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.).

ColombiaAll was perfect. The price maybe is somewhat high, but I believe this is the strategy to make ONE santuario an exclusive experience.
This place is a peaceful realm, full of nature. The surroundings are spectacular. The river with clear waters, the small beach, the constant wind, all invite you to rest and relax. Edwin, Edilberto and all the staff were present at all times, alert to anything we might need. What a great service. Nidia and their team at the "spa" were great. Nidia is a skilled massage therapist. Great work on my legs and back! The casa de vapor experience was OUT of this world. We love steam baths and sauna, but the temazcal stands apart. Whoever likes steam baths and or sauna must try this one. It is by the river so you can go straight to it and cool off. Food was really good. It took a while for us to get what we ordered, but it was worthwhile. Fresh natural flavors in every dish. The room was good as well. It was a big king kiosk, with the rest room on one side. The shower had no ceiling, and there was HOT water. Cool indeed.

United StatesThere was construction near the river. it’s a very buggy area, but the AC and mosquito nets help with that. I wish they had internet to the rooms.
We enjoyed staying here! unique experience, lovely landscapes, very quiet. The staff is attentive and friendly. The river was great for kids and they enjoyed the private pool. The rooms are large and comfortable, and we enjoyed the (hot) outdoor shower. The food here is pricey, but once we had a meal I was much less upset about the price (and especially once we ate at some of the overpriced , tourist trap restaurants in the town).The food is great - some of the best I’ve had in Colombia and miles above what you typically get here.

United KingdomPoor WiFi meant we had some difficulty using our credit cards to settle the bill. The hotel is expensive even by European standards, but it is a luxury experience. You will have to expect insects getting into the room despite the efforts made as this is a rainforest experience.
An unique experience. A calm and relaxing ambience in beautiful naturalistic gardens set on a curve in the river amongst the magnificent rain forest of the Sierra Nevada. We were greated with warm face flannels as we arrived to see vivid birds and bright and scented flowers. Sympathetic ecohuts with seperate bathrooms and private open air showers. A stunning central building with library, apothecary selling oils and toiletries grown and made on site, seating areas, and an open central campfire. Daily and varied beautifully presented meals of a quality unmatched in any hotel we've stayed in. Great natural treatments are available on request. The list price for meals was lower on our booking site and was incorrect, so check in advance but the lower price was honoured by Leonardo and the team, which was very much appreciated.

United StatesOther than the Naturopath, Jessy, nobody spoke English at the retreat. We were able to arrange our treatments and tours via WhatsApp and google translate, but it was hard to converse with anyone (ie, at dinner wasn't always sure what we were getting). A trek from Palomino. This is a place you go to stay at the Retreat... not to use as a base to explore Palomino, There was also limited hot water, but wasn't a major issue.
Amazing retreat outside of Palomino. Room was super comfortable and large. Food was outstanding. Spa/wellness services were spectacular. We did Thai Massage, Ayurvedic massage and a couples Bioenergetic chiropractic therapy + Acupuncture with their Naturopath, Jessy. I will say this was the highlight of the trip and if you stay not to miss these treatments. Also did the paddle-board to the beach which was great. And they were very accommodating in leaving us down there afterwards so we could explore the beach and town of Palomino a bit.

AustraliaTake bug spray or wear long pants! There are some mosquitos especially after it rains.
ONE Santuario is truly an amazing, unique experience. You are immersed in nature and in the Sierra Nevada jungle, yet the property has all the comforts and luxuries of a 5 star stay. This includes absolutely delicious food (three course meals, each executed to perfection), super comfortable beds and bathrooms, hot water, wifi, and more. The staff is also very responsive and professional. Strongly recommended, and should become a “must stay” for anyone traveling in the area that enjoys a private, genuinely nature-immersed, luxurious stay.

ColombiaExpensive for very little... It is a hotel in a magical and very vulnerable place in Colombia, reasons that make it attractive to any foreigner, but it lacks many things to be a 230 dollars a night hotel (5 stars): 1. The menu is a single, little variety. 2) Breakfast is only one little variety, no juice, no breads, the coffee is of poor quality (very roasted), and little quantity is served. 3) In the rooms there are scorpions, cockroaches, ants, etc. 4) The AC is not regulated in its Temperature. 5) Guests are uncomfortable when they bring pets such as dogs that get on your table and even in the kitchen, 6) many flies in the restaurant, 7) They light a fire in front of the restaurant, smoking the eating space, 8) You ask for towels for the river and they don't arrive. 9) They charge you more than you consumed. Therefore, I recommend that you check the account very well at check out...

ItalyWe had serious and different problems: one big snake in the bathroom (probably a Coral snake). We booked a transfer from the airport with the hotel but, the car wasn’t there waiting for us and the hotel did not tell us anything. The hotel took more money from my credit card then the money we agreed to pay. To have the money back it tools 5 days and we ha to go in 3 different offices in Cartagena and in Bogota because they did many mistakes with the process of transfer. Really bad experience

GermanyActually it is not worth the money. Like EVERYTHING in this hotel is extra. There are many many more hotels were at least Yoga is included. Also I had in the cabana a lot of cockroaches. Of course it is the jungle but with this amount of money I expect the cabana to be desinfected against insects.
The Area was really nice as it was so quit and everything. You could really calm down. The staff was really friendly and helped me with everything. They were great.
