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...).

CanadaNot enough hammocks. Not enough useful pots and pans in the kitchen, it it worked when no one else was cooking.
Very clean; very quiet. It’s like an oasis in the city. The kitchen is a great size and has its own lounging area. However, it was not busy while I was there, so I had full use of everything with few others around.

ColombiaThe only thing funny was that the air con leaked water condensation onto the floor. I was reeeeally lucky my stuff didnt get soaked overnight- it was close. If they cant fix it no worries but maybe mark it w tape so no bags or things get wet!
Amazing courtyard and outside the room places to hang, eat, work, and plan. The private room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was a great value, the staff was so helpful and friendly.

United StatesIt’s a hostel, so a bit spartan. Our private room was small, cozy, private. No view, just a sleeping room.
Food and drinks were excellent. Fun hostel, not crowded when we stayed here.

United KingdomThey weren’t serving food on the day we came which was inconvenient but clearly a one off. We were only so disappointed as the food was tasty and good value last time we stayed.
We stayed here back in 2019 and found it to be a convenient jumping off point for Palomino, Tayrona park and Minca. It was great to return and meet some fellow travellers once again. The room we stayed in was comfortable and the staff were helpful. We were able to leave our main bags while we went to other places. We would stay again.

ItalyThe kitchen is very slow, so it took over one hour to receive my order. For breakfast they did not have dairy free options.
The room was cleaned, quiet and updated. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is located near the bus station so very convenient. If you have been to the dreamer in bogota,, this one is a different vibes. Good wifi

IsraelHad some problems with the woman at the reception. She didn't allowed us to enter with closed 6 pack beer to the hotel and argued with us altough this place have shared kitchen to prepare food from outside. We also waited for our food at restaurant for like 1 hour because it was busy and they made mistakes.
Pool and hotel amenities are amazing.

AustraliaIt was low season when I went, so the hostel was a little emptier than usual!
The staff were lovely, and the atmosphere at the hostel is a great space to unwind. I quite enjoyed my time here, and met lots of people. This is also a great spot to access Tayrona park, as the bus stop is around 7 minutes away. Also, the beds are super comfy!!
