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...).

NetherlandsYolo Hostel was a fantastic place to stay. It truly felt like a second home. The accommodation was clean and simple, and the evenings were wonderfully quiet and peaceful—perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. The hostel is well-equipped with everything you might need, and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. A special highlight was the breakfast and lunch spot right next to the hostel. We enjoyed the most delicious breakfasts there—highly recommended! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

YOLO is a very chilled hostel, far enough from the hecticness of the tourist area but close enough to be there in a 3 minute walk. I liked the hammocks, amazing breakfast and coffee at Betty's and the staff were the best. Also, I did a river tour and the transformation city tour with Federico, which I highly recommend!

IrelandThe hostel is about a 20-minute walk from the metro. Also, there's no air conditioning in the dorms, just two fans that were on all night, blowing directly in my face even when it wasn't needed.
The common area is fantastic—perfect for chilling out and meeting new people. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the staff were super friendly and ready to give you advices. Special shout-out to Aleja, who was incredibly sweet and always ready to help with anything you needed.

FranceBedrooms could be better equipped. They are a bit frugal.. but the overall balance quality-price is still quite honest when I take a look to the price I have paid.
The hostel overall is really nice, shared space is comfy (I spent a lot of time in these hamacs…) Staff is wonderful, always available to help you or answer your questions. Cool tours / activities proposed by the hostel (I did the Medellin transformation tour, which was incredible) There is no word to describe the fruit bowls served by Betty’s bowl restaurant. Definitely the best I have had so far 😍

Liked the relaxed atmosphere because of the plenty of space to sit, work or lie in hammocks, much green plants around. There is a yard inside and a terrace for dining in front of the hostel so you may choose your favourite place. Sleeping is comfortable and not noisy around. The hostel organises different tours and I chose the one telling about the difficult and violent past times of the Medellin and how the new regions are evolving nowadays and becoming artistic centres. Got good insights and understanding of the place so I recommend the tour! +loved a bawl of rresh fruits and musli for breakfast which was included!

United KingdomThe weather, but that has nothing to do with YOLO Hostel! :)
I checked in after midnight and this was no trouble for the receptionist, such a nice first impression and very welcoming. The hostel has a real 'homely vibe' with a fantastic chill out area, hammock area and bathrooms. There are excellent kitchen facilities and the large dining area was nice to hang out and meet fellow travellers. The outdoor space is very relaxing, brimming with plants and flowers! I loved it so much I stayed for one week! Excellent location too, close enough to the local bars etc but nice and quiet at night. Also Betty's bowls next door is also amazing and the staff there are super cool too!

NetherlandsThe hostel is located in a safe neighbourhood, where there is lots to do in the evening. You get breakfast from Betty Bowls, which I really liked! A good start of the day. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I also have never seen such a clean hostel. They clean up everyday. Th location is a bit at the end of el poblado, which is nice because its a bit more quiet up there. Its only a bit further walk from the metro station, but totally worth it!
