five rooms, so the hotel has a very cosy vibe. But what really made our stay special was the team. They were the nicest, friendliest, most accommodating people you will ever meet. The host Jeremy took the time to explain all the options for what to do around Salento, without being pushy to book a tour. We did end up booking all our tours with them, because the value for money was really good, because Jeremy and his wife Carlita do the tours themselves, and because the tours were unique (as in, different places than other tours would show you). This makes for a very personal (and fun!) experience. They both know so so much about Salento, the towns around, chocolate, coffee... everything! And to top it all off, on every tour we received a delicious homemade lunch that was completely catered to our dietary needs. It was even possible to buy one of the lunches on the day we went to the airport, even though we were a little late with ordering. We felt genuinely a bit sad when we left, because it felt like we were leaving our friends. Thank you so much Jeremy, Carlita, Ipo (legendary house cat) and the rest of the team, hope to meet again in the future (in Salento, Holland or maybe even Ecuador? :))

I went with my mom who couldn't walk too far, but Jeremy made excellent modifications and accommodated her needs. They were really knowledgeable, patient and sweet. We maximized the time as we only had 2 days. We saw Filandia, Santa Rita, Valle Cocora, Salento on the first day. 2nd day La Recuca, San Alberto, Pijao and returned to Pereira. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious.
