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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaPlace states there is a Gym. It's just an outdoor area with bars.
Great views from our balcony. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food from the restaurant was delicious and the portions were generous. Overall a great place to stay. We came by mototaxi which was a bit hairy. We decided to walk back to Minca rather than motobike it. Glad we did. Managed to see Howler monkeys on our way down.

United StatesThey need to be more specific about the road conditions and really emphasize that you must have a 4x4. When it was explained at first it seemed more like a suggestion than a requirement. But, boy! It is required
It is a hidden gem. Amazing views, amazing staff, good comfortable rooms, great food! Surrounded by nature

ColombiaThe price of food and drinks was quite expensive with plenty of items marked at 50,000-70,000. You also have to arrange your own transportation from the village of Minca which takes around 40 mins on a 4x4 at 140,000 each way. I was charged 15,000 for a broken glass, an additional 5,000 for extras that are written in a subtle way in the menu. I mean, it was fine...just really expensive.
Breathtaking view of the mountains and you can see Santa Marta and the sea. Property is quite green. I stayed in the "superior" cabin and ot was worth it as it felt a little more private. I was met at arrival at the gate. Staff was very attentive.

UkraineThe shared cabañas have no sound wall - so be ready to share every sound with the dorms next to you. It was not worth the price we paid as a family (paid for 6 beds and we were 4). Adding with the cost of GETTING there, it was the most expensive stay of our trip. The cascada (the main thing to do around) is not so impressive.. Also the place advertise late check in, but their gate close at 7pm. We were really stressed about this with our 2 young kids, gladly got on site à 7pm sharp. We wanted to cancel the same day because we were affraid of not getting there on time but they take a prepayment so we had already pay…
Beautiful place with amazing view. Amazing staff, truly. Good food but be ready to wait it is very slow.

ItalyTheir were a few details that could have been shared on the website before hand and the prices for everything except cocktails were a little steep but in a remote location on top of the mountain it's to be expected.
The location, the view from the room, the food, the cocktails, the friendly staff, the free guide to the waterfall, the swimming pool, the dogs, the design.

United StatesThe property is stunningly beautiful. The pool is completely natural, the private cabins are very romantic, and there are these incredible nets you can lay on to watch the sunset and stargaze at night. The restaurant has a very delicious menu with lots of gluten free options. The windows in the cabins have screens which is good to keep the bugs out. The view from the pool is enchanting. You have to try this house specialty chocolate-coffee martini. It was one of the best drinks I have tasted. The staff was very accommodating and kind to us. A special shout out to Yaneris for helping me get a thermos of hot water for my nighttime tea. A special shout out to Fabián for helping me and my partner find this hidden waterfall and helping us find the trail. Overall an incredible place, definitely worth paying the extra money for the transportation to get to Campano.

CanadaIt is a TREK to get there and really removed from the sites of Minca unless you are okay paying to go back and forth (but it can get pricey and it's about 40 minutes one way). You need to bring the most high octane mosquito and bug repellant - they are intense.
The location was stunning, the staff were exceptional, and the food at the restaurant was pretty great. The views are really hard to beat. They have these really cool lounging nets to hang out in and a spring water pool. If you like dogs and cats, there are a few and they're all pretty friendly.

CanadaAbsolutely stunning views!!! Whether from looking out from our room, the restaurant or the pool/bar, there were spectacular vistas of the Sierra Nevadas all around. Staff were awesome, really friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. Chilly at night but we loved that and they have extra blankets if needed. Giant hammock for lounging by reception area - we very much enjoyed stargazing and the view of Santa Marta all lit up at night from it. Rooms are not bug/mosquito proof though, so bring your bug spray! The pool is cold so get your swimming in during the daylight unless you're looking for a cold plunge. Food was very tasty. We saw many birds flying from tree to tree, including toucans, as well as moths & butterflies while there (only 1 night but we wish we could've stayed at least 2 more nights).The ride up the mountain is an adventure of its own, its very high up on narrow switchbacks. Be prepared to hire a 4x4 transport (150,000 k each way from Minca) to get there. Do not try to arrange a ride through uber or moto taxis. Uber wouldn't take us past Minca and though our mototaxis tried their best, they were not able to make it up the mountain much beyond the pavement as it had rained the day before and the road was pure mud. If it's rained at all in the last 72 hours, you'll probably end up hiking it the rest of the way (we learned this the hard way lol). Hotel can help you arrange an appropriate ride if you contact them a day in advance.

CanadaIt’s very isolated. Unless you have access to a 4x4, you are captive there for your stay, and have to eat and drink at their facilities (which were good). But we stayed 2 nights and it was perfect. If we had a fridge in the room for beverages and snacks, it would have been even better.
The view is exceptional. We loved our cabin balcony. We went on a free guided hike to a waterfall, which they offer every morning.
