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 KingdomComfy and spacious rooms with a clean bathroom and linen provided. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations for food and activities if you needed these. The hostel has a few supermarkets/ shops nearby for anything you may need. Only around a 15/20 minute walk from the airport. About 25 minutes walk to the main town centre and beach area. Overall a great place to stay on San Andres.

Superfriendly and helpful staff, clean and relaxed. Small hostel and easy to meet and talk to the other guests. You can see the ocean from the balcony! Buses to other beaches just outside on the street. I don’t mind the walk to the beaches in centro, get your daily steps!

The hostel itself is so chilled and guaranteed to meet other people to hang out with, no matter if party animal or not. The hostel itself is gladly no party Hostel with forced animation stuff.

ColombiaThe place is clean and beautiful. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the hostel is located in a quiet area close to the seafront. It is easy and fun to walk from the hostel to the central tourist areas, the ocean tour docks are nearby and local busses are just one or two blocks away.

NetherlandsIt’s a bit of a walk to the city centre (15-20 mins feels like a lot with the heat) and the showers didn’t have shower heads.
I have stayed a week in this hostel, both in the private room and the dorm, and I enjoyed it a lot! The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable (especially in the private room; huge bed!). And very important; there is airconditioning in the rooms. The hostel feels more like a guest house because the owners live there too and we spoke each other every day. They arranged several activities for us (buggy rental, boat tour, diving course) and all were amazing! Mauro was always available on WhatsApp and had gone above and beyond to help us with literally anything we needed, making sure we were having the best stay in San Andres.

Falkland Islands (Malvinas)Nothing I loved it all. But if you wanted to come to party in San Andres this probably isn’t the place for you as it’s a super chill vibe.
I loved this property and the hosts. Everyone was amazing and the place was fabulous. A proper little retreat. This place would also be great for a group of friends to book out as it would be like having your own apartment with a lounge and kitchen area. The WiFi was good, they sold 5lt water bottles at reception to save you having to buy little bottles - you could just top up and the price was very reasonable. Mauricio was super friendly and helpful and explained how to visit different locations. The hostel was super clean, the place was cleaned daily. The showers were cold water but it was exactly what was needed in the temperatures (and I never take cold showers) The bus stop by the hostel takes you to the beaches for around $1 each way The hammock chair swings were great in the afternoon when then sun hit the terrace

They helped you with arranging everything (like tours, moto, water,…) for a good price. He helped us also with getting our trip ready for providencia, what we really appreciated. It is a quiet hostel where you easily make contact with other guests. We would recommend it 100%!!
