Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

PortugalSome of the doors were very low. We had some mosquitoes in the room.
Lovely staff and a great breakfast with an amazing view of the bay. The beach was just a short walk away.

CanadaPlace is really nearby the pueblo, just a few minutes up the hill, but you have to be careful going up as there is no sidewalk, you basically walk on the side of the road and Colombians are a bit agressive with their way to drive 😅 Light in the room is also maybe a bit too bright and the small side lamp provided was not working properly.
I just stayed a night there to relax from my trip to Tayrona, and I slept like a baby! They have a very clean terrace with a swimming pool where you can enjoy the sunset while sipping your piña colada. Not to mention "Coco", the cute and playful owner dog, I fell in love with her 😍

CanadaThe walk between the hostal and the village is a little dangerous, I wouldnt recommend doing it with small children (no sidewalks and curves with at times buses)
The view on the bay is WOW! The service was good. Room was clean and had a cute private balcony! It was really HOT and did well to put AC plus a big FAN.

CanadaStreet noise was constant as it’s close to the road and our room was next to the pool mechanical room so that was also noisy. Shower pressure not great but hey, it’s Colombia!
Good location, basic but clean accommodation. Very nice staff. Far enough away from the beach/town so music noise not an issue. Pool small but nice and the hammock was fun!

FinlandIt is good to know that even though it is close to the beach, the road or the stairs there are not nice. Also the hostel has a lot of stairs. It is ok for healthy people, but it can be a problem if there are any special needs.
We liked this hostel and Taganga very much. The view was great, the pool was nice, breakfast was good and Taganga is a nice village. We also visited the National park and Playa Grande. I travelled with my two adult daughters and this was a good choice for us.

NetherlandsThey leave the light on, what means in our case that we had light in the room during the night. Also the door had an open spot, so mosquitos could easily enter the room.
Lovely staff. Great view from the swimmingpool/terrace. Quiet place and due to that a quiet sleep. Breakfast was good, also dinner.

Very good value for money! Generelly the room and the hostel is basic but clean and lived up to my expectations. Even though I came early - they let me check in. The staff really made it a nice place to stay. It had a kind of family vibe , which I liked! Can definitely recommend this place if you need a cheap and safe place to stay.

United StatesWish breakfast were included but it was still a decent value & tasty meal.
The owner & staff were WONDERFUL. Sweet, kind, patient & very helpful in helping us coordinate details of local activities. Our kids (15 & 10) had fun with the pool and our family room was very comfortable & spacious. Beautiful ocean/sunset views from patio. The hustle & noise of the beach was at a good distance so we slept well but walked in.out of town for dinners easily. Hostel puppy “Coco” was a bonus too:)
