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.).

GermanyThe room including bathroom had no ventilation at all. A severe construction mistake.
The breakfast is delicious and you get it served with a view. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the counter personnel was speaking English. A good choice.

NetherlandsThe Carretero is a semi-standard hotel with all the normal perks, meeting rooms, a gym, a buffet breakfast. We found the staff very pleasant and helpful, the room ok, the buffet breakfast a nice combination of local staples and standard continental/full breakfast. Within walking distance of the old centre of Manizales, on the main road. Parking at the back, useful.

United StatesThe hotel is on Avenida Santander so if can be noiser than other hotels but this is not a deal breaker. The elevator is a bit tight but once again - this is not a deal breaker.
Second time staying at this location. This hotel has a great location. You can walk from the Aereo station to the hotel and you can walk to the Fundadores mall and other points on Avenida Santander as well as Centro. Staff were nice and helped hold our bags after check out which made things easier. The location has a restaurant on site as well as a gym and a bar. Restaurant has a wonderful view. On Sundays, when the street is shut down for excercise, you are about five minutes from the dance classes and all the action.

CanadaThe hotel was far away from the most recommended restaurants to go eat.
The hotel is clean and very comfortable within walking distance of everything you want to see in Manizales. The breakfast was delicious and the gym was surprisingly good. The front desk was able to organize a private transport for us to Salento which made planning everything really seamless.

United StatesThe location can be a little noisy at times due to where it is located and the way the hotel is constructed. Traffic and street noise quiets at night. In my opinion, easily walking to the Fundadores Mall and Tram far outweigh any noise so this is a minor issue.
The breakfast was really good. The staff was also helpful as I didn't speak fluent spanish. They had breads, fruits, egss, meats, etc. Enjoyed the coffee. Wonderful views of the city while you are eating and from the room I had. Excellent location to Tram and Mall. The gym exceeded my expectations. There are also meeting rooms and other facilities on site if you are a business person.
