Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt is a steep and dark hike to the house which felt a little unsafe. Wouldn't recommend it alone, but you can take a taxi.
The view from the house over the mountains and jungle is incredible. The room was gorgeous with an outside bathroom. The host was accomodating of an issue we made in the booking, and also careful with our food allergies.

United KingdomUnforgettable experience at the Casita del Bosque. The most incredible location surrounded by nature (featuring monkeys and colibrís!!). The kindest hosts who will go out of their way to solve any problems you have. Thoughtful and generous. The cabins are super nice too. Don't worry about the walk to the place, it's part of the experience (and you can always grab a lift if you've got big bags etc). 10/10.

GermanyIt’s a wonderful quiet place just like you can see on the pictures. We loved every second of our stay. Yes, the path to get there can be a bit challenging especially if you carry luggage, but it honestly makes the place even more beautiful. You can reach the entrance of Tayrona, beautiful beaches and restaurants in just a few minutes from main street (walking or bus). We’d definitely come back!

CanadaThe property is a bit far from Tayrona National Park and public beaches, but there is a bus to Tayrona and Jose provided maps, info, and taxi numbers for getting around.
Absolutely stunning location, quiet, peaceful, and romantic. I woke up every morning to birds chirping and a beautiful sunrise. We stayed in the king room which was very private and comfortable. A delicious breakfast was served every morning and Jose was so friendly and helpful with getting us takeout food to our room and info about Tayrona. The dogs and cats on site are a treat as well.

ItalyNothing at all. It is true that the location is a bit remote (20 min walk in a secondary unpaved road in the jungle) but it is well communicated by them and they offer services to avoid the walk.
Everything. The location is super nice, with fantastic view and you have any comfort in the room even if you are in the middle of the jungle: long size bed with fab mattress, huge bathroom, hammocks in the balcony etc. Breakfast is also very good and complete (special mention for the superb cayeye!). They are in a remote location but there are valid food delivery and eating in the jungle is a superb experience that will liase you with nature. Finally, staff were great in providing hint and tips on what to visit and how that helped us avoid the Easter crowd in Tayrona park (where possible)

Wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful peace and nature of the region. The property is very remote so ideal to fully relax. Birds, butterflies and wonderful plants full of flowers enchant your stay. The views are breathtaking. The very kind owners help you to arrive to the place by jeep if needed. You need to climb some stairs to get to the breakfast area and the place itself. Not an issue for me but people with reduced mobility should be aware. Delicious breakfast.

CanadaThe shower pressure wasn't perfect but is probably expected given how hard it must be to bring water to the location - just something to keep in mind for future visitors so there aren't any surprises!
Exceptional stay at Casita del Bosque! José was incredibly accommodating and helpful, the views were insane, the bed extremely comfortable, and overall the room we stayed in was perfectly isolated and calm (couldn't even hear the road, but you could definitely hear the waves of the sea at night!). The breakfast was freshly prepared every morning and we were treated to local specialities such as cayeye! We would come back in a heartbeat! About the "trek" to get there, we'd say it was more along the lines of 10minutes, and we did it in flip-flops multiple times without a problem, so don't be intimidated by the description!

DenmarkThe cabana we stayed in was one of the most beautiful forest accommodations we have ever stayed at. The view was stunning from our room, simply spectacular. The room itself was very spacious and cosy. The breakfast was the best we have had in Colombia, super fresh and each day something different. Our hosts were very helpful in giving us advise, organising our dinner and helping us by driving our bags from the entrance of the property (it’s a long uphill hike)

ItalyThis place looks like a heaven on Earth if you're looking for a place in deep connection with Nature! The room was absolutely great and clean. The private bathroom is outdoor (but you can access directly from the room) with the shower literally in the forest is simply amazing. The bed is super comfortable and it has a mosquito net to protect you from any insects while sleeping. Johanna and her partner are lovely people and ready to help you with anything! Definitely recommended. Gracias Johanna, hasta pronto :)

SwitzerlandThere's really nothing to criticize :) Having the possibility to make coffee or tea in the rooms would be an amazing addition as well as having an alternative to ordering in food from other restaurants in the evenings (such as maybe being able to have a simple dinner at the main house).
We felt very welcomed by the hosts Johanna and her partner, they were super attentive and supported us with any questions we had. Furthermore, the place is stunning, it truly lives up to its name, since you feel like you are in the middle of the forest, we even saw monkeys from our balcony. Also the breakfast is very rich and typically colombian.

United KingdomAs others have commented, the walk from the road isn’t easy - though we’re in our 60s and managed ok. Also Jose & Johana we’re there to help with luggage for arrival & departure (& sometimes in between). Water pressure in the top cabin is also a bit low.
La Casita is heaven! An oasis of calm in a sea of tourism - the property is located in and above the tree tops of the Sierra Nevada jungle, with bird song and flowers all around, yet within 20min access by foot to the coastal road and lots of lovely Caribbean beaches & good restaurants. Breakfasts were delicious - we stayed 6 nights, and every day the breakfast were different. Our bed was huge and the best we’ve had in Colombia. Johanna and Jose couldn’t do enough to help us and the welcome was wonderful. We like everything about the place & didn’t want to leave!

CanadaBring snacks and other beverages with you or back with you from your outings because there's no food offered outside of breakfast. In the evening for dinner you can order from a few of the restaurants around and they'll deliver to you at the house. Just like much of the beautiful settings in Colombia, you have to work for it. To get to the main road and back to the house you need to trek along an up and down challenging path with many stairs. You can arrange to have help bring your luggage up with 4x4. Johanna also arranged taxi service to pick up for transport to airport.
Jungle setting away from the crowds and loud parties. Beautiful gardens and beds were comfy. I loved having an outdoor shower. Breakfasts are authentic and delicious. You are meant to feel at home, which I completely felt. All other beaches, hikes and parks are just a short bus ride down the road. Johanna spoke fairly good English so was able to help me out with any directions. If you wanted to just chill and take breathtaking surroundings, watch the hummingbirds play and recharge this is the perfect place. I will stay again next time I'm here without hesitation. This place is magic!

The garden on your approach to the house is full of butterflies. We saw birds, stick insects, huge butterflies. Joanna was really helpful with maps of park Tayrona and walks / trips nearby.

NetherlandsThe only thing I would recommend working on is the shower, as the water comes very slowly/thinly. This is a veryyyyy minor thing, though!!
What a wonderful stay we had! The room was incredibly spacious and had a wonderful view. The terrace had two hammocks so we could both enjoy the relaxing views and sounds of the forest. It is a secluded area and you will need to walk a good 15min to get to the hotel, but the peace and beauty are well worth it. Breakfast was included and we feasted! It had a homemade vibe to it, and we ate something different everyday. For other meals, the hosts offer a delivery service from restaurants in the area. Drinking water is available at all times. The hosts are incredibly kind, hardworking, and love the area. They have a lot of great tips for you to enjoy your stay and explore the surroundings! They are by far the best hosts we have ever encountered and will come back the moment we can! This place respects the nature around it, and it feels wonderful to be able to reconnect with nature in such a comfortable manner.
