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.).

GermanyRooms are quite simple and not lovingly furnished. But for the price absolutely fine.
Clean and very nice Pool as well as lovely Garden atmosphere to watch birds. The Hotel was very flexible regarding check in and check out times. We recommend to book a room with AC as it gets quite hot in the area. We apreciated the great tour to the Tatacoa Dessert with our lovely privat guide Esneyder which was arranged by the Hotel. Also, the hotel offers a taxi service from and to Neiva. Maik, the taxi driver is very kind and even helped us with our further trip. We had a good time at Tatacoa Hotel!

Germany- staff was not so friendly. Seemed as if they didn’t enjoy their job - located outside the center, so it is quite a walk which is not so nice (esp at night). But you can of course use Tuktuk - vegetarian pasta not good at all (I even had stomach problems afterwards).
- nice room - really good guide for Tatacoa

NetherlandsAs digital nomads, a table and chairs in the room would be nice to work in AC (and there was plenty of room there for it).
The staff, specifically the young man with glasses, sorry can't remember his name, was extremely attentive and caring of all of our needs. It's a very nice regional hotel, with a clean and inviting pool, and a short walk from town (5 minutes). Its location and gardens attract numerous birds and butterflies, and the vistas highlight contrasting ecosystems of dry desert with verdant, rich drainage areas. The room was spacious, with a mini-balcony allowing a lot of light. Hammocks in the garden, and a common area for drinks or snacks open late were appreciated. Very very safe. Breakfast was very good.

United KingdomThe pool water was quite dirty with lots of bugs and the water was also quite murky in colour, I would suggest to keep the pump running as it only seemed to be on for an hour or so during the morning. There’s lots of dogs in the area and walk between the hotel and town.
The staff were excellent for the duration of our stay, we extended an extra day on the way which they accommodated. Breakfast options were good, The lunch/dinner options were a very good takeaway menu from a nearby restaurant, The staff ordered on our behalf and delivery was quick. The hotel bar had lots of drinks to offer, reasonably priced. The room was a great size, hot water shower and the hotel in general a nice place to chill and relax. We had an excellent tour of the deserts with the hotels guide, he was very knowledgeable and took loads of photos for us. He also gave great advice on other stuff to do whilst staying.

United KingdomHotel is located on the edge of Villavieja, a ten minute walk into town. Very quite and peaceful at night time. The pool is welcome after a desert hike and is tucked around the corner of the hotel building so it is mostly shaded in the afternoon. Free breakfast is great and the staff are very accommodating in arranging trips into the desert and back to Neiva. The small garden is charming, too.
