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...).

SwitzerlandBeautiful family hotel with great breakfast. Only a few minutes away from the main Tayrona parc entrance. Restaurants and services a few meters away. Also a nice place to remote work. Big thanks to Eduardo for his help and kindness, and shoutout to Mathias. Highly recommended!

United KingdomThe main road it is on is loud and doesn’t have many food options, but that is not their fault and also a minor inconvenience
The staff were lovely and so, so friendly. It was an extremely clean and restful place. They let us extend our stay due to being ill which was so kind of them. The rooms have aircon and are nice and spacious.

A wonderfully welcoming, family-run business. The hostess was exceptionally warm, and our room was immaculate. The laundry service was outstanding, with my clothes returned perfectly folded. Breakfast was excellent, and the pool area was beautifully decorated. We truly felt at home at this hostel, which also offers great value. Conveniently located just a short walk from the El Zaino entrance of Tayrona National Park. Highly recommended!

ColombiaThe water pressure in the room wasn't the best, yet this place is very recommended for any future stay
The pool was very cute and the decorations around it were really nice. The staff was incredibly nice to us, and helped us in amazing ways. Their advice was great for going to the beaches around the area, and they even helped us when one of us got stung by an odd insect. Super helpful the whole stay.

Czech RepublicStaff is not efficient according to European standards - the breakfast starts at 7am, but you have to count with 30 minutes for preparation. Wifi sometimes does not work. Cold shower only (but this seems to be common in the northern part of Colombia).
Located practically at the main road to Tayrona National Park, the hostel is well situated so that you don't really hear the traffic. Staff is friendly and breakfasts are tasty (choice of 4 options). Beautiful swimming pool with clean water. Friendly cat as a bonus :)
