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.).

This is a wonderful and friendly hotel and one of my favourite stops in Columbia. Good breakfast and secure garage parking, good cafe next door as well. Near to everything including the street of cafes which was a nice place to go for a beer or coffee. Reception helped with printing off some documents we needed.

Not a dislike but maybe wider breakfast selection would be nice? The breakfast offered is adequate but could benefit from a few additions. Also needs an option of a lightweight bed cover. Our quilt was too warm given that the window was closed for soundproofing.
Atmospheric, historical building, just off Plaza Caldas. Helpful, friendly staff. Quiet room with good soundproof, on the front of the building. Good restaurant in house.

No hot water in the shower
Nice hotel in the centre of the old town of Popayán. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable, at night it was usually very quiet and the room had window blinds completely darkening the room, so got a good sleep there.

First and foremost, the receptionist was the greatest. She was extremely friendly and helpful during the stay. You would have thought she owned the hotel by the service we received during our stay. The location is excellent, right in the middle of town and half a block from the downtown park. Breakfast is included and was excellent. The bedding was excellent and the hot shower seem to last forever. This was my third trip to Popayan and I had been to several hotels, Hotel Camino Real was the real deal.

Nothing!
The hotel is situated in the city centre. There are lots of restaurants around and a tourism office across the town square. The town is picturesque with white colonial houses all around and well worth stopping by. The hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious and the staff very professional. The bed was made everyday and the bathroom is very clean with hot showers. We had a perfect stay!

United States1 review1 helpful vote7.0“Given the price, hotel is good value, but expectations should be managed (no fans or AC)”- • Business trip
- • Group
- • Budget Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
There was no fan (and no AC) available, and it was very hot weather. However luckily it did cool off in the night and was able to sleep (I like it a little cooler temperature). There were no windows into the outside (the windows were into an open center/courtyard- very aesthetically pleasing and unique but had to close them as to not let in mosquitoes/insects). I would suggest visitors bring a mosquito net to sleep in so that you can leave the windows open for a bit (however likely you would close them at night because the windows are easy enough for people to fit through). Visitors should also be prepared to hear every noise from rooms next door and from courtyard - remainder of hotel. The walls are thin and the structure is older so there are gaps under the doors for example so sound travels easily. That said, it also is very low cost so expectations must be managed accordingly.
Charming place. The food at their restaurant (I went for dinner) was excellent and the waitresses working at dinner were fabulous (10/10).Overall the management/owners run the place very well, are very professional and courteous and helpful. The location is great to what I needed. The hotel was very nice aesthetically with a huge open center with rooms surrounding it and a beautiful little courtyard in the center where the restaurant was. Also, considering the low price of stay it was well kept and felt safe.

There were some mosquitos in the room due to some openings on the window.
The hotel building is really nice and typical and staff was very helpful and kind. The room was very basic but with all necessary amenities.
