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 KingdomLovely place 20 minutes walk from the entrance to Taryrona. Incredibly friendly and helpful owner - honestly the way he cared about his guests was an absolute delight and highlight of the stay. The pool is also a great place to cool down after the sweltering heat of the national park.

GermanyOur room was lovely with its own small terrace, comfortable beds and a big bathroom. Breakfast was very good, and for dinner/lunch there where enough good options in walking distance. During our stay we visited Parque Tayrona, did tubing on Rio Don Diego and visited Playa Mendihuaca. Going there was very easy by just stopping a public bus going by. After the activities we enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful pool. Best of all was the host Victor, who was super welcoming and friendly and had a lot of tips for activities, which he can easily organize if you want. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back!

United KingdomNothing - it was fabulous!
We had a fantastic stay at Eco Hostal Kuima. The owner, Victor, was incredibly helpful from start to finish with help on travel and great advice on restaurants (pizza, tacos and Victorias for lunch). There were some issues with the park whilst we were there but he advised us to walk to the entrance (only 20 minutes) and we were able to get in (with the plus side being it was free!). Tayrona is spectacular - well well worth the hike. We saw monkeys, iguanas, crabs, various birds and an alligator. Would recommend Piscina beach as well as Cabo San Juan. We got packed lunches from victor which were also great - tasty and better value than food in the park. On the second day there we just chilled at the hotel, enjoying the pool and reading books from the hammock whilst watching the hummingbirds dart about. Also on the first night there was a massive thunderstorm and the power went out but they had solar back up which kept most things working and they fed us all amidst the thunder and lightning.

AustraliaThe bathroom sink occasionally leaked as the water seeped through the wood.
The hosts were very friendly and assisted in exploring the area and using public transport. The accommodation was spacious with a big shower and built in clothes line. The area has lots of space to hang outside and appreciate the nature.

United KingdomThe hostel manager Victor was extremely helpful; he gave us advice numerous times about trips, tours, booked us a taxi, arranged packed lunches for when we wanted a day in Tayrona Park, etc. Nothing seemed like an inconvenience to him. He also allowed us to check in 90 mins early. Hostel was clean, rooms were a good size, had a lovely pool area (again good size) and was good value for money. Was 1km walk to the park which was helpful and had a handful of nice restaurants and cafes nearby (on the main road just outside). Would 100% use again and recommend to friends and family.

CanadaWe had a great stay! The room was comfortable and very clean. Air con worked great and even without it, the room itself felt quite airy and not too hot despite the temperatures along the coast. The pool is really clean and nice. The guest kitchen is also a perk. Overall, good amenities! Tayrona entrance is walkable or you can catch one of the buses that passes in front of the hostel. We liked the location and found it convenient. Highly recommended.

We had an incredible stay at Eco Hostal Kuima. The bedroom and bathroom were both spacious and they had a patio outside to sit. The garden and the pool was anazing.We spent our last day just relaxing at the hotel. It was also a great place to do birdeatching from the terrace. They had two really cute dogs at the hotel aswell. Victor (hotel manager) really looked after us. He during our stay making us feel very welcome, recommended where to go in the national park, restaurants nearby to eat at ( La victoria and Pizza Tiki Hut On The Road both had great food) He also helped us with onward transportation to Minca. The main entrance to the national park (el zaino) is also only a 25 minute walk away. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay whilst you're visiting the national park.

Loved this place. Great host Victor and his family who were communicative and always helpful without ever being over bearing. It's got an amazing pool you can actually swim in. Comfortable ensuite rooms with style and comfort and a little bar for the evenings. Breakfast was also really good too. Highly recommend it here.

ColombiaThe bed was a bit small and hard for us. WiFi were also a bit unstable. However, this seemed to be a problem for the whole area. Would also be nice with some hot water for the bath tub.
The hostal was very close to the park, which was nice after a long day of hiking. The manager was very helpful at all times. He also had very good english. Overall a nice stay if youre looking for something calm and close to the Tayrona park. Would recommend :-)

United KingdomThere were really heavy rains at night during our stay which knocked out the local water supply, and when there was water, hot water was patchy, but a fix was being worked on. The wooden taps and basins look kooky but don’t work as well as regular ones.
A good value and characterful base to get to the park and a good place to spend time chilling out. Our room was clean and the air con worked perfectly. Breakfasts were nice, served by the smiling ladies with freshly prepared fruit. Over four nights we found that the restaurant right next door called Coconuts was great for lunch or dinner, and you can order in. As the other reviews say, Victor cares that his guests are happy. We were there over new year and he gave us excellent advice to visit the park on the 31st as it would be packed on the 1st and 2nd. We had a great hike and we saw huge queues the day after. Park entrance is walkable but big lorries on the roads sometimes.
