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.).

AustriaBed was really noisy- not to be recommended for couples (if you're getting my drift 😅), also every time you turn at night it is loud; check in lady was a little unfriendly or not that welcoming, but maybe she had a bad day, other staff was really friendly.
Amazing food (vegan/vegetarian) since it is also a Restaurant; great location, hammock on the balcony, nice Pool, portable water available, nice rooms with AC; cute environment to hang out and also to work at...

ColombiaThe only thing we experience not so good, we arrived earlier and they told us they could give us the room an hour earlier, but it didn’t happened and we notice they had a welcome drink that they didn’t offered to us. We felt that the receptionist was giving priority to foreign guests.
The hostal is beautiful. Very clean and organized. The pool was excellent. Breakfast was great, unlimited coffee, eggs, bread or arepas, juice, fruit. The restaurant all vegetarian offered good variety. The service was good. All the workers were friendly. We stayed at a room with private pool and it was excellent. We certainly come back again. The garden was beautiful too, we saw a lot of butterflies, hummingbirds, parrots, etc.

This place feels like a spa! People come here to rest and have comfort. You can chill all day around the pool. The restaurant is amazing (not included)! You are 5' walk from the beach, but have a very quite neighbourhood (no party hostels nearby).

GermanyOne of the best hostels I have ever been to. it doesn’t actually feel like a hostel as there are many double rooms and, hence, couples. As a solo traveler maybe not the best choice if you want to party and meet tons of new people. I loved the veggie restaurant (the food is amazing, also the breakfast). The pool and the garden are amazing for a relaxed day or evening. Rooms and bathrooms were super clean and nice. There is also a daily yoga class. It said that it was free for guests which it wasn’t in the end (but that’s okay). Staff was really nice.

United KingdomAmazing hostel - a very chilled and perfect place to relax, ended up extending 3 times because I liked the place and people I met so much, super nice and helpful staff (Katherine in particular was very helpful when I extended my stay). It’s obviously not a party hostel but I found it easy to meet people. Restaurant has really good vegetarian food and is great value for money, probably one of the best restaurants I went to in palomino. Dorms are clean and very nice. It’s a few mins walk from the main road but that’s expected and means it’s quiet around the hostel which is nice. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

NetherlandsThe WiFi was very bad, but I believe WiFi and network internet are very bad everywhere in Palomino. Also, you need to know that there will be dogs and cats around at the hotel.
The pool is lovely, especially with the crazy heat! And the food at the hotel is very nice. Also very close to the beach which was good and pretty close to the main road. Good place to spend some days in Palomino!

AustraliaNothing that I didn't like! Maybe just the yoga class, they say that it's 'free contribution' but is actually a minimum of 20K contribution! They should say that as it creates a bit of an awkward situation with the teacher..
Everything! The pool, the beds, the breakfast, the vibe!! Such a relaxing place away from the main street, super comfy bed with comfy pillows!

GermanyFood is a little overpriced.
Very calm and relaxing place, quiet location. The private rooms are quite large for a hostel and are well equipped with a fan, a/c, own shower, nice and large double bed and a balcony with a hammock. The food in the vegetarian restaurant is very good as well, and especially the slow food food options are quite large and tasty. The hostel also has a nice Pool, although it is nearly too warm to be refreshing.

AustraliaThe bathroom had a bit of mold in it and the rooms could of been cleaned out a bit more regularly. The location is a bit of a walk from town in the dark but close to the beach so just keep that in mind when booking here!
Casa del Pavo Real is beautiful. It has luscious plants all around the grounds and a clean pool with sunbeds for relaxation. The included breakfast was delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and all came with mosquito nets. Air-conditioning and fans were also a must and a big reprieve from the heat. Yoga classes in the morning were also great.

United KingdomCan't think of anything!
This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at, & completely made our time in Palomino. The design and facilities are more on the level of a nice hotel. We had a private room with balcony, which was a really good size with a hammock on the balcony, clean and well-maintained. The pool is the perfect place to hang out in the daytime to get away from the heat. The food was also all amazing and having the option to eat by the pool is great. It's an easy five-minute walk down to the beach, and Playa la Ola beach club which is owned by the same people is a really nice base for some beach time. The vibe is more relaxed and sophisticated, much less of a backpacker party place than other places in Palomino. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to have a really comfortable and chilled few days in Palomino. We only stayed 2 nights but wished we had stayed longer.
