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 smell of the room wasn’t nice I had to leave the windows open to get fresh air
Good morning, Ms. Paola. Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed our convenient location, the delicious breakfasts, and the efficiency of our staff. When we noticed an odor in the room, we immediately checked and found that a water pipe was leaking due to pressure and generating moisture, which we immediately repaired. We look forward to seeing you again next time.

Verified reviewI liked the location, but the hotel put me between a family (parents in a room on one side), kids (in a room on the other side). They were very noisy, so it was not good for 2 nights. The swimming pool was great after a long day of hiking. The staff were the best. They were kind and willing to give advice and change my reservation.
The walls between the rooms were too thin and you could hear the TV or people talking loudly. I also didn’t like the mosquitos. They should have mosquito nets for rooms.
Mr. Allegra, thank you for taking the time to inform us of your comments. It's great that you enjoyed our pool surrounded by nature and beautiful places to visit. Every day we work to improve by immediately implementing an action plan, we look forward to your next visit to surprise you.

Verified reviewA very good location, a beautiful house with a lot of character and history. The staff, administrators were lovely.
It was extortionately overpriced in comparison with many other properties in Barichara at that time of the year. The bathrooms are very dated and non functional and lack basic items that you’d expect in a hotel of this level. We’ve to ask to get the toilet paper replaced as there is nowhere to store spare ones. The shower didn’t work properly, the fan was very noisy and impossible to adjust. Bed were also uncomfortable. Please note this is not a criticism to the admin team or staff but to whoever runs the place. Also, the breakfast was ok, very rationed and limited once again in comparison with other properties in town.
Mr. Juan, We appreciate the time you have taken to provide us with feedback. We regret not having met your expectations, we will analyze in detail with the areas involved the issues you refer to. For 35 years and as a pioneer tourism hotel in Barichara, we have constantly worked on our improvement, always with the desire to provide enriching and pleasant experiences to our guests, which has been recognized by the majority of them, valuing our efforts by qualifying us with the better grades.

Verified reviewIts well located in this quaint Colombian town. The staff is very friendly, and look to help.
No AC. No gym.
Mr. Albert, Thank you very much for your comments and your visit to the Hotel. Regarding air conditioning, we would like to tell you that the main house was built with the colonial technique of rammed earth more than two hundred years ago. Because air conditioning equipment generates internal humidity, it is not advisable to install them, this would affect the internal structure of the main house and its adjacent buildings. It is for this reason that the Hotel has fans in all its rooms. Regarding the gym, we inform you that, in the area next to the cafeteria the Hotel has a gym, available to guests. ¡Have a very good week!

Verified reviewWhat a beautiful property. Everything was amazing. The hotel is just perfect. My room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was warm and friendly, and always ready to help with whatever i needed. The location was great, just two blocks away from the main square. Breakfast was the same as most Colombian places, but very well prepared. Wifi worked great all the time. The property has a very stately and historic feel to it. The pool was great for cooling down after hiking the camino real. I met the owner as i was leaving and he took the time to say hello, chat for a while and give me some history of the hotel.
Nothing. Everything was great.
For us it was a pleasure to be able to serve him in our hotel and we are pleased to know that he had a very pleasant experience with both us and Barichara, we hope to be able to serve him again on a next visit.
