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.).

NetherlandsDrinks at the bar of the terrace were a bit on the higher price and don't expect much of the pool/hottub. It was fine for us though.
Room was very spacious and comfortable! Staff was friendly. Location perfect. Nice terrace on the top floor. Free walking tour was great, the guide (Elise) was so enthusiastic!

GermanyThis hostel is the best I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and fun, there are a lot of activities you can attend and get to know other travelers. The dorm is spacious and clean. In the hostel they provide coffee for free all day, they have an air con cafe at the entrance, hammock on 2nd floor, kitchen on 3rd floor and pool &lounge area and rooftop bar on 4th floor. Will definitely go back on my next Cartagena travel.

NetherlandsFound some hairs in the bed. No window in the room. No drinking water available for guests, should be included for this price and would also align more with the so called sustainability goals of Los Patios (since everyone is now buying plastic water bottles). Staff was very welcoming, however when we requested a taxi for 4.30 am the reception guy said we could do so 5 minutes up front and the security guy would call for us. Later on in the evening I double checked with another lady at the front desk (who was laying with her feet on the desk), she said this was not possible at all. Did not seem very helpful.
Great location, very central. Nice rooftop with jacuzzi and bar. Welcoming drink and lots of activities.

United KingdomThe entire AC system in the hostel failed for the entire night. It was absolutely impossible to sleep at all, and in the morning they didn’t offer so much as an apology. The double rooms are absolutely tiny. I was alone so there was just enough room for me, but it would be impossible with two people and two sets of luggage. The bedding on the the duvet was two bed sheets, which was kinda gross as the duvet was visible and as they’re not washed it was very unhygienic with blood stains etc.
The location is great and it’s got plenty of communal spaces. The staff are excellent and it’s super clean.

NetherlandsAlthough we really liked that the hostel celebrates international women’s day, it would be even more great if they can fix the toilet doors so everyone can enjoy privacy and in that way feel safe while traveling ;-)
Perfect location!! This hostel is a really nice spot to connect with other travelers. The staff is super helpfull and friendly and very active and enthousiastic. They offer a free welcome drink, salsa class and game night and also celebrate special days like international women’s day. Although the pool is tiny, it’s nice to do siësta in there (or enjoy the stunning sunset with view over the city). There’s also a clean kitchen and plenty of space to relax. Dorms are small but clean and practical with good aircondition.

CanadaWhile the pool itself is a bit small, the rest of the facilities of the rooftop patio made up for it. Lots of loungers and chairs and even a rooftop bar. Our only complaint is that the private rooms are very small! It would be fine if you are traveling alone, but I was traveling with my cousin. We are very close and good travellers together, but the space is just very small. The only other thing is that there isn't a fan in the bathroom, so the tiny room gets pretty damp after a shower. It is crucual to keep the AC on "dry" instead of "cool" (it still will cool the room on this setting)
Los Patios is a great place to stay in Cartagena, especially if you are traveling alone and looking to meet some friends along the way. Everyone who worked at this hostel was unbelievable friendly and helpful - some of the best staff I've ever encountered at a hotel/hostel. Julie in particular was absolutely phenomenal and a wealth of knowledge about Cartagena and the surrounding area. There were a lot of travellers working remotely staying here (myself being one of them) and I can see why. The internet was super fast and there were so many places to sit and work in the communal areas. There is a shared kitchen with a large fridge for those staying for longer durations. The staff put on events every evening like salsa dancing or karaoke. The guests were some of the friendliest out of anywhere we stayed, but I think that is in part to the staff creating a great culture there. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomThe room I was in - at the end of the corridor downstairs - was next to some kind of machinery - it was pretty loud and annoying - waking me up at about 5am. If I hadn’t been a bit drunk on the first two nights - I’d have complained. But by the third night it felt too late to say anything. I’d recommend getting it sorted somehow.
Lovely place. Lovely people. Great location on main road but not noisy. Great pool on roof to cool off. Liked the vibe - not as big/busy as other similar places so it felt a bit more intimate and easier to meet people.

CanadaI don’t think it’s worth the price you pay. It was the little things like the sheets had some small stains on them and at one point it was just me and another girl who were the ones consistently in the dorm and there was a bunch of stuff that people had left behind sitting around for days. I understand not to touch people’s stuff incase they are still there but who knows how long this stuff was sitting around. Same with all the left behind things in the shower. The fan by my bed didn’t work either but that wasn’t an issue because the aircon was good. Also some of the staff were a little rude and useless when asking for recommendations
Overall great hostel! Clean, good location. Very social! As a solo traveller I had no issues meeting people and even most of the staff were very involved when they would run events and include everyone. The pool was nice too after a day of exploring around the city. Lots of space to hang out around the hostel and the dorms were comfortable. Great location as well! Easy to walk everywhere and lots of food options super close to the hostel! I definitely would stay here again

The hostel is completely new and has a very nice interior design. The room is nice and has everything you need (including earplugs). The bed was comfortable. Staff was welcoming and smiley. There's a nice rooftop with a pool and a bar with a small dj set. The location is cool because it's in Getsemani, the vibrant heart of Cartagena.

AustriaThere was construction noise during the day and from 10am there was music everywhere in the hostel, which is not ideal if you have work calls. It is also quite expensive, but for personally it was worth it.
I stayed at the hostel while working remotely and it offers great facilities to do so. There is plenty of space to work from and the wifi is fast. The location is great and all of the staff is amazing! They offer activities everyday, so it‘s easy to meet other travelers. The music from the rooftop stops early enough to get a good night sleep and there is no heavy bass, so earplugs can easily cancel the noise.

AustraliaShower didn’t get very hot but was warm enough. While the room was excellent, I think it’s still overpriced and not something we’d usually pay that much for. I think it’s a new hostel so they were possible still building some facilities (I think a cafe was going to be opened in the lobby).
We booked a king private room as a well needed treat after our previous accomodation. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Room was spacious with good air conditioning. Clean bathroom with a pretty shower and well stocked with toiletries. Great TV with Netflix. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice rooftop for drinks. Excellent location, walking distance to some very cool spot.
