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...).

IrelandThe hostel is in an excellent location in the heart of Candelaria, within walking distance of museums, shops, restaurants and conveniently located near the start of walking/cycling tours. The included breakfast was a great start to the day. The staff Michael and Karen were very attentive and helped with everything from booking airport taxis to getting laundry done etc. There's also a hostel dog called Mike Tyson who is a lovely addition but also a great guard dog.

VietnamCommon space is small.
Location is the best. Close to the noise hub but around the corner so it’s quiet and relaxing. The bed is comfy particularly in the cold evening in Bogota. One of the staff let me borrow his card. I bought another one eventually but it’s still very nice of him.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hostel is very vibrant and decorated beautifully. The bed was very warm and comfy, and the breakfast was basic but very good. The location is a stone throw away from the vibe of Candelaria.

SwitzerlandThis place is very good, great location and clean rooms. However, they tried to screw us up a couple times with the prices: first of with the rooms then with beers and the bottles of water, and last but not the least with laundry. They pretended their scale unit was kg but it was actually lb… which means we paid roughly double the price. Long story short, it is a great place but watch out!

GermanyThis must have been the cutest hostel we stayed in, everything is super colorful with lots of places to chill. The family running the hostel is incredible forthcoming and friendly. When we were there it didn't have too many guests, but we imagine it would probably have a social vibe.

PortugalThe wifi keeps failing, so I wouldn't recommend the hostel to whoever is working or in general need to use the internet (I had data so it wasn't a problem). The soundproofing inside is quite poor as well: if you're sensitive to noise, you'll probably fall asleep with the last one going to bed and waking up with the first few people having breakfast. Paying with card applies and extra fee of 5% to the price, which I discovered leaving rushing to the airport. This could be stated on the hostels conditions (before booking). The breakfast is not very rich, which is generally how it goes in low-cost hostels across Colombia.
The location of the hostel is perfect, right next to the city center which is a must visit of Bogotá. Inside, I found the beds quite comfortable and warm, with sockets for everyone. There's hot shower and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The staff was nice and in general the place has a good vibe :)

United KingdomRoom was quite small. Had to go downstairs to use the bathroom/shower. The room didn't have any windows, but had a small grate above the door - presumably for airflow and some natural light, however this did mean you could hear noise from other people in the hostel.
Good location, friendly staff, able to leave our bags during the day before our late night flight out of Bogotá. Nice atmosphere at the hostel. Decent breakfast provided. Would recommend staying here.
