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 KingdomNo visible signs of any recycling. No wardrobe or closet in bedroom as promised. Extra fee charged if payment by card. No bin in bedroom. Bedroom lighting not brilliant. Remote control to aircon didn't work, so difficult to adjust. Needs more hooks in bathroom. Bathroom mirror not over sink. No much preparation area in kitchen, and not many eating spots.
Hostel located a couple of blocks from beach and 'centre'. COP 25,000 by taxi from Santa Marta bus terminal (set rate). Friendly staff, generally clean, locked gates at night (but bell to ring for access). Own key to room. Plunge pool to cool down in. Very small basic kitchen (3 ring gas hob, fridge/freezer, juicer, pots, pans, crockery etc). Basic breakfast provided (eggs, cheese, toast, bit of fruit, coffee or chocolate) at 'sister' hostel, 10 minutes walk. Generally quiet, but usual south American background noise levels, especially at weekends. Tour information poster for diving etc (good tour company). Very hot, but aircon in large bedroom (it did struggle at times). Basic shelving for clothes storage. Sofa, table, bedside lamp. Hooks for clothes. We had various issues that the manager/receptionist (Juan, great guy), and other staff did everything in their power to resolve, but some things were out of their control (like the plumber not turning up to fix a leak, or the internet company not fixing the router on time). The rating reflects what the hostel should be, and not taking into account the issues we had, because Juan worked with us to get things sorted, or we came to an understanding when the problem wasn't an instant fix, and he tried to ensure we weren't inconvenienced too much. We did encounter more problems than we should have, but hopefully they have been resolved since we left.

United KingdomThe kitchen is small and cluttered with very little work top space but it is usable. No bedside lamp.
Great location, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable. Nice sun terrace, Good WiFi. The plunge pool is a bonus. Take away breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate and at the price per night I was surprised it was included. Air-conditioning was effective. Close to bus stop for Santa Marta. Would happily stay again, no worries.

GermanyI think it could be a really nice place there, if they did a little more to make it comfortable and social. There are hardly any chairs, just an open space with tiny pool. No possibility to chill and read a book outside. No comfortable chairs or hammocks.
The room was really big with space and light and comfortable bed (rather hard mattress, but I like that). The second day I got a little breakfast. It was just unclear when that will be (almost 9). Fridge etc. is there to do your own food.

LuxembourgThe pool was closed when we came but the next day they were fixing it. I don’t know if you can go inside now. The breakfast are very simple (egg, bread, coffee), would love a fruit.
What a pleasure to finally see a big bed!! (180cm) The rooms are great, a lot of place and a wardrobe to put our stuff. I also enjoyed to separate bathroom and the family that were very nice. You can eat also there for lunch and diner and it’s very tasty (a fish for 30k).

PortugalWe did laudry there and when they returned the clothes we noticed there were at least 3 pieces missing. We asked if they could look for them but they answered we didn't give it to them... after we went to the terrace and found there the lost cloths and some more we didn't notice that were missing. Also it was quite expensive for the service we received.
The place is nice and the rooms are clean and confortable. Breakfast was good too (even though the second day we asked if there were no fruits like the day before and they gave them to us like it was a favor they were making us, it wasn't nice).

A friendly family runs this chill place. Close to almost everything in the town, but not to close to bars and the incredibly loud music. Nice and clean and has almost anything you could ask for.
