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.).

PolandNo curtains and lamps by each bed Very poor light in the room No common space to relax or meet people (it's not really hostel, more like a hotel) No towels provided Pilot to AC not provided in a room, reception has it and each time you want to change a temperature, you have to ask them for that Poor water pressure in the shower No ring for the main gate and no key either - if you want to come in, you need to shout to the receptionist which is kind od frustrating

United KingdomOnly one male and one female bathroom for a 14 bed dorm room doesn't seem enough in my opinion, however it wasn't an issue when I stayed there because there were never more than 5 people staying. What seemed like every hour the staff would walk through the dorm room and take a photo of the male and female bathrooms, it just seemed really strange. They were polite when they did this, however they would often leave the doors open which counteracted having the A/C units running. This is wasting electricity for the hotel and it also made the rooms too warm (if the door wasn't shut by someone after the staff left). The staff cleaned the dorms daily, but the bathrooms didn't seem to receive the same treatment, sometimes they would get a quick clean but the dirty and hair covered floor mat would just be flipped over, which meant the dirt and hair on the underside of the mat would just be moved around the floor. The lights in the dorm room were quite dim.
The dorm room had 3 great A/C units. The hotel was lovely, with a nice very small pool. The free juice, coffee and pastry in the morning was tasty and welcomed. The staff were all friendly too. The rooms were cleaned daily. Nice sized lockers.

ColombiaBecause its so close to some bars expect a little noise on some nights. Theres no window in the rooms but we already knew that.
The location is nice since you are walking distance (5 min) from the centre of Getsemani which is beautiful and full of life, and really close also (10 min) to Cartagena centre. Theres restaurants, bars and shops just around the corner.
