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.).

LithuaniaNo drinking water provided in a room. During check in we did not get a welcome drink which was offered to us on an occasion of the first stay. No glass for tooth brush in a bathroom
It was my second stay in this hotel. As I mentioned before it is in a very good location, has very comfortable rooms and great staff. Two small pools, very comfortable beds and high quality of sleep. With any doubts I would stay in this hotel again. If you need a driver for Santa Marta and arround you could contact a driver by wats up: +57 312 5442324 I used him several times: from Santa Marta airport to the hotel, from Santa Marta to Minca and after two days back from Minca to Santa Marta, from Santa Marta to Tayrona park and in the evening back to Santa Marta and from Santa Marta to Cartagena. The driver does not speak English and I do not speak spanish, but he is very smart and translates everything with google. The most important what he is extremely responsible , safe and reliable. The best restaurant in Santa Marta for fine dining is Guasimo restaurant.

The staff and customer service was some of the best I’ve ever seen! My fiancé and I celebrated Valentine’s Day and they set up a private dinner on the rooftop with rose pedals and it was lovely. All of the employees went above and beyond to make sure our stay was more than comfortable and accommodated our needs in every way. Location is great. Atmosphere of the hotel is so cute. 10/10 recommend!

CanadaPool is located in centre of hotel, next to check-in & in middle of Dining area. We felt a little weird swimming there. Upper floor had a small plunge pool But pretty hot up there and limited shade. Room was a little dark (main floor facing pool) & toilet area is essentially part of room (just a glass sliding door so not great for shy people! Also spotty wifi.
Beautiful historic & charming hotel. Excellent location and probably most comfortable hotel bed in Colombia! Nice breakfast & very attentive staff.

United StatesI think it would be nice to include complimentary water since it is hot and Santa Marta’s water isn’t potable.
It was a charming hotel…it had an old-fashioned classy colonial feel, and reminded me of “100 Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez! The staff was super helpful. I especially appreciated the blended welcome cocktail upon arrival on a hot day…delicious! Breakfast was also great, and I enjoyed cooling down in the pools (yes, there are multiples)!

United StatesThe room had no windows that you can open to let the daylight come in, but it was next to the pool.. so I ended sitting outside.
A pretty complex of well appointed rooms in a very old building. It’s next to the beach and they provide free parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. We also had dinner there one night, which was quite good. Their banana dishes are worth trying.
