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.).

IcelandNothing worth mentioning
The hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed in. Housed in a charming old grand house, it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. The breakfast is excellent, and the location is fantastic, being close to the D1 supermarket and within a short distance to other amenities, bars, and restaurants in the center. This family-run business provides outstanding service and genuine hospitality.

IsraelI did spot a cupple of cocroachs (mercifully outside the room) and a few mosquitoes who fisted on me. Fans above the bed were a plus, but no furniture at all made it hard to organize efficiently. Breakfast is included, but ranges from very basic (pancakes) to insulting (industrial bread and cheese, I kid you not - nothing else), depending on the day. It is impossible to get good temperature in the shower. It was ever shifting between scorching and freezing, giving you only a few good seconds in between.
Staff was very kind and helpful, especially Ainara (sorry if I misspelled your name 😅). Mostly clean. Location was very good, close to the main Botero square and a few museums. For 35.000 pesos a night, I'd say it's quite good.

GermanyThe surrounding area made me feel not super comfortable as it is very close to a small greenish area which is well know as a little park where you better not go. I always got an Uber which it makes super complicated when it comes to the point about just grabbing “fast” food or something else.
The hostel itself is nice. Looks good and got nice accessories. Breakfast is very very basic (tea, coffee, toast, butter and jam). In my opinion better safe the money and eat outside. The people are nice there. It was a warm welcome. The private room is okay. Unfortunately was our room directly next to the bathroom and common area and without a proper wall it feels like you sharing the room with others.

CroatiaTheir Booking profile got hacked so I got scammed through their messages. But it all turned out ok in the end. The common areas are fairly small, especially the kitchen. Also, in the morning there is loud music coming from the restaurant which is close to the coworking area.
The hostel is amazing. One of the best I've been to. The breakfast is great, different every day. Coworking space with good WiFi. Good location.

IrelandI liked everything about the property! My favourite hostel to date. Super friendly and welcoming staff, very modern and clean (apart from when male guests were pissing on toilet seats and leaving their beard shavings all over the sinks - sort yourselves out), amazing to have a coworking space and strong WiFi, also appreciated the super fast laundry service, the chilling areas with hammocks, and the sofa at reception, loved that the breakfast was in the restaurant (which has wonderful staff, menu and music) but that there was also a fully equipped and spacious kitchen. The vibe is very chill and mature, so if you’re an older backpacker or working while travelling, I definitely recommend. One downside is the bunk beds, they are not bolted to the wall, so they wobble a lot, and stuff can fall down from the top bunk onto the bottom one, only one socket beside bed which is needed for the fan. Top tip is the empanada place round the corner, to the left when you exit, super filling and 6 delicious sauces.

The house is beautiful, the staff is amazing, they really go the extra mile to keep everything clean and tidy. I love staying here and highly recommend it if you are looking for a quiet place to stay and live the downtown experience (different than Poblado!)

The bed was super comfy, the room was quiet and clean, the bathrooms and showers were clean, there is a wonderful coworking space where i was able to work along on some projects, the staff was kind, friendly and attentive. They have laundry service and there's even a restaurant at the end of the hall that serves delicious food!!!! This will be my spot everytime I go through Medellín. Thank you 🙏❤️😍

United StatesA bit loud at night because it was so close to the street. No AC in the rooms, but it turned out fine. Some tours don't offer pickup in the central medellin area, which is unfortunate.
Good location in central medellin, but keep in mind many people stay in the Poblado neighborhood. I didn't care as the center was closer to the places I want to see. Comfortable bunks with light, outlets, and fan. Had lockers, and decent breakfast that was actually different each day. Hot showers which was great. Had free drinking water. Close to some street food and metro station, as well as the bus station from the airport.
