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.).

This gem is a must hidden in the mountains around Minca. The rooms are huge with the hot tub on the balcony allowing you to watch the jungle as you relax. And breathtaking views from every angle. As this is so far away from town it really feels like you are experience the true wildlife. The owner made this stay that extra bit special, the communication was the best I have had at any stay, with assistance with booking transport, to arranging our evening meals. It is a small hotel with just a few rooms so you are really getting that extra personal touch. The breakfast and evening meals were amazing. Please do not hesitate to stay here.

United StatesLoved everything.
We truly loved everything about this hotel. Erica, Nacho and her family are wonderful. They were very welcoming and helped coordinate activities such as a motorcycle tour around town, and a bird walk with an amazing guide during which we saw more than 60 types of birds in a few hours without even leaving the property. Our room was very comfortable, and sitting in the hot tub listening the birds and monkeys was the dreamiest way to start and end each day. The food was excellent and the views from the dining room spectacular. What a perfect place to slow down and soak up the beauty of this area.

United StatesA few additions to the room would've greatly enhanced the experience such as a bathroom door, furniture or a table to place our belongings, and a lamp to use instead of the bright overhead light. The hot tub also did not heat up well or quickly. Additionally, the room became hot in the day due to no a/c. However, this was not much of a problem for us because we left in the morning and it cooled down to a comfortable temperature at night.
We stayed for two nights in the deluxe double room with balcony. It had an incredible view with many bird sightings. Our favorite part was laying on the hammock before sunrise to soak in the environment. The staff were extremely helpful and communicative. The room was clean, but it did not get cleaned the second day. The food was good - we had dinner there one night and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast.

United StatesI was totally satisfied with everything except the sand fleas/flies that attacked my bare legs about half way down the mountain hike.
I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. I was suffering a little from gastrointestinal problems when I arrived and the wonderful cook prepared soups and foods I could eat and enjoy. The hot tub helped me feel better too. I was in Colombia to see the birds and I loved sitting in the yard eating my breakfast as the sun came up and watching the many species of tropical birds who visited every morning. I saw about 40 species during breakfast alone. A day hike back down the mountain was special. Hiking down a mountain can be more stressful to muscles than uphill and this hike was not easy but I am a fit 76 and just took my time. The host set my Google map program to take me through varied and wonderful trails with lots of birds. The trail took me back to Minca and a wonderful waterfall/swimming park where I soaked my poor legs that had suffered from a nasty attack by sand flies I had not prepared for. (Must have bug repelant for that hike but I had no bug problems around the host property.) I took a mototaxi back up which is not for the faint of heart. It was fun though. I highly recommend this place for nature lovers/birders.

Erika has created a magical space that invites you to breathe in all the nature and actually feel your body relax. We spent the afternoon in the outdoor bathtub watching a rain storm come in and then the sun come back out - it was perfection. I will be returning, especially as she really goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. Also, make sure to ask her about the mirador!!

United StatesThis was a great location for remote workers. They have the fastest internet in the area due to the high altitude location, they receive a good signal from the satellite wifi. The view was amazing. The family, cooked professionally prepared meals. Even with the remote location, they receive fresh ingredients weekly while other hotels in the area receive ingredients with less frequency. I really recommend this stay to anyone who wants a chill private experience!

We had the most amazing stay here. Everything was faultless. Great food, lovely people, comfortable rooms and an absolutely breathtaking setting. The jacuzzi on the balcony was amazing! I also had to work remotely for several hours during our stay and the WiFi was the best we have experienced in Colombia. Thank you so much to Erika and everyone at Mirador Aires for everything you did for us during our stay. We also did the birdwatching tour with Marcos, who was unbelievably knowledgeable about birds and the local wildlife, and we would thoroughly recommend it.

We have had an exceptional stay in the dome hut. The place is remotely located, only to be reached by 4x4 or mototaxi, but this is also what makes it special. We enjoyed a jacuzzi under the starry sky only to be followed by a bonfire - all right in front of our dome hut. The sun rises right in front as well - no need even to get up to enjoy it right from the comfy bed. This place is a hidden gem and abaolutely marvelous. The pictures speak for itself.
