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.).

The room was quite small and so a little expensive for what you get. But all in all we really enjoyed our stay with Helena for 3 nights. Quiet location but very close to walk into town.
The shower was great. The roof terrace a good place for a drink. There was a fridge to cool your drink.

The room is a bit small and basic. We heard the construction works but only during the day.
It's in a lovely quiet part of the town, and the views over the valley from the street and from the terrace upstairs were really stunning!

Bathroom is definitely too small. Noise from construction next door started at 06:30am. Will probably last until mid 2024. Was not a problem at night. And probably not a problem if you take a back room.
Friendly new hotel. Nice small room with balcony, with view over the valley below. At night very quiet, …but lots of construction work nearby. Very near acclaimed restaurant Helena and MoCafe Lovely top terrace with hammock

I didn't really enjoy the earthquake that woke me up one morning, but I can't really blame the hotel for that :)
Spotless, comfortable. Juan and Manuel who worked there couldn't have been more helpful. Great kitchen, great location. Great price.

The lack of windows. If we go back, we would make sure we reserve the front room: it has more space, faces the front of the house and has a beautiful balcony. I would recommend putting a small table in the kitchen, so that when people eat they can sit somewhere.
House is totally new, and the hotel has been open for a couple of weeks only. Even with that little time, Manuel and Juan are pros. They know what they are doing and are very concerned about the wellbeing of their guests. We had one of the rooms at the back, which unfortunately didn’t have windows and was tight for 3 people. Bathroom was also tight (I banged my head with the doorknob when I got up from the toilet). Comfortable for us because we are not very big. Not sure how comfortable it would be for plus size people. Beds and bedding were comfortable, towels were fluffy and smelled nice. The house is close to the main street in Filandia. Everything is accessible from there. There is no parking on site, but you can park on a street near by, or in a paid parking lot a block away.

Our room that stated 1st floor was actually ground floor in the hall area 10 steps away from the reception. The window (indoor window) on the website looked out onto this reception area and kitchen, so no privacy there. The walls were like paper , so early on a Sunday morning all the conversations at 7am. in reception we’re like they were in our room! We definitely would have moved before we stayed but the town was full. The description on the website was very misleading.
The room was very small but clean. The towels were fluffy and thick and the water from the shower was hot.
