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...).

SpainNO WIFI - NO HOT WATER - WORST STAFF EVER. Mosquitos everywhere. This hotel is very aged. It's a place for european backpackers, not for holidays. My door did not close properly so I have been wounded by mosquitos for 3 days. I'd suggest not to stay here
Nice hotel and best location. Maria from massage room was the best.

GermanyThe hostel is pretty dirty, beds are covered with dead flies, and the rooms smell like mold. The beds don't have any mosquito nets, though mosquitos in Palomino are extremely aggressive. Also no curtains at the bed nor air condition, the rooms were pretty hot at night, but with the mosquitos everywhere, you had to cover yourself as much as possible. Also the water tap was "broken" (already for weeks), so you had to buy the completely overpriced water at the bar there or walk 25 mins to the next supermarket. The vibe was not really social either and loud music was played the whole evening into late night (though there was not much of a party vibe going on). For the relatively high price in Colombia, it was definitely not worth staying here.
The pool area is spacious

RomaniaSome clothing items have been stolen from the room, we only noticed it after checking out. No hot water and full of mosquitos as there are no windows in the toilet and no mosquito nets. Staff at the restaurant/breakfast is very rude, same for the staff at the reception. At checkout they wanted to charge us 60k pesos for two juices that should have been included in the breakfast. It took more than 30 minutes to check the cameras to make sure we didn’t order the juices extra (!!!?). Fun fact: the juices in their menu cost 12-14k pesos, so the additional 60k for two was a ripoff tentative. Also, they didn’t accept cash at checkout telling that it’s too early and they don’t have change, but they are charging extra when paying by card.

United StatesThere was techno music bumping until 3am every night, making it difficult to sleep. It was much more of a party hostel than we had expected. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing place to unwind, but if you’re down for a party, do it!
The staff was super friendly & helpful throughout our stay. The Dreamer team was the highlight!

IrelandThere were no sockets beside my bed which meant I had to charge my phone beside someone elses bed or leave it on the ground charging. I was not comfortable doing this. I would prefer my phone to be near me during the night.
It was a nice hostel to just relax and chill for a few days if tired. The pool was lovely and the hammocks were nice to chill in. The hostel organised tubing and it was a great way to get to know people.

United Kingdom#The timetable of activities seemed to be utter nonsense. It just looked like they did activities but when you asked about them it wasn't quite the case. Mondays bike tour! (Oh no that's just if you want to hire a moped you can you the road!) Tuesday was some equal nonsense. #The credit card fee!!!! I bought some earrings up the road from a small independent stall and no credit card fee. You're a massive business you should absorb it!! It's not fair to your customers and you may find they spend more with you!! #Bunk beds shake terribly and no plugs for each bed. There was one plug in our room. No shelf or anything near the bed either. Only one big light so would wake everyone up. Front door......oh my could it have beeeeen anymore loud!!! Rooms definitely need some more finishing touches!!!! Sleeping can be an issue!
#Pool and bar area were nice. #Great position to beach and restaurants. #Staff were really nice and friendly. #Food delicious .
