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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United StatesThere was a water pipe breakage ( a city issue) but the hotel also had a water pump problem, so we had times of water loss for the first 2days. We chose not to leave because we liked our room and it all got resolved before it became too inconvenient for us. Without this issue we would have rated our stay a 10.
We loved charm and location of the Ananda. Our room was in the back, closer to the pool and it was very quiet . The A/C in the room was wonderful and necessary . Staff was very kind and helpful .

ColombiaThe price is too high when related to the cleanning of the common areas. The rooftop was missing the sun umbrellas and the service would take a lot of time. There is a few options for eating there, and the breakfast is very simple.
the location is perfect, its a huge colonial house with all of the city vibe and nice rooftop to relax. The staff was super attentive and professional.

United StatesStaff are hit or miss here. I had a great checkin person but the checkout person was not very pleasant and argumentative. There was never any type of smile on his face and he seemed overall irritated and like it was beneath him to be assisting us. The staffs’s English is also hit or miss, as it is anywhere you go in Cartagena. The breakfast was also an issue for my guests because the staff there didn’t speak English and therefore there was no one to really explain the breakfast process and since my guests thought that breakfast was included for them, they thought they could eat sides, like bacon and such but those items were not included and the menu was confusing to them. They thought that the extra feea did not apply since the reservation said breakfast was included and the staff at checkout were not very kind about this misunderstanding. They felt that we were just trying to get out of paying and did not want to understand how there could be misunderstandings when the staff does not explain anything to the guests and they just bring bottled water without saying there is a cost, the staff just brought over bottled waters without telling them that it costs extra and it was not on the menu that there was an additional cost.
It’s on a little unassuming side street which means you won’t have to worry about the noise and business from the center. Although that can seem sketchy, it really is the best way to be in old town without being in the center of the noise. This hotel has an addictive wonderful smell throughout the entire hotel and in the rooms. As soon as you walk up to the doors you smell the amazing aroma of essential oils. And the property, though small, is beautiful. My guests loved the aesthetics, pool, and rooms! Although I would suggest that if you want a more luxurious look to your room, I would pick at least the category above the lowest one. All the rooms were fine through, just my personal observation and preference. I also had a great experience at check-in where the staff person was very nice and patient.

United StatesWe had the worst toilet I've ever had in a hotel. Would not flush properly. We asked to have it fixed and nothing was really done other than to tell us to just hold it down longer. Super frustrating. My travel companion requested that the sheets get changed on her bed because they were sort of worn and pilled, very scratchy. While they said they would, they did not. And the bathroom set up is bizarre. We could hear others showering in the tiered, open wall set up. Very unnerving at times! That would have been nice to know ahead of time.
The location is fantastic! And the property is lovely. A very friendly and helpful staff. Jairo is phenomenal! He made our holiday even better. The pool and roofdeck were ideal for what we were looking for. The breakfast and coffee were a perfect addition.

NetherlandsThe communal areas are well attended to and look the part. The room itself (on the ground floor) could use a bit of work in upkeep. For instance: Paint is coming off the walls here and there and the bathroom deserves some attention too with towel hooks loose. Overall we had a lovely stay. It is perhaps not on the same level as other hotels in this price range in the area. Thus it feels a bit overpriced, but nonetheless pleasant.
Beautiful building for a hotel and nice use of the colonial architecture. Staff were very friendly and attentive. One of us got sick and the staff were very kind and checked in regular and everything. The room was very spacious and the bed comfortable.

United StatesFirst day we had a bad room. Dark, couldn't open the window, street level, facing the sidewalk/street. They put us in a bad room to start with. we argued a lot, the changed us for the 2nd and 3rd day. We don't think that the rooms in the 1st floor level are acceptable for the price. Hotels rooms, at Ananda's prices, should have a the very least a window that can be opened, preserving privacy.
Breakfast was very good. Locacion was great.

United StatesBathrooms need a refresh--not dirty, just needs to re-grout.
Location was key, and the hotel is very pretty. Two pools are beautiful and we never had trouble finding a lounge chair (we visited in August). Our room was huge although I must admit the space downstairs felt a bit waisted. The bathrooms could use a bit of a refresh (some cracking at the edges), but it was great to have two bathrooms! Bed linens and bed was great. My only qualm was the AC unit had a bright blue light that shown very strong in the dark, so if you have trouble sleeping, bring an eye mask!
