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.).

GermanyThe bungalow is built in a very open manner - which obviously also makes noise come in easily…. the bar next doors seemed to play music mostly until 2am - it’s probably everywhere in the surroundings though that you hear it.
I had one of the beach bungalows, and really loved it. It’s got a little beautiful garden to itself which is good since beach access seems a bit difficult in Palomino these days… The bathroom has an open roof, that’s definitely a highlight! The main house also has a very nice hangout area and is only a couple of minutes away.

United StatesThey only had 2 beach towels for 4 of us to lay out, but they had plenty of towels at the property. Internet should be improved. You will be woken up when breakfast starts if you stay in the dorm because of the location.
Breakfast was really nice. Nice facilities. Quiet place. mostly a hotel with 1 dorm of 4. Ended up having an amazing time here. Would highly recommend to chill. Big beds in dorms.

IrelandWe found it a little bit hot in the evenings in the room without Aircon and it would have been nice to have a mini fridge but these are small things that didn't effect us really :-)
Location was perfect for getting onto the beach and accessing the beach bars and main Street of restaurants and bars. We had the junior suite which was really bright and spacious. The staff were great to help us out with all our requests from orgnaising tubing to printing out tickets for us and they were very patient given our poor Spanish! The breakfast that was served every morning was plentiful with refills of coffee/juice/cereal and bread available. The facilities were ideal and garden/ surrounding area very beautiful. We didn't miss the lack of a pool either due to the proximity of the hotel to the beach. Would highly recommend and would love a relaxing stay here again in the future.

United StatesBungalows are a little rustic, so there are some bugs that get in the rooms (they also have mosquito nets though, so was able to keep them away from the bed). I also got several mosquito bites around the property, so make sure to apply but spray!
Welcoming & generous staff, who helped me with anything I needed during my stay, including being flexible on my dates - especially Ana at the front desk, who has the look and calming energy of Alicia Keys. Breakfast is delicious and property is gorgeous - super tranquil and relaxing! Nice that they have a beach bar just around the corner as well.

ColombiaThere's no dinner service and the lunch is outsourced so it needs to be reserved with good anticipation, there's no reception after 10 PM, which makes very difficult to solve any need at night.
The breakfast was perfect, the facilities are amazing, the place is perfect for work and rest. It is really close to the beach, the style of the place is harmonious and restful, we enjoyed it a lot! There are a lot of great places near to eat, party or relax so it is in a perfect location just a couple of feet away from the beach.

I loved this place so much that I came back twice. They only have 4 dorm beds but for about 14 euro a night, the value is so good because it feels like a resort. The breakfast is the best I've ever had included in the room rate of a dorm. The atmosphere is so relaxed and peaceful. The gym is ideal, has all the equipment you need for a decent work out, beach is a 1 minute walk and staff are very sweet but a particular mention for Anna who was extremely friendly, professional and created a lovely atmosphere every morning at breakfast. My favourite place ever!

United Kingdomone tiny nitpick is that the mosquito net on our bed didn’t seal us in so they could still get us at night. The rooms doors and windows closed pretty well so it wasn’t a big issue
Lovely peaceful location near the beach. Spotlessly clean and great decor. The staff were great and the breakfast included in our room was hands down the best inclusive breakfast we’ve had in 6 months in central and South America. 100% recommended.

Netherlandsthere is one dormitory with four beds so mainly couples/ families so probably not the best place for a solo traveller if you want to meet people (however I was travelling solo and had great dormmates :D)
this really is a unique place; the guesthouse is located on the edge of Palomino and just down the street is the beach. The entire property is in excellent condition and everything seems to have been thought about and taken well care off. The gardens are exceptional and give this place a unique nature/chill vibe. the beds are great and the breakfast is amazing.

CanadaThis isn’t a fault of the property, but the beach access path leads to the stretch of beach in Palomino that is super eroded - there are a few 100metres of beach that are tricky to walk around, so this is not a great choice if you have mobility issues.
Breakfast was great, the suite Rosa that I stayed in was beautiful and perfect for my sola stay for a few nights. Helpful and friendly staff, and very close to the beach!
