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.).

SwitzerlandI’m on the taller side (~1.88m) and the beds were slightly short for me, since the foot area has an edge. Otherwise, great!
Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, from late night bottles of water to keeping the restaurant open late upon arrival! They also had great advice for the surrounding area. There is a diving school attached to the hotel, which would make for an awesome combo-trip! I also stayed in the northern « city » part of the island, and much preferred my time here, with beautiful waters to swim in right across the street and lots of rugged nature all around. The rooms are spacious with very high ceilings, hot water shows and very clean, with great AC. Would stay here again on my next trip to San Andres!

United StatesI thought during booking it was across from the beach, but it was across from the sea. It was about 30 minutes to the downtown area for the main beach.
The staff was very welcoming and we enjoyed the food and service provided. If you like seclusion and getting away then this is the place for you!

BelgiumBe aware taxis from the airport charge 60000 pesos, while you can take the safe and good local bus for only 4000 pesos per person.
Situated at a quiet spot along the west side of Isla San Andres, with a swim ladder and a great snorkeling spot right next door across the street. Good restaurant and friendly staff included. Wonderful views. Spacious room with good hot shower.

United KingdomSome parts look in need of a bit of TLC but after the ravages of Covid I thnk that can be forgiven.
Very friendly family run hotel. Staff very accommodating. Its in a much more peaceful part of the island away from the crowds on the eastern side, but the local bus runs right past the door every 30 mins so getting around is easy. Snorkelling right across the road in some of the clearest water I've seen. We were never really inconvenienced by the pool being used by the the dive school as they are out most of the day. Prices for food/drink very reasonable.

United KingdomWifi in room was mediocre which was not what we had experienced elsewhere on the island. Rooms are starting to look a little tired and the bathroom is probably ready for a proper refit as shower screen was sticking and looks dated. Our room smelt incredibly musty on arrival which was unpleasant only for the first 12 hours, however, once we aired the room out with the door and bathroom window open, this went and didn't return in the following three days indicating this experience could have been avoided had our room been aired before our arrival. Breakfast is served from 8am as staff arrive at this time. We needed to leave at 8am for a flight but there was no earlier breakfast option other than to take a sandwich to our room the night before which didn't really appeal. I guess demand (or lack of) probably dictates a better solution to this. Hot water only if you are lucky or shower in the afternoon before the divers return from their dives
Lovely little family run diving resort, staff were super friendly and helpful, the room was basic but clean, location is quiet end of the island which is lovely but some way from the town for evening meals, that said, the restaurant beers, wine and food prices were super competitive so we didn't feel we were a captive audience or being ripped off. The ladder into the sea allowed us to experience snorkelling on this side of the island without having to go to the touristy 'La Piscina' type places. The hotel arranged a moped for a few days which was a reasonable price and well organised. The best bit about this place is the immaculately clean swimming pool and sunbeds, just what you need after a month backpacking across Colombia.

ColombiaInside the hotel there is a scuba diving center and it represents some noise and people around all the time which interrupts the general calm of the place.
We got the perfect location for the room. We made a request (a bedroom with see view) and it was completely satisfactory. Staff is so nice and always willing to provide good service. Stunning views at the sunset reinforce the name of the hotel.

ColombiaThe location can be a two-edged sword, it is good because it is very quiet and remote, but it is also far from everything, stores and the center, the pool was often in the morning occupied by the scuba divers and there were no showers in the pool area, other than that it was an excellent place.
Sunset Hotel is a great place if you're looking for a relaxing stay away from the crowds. The location is in the south, so you need a taxi to get there, you can also take a bus, but this last one needs a bit of patience. The room and the food was great and the staff very friendly always and helpful.

ColombiaI really enjoyed the stay and would go back when possible! So not so much a dislike, but if I had to recommend anything it would be better send proofing in the rooms. You can hear the sound of the TV and conversation from the other room.
Loved the location in the quieter south side of the island and with a snorkelling spot right in front of the hotel. Perfect in that regard! Customer service was excellent. Gaby at reception desk was knowledgeable and offered advice on the best local spots. A great place to stay for those looking to relax away from the busy centro area.

United StatesThey have a solar heating system for the water, you have to time your showers and there really isn't hot water, sometimes it's warmer than others. To be fair cool to cold water showers are not uncommon in Colombia. The beds are a little small but not too small. These are minor issues though and as I stated in the positive comments I will be returning.
My girlfriend likes swimming in calm deep ocean water. The west side of San Andres has some of the best water I've ever seen for what she likes to do. The Sunset Hotel is perfectly situated for this. The staff is great, they really work hard to make your stay great. The breakfast isn't fancy but it's good. The place is very well maintained and the room while basic is comfortable. For the money and proximity to the ocean I think it would be very difficult to find a better place. We will most certainly be staying here again. The internet here was better than most places in the south side of the island.
