How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe host was super friendly and helpful, i'm sorry I didn't get her name. Being so close to the entrance of tayrona allowed me to beat the morning line for entrance into the park . If visiting the park again, would definitely stay again.

Verified reviewWe loved the independent cabin up on the hill. It's apart from the rest of the compound and very nice. You have a patio to sit out on and nice spacious room. The staff was also very helpful and friendly.

Verified reviewReally close to the national park. Nice facilities and really good staff attentive to our needs. Aircon was heavenly after being in the national park
Perhaps it was the room we had. Just a warning people that if you are a light sleeper, do not select the mountain view room. It is a more rustic style room without sealed windows so the sound from the trucks engine breaking was super loud as well as the roosters calling from 4am. If you’re a heavy sleeper, this won’t bother you.

Verified reviewAwesome option for a stay before or after heading into Tayrona! Location couldn't be better - a few minutes walk to the main entrance to the National Park; really easy to beat the crowds. The staff are great; really friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was great, the room was just what we needed and the air-conditioning was nice. Wifi worked okay, and they were kind enough to store our luggage for four nights at no extra charge. Would highly recommend it - would 100% stay again if we return!
It was great - we had no complaints.

Verified reviewThe hostal is perfectly located for the main entrance to the park and also right next to a spot where you can take the bus to the Calabazo entrance if you want to do a longer walk from one entrance to the other. There is a nice pool which is clean and ideal for cooling off in. Breakfast is also nice. The best thing about this hostal is the staff. They are all very friendly and really helpful. They helped us arrange early airport transfers and also helped us in finding the right bus we needed to a more distant park entrance. It made our time there so much easier
Nothing is bad, but beware not all the rooms have AC and Tayrona truly is very hot. The mosquito nets are also pretty worn out so maybe aren’t as effective as they could be!

Verified reviewGood price! Great breakfast, filled us up before going to Tayrona. Really good location, 5 minute walk to Tayrona national park and there were lots of restaurants around.
Our room didn’t have water a few times in one day but the host was nice about it and tried to sort asap each time the water stopped working Overgrown path to room and in the dark we couldn’t see the path at all The walls of the room had lots of gaps so we had a lot of bugs and lizards coming in (we even had a lizard in our bed with us!!) The window in the bathroom was just a hole in the wall so animals could have easily got in, it was also big enough for a person to climb through. Luckily nothing tried to come in Slightly weird vibe, we think we were the only guests at the time and we felt a bit like an inconvenience

Verified reviewOnly being a few minutes walk to the El Zaino entrance to Tayrona, along with several restaurants, made this a pleasant stay before our visit to the park. Our rooms were clean with a mosquito net, breakfast was large & filling, they had a taxi driver who could pick us up from Minca (we used him as his rates were more competitive than other taxi drivers) and Elsy (the owner) allowed us to store our bags while we stayed overnight in Tayrona even after we'd checked out. As a bonus, they have several cute cats and dogs wandering the property.
Nothing, we had a great stay!
