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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesEverything was wonderful. As to be expected in a hostel, there is some noise from people using the facilities. I wore earplugs at night and slept well.
I stayed a total of 4 nights in a private room with a private bathroom. Lovely rooms and nice, updated bathrooms. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location was about a 10 minute walk to the metro and I felt comfortable walking there alone (along a well traveled road). The neighborhood is really pretty and quiet. I had my laundry done at the hostel - quick turnaround and beautiful job.

FranceThe door locks on the private rooms were quite basic (had to lock the door from the inside and then close it when you leave). I didn't have any problems and the place itself felt safe and secure, but if you're looking to improve something, perhaps improving the lock system on the private rooms or adding safes.
I stayed in a private room, so cannot speak for the dorms. I found the room to be simple yet comfortable. The AC worked wonderfully and the shower pressure was great too (actually the best I had in all my Colombian hostels). The place itself is very peaceful, super well located but hardly any outside noise. I was able to get a good night's rest each night. The staff, as you'll see in other rooms, is amazingly kind and helpful. I liked as well that the hostel itself could be both peaceful yet social at the same time.

Close to both the metro station and many restaurants, bars, etc. of Poblado, Black Sheepo Medellin exceeded expectations. A clean and comfortable space with many places for remote work. The atmosphere was always social

SpainOne of the receptionists had a very bad attitude one night, but eventually it got sorted. Even though no excuses were given, his mistake was acknowledged by his co-workers. Still giving a "10" because i had a very nice stay there and overall in medellin.
Very good location, close to everything and also "far" from the noise. The hostal is very clean and tidy. Comfy beds.

United KingdomWe had a double room on the 1st floor with shared bathroom facilities. There were two showers but just one toilet - for up to 20 people to share. Not ideal! Not a big issue at all but no mirror in the bedroom (which actually seems to be a common theme in Columbian hostels!) Would be an easy fix.
We loved Black Sheep Medellin hostel! It was brilliant. Fantastic location on a quiet street but walkable to lots of good cafes/bars, really friendly staff that were always happy to help, comfortable double room, well equipped kitchen, nice roof terrace. It was brilliant.
