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.).

NetherlandsOur room didn’t have a window and the building is quite old so the air was not the greatest. We kept open the doors to the common area sometimes to get air in, but this is not really doable throughout the whole day. It’s definitely not the worst thing, and also not something they can do anything about, but something to keep in mind if you like fresh air.
The owners are super friendly! It feels like visiting family friends. The location is also super nice; Salento is very small so everything is close by. Everyone has their own bathroom; I don’t mind sharing a bathroom but it is always nice to have your own space. The bread and fruits in the morning are super lovely. The owners also helped us super nicely with planning stuff and giving tips.

NetherlandsGood location, 5 mins away from the main square. But Salento is small so everything is close. Good value for money, the room was spacious and clean. The private bathroom is separate i.e. you have to walk through the common area to get there so keep that in mind. It was not a problem for us. The owners were very nice, especially the lady who gave us lots of information and made sure we had breakfast and coffee. The man was nice too, although a bit strict on explaining the rules. It felt like he was expecting us to break them, but then again maybe they’ve had people like that in the past so they are just cautious. All in all a good place to stay for exploring Salento and Valle de Cocora!

NetherlandsThe room we stayed in (the cheapest one) does not have any windows (nor to the outside or to the patio inside). Although the room does have plenty of space this can feel a bit claustrofobic. We booked one extra night after we returned from a trekking in the mountains and got one of their other rooms which did have a window and I'd definitely recommend to book one of those rooms if you don't mind to pay a bit extra
The hosts are incredibly friendly and have a lot of good tips for restaurants, activities and connecting busses from Salento. The breakfast was limited, but definitely offered a good start of the day! In terms of value for money this was one of our best stays in Colombia.

*The owner, Marta, is an amazing person. She is the best host I have ever met. She explained what to do in Salento and recommended some cafes and restaurants upon check-in. She welcomed us very well. *The breakfast, bread, fruits, and coffee, is amazing. She said it's simple but it is more than enough! Even though we left the hostel early in the morning to get a bus, she prepared breakfast for us. Thank you a lot!! *The location is good. Very close to everywhere. *Though the bathroom is located outside of the room, it's not shared with other guests. We really wanna come back~~~

United KingdomMarta and Hugo were just fabulous hosts. Full of local information and extremely welcoming and helpful. The bed was really comfy. They provided fresh seasonal fruits and lovely bread and coffee in the morning. The infamous map provided by Marta was really useful. We loved our stay here. Hot shower. You have to let it run to get it going for 40 seconds as Hugo advised.

United KingdomLiked everything- a lot
Just stay here. Marta was an excellent host, we were treated like family and she clearly loves having guests to stay in her family house. She gives everyone a welcome that sets you up for your trip, how to get around, the best restaurants and trails to do. Breakfast was simple but delicious coffee, fruits and bread. Nothing was too much trouble. We left three days ago and still missing the welcome and warmth we got at Marta’s house.

BelgiumWe loved everything
Everything! If we could give more than 10 points, we would. We felt like being a part of one big happy and warm family the 5 days when we were there. Martha is incredibly kind and her husband too. She took great care of us and made us a map upon arrival with all the places that were interesting for us in and around Salento. she even took the time to point out all the vegan restaurants in town for us. We also loved the breakfast in the morning. She claims it's not breakfast but you get coffee, fresh fruit and bread in the morning and it's a great way to start the day. We miss you, Martha! And big kiss to the cats Noesy and Tushi ❤️
