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.).

A small part of the dirt road to the lake was not in good shape.

Verified reviewI booked the smaller cabana with the view directly from the tub. The jets weren't working, so they upgraded me to a bigger room!
There's only one key per room. And of course I locked myself out. I'm already a native English speaker, and after the upgrade, for me to have forgotten my key in the room...I just felt like an embarrassed foreigner. The staff were great! They had to crawl through the window to get into the room and retrieve the key. I wish it was as easy of just getting another key from the front desk though!

Verified reviewIt is a very beautiful, nice location. I totally recommend the jet ski rental and experience the various open water areas around the location. The supplied breakfast in the morning was perfect. It's close to the rock and also close to the city of Guatapé. Getting there via chiva was very easy. Staff was great, and they made sure that everything was perfect, answered.All questions and actually help with some transportation. I would definitely come back again
There wasn't much I didn't like other than the high humidity. It would have been nice to have a fan in the room..

Verified reviewLocated in the nature. Water sports available for free Rooms are nice.
Got to do something about the mirrored windows. Birds keep constantly flying into it / fighting the mirror making alot of noise and waking up guests at 5-6 am.

Verified reviewThe setting of the Cabañas is amazing. The idea behind the complex is beautiful, and without a doubt, there's a lot of room for improvement with all the potential this places has.
Juan Pablo, the property administrator, was very rude and disrespectful. First, I asked for a bottle of wine/champagne that was supposed to be included with my purchase. This was confirmed by the front desk representative. After all this was cleared out, I started getting messages from the property asking for confirmation numbers and images, files, and screenshots as evidence. I provided them with everything. This kept going all night to the point that I started getting angry voice messages complaining about the bottle of champagne that they were not going to give it for free. I'd like to highlight that this was a <$10 bottle, nothing crazy expensive, and I couldn't understand all this issue for this bottle. Once I saw his attitude, i started explaining other complaints I had, like NO HVAC for starters on a warm day it was, breakfast never arrived on time and not even mentioning that I don't work neither for bookings.com nor the Cabañas Sotavento. I don't need to spend a second of my vacations with paperwork that they need to have set for me. Very very disappointed.

Verified reviewLoved everything here. We had delicious lunch when we arrived and breakfast was also delicious. I loved that we could just message them in Whatsapp to order. Rooms are super clean and have everything you will need and there was a porch and terrace with a gorgeous view. The best part was the service though. The owner helped us to get anything we needed and a reliable taxi on our way to the airport.
There are a lot of items there you need to pay extra for, that I think they can minimize to fewer items.

Verified reviewGreat setting and view of the Penol. Nice spa baths in the rooms.
On the first morning, we were awoken by an aggressive dog (huskey?) trying to get into the room through the sliding door. When I went outside to get rid of it, it started jumping up and would not leave. The staff on reception were not helpful in getting rid of it, advising it was a neighbours dog. The dog then returned and got passed me into the room and jumped onto the bed where my partner was laying. It then started snarling which even as a dog owner was scary. There was nothing myself or the staff could do to get rid of it, and then didn't even seem bothered to try. Breakfast served on the terrace is lovely, but not when a dog is trying to grab the food. On the second night, my friends were staying in one of the adjoining cabins. The guests next door to them were playing very loud music until way past 3am with zero soundproofing between the rooms. There is no 24hr staff to complain to and staff do not respond to the 'concierge' text service. Whilst helpful in arranging taxis into town, there needs to be more staff presence, particularly through the night. The language barrier perhaps proved part of the issue but they seem inexperienced and unable to offer the service such a nice facility deserves. Avoid if you're scared of dogs.

Verified reviewWe are delighted we discovered Sotavento Cabanas. it is a true gem of a small resort. It is set outside the town of Guatape, but an easy 10 minute ride by tuk tuk to the activity, giving you the very best of both worlds. We were in coral cabin, which was on the second floor. The view of the water with the great rock in close distance was wondrous. It seemed that all the cabins had excellent views. We had dinner there two nights, both were first rate and reasonable. Included a lovely breakfast served on your balcony, which never disappointed.
This small resort strives for perfection both in the beauty of the facility as well as the welcoming service of the staff, no need for improvement needed.

Verified reviewAll in all, it was great. Very nice and cozy in the cabin. The jacuzzi overlooking the rock is a delight !!!! Thanks for the awesome place. ☺️🙏🏻🥰👏
The staff is a little inattentive. For example, they didn't help us with our bags. A small thing, but still in places of this level I usually always get help carrying my bags to my room ☺️ This is a small suggestion for improvement ☺️🙏🏻
