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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesThis hostel is an absolute gem! The location couldn’t be more perfect — right on a gorgeous beach with stunning views. The host was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and at home. The staff was equally amazing — so friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about us during our entire stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, welcoming, and unforgettable escape!

Italynot their fault but the loud music that you get in the morning and afternoon from the nextdoor beach club, and at night from the village, might bother some people, so bear it in mind if you book
great location, where you can relax for a few days and enjoy the beach and the nature nice rooms, nice friendly staff, very well priced i think, with a nice private beach and lots of activities we really loved our stay there

SwedenThe stairs up to the room and the ones to the sea were pretty steep, so this is not a place for the physically impaired.
It was awesome to have the sunbeds down by the sea in the shade, especially since the weather was so hot. Hammocks by the room were also great, but it was a bit too hot up there in the day. The plankton night swimming activity was super nice!

GermanyIncredibly friendly staff supported us throughout our short stay (even guided us to the next village to find a place for dinner as we were too late for their internal dinner). The view from our apartment was absolutely fantastic and the "chill-out facilities" (benches hammocks, etc.) right next to the shore are great. We also really loved to see how they were supporting the local community through an ecological project.

LuxembourgDorm was very small.,we were 3 girls in a 4 bed dorm and there was hardly any space for luggage. and we could not be in the room at the same time, apart from sleeping as there was no space Apparently some rooms had bed bugs. I got bitten by some insects, but hopefully only mosquitoes.
Nice ecological hostel, hammocks, swimming, activities.

CanadaVery nice place. There is a small beach where you can snorkel and see the fishes super close from the shore. The view is spectacular. The hostel is very clean and they take recycling very seriously. The food was nice, the staff was so sweet and helpful, even if I couldn’t speak spanish. I initially booked a bed in a dorm, but when i arrived i ended up getting a beautiful private. Anyways, 10/10. I loved it!

United KingdomOur only issue was a group of students who stayed up late one night singing and playing music close to our room. Because the place is open to the elements you can hear everything. This isn't the hostels fault, however we thought music etc was supposed to be off after a certain time and you are woken very early by the sun and birds so this did impact our stay for one of the nights. But it's really not a big issue as we still had an amazing time
The place is a lovely slice of paradise. It was very calming and peaceful and there was plenty of activities to do. Snorkeling from the accommodation was amazing and the staff were all incredible. The food in the restaurant is also amazing!

A small paradise with friendly staff and great activities. I highly recommend the bioluminescent plancton evening tour. I really appreciated that this place treads lightly on the environment.. with water and electricity usage.

GambiaWe love Hamaquero! It's a unique spot in the Rosario Islands because they highly value the coral reefs around the island and have great snorkel gear to use. It's a quiet and relaxing spot. It is a little pricey, especially for people who live in Colombia. Because of that we have to limit our stays to one or two nights.

United KingdomI liked everything about this place but this isn’t a super fancy resort, if you like a more relaxed, backpacker style place you will love it.
Excellent value for solo travellers, the ‘dorm’ beds are almost like private rooms. Great place to unwind and relax with the ocean, plenty of hammock and sun lounger space for everyone. Food is good value (panini were amazing) and great tour to see the plankton- lots of other activity available. Lovely staff. Would recommend.

CanadaJust minor points, really. The sheets were a bit small for the bed, which made for a rough sleep at times. It took a rough night to find out that the mosquito nets weren't properly set up; my mistake for not knowing, and it was solved immediately when I brought it up, but it would have been nice. Again, just minor points.
Amazing spot right on the water, and a great ethos and approach to eco-friendly stays. The activities offered were an incredible mix of wondrous and sustainable, and the facilities were well kept. The staff clearly enjoyed their work, and were happy to interact. All in all, a great place to be.

GermanyMattress wasn’t very comfortable It wasn’t a bother for me, but if you are looking for total serenity and silence then, as others have mentioned, there is a beach club next door, but they stop playing music around 16-17. However, I would avoid going on a weekend because the boat traffic increased by a lot on the Saturday. Some of the boats drove very close to the swimming area and a lot don’t slow down at all so they create big swells for swimmers.
The outdoor areas are pretty fantastic, plenty of seating and hammocks with choice of sun or shade and of course the deck with access to the wonderful sea. I thought the food in the restaurant was good and not more expensive than in the walled city in Cartagena especially considering all food has to be brought to the island. Appreciated several vegetarian options that could also be veganised.
