Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe only thing I would add is that the pool area would be more inviting if some sun beds were laid out. Other than this it was a perfect stay.
Really loved this place. The room was spacious and clean and also came with a terrace. The team was super friendly and their onsite restaurant rustled up delicious food fast. Most importantly for me, it’s located almost opposite one of the entrances to parque tayrona so no need to stay in areas such as Santa Marta and risk traffic.

United KingdomCan’t think of anything! It was great!
Perfect location just outside of Zaino entrance to Tayrona NP. The room was very comfortable - great aircon, comfortable beds, good shower. There was a nice balcony overlooking a river and the sound of the jungle and river was serene (hardly any noise at all from the highway and absolutely not a problem for me despite me being a light sleeper). There was also a great pool for cooling off and the staff provided beach towels in addition to bath towels. The staff were friendly and helpful, including storing our luggage for one night for free while we headed into the national park. Breakfast was great (served at 7:30am to give us time to get to the park entrance at 8am and dinner options were also good. Great value for money overall. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends and family.

AustraliaRestaurant staff were not particularly welcoming. The shower was cold but I imagine that is quite common for hotels in this area.
The staff members who checked me in and showed me my room were super friendly & welcoming. The room was very very clean & spacious and had a lovely balcony overlooking the river. I didn't use the pool but it looked clean & inviting. Excellent location only a few minutes walk to El Zaino entrance. They're happy to store your luggage while you're in the National Park.

The staff upon our arrival was great and kept the kitchen open so we could eat. The room was comfortable and provided a great stopping point before visiting Tayrona Park (the location couldn't be any better). They held our bags overnight while we ventured to the park and spent the night. The food was also delicious - large portions - Highly recommend to anyone!

United KingdomNot a problem as tayrona is so hot but just FYI to other travellers there’s no hot water so showers are cold. The pool is great but there is only 1 sun lounger for the whole hostel!
Great location based just opposite the el zaino entrance to the park. The staff are friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Eg letting us have a very late check out with no issue. Comfortable spacious rooms and a lovely big pool that was empty most days !

NetherlandsOnly cold shower. Upon arrival, I was quoted a wrong/higher price for the night. I showed my booking.com email and it got rectified immediately, but it is important to check! (Strangely enough the same happened at the register at Tayrona NP, always double check pricing!)
Great location, only 1 minute walking from the bus stop and the Tayrona NP entrance. Room was spacious with AC, nice balcony overlooking the river. Great options in the restaurant. I could leave my bag while I was exploring Tayrona NP.

CanadaStayed one night and there wasn’t enough toilet paper. Had not been topped after previous guests. Overall the room was clean. However given small gap at the bottom of door, bugs entered the room. I had to kill a couple cockroaches including one on top of the bed.
Less than 5 mins walk to the El Zaino entrance to Tayrona NP. Perfect to stay night before hike to Cabo San Juan. Food and drinks were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Perfect location! 2 mins walk to the park entrance and even though it’s located on the main road the rooms are behind the main building which covers from the noise. The staff was so nice! Every single person always kept a smile and has been helpful. The restaurant was good!
