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.).

UruguaySunbeds at the club house are not free, it is not specified anywhere, you have to pay 10usd, and may use it for consumption. The only free sunbeds are the ones in playa mansita, next to the marriot, but no one informed that when we arrived, since the people in the reception were not kind enough and did not know.
The house was really comfortable, people were very friendly except the girls in the reception. They had no clue about anythign we asked.

United StatesThe keys were left at the main gate, and there were no instructions for each time we returned to the gates. We should say the address first. I told them the reservation name and several times; they did not find us, so we were left waiting to get to the villa. Simple instructions at check-in could save time and avoid waste of time. It is only possible to stay in this village if you have a car. There is nothing to eat at check-in. We arrived at 10 p.m. hungry after a delayed flight, and there was nothing to eat in the villa or the neighborhood. A few fruits or a cracker would be a lovely welcome to guests. Small things make a huge difference. The closest town is Tamarindo, a 30-minute drive away. Consider this when planning your meals. Unfortunately, we stayed there for four nights and at the third day the pool was dirty and green.
The villa is comfortable, with a nice pool, well-equipped kitchen, and good beds. Hacienda Pinilla is a private property with nice facilities for a fee. It was 102F when I stayed there, so there were no options to go outside when the sun was up. The beaches are private, so we encountered few people there. It was nice, but rip currents kept us away from swimming.

United StatesThere's little to no info ahead of time that access to gas stations, restaurants, or nearby stores is limited to nonexistent. To find a grocery store, it's at least a ~20 minute drive away. Unless you plan to eat all your meals exclusively at the beach club, beware to gather what you need before arriving at this remote getaway.
The property is beautiful and the condo is HUGE and quiet. Wifi is fast, and A/C is reliable. The grounds are maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. Felt safe the entire time and enjoyed the feeling of being fully amongst nature.

United StatesLeaving the property out the back entrance was a huge ditch across the intersection, it was getting dark, raining, and a warning from the security guard that drivers could only cross at the far left corner of the road would have been really nice. My 4x4 Montiero Sport bottomed out, badly, causing $280 US in damage. A little heads up would have been appreciated.
Fantastic luxury home, great pool, beautiful lake, close to the ocean, and gorgeous grounds. This resort was everything I'd hoped for and exceeded my expectations.

United StatesThe house was great but it's missing a few details...perhaps think about adding a few pool toys like pool noodles, or inflatables. Having lounge chairs that go flat for sun bathing would be ideal. Plus plastic cups and plates would be perfect too. (Safer for kids and the pool area). For the beach having at least 1 boogie board would be very convenient and even sand toys (bucket and shovel). These are items that travelers don't carry with them and would be great to have in a luxury home as an amenity.
The house was fantastic and the pool was perfect to come home to every day after our adventures.

United StatesThe gravel road to the property is bumpy but that is no reflection on Hacienda Pinilla.
Security and gated entrance. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen came with everything we needed to make meals and grill, the private pool at our villa was excellent, housekeeping and rental staff were friendly and very helpful. They assisted us with arranging Covid tests at our villa. This is our second stay at Hacienda Pinilla and we love it.

CanadaVery far from town. Not accommodating for early check in. Maids came in to clean and our children were still in bed sleeping. When I asked her to come back later she said that they were too busy so we had to let her in to clean while we were still getting ready for our day.
Stayed here for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom in the Palma Real building. Despite emailing twice in advance of our arrival to ask for an early check in (we flew all night so arrived mid morning and check in was at 3pm) the hotel did not bend one minute to allow us in early. Instead we were sent to the beach club which has a cost of $10pp which is then credited towards food. It was a nice facility but when you have been up all night and just want to get into your room, we didn’t enjoy it as much. We did eat and the food was excellent although pricey. We got into the room just after 3pm. We had the beach club call twice before 3 to see if our room was ready and they kept saying no. We saw no one else checking in or out so I question how busy it was. Our unit was a Huge place with tons of space, 2.5 bathrooms and lots of outdoor space plus a very well appointed kitchen. Unit was a little dated but clean. I was surprised to find just a queen bed in the master given the huge size but it was comfortable enough. The property itself is gigantic and you definitely cannot walk anywhere. It’s also very far from town, about 20 min by car so you are very isolated. It’s a very bumpy drive down a pot holed dusty road from hiway to property. It’s heavily guarded. You must go through security gates to get into the main property and then again for your specific complex. We felt very safe. A few animals around the property including iguana and monkeys. We did have coffee over at the Marriott one morning and it’s a lovely property.
