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 huts were super cute and cosy, bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms felt luxurious. The pool was an essential in the Colombian heat and well utilised by us. I strongly recommend the massage parlour !
The wifi occasionally dropped out and we had a few black outs secondary to stormy weather.

Verified reviewI stayed at Eco Hostal Yuluka as a solo traveller to explore Tayrona Nationalpark. The Hostal is extremely well located, just a 30 minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride from the East entrance El Zaino. The Hostal is very clean and the dorms with mosquito nets and huge lockers. Isabella and Klara from the reception were a delight and also Mike from the restaurant was kind and extremely helpful, I felt very looked after and welcomed. They also practised Spanish with me, muchas gracias por eso :) Overall a wonderful stay and I would definitely stay here again in the future!

Verified reviewWe stayed 3 nights. The staff was great and really helpful. They also gave us a free ride to the El Zaino entrance of the Tayrona park.The enviornment of the hostal is really beautiful, set in the nature, so it really feels very relaxing. The breakfast and the dinner at the restaurant were very tasty :) on the last day after check out, they let us stay in the hostal and still take advantage of the pool and beautiful facilities for relaxing.
Unfortunately we experienced several set backs during our stay. It started with a pick up from the airport which was supposed to be organised by the hostal. After arriving we found out that no one was waiting for us. Though we had to wait for 45 minutes after arriving, the staff helped us arrange a taxi to the hostal. The room was cozy and as per photos, however, we did not have hot water in shower (after 2 nights they fixed it), there was a blood stain in the bath, the sink in the bathroom was leaking water to the floor and our air conditioning was not working properly (we could not adjust the temperature) so we were using the fan instead. The fan worked well but it was dirty and since it was exactly on top of the bed, it made our bed messy (lot of small grains). We also had several bugs in our room and heard very loud frog sounds at the night which made it difficult to sleep but that's something you have to count with if you are staying in nature. :)

Verified reviewBeautiful grounds. Staff (especially Miguel) were amazing and had helpful tips. Free shuttle to park entrance was great and so was the free laundry. The food was really tasty and they could cater for vegans well. The private room we stayed in was nice and big and felt very private.
The hostel dogs bark a lot (including at night) so if you’re staying in the rooms close to the reception area, it may be annoying.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay! Everything was comfortable and clean, staff was amazingly friendly and me and my friend could store our luggage to go to Tayrona, it has a social vibe, I liked the food in the restaurant and the cute dogs strolling around.
Breakfast could have been a bit better and it’s very loud due to its location at the Main Street. For me it was ok because thar made it very accessible.

Verified reviewGreat stay! We enjoyed the private room with a lovely balcony to relax on. Pool was great, surrounded by nature, staff do a great job keeping the outdoor areas tidy. Kitchen with filtered water & a washing machine for free use .
We appreciated the shuttle to Tayrona however it would be better if the shuttle left earlier as the line was 2 hours long when we arrived.
