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 have no complaints. Would stay again.
One of the best hostels I stayed in over 6 months of travel. The staff is incredibly helpful and welcoming. There is so much to experience in the area and they will help you with everything. The hostel is really social with nightly activities, but also quiet and relaxed. There is a gorgeous garden, hammocks, pool/hot tub, nice kitchen, free coffee, and hot showers. I extended my stay multiple times.

One of my favourite ever hostels - the staff, especially the reception and the owner Shaun, go above and beyond. The social vibe is great, the activities they help organise and evening events can't be beaten. This hostel really became like a home away from home in the week we stayed.

Great hostel near the centre of San Gil. Our double room was comfortable and a decent size for two people and we really liked that it had a safe for valuables.The staff are excellent and help you organise lots of activities, such as caving, rafting, horse riding, etc. We also got to try the Colombian game of tejo, which was super fun! There's a good sized kitchen for if you're self catering.

One of my favourite hostels in South America! The staff are super friendly and helpful - particularly Shaun, who went above and beyond helping everyone staying there (and even people from other hostels) with getting out of San Gil with the road blockades that were all over the country at the time I was there. It was a really nice social hostel without being super loud and crazy. The activities I booked through the hostel were amazing and the hostel facilities were always very clean tidy.

AustriaVery helpful staff, the owner gives you a great overview of all possible activities and organizes any sign up with activity providers, and if needed follows up with them. We did rafting (definitely recommend the long tour with teenagers! Was a great experience) and paragliding (very experienced pilots) The hostel also organized a free evening of Tejo - a local game night out … try it !!! Free clean water as additional benefit! Outside areas at hostel is great to relax, eat or chat with others. Area around the hostel worth exploring as well

United StatesI can’t think of anything negative to say about the hostile
I stayed in a private room for three or four days. Of all of the hostels in which I’ve stayed in South America, the staff here is the most helpful. They also organize activities and the general vibe is great. Very social, but not a loud party hostel. I can’t think of anything bad to say about the hostel.

A perfect hostel in the heart of the city. The room was clean and comfortable, the garden is a real pleasure to hang out in, but the place is absolutely made by the amazing staff. I've never been to a hostel with such wonderful staff, always happy to talk, experts in everything the region has to offer and superb in every way. We would not have been able to plan our Camino Real hike without all of their help and expertise. Highly recommend this hostel.
