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.).

The location was excellent, short walk to town and exceptional views. Our room was wonderful. Lots of places to sit with different views plus small pool and sauna. Staff were always accommodating. Food was delicious.

SwitzerlandNot a big deal but the jacuzzi wasn’t working and the wifi was rather temperamental! A cold shower next to the sauna would be a nice addition.
An amazing place to stay in Salento. The tree house style rooms are very spacious and have beautiful views on the valley. The staff were really kind and the breakfast was amazing. Also recommend eating dinner at Kawa as the food was excellent. They have their own footpath which goes to the main town and viewpoint, it’s about a 10 min walk. Loved the sauna!

United KingdomHonestly I can't say any bad things about this place or the service. There is literally no bad remarks, it exceeded our expectations. Only incredible experiences that I'll treasure for ever. We will be back for sure!
Everything about booking, checkin in, the stay, the service and the checkout was exceptional! They helped us organise a taxi from the airport, sorted out all our day trips. We booked two different rooms for different parts of our stay and they moved all our luggage between rooms while we were out on day trips! The breakfast and food in general was incredible! NOT TO MENTION THE STUNNING VIEWS! Best hotel We've ever been in.

United StatesIn some ways this is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed at, with vistas and cabinas that will truly take your breath away. The hotel staff is not only friendly but also committed to accommodating the desires of each traveler. Yuliana, who has connections with countless tours and excursions in the area, set us up for two consecutive days of riding with her own personal horses! She paired us with a local guide named Dilbert who was probably the most skilled horseman and trail riding instructor I’ve ever worked with. The worst part of the trip by far was leaving!

United KingdomThe only minor downside was the lack of air conditioning or a fan in the rooms, which could be a bit uncomfortable during warmer days. Despite this, I would highly recommend the hotel for its outstanding hospitality, scenic views, and convenient location for an enjoyable stay in Salento.
Our stay at Kawa was a delightful experience. The host was truly amazing - very attentive and flexible, ensuring a comfortable stay. The rooms were spacious and offered unrivalled and incredible views of the surrounding mountains. Additionally, the hotel's location was perfect, just a short 10-minute walk to Salento, making it convenient to explore the town. The breakfast choices were also delicious and varied.

SwedenThere was sufficient food on the dinner plats but I would love to have more of it because it was so tasty, especially for the price.
The room was beautiful with A fantastic view. Bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom very clean and nice, going out to the bath outside which was very cosy at night(our particular room had a bath outside) The food at the hotel was at the pricier side particularly for colombian standards, Albeit very delicious and i would recommend. Breakfast was incredible as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I suggest getting a massage while there.

BulgariaThis hotel was the best one we stayed at during our trip to Colombia!!! Everything was simply amazing! I can only confirm what the other positive reviews are saying. The staff is great, everything was very well organized. The breakfast is excellent and you can choose from various options, you can use the jacuzzi for one hour per day, there are great options for some tours in the area and it is very close to Salento town with the private path they have and yet quiet and peaceful. And the view is just breathtaking! The food in the restaurant is outstanding! I can only thank you for the great time we had and I would definitely come back if I come to Colombia!

Kawa is located in an absolutely stunning location with incredible and breathtaking views overlooking the mountains (pictures on their website don’t do justice). The hotel is located 5-10 min walk from the town of Salento. The rooms are very clean, comfortable are well equipped with all required amenities. The staff especially Eduardo, Jorge and Carlos went over and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. They organised all my tours, taxis. The food was excellent especially the trout! My only regret is that I didn’t stay for longer.

United KingdomCould cost less.
Reaching the hotel requires some walking (much less using the shortcut that we were told when checking-in), but it's a plus. Very friendly and professional check-in. Beautiful facilities. Views meet and exceed expectations. The lodge was excellent: contrary to what other comments say, it was not cold at all, and there were no mosquitos in the room. Bathroom and jacuzzi were excellent. We would definitely come back.
