How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe rooms were especially pristine, the master bed was extremely comfortable and large. Sheets were luxurious.
Three of our party were in the family room. The pub next door was very loud - music went on until after 3am on Saturday night. Sunday was before 1am. Not helpful when you are up early for treks etc. I was disappointed that the staff didn’t suggest an alternative room when I raised the complaint after Day 2 (the king room was super serene, by the courtyard). There were lots of empty rooms and I would have been happy to pay extra. Neither receptionist spoke English. The owners, Pedro and Belinda were friendly and accommodating, had extremely good English but were busy at the restaurant.

Verified reviewCleanness, small, very quiet and relaxed hotel. Super nice personnel. Great restaurant just a few steps from the hotel.
That the road in front is in construction. But it's not the fault of the hotel.

Verified reviewNothing much
I would not recommend anyone to stay here. We didn’t have water to shower 2 out of 3 days during our stay. When we asked the staff, she said the town is out of water. However,other hotels had water to shower. A quick search on the review it seems to be a common problem other guests also experiences with this hotel. We didn’t receive any apology or compensation. In addition, the Wi-Fi of the hotel is extremely poor. The sound isolation is also poor (however that is common in Colombia).

Verified reviewThe hotel is well located, near the main square and walking distance to touristic options. The owners and staff are always available to help you. Also, the hotel have a very good one block away restaurant, which I absolutely recommend.
Didn't like the breakfast isn't served in the hotel, but at the restaurant they own, one block away. The rooms didn't have tv cable or option to use it with apps.

Verified reviewGreat location. Quiet at night. Helpful and friendly hotel staff.
It was a bit hot for us as there was no AC, but hard to find a hotel in Salento with AC. The only “window” we could open would open to the courtyard so no privacy and light came in the room from the courtyard until about 10:40 pm (that’s when they manually turn it off). Breakfast was ok. A bit monotonous after the third day (eggs and bread with a bit of fruit). Why don’t hotels in Colombia offer more fruit?

Verified reviewBeautifully decorated in bright colors in the classical Salento style with tile floors throughout. The "windows" in each room are colorfully painted shutters with multiple panel that open. Very traditional and cheery. The entire hotel is kept immaculately at all times and there's a small but inviting garden in the courtyard. Bed was large, super comfortable, had nice linens and had pillows of different density so you can choose. Good towels and toiletries supplied and the shower had good pressure. I never needed hot water, so I'm not sure if it is available. Staff are fabulous, always cheerful, friendly and very helpful. Security is 24 hours and you leave your keys at reception. Location is quiet and quite close to the bus station. Breakfast was eggs (your choice), a small but tasty chorizo, arepas, juice, fresh fruit, coffee.and white or brown bread toast, all prepared freshly for each person. In fact the restaurant is also a great choice for lunch or dinner and they have a good selection of wines available in both full and half bottles. I regret not eating there until my last night.
Because of the building materials, noise can carry if people are being loud. There is, however, no noise from the street as the hotel is on a quieter street a few blocks from the main bar area.

Verified reviewThe rooms were wonderful. Spacious and felt luxorious. The location is very good. The staff was very supportive and attentive. My special greetings go to the breakfast team! We stayed in Beta for 3 nights, and after 1 night they already knew our "special needs" and served it without saying a word :) Kudos also for the football/soccer field next to the breakfast area. It was great place for the kids to burn their energy while waiting for the family to finish their meal.
Wifi could be better. It didn't even sync my Icloud, and none of our party of 8 people, could download important documents or log into governmental sites that needed special verification. SO.. if internet is a MUST for you, then reconsider. Social media worked fine. :) Also one thing you should take into account, that all rooms are open to the courtyard, which is public and shared. We had children with us, and of course they wanted to run around the open premises, also we woke up very early because of the time difference, so all the noise kids will make, is heard to the other rooms as well, because it's all so open. So I think we might have caused some trouble for other guests who would have loved to sleep longer than 8. ALthough we tried our best to keep everything very hushed at least till breakfast time. But I believe these types of open colonial style rooms it is pretty much so everywhere in Salento.

Verified reviewThe property is close to the centre of town without being noisy. It has a separate restaurant, which is excellent. I had dinner there as well as breakfast, which was included in the room price. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff.
The rooms all open onto a corridor or open air central space. This is fine except if there are noisy guests. There are no actual windows but you can close the shutters if you don’t want anyone looking into your room. More choice at breakfast would have been good.

Verified reviewRoom was very clean. Window faced an interior courtyard. It was quiet as a graveyard at night, which is what I wanted for a peaceful sleep. (I didn't see any other guests at the hotel during my stay. I might have been the only one.) The hotel is only a short (3-5 min) walk to the town square. All the front desk staff were pleasant to deal with, and they were patient with my minimal/awful Spanish. The only quirky thing is I had to leave my room key with the front clerk every time I exited the hotel. Nonetheless, I found this hotel quite good for a two-night stay, was very pleased with its cleanliness, and would stay there again.
