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.).

IrelandIt can be a bit noisy at night.....it didn't bother us and we slept very well both nights. I really recommend Atatdecer de Salento.
We really enjoyed our stay, -comfortable, room with private bathroom and HOT shower. We loved sitting out on the balcony with its view of the town.. The kitchen was well equipped. Don Antonio and Natalie made us feel very welcome. It is close to everything.. We would have liked to stay longer than two nights.

United StatesThe place is a bit worn down. One of the towels we were given was thread bare and had a big hole in it. It got cold at night which was fine for me but my room partner didn't enjoy it. We also didn't have running water for a day and a half or more. Finally the shower was either freezing or boiling and nothing in between.
The location was good right at the end of the most popular street in town. Though it.could be loud at night. The room was fairly large even with 2 double beds and a single. The price was fantastic, and would have been better split between more people had we been traveling in a group.

Dominican RepublicThe staff, I'm sure was friendly, I just didnt see anyone around, including staff. Across the street is a couple bars that play loud music till around 2am. You may or may not like this. Just something to consider.
The property is at the end of the street, right before the Mirador. It was easy to walk pretty much anywhere.

CanadaUnfortunately, being at the top of the strip means it can be a bit loud at night, there was a noodle restaurant next door that played loud club music until very late when we were there, so something to be aware of if you’re a light sleeper.
The host, Don Antonio, was super welcoming, offering us coffee and even soup upon arrival! Rooms are modest but the price is very good. The hostal is located at the top of the main strip, Calle Real, and has a really nice view over Salento. Cool hangout spot on the veranda with hammocks and picnic tables. Cute hostel cats :)

ItalyThe room was very cold because it’s not properly insulated and it felt unpleasant to be in there at night and in the early morning. The shower did not work properly. It was impossible to sleep at night because there’s loud music coming from people gathering in the street until 5am
The room was spacious and clean, the position is great if you want to be close to the main square, bars and restaurants

BelgiumThere are some bars nearby that have very loud music until quite late and the walls do not keep sound out. I was here in a weekend which also means a lot of Colombian visitors in Salento. I guess this makes everything livelier. I, however, am a very light sleeper, so my sleep was very fragmented.
Super nice owner! A very nice location, view-wise. And definitely an economical choice.

United Kingdom- Noise. The noise levels made it difficult to sleep - we had a downstairs room next to the kitchen (perhaps other rooms are better), people often sat outside the window into our room which you could hear everything they said. The window only had shutters and no glass meaning noise levels were like you were outside. The bar opposite plays music every night until until the early hours of the morning. You can hear everything from the rooms next door/above meaning sleeping was difficult. One night we were awake for hours due to this. - Bathroom - In our bathroom the door didn't shut or have a lock. There was a strong smell (of excrement?) coming from the bathroom toilet/drains which you could smell strongly in the bedroom. - Cleanliness - The sheets/sink/toilet were clean, but the rest of the room was dirty. There was muddy/dirty patches all over the walls, there was damp and black mould on the walls. The bathroom door was filthy covered in mould, dust and dirt. - Wi-fi - this did not work in the room - Kitchen - when we checked in we weren't shown the kitchen and only located it a day in when one of the men working there showed us. The kitchen was big, but wasn't super clean. We have been travelling around south America for 3 months and regularly stay in budget accommodation. We do not have very high standards! But, this hostel needs quite a bit of work to make it a suitable place to stay. We had booked 4 nights here but left after 2 nights and were refunded just under the cost of the 2 nights that we didn't stay. When we said we were checking out early, the staff didn't seem too surprised!
The hostel was close to shops and restaurants. Free coffee available in the kitchen. Room was spacious. There was hot water. Nice view from the terrace outside. One of the people working there was friendly and he showed us where the kitchen was when we couldn't find it.

ColombiaThe water pressure is quiet low with warm water - its enough though Biggest minus are the 2 bars next door who battle each other who can be loudest and have the base turned up so that a simple accoustic guitar gives vibrations like at a party. Its super loud. And the problem is not one bar, its both musics together. Usually it stops between 12 and 1am....usually
The place itself is great, people are super friendly. They offer coffee and agua panella and herbal tea for free, which is awesome.
