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 KingdomThe perfect hostel to relax and start your stay in Bogota. A real home away from home! Very comfortable, rooms are spacious, the fruit that comes with breakfast is always fresh, but most importantly the members of staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would recommend staying here if only to experience their hospitality! The other guests are very friendly too, and the way in which the kitchen is designed means it’s very easy to meet people. A good location in La Candelaria, approx. 10 minutes from Plaza Bolivar. If I return to Bogota I will 100% stay at Cedron Hostel again. Thanks Gabriel & team!

United KingdomAs the building is quite old noise travels a lot but it’s not a party hostel so it’s not so bad. Would be nice to have a living room area inside the house to chill but not a big deal.
Beautiful old building with big family kitchen, lovely garden and games room at the back of the garden. The family that run the hostel are incredibly polite, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is good, the location is great and the WiFi works well. Really cosy family social vibe would highly recommend :)

AustraliaIt would be nice if there was a more comfortable/cozy common area besides the kitchen
The hostel feels like a family home, it's lovely, and the owners are very kind. Good social vibe in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable with super warm blankets. Breakfast was basic but nice. There were a few people working and the Wi-Fi worked well most of the time.

PeruIt would be great if each bed had a plug closer and a little curtain for privacy.
Once I stepped inside this place I was absolutely amazed! It's cozy, it's well cared for, its cute kitchen and big backyard are beautiful. The trees are huge and so old. Besides, there's a big lounge where we danced salsa! Gabriel, Patricia and Shirley make you feel at home and go out of their way to help you.

The owners are so nice and friendly, I felt like I'm home . Everything was perfect! It was very clean and the bed was so comfy, I slept like a baby. They made everything to make you feel good . I was happy to miss my flight because i could have spent one more night there. It was the best hostel so far, don't waste your time to find another place in Bogota
