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...).

CanadaFiltered water would have been nice. I got used to colder showers after dipping in the pool every morning to freshen up.
This was my 3rd extension at this hostel before moving to another for a change. The second hostel was very nice, but Tinto was by far, my favourite because of its large open areas, gardens, pool and terraces overlooking the city. The private room, with a double bed and bathroom, was large, comfortable and great value for the price. Javier is the nicest owner.

CanadaCold showers.
This is exactly my kind of hostel. Quiet and a little rustic feeling with outdoor kitchens and lots of gorgeous wood and outdoor spaces. Stone terraces, gardens, and a pool. I stayed in both a private room and the dorm room when I extended. I'm not a fan of cold showers but they seem to be the norm in budget hostels in Colombia. This was an oasis in the middle of Barichara.

Our favorite hotel from our colombian trip: beautiful spacious room with a private balcony, comfy bed, hammacs to chill outside, beautiful greenery. It's close to the center and is yet really quiet and feels like a secluded piece of paradise

United KingdomThis is a beautiful hostel located centrally in Barichara. The photos on the listing do not do justice to how beautiful this place is. It has amazing views, comfortable rooms, a great outdoor kitchen and super lovely, chilled out staff. I was there during the annual festival of the town which involved really loud music all weekend and genuinely couldn't hear anything as I slept in the dorm, which is some sort of miracle. Lovely cats, nice cold pool. Perfect!!

IrelandOne small recommendation would be to have a mosquito net in the room.
Originally booked one night here but extended for another because we enjoyed it so much, the room was gorgeous, there are cats and a parrot to keep you entertained, the staff were excellent and very knowledgeable on the area, overall 10/10, would recommend and would stay here again.

United KingdomKitchen wasn't the cleanest but that's more on other guests. Cold water showers .
Beautiful setting with lots of nice places to sit and relax. The owner was helpful and there is a kitchen we used every night to cook. Rooms are as advertised, fairly basic but clean and comfortable. Location was good, only a short walk from the main square.

ColombiaPerfectly located in a quiet street near the central plaza of the town. Beautiful property that has preserved architecture from colonial period and a touch of modernity (like the pool and well equipped communal kitchen). The walls of this hostel, like traditional houses of Barichara, are made with rocks and mud which keep the rooms cool during hot and dry days. Best price for a dorm bed compared to other hostel of this town!

Really spacious room and we even had our own outdoor kitchnette right outside our room which was really useful. Our en suite bathroom was also really cool: half indoor/half outdoor with a huge tree in the middle of it! It was nice to be able to use the swimming pool at the hostel to cool off after going on local walks and exploring the lovely town of Barichara.

ItalyLacks of cleanliness, the place has so much potential but, besides from the dorm which was very clean, the common areas are not very well maintained. Kitchen is very basic, I wanted to use it but I changed my mind…
Location was perfect, far enough from the noises of the town center but still a walking distance from everything. The place itself is very chill !
