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.).

CanadaThis place met all my expectations!
The place is very beautiful and clean, it looks like a small resort with a hostel vibe. The room was pretty big, internet accessible everywhere in the hostel. It is located right next to the beach where some parties happen at night on the bars, not too noisy but you have to consider it if you're looking for something more calm at night.

NetherlandsReally big and clean and quiet room, brand new. The shower was amazing with glass on top so you could see the clouds. We also liked the pool a lot, it’s a great place for meeting other travelers. The location of Dreamer Palomino is the best: closer by the beach you can’t get. We also saw monkeys in the early morning at the hostel. The breakfast is also good

ColombiaThe only bad thing is that it could be a little bit noizy at times, but we understand it is a busy street.
Great location, clean and roomy. Great view. We enjoyed the hotel, it is just across the Malecón, lots of shops and restaurants withinn walking distant. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. They even stored our extra luggage for 3 days at no extra cost while we were traveling to Tayrona and Palomino. Breakfast was good and we were able to also get free coffee during the day. AC works perfect and balcony with a hammock was a plus. Mattress was firm on a king size bed..

IrelandNo hot water in the showers, however this seems to be the norm in North Colombia. Breakfast not included.
Excellent location right beside the beach and main strip. The pool was fab and rooms were clean and spacious with very comfy beds. The food was also very tasty. Staff were helpful and polite. We had an issue with an animal in our room but were moved to a new room with no hassle.

CanadaPeople can smoke anywhere, including the pool. Wifi didn’t work in the room and was weak in the reception area. Loud at night time. Not a place for digital nomads and unfortunately we had to move. It’s also quite pricy compared to other places in the area.
Spacious clean room with daily cleaning provided. Landscaping and layout of the property was great. Location was excellent. The staff speaks good English. They had a free salsa lesson we enjoyed.

United StatesWhile the hotel's location was beautiful, I encountered some issues during my stay. Despite booking with breakfast included through Booking, I was charged for breakfast upon check-out, which felt misleading. Additionally, on the second day, my room wasn't cleaned despite leaving the sign out, and the receptionist's initial response lacked clarity. She said the cleaning of the room is for free… seriously ? Of course it’s included on what I’m paying. However, after addressing these issues, the housekeeping staff promptly cleaned the room to perfection. Overall, while the hotel's amenities were satisfactory, there's room for improvement in communication and guest service.
Location, swimming pool, room.

United KingdomEverything! We were meant to stay for 2 nights and ended up staying for 5. The staff made us feel so welcome during our stay there (shoutout to Alexa, Jesus and Lore)! The hostel has a great social vibe and the time flies by just hanging out by the pool. The private rooms we stayed in were very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomIt would be nice if they had a kitchen for guests to use as it is a hostel and having to buy food all the time can be annoying. Would also be good if they had a bit more furniture around the pool - a lot of the time we just had to lay on the concrete ground.
Amazing hostel on the Main Street in Palomino close to bars restaurants and the beach. The hostel has so much space and is so big and open. The pool area is great and the pool is always clean. The food they serve at the bar is also delicious and reasonably priced.

Had an amazing stay, couldn’t recommend more. Pool is nice, 2 min walk from the beach and from others hostels where there parties are. Food is also very good even if it’s a bit expensive but you can always eat somewhere else ! Perfect for a solo traveler, nice vibes, very social, nice common areas to chill or have some drinks Room is basic but has everything you need, beds were comfy, there are lockers and a bathroom in each room. Was supposed to stay 3 nights bus ended up staying 5!
