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 KingdomThe dormitories smelt a bit damp, I think that is due to the showers being hot and no window ventilation.
What can I say?! Absolutely stunning building with so much character! The roof terrace was fabulous at night with great views of the city. The kitchen is handy and there is a pool, which I didn't use- but what a lovely feature. The rooms were spacious and well equipped and well thought out for a traveller (I stayed in two different dormitories). Nice hot showers and stylish bathrooms. The pizza restaurant downstairs is yummy and the breakfast is also fabulous! Would highly recommend staying here!

The pool is great and help you refresh from the hot sun. The bed was very comfortable too and good breakfast. I forgot my jacket there and when I was taking it back they had washed it for me 🤩

United KingdomNot the most social hostel. Despite the rooftop bar being quite cool it never seemed busy? I also didn’t appreciate the lack of quiet hours: one night a group of boys came into the dorm and turned all the lights on at half one in the morning, and were laughing and shouting for ages. As a solo female traveler I didn’t feel comfortable asking them to be quiet. I appreciate late nights are a thing! And I often go out myself but for those needing to catch early flights or get up early this wasn’t great.
Location was perfect. Super clean and tidy, and the rooftop was great. Rooms felt cool despite the heat. And the building itself was beautiful.

United StatesThe lockers are cheap cheap .. if someone wanted your stuff, it would be super easy to get it. This wasn't a problem, but it's more of a comment. Breakfast is small it's basically an egg and juice and not buffet or anything like that. The facilities are nice but not as nice as photos.
It's a good location and the staff are friendly. It's also comfortable. Good beds for a hostel and bathrooms are clean and easy to use.

CanadaThe clogged drain is hard to ignore because it makes the whole bathroom floor totally soaked. I don't understand why this issue is not addressed. Impossible to ignore by cleaning staff. Other guest had to use paper towels to try to keep the feet dry. The automatic movement sensored light that open even at night for the whole room, not necessary after 10pm...
Nice space provided for the bed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Lovely decoration of the hostel. wifi is decent. Nice équipement for the bed (drying rack, 2 lamps, electric outlets, safe). Hot water and good water pressure appreciated 👍🏻

United KingdomThe only downside was it was quite noisy at night. I’m not sure if all rooms would be like this, however my dorm was backed onto the main street and of course noise can be expected with the night life from Cartagena.
Great location in the historical centre of Cartagena. The dorm beds are great, big pod style beds with lights, plug sockets and a curtain to close over. Rooms have AC through the night and a fan during the day. There is also a great little pool which is perfect to cool down in after exploring the city throughout the day.

United KingdomI thought the music came from the rooftop bar but actually it comes from a speaker around the pool which is totally illogical late at night as the pool is closed. Went on quite late. Also our bathroom flooded if there were a couple of people back-to-back who used it. Although I think this had more to do with the users 😉
The location is great with a maze of small colonial streets, filled with bars, shops, banks & restaurants on the doorstep. The beach & fort walls are close too. I liked the funky decor. The small pool was nice to chill in after the heat of Cartagena. Nice rooftop bar. Very secure room with key card access. Breakfast was & nice inclusion, if a little small.

IrelandThe kitchen is not well equipped. One knife, pans that can't stand straight on the stove, no chopping board.. a quick fix really! Also the dorm we had had no lock for main door while all the other rooms did, was a bit uncomfortable at the start especially since the restaurant and top floor are open to the general public.
The pool was great and clean, perfect for cooling down during the hot hours of the day. The cube concept for the dorm beds was comfortable as it was an 18 bed dorm, so it made it feel more private. The AC in the dorms was fab. The staff are friendly and answered any queries we had.

FranceCasa Movida didn't really have the 'hostel vibe' to me: the common areas are designed to sell food, drinks or services rather than for travellers to meet and socialise. Everything is very expensive too: e.g. I have been asked 35,000 COP for 1x bag of laundry... which I ended up paying 8,000 COP at the local laundry which was 5 min walk away (4 times cheaper!!). Few maintenance issues to raise: light sensors not programmed properly (you might find yourself taking a shower in the dark), dorm door not closing properly and therefore door alarm ringing until someone get out of their bed to shut it properly... am not too sensitive to noise, but everything was very noisy at Casa Movida overall
Pretty building, facilities are quite functional (aside from few maintenance issues), good co-working area and reliable wifi.

JapanKitchen could be better. Stove was not strong enough, needed 30mins to make just boiling water. And my food got stolen twice from the fridge. I liked their co-working space but there were a lot of mosquitoes and too noisy with musics and restaurant staffs(that space is also for staffs too) so but hard to had video chat No soap, hair dryer, seasonings except salt, and towel is additional charge Dorm has air conditioning which works well but they turns off during the day Idk why but only the dorm at the next to the stairs doesn’t have room key(the other dorms has), and people are visiting randomly for the rooftop bar, I don’t think that’s the best for security
Clean. Have privacy with this pod type of bed. They have co-working space, wifi works perfectly
