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.).

This place is perfect. The huts are beautiful and you’re on your own private beach. This whole stretch of beach is cut off from Palomino by river mouth and is empty and also much more beautiful. Just take a tuk tuk into town for 15k, it’s so worth it.

PortugalI loved everything!
Everything was wonderful! The place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and quite.. perfect to relax and recharge your energies on a beautiful and basically private beach! Still you have good transportation if you wish to go to Palomino (5m) and have a bit more of movement and party. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable (I loved the open air WC) right in front of the beach. Food was delicious and all staff super friendly and paying attention to any needs. It was my favourite place in Colombia and I will definitely come back!! Thank you Casalina for the good energies 🍀

SwitzerlandStrange smell in the room. WiFi sometimes not working.
We liked almost everything. Nice 6 cabañas at the beach within palm trees. Long beach to walk and watch the sunrises and sunsets. Restaurant opened from 7 am till 9 pm with the last order at 8 pm. The food is really tasty. They have the best colombian cook and other helping ladies. Outside bathroom was a nice experience. Communication with the reception lady via WhatsApp and ordering food via WhatsApp so all is on time. We would stay again without any hesitation.

South AfricaIt would be nice to have a kiddies menu available. A small pool for kids will also be great due to the fact that the ocean is so wild. We missed the hammocks and the security boxes in the rooms that were there before.
Amazing location. Beautiful and comfortable bungalow. Deli food. We have been here many times over the past few years and we always love it. Francis was lovely and helpful and took great care of us.

GermanyOne small, tiny gripe - there's no night porter so the gate is closed and locked at 10pm. If you drive into town and come back after 10pm you'll have to leave the car outside and clamber over the fence to get in.
Just a stunning place, beautiful cabins only metres from the sea. Lots of tree cover. A hammock and two long sofa-type cushions in each outdoor area. Private, open-air shower and toilet area. And a weird and lovely soft foggy light too thanks to the humidity.

NetherlandsYou can hear the sea at night (nice!) but also lot of trucks coming by as the lies by the road. I would consider installing windows in the cabana as the noise of the traffic was loud. But it would still still stay there!

NetherlandsStaff was very friendly, it was a bit of a shame that nobody spoke a word of English, or tried to talk a little bit slower Spanish. Breakfast was super, rooms were very good, nice beds at the beach. Distance to the town was a bit long, only transport was a tuc tuc, which was over the busy road a bit scary. Diner was okay, perhaps some more little bites for during the day would be nice.

United StatesAs some people have mentioned, the property is right off the highway, so you can sometimes hear trucks rumbling by, especially if you’re in the restaurant, and especially at night. However, as someone who is from a city, this seemed minor and inconsequential, and anyways from our bungalow I only heard the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. I would also recommend bringing (and using) bug spray. There are mosquito nets over the beds, and we didn’t see any mosquitos in the bungalow, but at dusk on the beach we did end up getting a number of bites that didn’t really start to itch until later. Not sure if they were from mosquitos or something else, but either way they were annoying.
This place was everything I hoped for and more. Excellent location on a beautiful beach that was not crowded at all - we practically had it to ourselves. Loved stepping out of the room and having the ocean just a few steps away. The bungalow was super cute and spacious, with both indoor sleeping area and covered outdoor lounging area and hammock. Absolutely loved the open-air bathroom and shower. All the staff were so kind and beyond accommodating, even setting up tables and chairs for us to have breakfast on the beach. Breakfast was delicious (the cayeye was amazing!), and we also enjoyed lunch and dinner, and cocktails, from the hotel restaurant at reasonable prices. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

ColombiaThe breakfast is fair. It's generous, but the taste is not remarkable. They only serve drip coffee and some local delicacies, such as the arepas de huevo are not made on the spot. The location is good, but it's around 3 or 4 km from Palomino, so if you're expecting to walk to the village, take that into consideration and ask for alternatives. Luckily, I had rented a car, which rendered this a non-issue.
The staff is absolutely wonderful. People are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. The place is quiet, and the cabins are spacious and nicely designed. If you're looking for a quiet place to lie on a hammock and read all day while enjoying the waves in the background, you should come here.
