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.).

GermanyEverything is more than perfect. It's nice, clean, cosy, well equipped, good location and all this at a very fair price. You can book a tasty breakfast with eggs, fruits , coffee, juice etc. for a price, which at other places you pay for a cup of coffee..... But the best and the most important are the people there. I had a medical problem and they were really helpful at all times. They provided me with blankets and cushion and were really touched.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were patient with our awful Spanish and were happy to give us detailed recommendations on where to go, how to get there, etc. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. It is conveniently located in walking distance of the coast, coffee shops and restaurants.

SerbiaFrendly and helpful people who work in the reception. Great location- close to the beach and to Parque de los novios ( a lot of restaurants, good vibes). We are very satisfied and in situation that we go back again to Santa Marta, we will rebook. They cleaned room every day and brought new towels. Breakfast isn't included, but we reccomend ( eggs and arepa, fruits, cofee/tee, juice).

Ideal comfortable hotel and very good value. Special mention for the staff who were wonderful. Helpful, patient with my lack of Spanish and always had a smile for me :) I used this place as a base to recharge after exploring the region and trekking and they stored my luggage which was great. I also want to disagree with some reviews that say it is in an unsafe area - it is not. The streets there are quiet at night but so is the whole city away from the bar/restaurant area, maybe 5 mins walk away. I had no problems and it never felt unsafe to me. Good wifi, clean rooms, nice breakfast, this place was ideal and I’ll stay there again if I return to Santa Marta.

Very clean and tidy. Decent location near seafront etc. Away from all the noise. Street outside was a bit untidy but 99% of Santa Marta is the same unfortunately. Staff were lovely. Polite friendly and very helpful. Allowed us early check in which was nice. Great Aircon.

A very good exito supermarket in about 7 minute walk, the atrractions like cathedral, marina, museo d'oro in a short walk. Place where you could get a good rest after a day of intensive touring. Breakfast not included, but cheap, worth taking.

United StatesThe pillow are not very soft,. The bathroom is kind of small and maybe they can add a shelve in the bathroom so you can place your things there (toothpaste, body lotion, hair cream, etc)
The staff is very friendly. One night of our stay we decided to book a cabin in Tayrona beach and since the staff did not see us coming that night they got worried and they told us the next day that they were about to call us to check on us and make sure we were good. That was a nice gesture of them.

United StatesThere were a few things I didn't like but the staff was able to correct them, so no complaints with that because they were very open to make everything as right as possible. However there were two things that the bathroom had that just bothered me. One was that there was no shower curtain for the shower which was very weird. So when I showered the water went all over the bathroom floor. The manager told me that the rooms are fairly new and newly renovated but who remodels a bathroom and doesn't think to install a shower curtain? This should have been there once the bathroom was finished. The other thing was the use of a toilet paper wheel dispenser (like you find in malls, schools, or airports) with the super hard, one-ply paper was a big disappointment. Had to go to a store nearby to buy a soft roll because that paper wasn't great. The dispenser was also places on the wall above the toilet instead of the wall in front of the toilet which made using it very awkward. Again like with the shower curtain, who thinks of these things and thinks that was a good idea for a location? Finally, and this had to be mentioned separately, is the location of the hotel. As other reviews mentioned, during the day, the location is great as it is only four blocks from parque de los novios, with all its restaurants and bars and such and six blocks from the beach with all those attractions down there. HOWEVER, like many other reviews stated, at night, the location is HORRIBLE. The block the hotel is on, as well as the area it is in, gets deserted like a ghost town and the streets are quite dark. I didn't feel safe walking back to the hotel (my first night I arrived back close to 11pm and the other days between 6-8pm) even at early evening hours. And this is even returning from parque de los novios only four blocks away. Very sketchy. As a solo traveler, this is a definite consideration and one that would make me very hesitant to stay there again in a future trip.
Staff was super friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and just like what was shown in the pictures. Room had air conditioning which was definitely needed as Santa Marta is very hot during the day. Overall the hotel is clean and quiet during the day which allowed me to be able to relax.

Staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. The rooms were clean, bathroom, and shower very clean. TV with English channels and streaming. Breakfast was prepared for each guest and served. I will say the benches in the breakfast room were uncomfortable. Did not make for relaxing over morning coffee. The coffee was wonderful and served immediately when you sat down. Location was very good, short walk to beach and restaurants, shops.
