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 StatesStaff during breakfast is not trained to be helpful... they just are "doing a job", not service oriented. They should be placed in another job in the hotel, no serving breakfast.
Location. Breakfast was not good enough... staff did not allow for refills in juice.

United StatesBreakfast was NOT good: the staff was very stingy about the portions... and they did not allow refills in juice, eggs and bread! Their attitude towards requests was VERY negative! they should be re-assigned to other duties if they are going to keep their jobs. That was a blemish in the Hotel. Also, I keep receiving messages that "your credit card does not have enough funds..." is this an SCAM?

PortugalLocation is... Alright if you mainly go out in daytime but after sunset you might want to keep to return route two blacks down (calle 19), which is a more circulated boulevard. After 8pm, a taxi is best. Additional tip: if you get along with your airport taxi person, keep their number since there's no Uber in Sta. Marta.
The place is clean and well kept. Staff is polite and helpful. Cooked local Breakfast was varied, and ladies in the kitchen were super nice. Massive bed and plenty pillows. Small but clean pool, lovely view from the terrace for sunsets or when you return from the beach and tours. Close to Historical centre and main street, yet quiet after local businesses close down (after dark)

GermanyThe room was good and the beds comfortable. The pool on the roof top was great for the kids and allowed us to enjoy the sun and a nice view over the city up to the Sierra Nevada. Staff was super friendly and very helping. We could leave one of our baggage pieces in the hotel for three weeks for free, which was a huge help.

United StatesWhen I came back Friday to pick up my baggage, they thought I was going to stay the night and said that I had a reservation. This may have been because of my lack of Spanish, but all was taken care of.
Had to change dates from Monday and Thursday, to Monday and Tuesday. Was able to do that and hold baggage from Tuesday to Friday

DenmarkThe pool is very small, not really usable if there are already other people in it. Quite a disappointment. Hotel room we had was very quiet - but if you come in the times of "brisa loca" (strong winds) you will hear A LOT of wind. In our case strong wind was just during one night - so no issues in the longer run. Breakfast looks like buffet BUT you are not allowed to take things yourself! - you need to ask staff to put things on the plate for you - super strange solution I have never seen before. Hotel is a bit further out from the center - if you like the nightlife of Santa Marta you will need to take taxi back home, as it is quite an abandoned area in the night, and it is risky to walk back from the old center to the hotel.
Friendly staff, very helpful. Clean rooms.

Australia5 to 10 minute walk to the Centro Histórico and the beach, which is not far at all but I don’t like walking at night. The area felt quite safe though.
Friendly and helpful staff who made us feel welcomed. Clean and comfortable room. The rooftop terrace is really nice and has a great pool. Good breakfast buffet served on the rooftop terrace. The check out time - 1pm.

One of our favourite places that we have stayed in Colombia. The best was sooo comfy, A/C, a great sized room and a lamp provided in the room too. The staff were friendly too. The rooftop is a nice area to relax with a small pool and sunbeds. Walking distance to the bus for Minca and Palomino too.
