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.).

GermanyThe showers could have been designed better. Everything you take in gets wet but as soon as you step out you're out in the open so either you shower with a bikini or you live with the potential of people seeing you naked.

PolandI have stayed in two other hostels in Santa Marta and this one was definietly The best. The staff is really friendly, it is really clean and The beds are perfectly designed for travellers needs - it has lamps, curtains & plugs. It is like having your little room inside of The room. The beds are also really big. The location in in The center. Nice kitchen, swimming pool & terrace. Great breakfast included. It is just a little bit more expensive than The cheapest options in Santa Marta and 100% worth it.

United KingdomFor some strange reason, the bar upstairs was blasting music until 1am one night when it seemed like everyone was in bed. There was no real reason to have it on that loud even at that time. Only one small area to hang out with others too
Nice accommodation with cold rooms. Beds were a little uncomfortable but the rooms being cold make up for it as it was hot outside. Staff were friendly but didn't speak English and showers worked very well.

NorwayThe fans didn't work in the 12-bed dorm, so during the day when the AC is off it's almost unbearable to stay in the dorm. There's not many places to hangout during the day, unless you want to sit in the sun on the rooftop. Also no place to lay by the pool. The wifi is terrible in the room and not great in common areas either. Would be nice to have free filtered water!
Nice big beds and good pillows, clean, nice pool, great kitchen, cute design all over the place. The temperature in the room depends on where you're staying. In my first stay I had a bed far from the AC and it was really warm during the night, whereas the next time I was closer to the AC and rather cold actually. Showers were quite alright, not as cold as many other places. Good breakfast with eggs, toast, fruit, veggies, juice and coffee. Also possible to leave luggage at the hostel while you're traveling to other places in the region.

GermanySadly not the hostel’s fault but the street was very loud and busy the night I stayed as a party was happening in the street. Just something to take in consideration if you want a restful stay.
