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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesMy main gripe is the unnecessarily loud music in the common area in the evenings. Had to yell over the music just to talk to other travelers, creating a pretty unsocial vibe.
Good central location in La Candelaria. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a private room which was clean and comfortable.

United StatesThe smells of the cleaning agents and from the laundry room. Too overwhelming and perfumy.
Hostel atmosphere with friendly and supportive employees. They organize tours and take care of all needs their guests may have. Located right in the Candelaria neighborhood. Sleeping was possible thanks to good noise insulation. There are double doors between the public area where the bar (and music) is located and the sleeping quarters. On our second stay we were assigned to room 204, and it had wonderfully thick glass windows that reduced the hardcore partying in the neighborhood to a faint murmur.

United Arab EmiratesWould be great to have a window blind to keep out the early morning or late night lights from the courtyard outside my room. It was blurred glass, but a little hard to sleep with the bright light.
Staff went above and beyond in the Cranky Croc. The breakfast (paid extra) was incredible and the bed was the comfiest in south America. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Bogota. They also helped me arrange a transfer to the airport and I joined the walking tour led by Jacqueline which was very informative and interesting.

United KingdomMaybe in the future, a card/key to get into the actual rooms just for added security (although I had 0 issues).
Really enjoyed my stay in this hostel! Some of the standouts were: - All of the staff are super friendly and helpful - The airport transfers were safe, punctual and well-organised (thank you to Carlos Arturo!) - The location in La Candelaria is close to shops, restaurants and museums - The tours that they hostel helps to organise are great, and it's convenient that they depart from and return to the hostel - The food in the hostel restaurant is lovely, or you can use the kitchen to make your own - The common space is separated from the rooms, so even if there's music or chatting, you can't hear it from the rooms (unlike most hostels) - There's a social vibe, but a relaxed one rather than intense party (you can easily go out into Bogotá if you want that) - The pods are great - they give you extra comfort and privacy and they've got all the 'little things' that you need: hooks, plug sockets, lamps, lockers - Everywhere was clean and the showers worked well
