Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaMom and daughter ran hotel. So warm and friendly, they made us feel so good and cared for. They were awesome at keeping in touch with us about an issue with the power going down during our stay (it didn’t end up going down!) but it was appreciated to be kept in the loop! Our breakfast was FAB - beat breakfast of our whole trip. I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. We will be back and we will be telling our friends about this wonderful little gem!

Lovely colonial style development. Very comfortable and stylish rooms, good restaurant, multiple pools, and rooftop bar all make it very easy place to relax and hide from the heat and bustle of Santa Marta. Very helpful staff on call 24x7.

NetherlandsIt’s located next to a garbage collection point, which isn’t very pleasant.
The staff at the reception, especially Jose-David spoke excellent English and was exceptionally attentive. The cleaning staff were always cheerful and the kitchen staff made delicious food with a lot of attention to details. It’s centrally located, many restaurants and historical sites in 5 min walking distance, with 3 small pools, very refreshing.

United StatesThe hotel is located at the historic district which is perfect to walk during the day, moreover at night time I think is a little unsafe to walk around .

CanadaThis is very close to the city centre however we were told some streets around the hotel were not safe to walk at night. We never felt unsafe in anyway, but that threw us off a little bit.
This place is very beautiful, we were served a delicious breakfast every morning. Service was just great, we did really take advantage of all their pools. Overall a great experience.

Very sweet team of people at the reception! Good hotel layout, just loved the tropical look of the courtyard with the pools, the multi-level layout and the tranquility of the place. The home branded bath products (shampoo, shower gel, lotion) were great, felt all all organic. Location was ideal.

SpainLocation-even though it was in the historical center, you cannot walk alone on the street even during day. There are shady people around the hotel. As long as you are taking a taxi, you will be fine-most of the people use taxis even for 200ms
Very nice hotel, comfortable rooms and delicious breakfast. The staff was also eager to help you with anything. The pools are really nice to spend a day sunbathing, as the public beach in santa marta is not to bathe.
