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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel could offer some more facilities for the guests like gym equipment, yoga space. The luggage room was unlocked when we put our luggage there and when we picked it up which felt a bit weird. The entire hotel is guarded but would feel better for the guests if also the luggage room is locked.
Send Konguiwa is a beautiful property next to the El Zaino entrance of Tayrona. We stayed one night in a huge cabaña with it’s own little terasse which was also very private. The staff is very helpful, the rooms very clean and the restaurant menu diverse and delicious. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel after check out, stay one night in Tayrona and then come and pick them up.

PolandSometimes they were out of avocados ;)
I must admit this was one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Everything was perfect. I really liked the fact that the staff did not have any problems with organizing things. Want a massage for couples? Here you go, choose what time today is suitable for you. A New Year’s Eve dinner for two tomorrow? Here is a table for you. Everything was organized perfectly. The rooms were nice, and the hotel area is just amazing.

The property is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food/drinks are great! The location is perfect for going to Tayrona for the day, but the best part is returning to the pool after a long day of hiking!

AustraliaFiltered water was a bit tricky. We walked into town to buy in bulk, could only buy small bottles at the hotel. No filtered water was provided.
The location was spectacular we really enjoyed the resort and nearby amenity of the river, on-site massage, cocao plantation and we could walk to Tayrona entrance. Staff were very friendly and tried very hard to help us with our woeful spanish. Daily housekeeping was great. Restaurant had good variety, and reasonable prices. Our room was huge! (Delux family room), with private plunge pool and courtyard

United KingdomA slice of heaven! So peaceful with beautiful views. The pool and restaurant were both amazing. There is loads of options for lunch and dinner and the food was so fresh and delicious. There are loads of tours and excursions to do that the hotel can organise (although we wanted to spend as much time by the amazing pool as we could). They also organised us a taxi to Cartegena. It’s within walking distance to the entrance to Tayrona which is very handy! I had an amazing massage.

I was a bit worried to be bored as it’s more of a family vibe but this place is so exceptional that it wasn’t an issue for a couple nights. Probably the best food I had in Colombia, the pools are amazing and the private hiking trail is such a cool and unusual added bonus. But the big big congrats go to the staff. They were all amazing, so kind and friendly. I can’t recommend it enough.

IrelandOnly small downside was a small area of ants in our ground floor room which started crawling into our bags...fixed by spraying the area with DEET. Hard to avoid this in the middle of the rainforest so didn't take away any ratings. Was also asked if we'd like to give a tip at the end of our stay as we were paying
Beautiful resort with amazing pool beside reception. Feels like a paradise amongst the rainforest. Still amazing price compared to anywhere in Europe. Excellent restaurant and bar, both beside swimming pool. Within walking distance to Tayrona Park entrance

ColombiaA group of french tourists came to the hotel drinking and smoking, the noise definetly impacted the usual peacefull setting, however the hotel staff knew how to handle the situation and everything was sorted, I didnt like the app they have to get in touch with the reception, is kind of informative but there is no one actively looking into the chat, so it may be difficult to contact the staff at nigths (you will have to go there and ask for something directly)
Great location, an absolutely amazing environment, with a river coming down rigth from the Sierra Nevada 3 minutes walking from your bed you feel the real connection with nature, the rooms are perfectly set to match the nature environment, and all the site is set so you can have a real conection with nature and find peace, the personnel of the kitchen is amazing, the food is perfect!, kudos to the chef! Thank you Erika for the outstanding service in the restaurant! I loved my view when waking up, is the picture attached to this review, was inspiring, we will come back. (we were assigned a driver to get us to the hotel, his name is James, it was a blessing! we asked him to give us advice about nearby beaches and tips related to the location, he was amazing!! he drove us to all the places that we went including a mall in Santa Marta, Rodadero markets and the Playa Crystal safely and on time, he was informative and attentive, 10 out of 10 for James! if you`re looking for someone to drive you around while taking care of you, ask for James, you won`t be disappointed.
