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...).

AustraliaNot the hosts fault but no electricity one full day, so no wifi and there’s no 4g there (with our sims anyway) Pool wasn’t operational one full day either 10k pesos charge per bag to leave there while in tayrona. Curtains in private room were see-through
Quiet calm and pretty property. Nice hosts, lovely kids. Walking distance from calabazo entrance for tayrona. Kitchen was shared with hosts but well equipped and comfortable.

ColombiaSome of the slats on the bed fell during the night and the side light didn't have a bulb in. Didn't affect our stay though.
The owner was very friendly and cooked a lovely dinner for us. Was a peaceful stay after a night in tayrona park. Easy to get to on local buses. Also loved the tortoises

United KingdomFinca Gordita is a delightful home run by the incredibly friendly and helpful, Juan, who made our visit memorable. We originally booked for a couple of days and then extended to a week. Great value. Our room was simple and comfortable. Juan, let us use his refrigerator and washing machine (for a small fee) and offered us lifts into Calabazo or even Santa Marta when he was going that way. With a large pool, it was a place to easily relax. It’s located about 2 km along the main highway from Calabazo and the western entrance into Tayrona National Park and it set back from the road, from which there's a little traffic noise but it's not intrusive. Staying here was a real pleasure.

AustraliaHoping to find a relaxing farm stay… We arrived to a party around the pool, adults drinking, children playing and swimming and running around, seemingly a birthday for family or friends, unfortunately Orna was not there. The music was loud. There was an elderly lady who was seemingly overwhelmed with all the children running around and also seemed surprised at our arrival. After much struggle translating finally showed my partner to a room the first one having people already in it, moved on to another room.. The bed was hard, the aircon was barely sealed to the window. The only tv was in the lounge room with more children watching it. At this point we didn’t feel welcome or like being outside our room. Around 8:30pm someone knocked on the door, Yarley, who was taking the duties of host for the night offered us some dinner we accepted 1 meal realising we had no other option but to walk 30 minutes to shops which may not be open. Did not feel welcome or accommodated at all. Also charged us more for 1 meal than we had expected per previous reviews, which we saw children tending to cooking at one point. The meal was ok but not worth the extra money for chewy meat and rice. The music is still very loud at this point. We returned to our room to attempt relaxing and waiting for the music to stop and people to leave, which didn’t happen until after midnight. The shower had hair in it, the room wasn’t well cleaned or aired out quite stuffy, awoke with terrible sinuses from the sleep and couldn’t wait to leave. The next day there were beer cans littered everywhere outside from the party. Maybe we stayed on the wrong night, didn’t get to try the apparent amazing fresh juice and didn’t get to meet the owners.
It was cheap and made for a good story, the turtles (or tortoises) were cool

United KingdomWould be a good idea to offer some drinks available to purchase and maybe some information about the area, including tyrona Park
Everything! The owner is so nice and made us feel right at home. We were a little stressed with getting cash and finding somewhere to eat and she offered to make us food. It was really delicious and the best plantains I've had in a month in Colombia! Ended up staying another night. Also, so many nice animals to make it even better :)

PortugalOrna and her husband are incredible people! We are super grateful for our stay. From the mango juice in the morning, all the animals around, a really confortable kitchen to cook, and all the best recomendations to visit the park. For the price we payed, we couldnt have asked for better.

Orna (Owner) was so accommodating. She cooked us a lovely breakfast (even though we left very early) and a huge dinner - so delicious and exactly what we needed before/after hiking Tayrona! We were able to leave our bags with her whilst in Tayrona. We also loved all the animals !! 15mins walk to the Calabazo exit 👍

United KingdomNothing to say here.
Wonderful, helpful host. Cooked a great breakfast and dinner for us on request and very good value. Local organic fruit and veg. Very simple place. But the perfect stop before going to the quieter calabazos entrance to Tayrona park( much better than the crowded route). Also washed and dried 3 loads of washing for our group. Air con was effective and rooms simple and clean. We didn't get a chance to use pool or football pitch.

United KingdomMy boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights around our time in Taryona park, and we absolutely loved it. The owner Orna is so lovely, kind and informative, we felt like she was our Colombian mum! She let us keep our bags while we went in the park, and cooked us a lovely dinner when we returned with sore legs! The room was spacious, with Aircon and a fan (needed!). The hotel is in gorgeous surroundings too, you can see monkeys and birds from the house, and the pool was an absolute delight after all that hiking! It is about a 20 minute walk to Calabozo entrance or Orna can arrange a mototaxi for you (which takes you further in the park)
