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.).

ItalyLimited vegan options for breakfast, should consider implementing this since there are many international travellers. The room was big but dark (no proper window). The toilet was also quite big, but permanently flooded (due to humidity of the location it never dried up). We requested new toilet rolls since the one in place was soaked.
We spent three nights at Kanta Sana, and had a very good experience. Bed was big and comfortable, room was clean. There is no A/C but a fan, and mosquito net is provided. They supported us with booking a taxi to/from the hostel, and provided information when asked. We also used the laundry service, which was efficiently ready within 24hrs. Pool is big enough and there's plenty of space to hang out outside the room.

Canada- A guy receptionist would rather find himself working in a morgue, but I heard he isn't there anymore. - not allowed to use kitchen for guest, only for volunteers. The receptionist was running to me nervously when they saw me using it, even though I just wanted to wash and cut some fruits!
Beautiful place, hands down. I felt more like in a resort, not in the hostel. Unusual decor, furnishings. The design is made in a certain theme of different colors, naturalness, naturally shaped wood. Spacious. You can find place for your own. Yoga everyday and a basic gym.

GermanyStayed in the dorm next to the Pool. The dorm was basic but had everything, including a fan, a locker and a small lamp for each bed. Showers are big (water ist cold, but totally fine in this climate). Common area really nice and Like in the Pictures including a small gym area. Break-fast is nothing special but good.

CanadaThey did have quiet hours, although the music was quite loud until 10pm. Our 2nd night, we think they forgot about the quiet hours time because the loud music continued until after 11pm. We got a private room, but the sound travelled quite a bit between rooms despite this. Bring ear plugs! This hostel is also on a street a few mins walk from the main street of Palomino. It was safe enough but not as well lit as we would have liked!
The design of this hostel was really interesting - they incorporated the construction well with the nature of the area. The breakfast was excellent and they had a good selection from their restaurant as well. It was convenient to be able to charge food and drinks to the room and then pay the bill upon checkout. They also have a helpful book of activities at reception and they even booked a tubing tour for us and a taxi to the airport when we left! Very helpful staff.

GermanyIt can get a little noisy if you want to sleep super early or have neighbors which are talking loudly. But that's just a minor thing :)
It's an amazing place to stay in Palomino. Really liked the attention to detail in the whole place, it's very beautiful. Also, the food is very good and we could join a free Yoga class, which was great. Staff is really nice, helped us with transportation back to the airport. Thank you again! It was our second time in Kanta Sana and we'll probably coming back soon!

AustriaThe only thing missing is a small kitchen for guest use.
Breakfast was good, offering three different meals (Eggs, Yoghurt or Pancakes) all accompanied by fruit and a different juice each day. Great to be able to cool down in the pool Nice relaxing areas with hammocks. Also there was a small gym and space for your yoga/sports practice. Also I enjoyed the chance for a waterbottle refill at reception for 1000COP per litre.

SlovakiaWater was free at the beginning of my stay but became scarce and therefore paid for during the last days. Some people might have problem with a bit of noise from nearby hostels or people talking in the evening in the common areas.
Relaxed vibes, the whole place is basically a tree garden, with loads of hammocks and places to chill within the bamboo construction, nice pool. Restaurant and bar available most of the day. Tasty breakfast included. Location a bit further from the main street but this allows for more peaceful environment.

ColombiaWhen we arrived at the hostel they put us in a different room from the images I booked but they had the same facilities, so there was no problem, but in the middle of the stay they asked us to change the room to the one I originally booked, it was a little annoying because we were already comfortable but the truth was not so serious. The bad and good thing is that it was very close to the entrance road of Palomino, so getting to the hostel was very easy, the bad thing is that it was a little far from the beach 20 minutes walk or so, but most of the road had businesses and was nice.
the hostel is very nice, the breakfasts were delicious and there were many options in the menu, from what we could taste everything was delicious, they had many open areas, pool table and places to rest; the people of the hostel were very friendly and nice.
