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...).

NetherlandsOur first night was on a Saturday and there was very loud music until late in the night, which wasn’t great. However, the other nights were all quiet! We only had cold water in the shower, which I believe is pretty standard in Santa Marta.
The hotel is centrally located in Santa Marta, making it a great base for exploring the region and the city itself. There’s lots of lovely restaurants and cafes on the doorstep, and it’s also just a quick walk to the nearest supermarket and to the beach. The staff were super friendly and made an effort to speak English with us. Breakfast is simple, but substantial and good. Same goes for the room: pretty basic, but clean and comfortable.

United KingdomWarm showers would be a great addition. Also, our final night, our sleep was very disturbed by loud music coming from the rooftop, which was a bad ending to a good stay
Perfect location near the coast and literally steps away from the best street for restaurants and nightlife. Despite this, a mostly quiet and peaceful nights sleep. Breakfast was good and the rooftop pool was a nice addition

ItalyBring mosquito spray if mosquitoes love you. They get to you quite quickly on the ground floor.
Cool colonial house vibe, near the beach, delicious food. Loved the common rooftop area with the pool/jacuzzi and the hammocks. The staff were incredibly helpful and went way beyond the expected, including when I had to deal with a medical emergency and completely change around my lodging plan.

United KingdomThe AC is rubbish, window view was of a wall 30cm away, no privacy in the bathroom and you can hear pounding music from La Brisa bar until 4am (this could be a good thing if you want to party, not if you want to sleep). Also, the 'double bed' was 2 singles pushed together.
Good location, nice breakfast, great pool area and terrace with hammocks on the roof.

ColombiaWe had to upgrade our room because it was not comfortable. The one on the top floor was much better for a family. However, it wasn't clean. There was a layer of dust and rubbish under the beds. And the treadmill was a sore. As lovely as the hotel was, the area around was unpleasant: dirty, shit and piss around, dogs walking around, ugly homeless people passing by.
The hotel is set in a lovely old colonial house. The rooms are quite big. The beds are comfortable, the linen and towels are white and clean. Breakfast was simple, but tasty (eggs, toasts, tea/coffee/chocolate, fruit and juice). It was also possible to have lunch at the hotel, which we did twice. Really nice homemade food for a good price. The rooftop had a lovely terrace with rocking chairs, hammocks and a small pool.

United KingdomThe first time we stayed there it was a weekend and it was so noisy outside with music blaring until really late, obviously this isn’t the hostels fault but the walls are pretty thin and you’ll need ear plugs! The showers are cold The reception was supposed to be open 24 hours but when we checked out at 6am there was no one at reception & the front doors were locked. we were worried we would miss our flight. We kept phoning the number at reception but it didn’t work and eventually we managed to put our arm through the front gate to get to the doorbell outside and that worked to wake someone up
Great location Lovely friendly staff Delicious breakfast They kept our bags for us for no charge while we travelled along the coast, which was very nice!
