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.).

CanadaSpectacular Costa del Sol Villa with views overlooking the whole of Cali. José goes above and beyond cultivating a welcoming vibe including games, hikes, dancing, and cooking that make it feels like you're among friends and not just staying at a hostel.

United Statesminor, but suggest improved signage at the entry door on 1st floor
I very much enjoyed my stay at The View Hostel & Lounge. The staff was exceptional. They accommodated my very late arrival, seeing me to my "private room booking" quickly for some much needed sleep. The breakfast was authentic and tasty. The facilities are clean and very well kept (daily). The private suite I booked was fully functional, including TV, great air conditioning, clean linens, hot water for the shower, a safe for my valuables and plenty of power outlets. The management and reception went out of their way to provide information about local festivities and sites to visit. They even provided me access to group Salsa lessons that were very enjoyable, even with my 2 left feet 😁 The View is nestled in the hills with a wonderful overlook of the city from a rooftop balcony. Though my stay was not long enough to take advantage of, they have a bar and patios offering many refreshments, spa & massage services onsite upon request, along with private Salsa lessons in a basement dance hall. The pool is a refreshing break to the humidity of Cali, and is well attended to. This is my new go-to place when I am in Cali, and will suggest to any of my friends visiting. I tip my hat to Sandra, manager Jose, Johan & Daniel in reception, and all other staff. Very warm & friendly. For sure, new amigos & amigas. Thank you again. Great job hosting me! You exceeded my expectations, and that says alot. Sincerely, Ken Bartholet (Estados Unidos)

ColombiaI didn't like that they charged me an extra fee that wasn't mentioned in the original booking, but I think this could be a tax for Colombian people. The neighborhood is safe and nice but is a little far form the action.
This is a pretty new hostel, with excellent facilities. The pool is great, and it has perfect beds in the shared rooms. Jhoan, the guy in the front, has a great salsa music selection. I have to say this place is going to be one of the greatest hostels in Cali soon.

FinlandThe location is up on the hill, so those who cannot walk upwards on the hill need to use Uber. The hostel is new so still some of the details could be explained more explicitly. But overall, I can really recommend this hostel to anyone.
This hostel takes the stay in Cali in a new level. The community and people are so friendly and nice, the facilities are top notch. One the best hostel experiences ever.

Absolutely everything. So far the best hostel I have been in Colombia. The staff goes an extra mile to ensure you feel like home. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk distance.

UkraineIt is not really a traveller’s hostel, it’s full of local employees, how’s function is not clear, as we were only 2 tourists while I was there. Some of them where entering my female dorm to show it around to their family, including kids, without knocking or permission. Two out of the tree nights I was there, the owners had a private party with their families and friends, which made it impossible to rest or sleep. Someone recommended me to move to Viajero, and it is completely a different story. My only regret is that I trusted the good reviews, and didn’t book Vijero straight away
The bed was comfortable, bathrooms where in the room. Empty hostel, no other travellers, so if you look to socialise, go to Viajero. Location is good, close to park with lots of restaurants

GermanyIt's not a hostel, it's more like a cheap, tacky hotel were the owner tries to sell her beauty spa on the rooftop. There was no atmosphere, no vibe when we were there. Almost no other backpackers but more Colombians holidaying. No real communal spaces either. Great parts of the building have a smell of cheap parfum. It's pretty dark as well. One of the worst parts were the two parrots that are kept in a very small cage right next to the pool where the hotel plays reggaeton from the morning on. Both of them are clearly mentally ill already. It was just heartbreaking to see those poor animals suffering in their tiny cage.
The two guys at reception were nice and really tried to help! Beds were comfortable.
