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...).

CanadaI have nothing to complain about.
Small hotel with a cottage vibe. The staff was excellent. The location is close to the main street but far enough to avoid the crowds The breakfast is excellent with 3 options which is rarely seen at other hotels in Colombia.

United StatesIt was pretty much perfect. The waves are really audible in the rooms which is a huge plus for most but if u get bothered by noise just be aware/bring ear plugs.
Amazing place! We read some reviews discouraging us from coming to palomino but we are so glad we came. It’s a special unique place and saying at this hotel made it even more special. The food here was great. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Many reviews say you can’t swim here which I guess yes it’s not a place to go for a full swim or snorkel but we definitely got in the waves and cooled off. Overall we would stay again.

United KingdomAccess is very difficult, especially if you drive. That’s not the hotel’s fault but maybe a suggestion would be for them to notify their guests which road NOT to take. Breakfast might appear a little small if you eat as much as I do but since food is reasonably priced, you can take a second portion :)
Staff members are really helpful, friendly and cheerful, they go an extra mile to help! Food is very good. The location and vibe are amazing.

Amazing location directly at the beach, fabulous staff. Margarita and all others were Super helpful. Great Surf instructors William and Pablo from Surf con Jose. Lovely rooms and food. It is worthwhile to take the more expensive room with sea view. We didn’t and I regretted it!

United KingdomEverything was nice except for the sea conditions which were not the hotels fault
Wonderful staff always willing to help and accommodate the guests. When we got there the beach and the sea conditions were not good we could not basically swim or surf as the sea was too turbulent and the owner accepted our request to shorten the trip to one night less . He was really nice . Best break of my whole stay in Colombia!

United KingdomThe location was fabulous - a little piece of paradise on the Caribbean Coast. This hotel is an absolute gem in Palomino! From the moment I arrived, the relaxed and welcoming vibe made it clear I’d chosen the perfect place to stay. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was seamless and enjoyable. The menu is great with a good selection of dishes and fabulous wines too.

United KingdomThe staff at the hotel are incredible. Particular shout out to Anderson who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He provided us with so much information, organised transportation and even taught us some Spanish. The hotel is in a lovely location for surfing and wandering into town for dinner and drinks. On one of our nights, the hotel had live music with a special menu and new cocktail. We wished we could have stayed longer!
