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...).

ColombiaIf there had been many more people, the shower and bathrooms would have been insufficient.
The location is great. Looks like it used to be a family-owned apartment and since there were no other guests, it was like having a whole house to ourselves.

CanadaJose is an awesome stand up guy. Very helpful, as is his brother Jesus. The hostel is close to the beach, but not so close that the music will keep you up. The rooms are air conditioned, there is a light and plug in each bunk with a blind for privacy. I've been here many times, and will continue coming back. ✌🏼

Very chill hostel. Small but clean and modern. Good kitchen facilities. Free purified water. Large dorm room. Comfortable beds and good air con. Close to the seafront . Owners were friendly but sort of only hung around if they needed so was nicer not to feel constantly under supervision which often happens. They kindly allowed me to store my backpack whilst I went to Cabo de la vela

United KingdomIt was a really good place to stay for Riohacha! A couple little improvements to make it even more amazing would be to have a small bedside table / reading lamp, and a shower mat, so we wouldn't have to get the floor wet after a shower.
Our hosts Jose & his brother Jesus were great. They were very helpful throughout our stay, responsive by WhatsApp for information and help on booking tours & transits to /from airport or bus terminals. Jose's English is really good, so this was helpful when we struggled in Spanish. We stayed 6 nights which was a sufficient amount of time in Riohacha, to see Cabo de la Vela and get a feel for the town. The location was really good, steps away from the beach and near everything needed - grocery store, pharmacy, ATMs, restaurants. We booked the private room with en-suite bathroom, which is a 1 bed apartment with small lounge with sofa and table, which can be used as a desk. The rooms are not overlooked so its private and quiet most of the week bar Saturday, when there is some street noise until late. There is no balcony, but there is a small corner view of the sea from the bedroom window. The bed was large and very comfortable., and the space very generous size, also very comfortable - with a nice large wardrobe to hang and organise our things so we could feel more at home. We appreciated having a small kitchenette with sink and gas hob to make our own coffee in the mornings. A shared fridge is also available in the reception area to use., as is a convenient drinking water refill dispenser. There is also a small hand-wash laundry room with drying line. The AC and Wifi both worked really well, and it was good to have a fan in the living area to help distribute the bedroom AC. Our room was cleaned once during our stay, with fresh towels and the hand/body soap topped up. We appreciated that there was sufficient amount of soap available to use. The property doesn't have hot water showers, but we got used to it, as it was hot in Riohacha in October. We did see one cockroach on our 1st night (which can be common in tropical climates)but Jose dealt with it straightaway and it didn't happen again the rest of our time there.
