How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

They have only one toilet with a bathroom (the other one was closed during the entire stay). Which sometimes means a little more waiting.
Nice hostel, smaller, which can be an advantage. It has a nice garden. The owner is extremely friendly. Payment is by cash only. Opposite the hostel is a great little restaurant with excellent home-made food.

I was actually alone in the hostel my entire stay (in part due to the protests, but I think Villa is very quiet during the week anyways). So I can’t say much about the sociability of the hostel.
Stayed two nights in a private room, and then three nights in the dorm (got stuck due to protests). Both were excellent and very clean. The private room was very comfortable and had lots of space to store my things. The dorm was very spacious, with privacy curtains and good ventilation. The property also has a very nice kitchen and garden. The woman running the property(Aura) was lovely :)

Perfect hostel to stay in Villa de Leyva. It's near the main square, walkable from bus station. The hostel itself is really clean. You can use the kitchen as well. Wifi is fast. They also provide bicycle for rental, as well as free towel to use, and soap bar. The hostel also has some lounge to relax, yet at night its quiet (good for resting). The lady owner is one of the nicest person I've ever talked to. I had a great memory here, and wish to comeback again someday.

Weak Wifi signal in the back part of the hostel. Dormitory with window to the street was noisy in the early morning.
Beautiful hostel with nice common area and garden and patio with hammocks. Fully equipped kitchen. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location in the city center. Good starting point for hiking day trips in the area. Bars and restaurants close by.

Fantastic location very close to the main square. Casa Once Once has a lovely family vibe to it and was a calm and relaxing place to have as our base for a couple of days. Ángela was also kind to recommend a great taxi driver, Cristian, who drove us all the way to Barichara for our next stop. We also saw a hummingbird in the garden on our last morning while having breakfast which was wonderful!

Sound traveled, but it wasn't a big deal to me.
Great hostel close to the main plaza, convenient to all. Friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy hammocks and social spots to chill and meet people. There were 3 bathrooms that I saw. Lockers available. There was definitely hot water in the showers if the water pressure was turned down (ask if you are having trouble with it).

The shower is no really good, if you open very little you can get a little warmer shower. The beds are very squeaky and a little tough to climb because the steps are very fine which happens to hurt your feet.
The hostel is at an incredible location, a block away from "Plaza. Mayor" and few blocks from the bus station. It's a family hostel, they are very friendly and welcoming. There's is a kitchen available, a hammock area which I loved and a TV room. I even extended my stay.
