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...).

United KingdomAmazing place! Nice swimming pool and hammocks. A bit loud at the night time, but I realise it’s normal in the Colombian sea side. 2 minutes walk in to the beach and loads of restaurants close by.

SpainThe staff really couldn’t be bothered being nice to the guests. Especially some at the bar (2 guys were ok and friendly). I felt uncomfortable ordering there, so ended up buying my drinks around the corner on the street.
The location is great, pool is very chill, internet functions well, beds slept nicely.

Location - 1 minute walk from the beach. Staff were very accommodating when we needed to change the dates due to one of our party getting sick elsewhere. Great terrace area outside each dorm for socialising Air con was amazing

United StatesWe stayed in a deluxe room with AC. The mattress on the sofa bed was old and way too soft. The room was very spacious so we did not understand why the sofa bed instead of a second bed. The insulation of the room was not good which let the cool AC out. There's no hot water in the room. Finally there are some big parties every night nearby and you can hear them pretty well from the room.
We really liked the hotel in general. The whole outdoor area is very beautifully designed and feels fantastic. It's super close to the beach. The bar and restaurant offer some very good options at a good price. The pool is super nice too.

United StatesLaundry was expensive. Suggest walking down the road to get it done for less. The cleaning person left the door to the bathroom open and mosquitos got into the room. As other reviews mentioned, keep the bathroom door closed since it is open air and bugs can get in when it is open.
What a great place to stay! We got one of the rooms with AC and it was in a quieter part of the property. Comfy bed, friendly staff, good wifi. The property is lovely and a great place to chill close to the beach and walking distance from loads of bars and restaurants. Food onsite was good. Tubing trip was very fun.

ColombiaWhen you book a private room with a private bathroom, you expect to find more amenities, the room has plenty of space for them. The lack of them makes the experience less comfortable, but still, it is a great place. More cocktail options would be good.
The massagessssssssss were unbelievable, you must book one. Everything was good, the bar zone is great, the food from the restaurant is yummy and you have many options, and the waiting time in rush hour is not too long. I found the atmosphere around the pool great, and very comfortable.

FranceRooms are not as nice as on photos and food really isn’t great but there are plenty of good places outside so it’s ok since it’s near everything. WiFi did t work at all in the new part and 4g didn’t work either at the back so that’s annoying. I had hot water but the old part doesn’t which I’ve never seen outside of Colombia.
Very well located and staff was amazing. Drinks are good and fairly priced.

United KingdomThe bathroom in our bedroom has an open air section above the shower. Lots of mosquitos and bugs kept coming in and one day we forgot to shut the bathroom door so they got in the room. I would recommend putting up some netting in the bathroom to prevent this from happening.
The room itself was beautiful, as was the communal pool area. Drinks were reasonable as was the food, which was also very tasty.

South AfricaThe cold showers, I would have thought that in the private Suites there would be hot water. Also the fact that I was unable to use the safe in the room as the safe key was lost. Staff were very helpful and I ended up being upgraded to a better suite where the safe worked and the shower had hot water!
It was a nice location - close to the beach. Staff were very helpful. Beds were extremely comfortable. Room sizes were very generous and the shower size was also quite big.
