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 KingdomBusy road outside with fast traffic. Care needed to cross road. Cannot hear see or hear it from Tawaca.
Super welcoming hosts. Gave us an extra cabana at no extra cost as our 3 children are grown up-(Booking.com hadn't passed them that information). Beautiful place. Orlando helped buy some medicine for my son. Also gave great tips on walking to Tayrona park. Andrea cooked fantastic meals and had interesting stories about Tawaca. Facilities were great.

United KingdomSuch an amazing place so beautiful. Great place to gp and relax, or a good base for trips out and about. It's located on the main road sp buses are easily accessible. Andrea is an amazing host ❤️ . The breakfast provided was more than enough and kept you fuelled fpr long treks out to the jungle. The other items on the food menu (which is open 24hr) are amazing for the price and beautifully prepared. You won't be disappointed. Just remember your in the jungle so there will be bugs but if that's not your thing I doubt you would be in santa marta anyway ! 😉 I'll be back for sure !

The best place we have stayed in colombia. The family are the nicest people and did everything to make us feel at home. The home cooked meals were the best food we have eaten in 2 months of backpacking. We also did a tour to tayrona national park that was organized by the owner. This was the fantastic as we avoided al the queues and ended being the very first people to enter the park. Sensational. The place is a dream. The natural pool is beautiful. The pet dogs and the pet ducks are lovely. There was also a rescued horse who lived within the grounds who was very friendly popped her head in to the bungalow every now and then to say hello. The room was perfect and the bed was 5* comfortable. We loved this place and the value for money is incredible. Thank you, Nelson and your family for the time we had.

NetherlandsWell, I was seeing other people's comments about the power of the water. ro actually seems normal to me.
The location is exceptional, having the opportunity to live in the middle of nature with comforts is amazing and listening to the birds sing and the fresh air and well-organized facilities, I really liked it. For lovers of a healthy life and adventurous good living and also those who like peace, it is a very appropriate place. I was sad not to stay longer but my next vacation we will be back. Thank you very much for all the attention.

New ZealandThe room was really dirty, lots of bugs, cobwebs on the ceiling, bed was old and lumpy. No TV in the room as advertised but they bought one on request, no bedside tables. Lots of rubbish around the grounds and unfinished parts of the resort as well as large barking dogs in a cage. There’s elements of design in the main restaurant but has potential to be so much nicer with a bit more maintenance, cleanup and finishing - the owners are so lovely I hope they action that. Was also unfortunate so many trucks on main road so close so wasn’t so peaceful.
The staff here are really lovely and attentive and the breakfast was great as well as free cocktails, the garden around has so much potential as does the resort but the disrepair and cleanliness really let it down, we were disappointed considering the other reviews, also the large pool was under maintenance and we weren’t told when we booked.
