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.).

GermanyWe stayed here before Christmas. Gladis was our housekeeper during our time at IntiLuna and is such a caring, warm-hearted and helpful woman. She alone made our stay in Salento so much better! The hostel is clean, simple and possibly the best budget option in Salento. Only drawback was the shower. Its clean but doesnt give off that much water. We loved staying at IntiLuna however <3

Czech RepublicRoom is smaller than expected, Shower did not have a showerhead and we needed to make a very low stream to have warm water. Overall for the price we have paid it could be much better.
This was a calm place, comfortable bed, small but good breakfast.

AustriaThe door of the room didn't seem to be very secure. We had issues locking and opening it. Howerver Salento is generally really save and we didn't have any problems leaving our valuables in the room.
Very good location in the center of Salento, just a minute walk away from the main square. Friendly staff and decent breakfast. Also close to the bus terminal, so we didn't need a taxi or transfer to reach the hostel when we arrived and departed.

GermanyUnfortunately, the shower was very bad - if you wanted warm water you could only get a very small amount of water (it was more like a hose without pressure). If it wasn't for the shower this stay would have been a 10. We also had a bit of an issue with other guests being inconsiderate noisewise. Not the hosts fault and the houses in salento are not very soundproof, but might be helpful to have quiet hours. We were woken at 1am by a group talking loudly in the corridor for half an hour, and woken early most mornings by other guests getting ready.
Alejandro and his wife are great hosts! Breakfast was delicious and different everyday. Vegetarians are well catered for. The bed is ridiculously comfortable, great blankets if it gets cold at night. The windows in the room and bathroom were great for ventilation and getting the fresh mountain air as much as possible.

CanadaRooms don't have a balcony or a common outdoor space, which isn't necessary but could be a bonus. The parking is not on site but Alejandro was always accommodating whenever we need to go in or out. Wifi is good in the common area but not in the room we were in. Rooms could use a bedside lamp.
The entire place was very clean. The showers always had hot water available. The location is perfect as it is a very short walk to the square but not directly in it. Cecilia and Alejandro were very attentive and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing! Especially the bread!
