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 StatesThe breakfast could’ve been a little better but still pleasant. Also they blast music until late in the evening which can get annoying if you are trying to have an early night.
We enjoyed the view from our balcony, the friendly staff, and all of the free activities the hostel had offered .

NetherlandsThat I couldn't stay longer
My stay at Viajero Hostel was an absolute delight from start to finish! Juliana made me feel super welcome, and her eagerness to assist made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived.Juliana went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Moreover, her co-workers were equally outstanding. Each member of the team exuded friendliness and professionalism, creating a welcoming atmosphere that truly enhanced my experience. If you're seeking a place to stay where you'll be treated like family, look no further than Viajero Hostel.

CanadaThere apparently was a major water damage in Salento while we were there which forced the hostel to use reserve tanks. There were a few times where those were empty and we weren’t able to shower, use the toilet or the sink. The hostel is not to blame as the whole town was impacted, but it would have been great if the $5000 one-time fee to use filtered water could have been lifted at that time
Great hostel, amazing location, the view outside is stunning. In comparison to other Viajero hostels this one is smaller and human-sized. Staff are really nice and activities are organised every night, we took part in a sound healing meditation yesterday which we really enjoyed

United KingdomI was in the end private room near the breakfast/social area so it was noise pretty much 24 hours cos there was no noise insulation. However, my ear plugs worked well so I still got good nights sleep each night. My private room was nice but basic and expensive for what you get. £100 a night at a hostel is too much. Breakfast was mediocre at best.
Without doubt the best thing about the hostel was the view from my room and balcony. Early morning I could see the sun coming over the mountains. Beautiful. It also had a nice vibe amongst the travellers. Travelling solo you can meet people easily. Salento is a small town so the location was great cos you could walk to anywhere.

IcelandThe room was not that great. I stayed in the 6 bed dorm and I've stayed in nicer dorms for less money. But not terrible at all and I slept very well. But I would recommend it for sleeping between hikes.
The staff was very helpful and friendly and the outside area was beautiful. Those two aspects basically made it worth the money.
