How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA Perfect Family Getaway at Aloe B&B Our stay at Aloe B&B in Aruba was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by Mariel and Dirk, the wonderful hosts who clearly put so much love and care into every detail of this beautiful vacation rental. The environment is serene, charming, and very family-friendly—perfect for our family of four. We especially loved the outdoor kitchen and dining area, where we had the pleasure of connecting with other guests over meals and conversations. The lush garden adds a peaceful, tropical vibe that made every moment feel like a retreat. The rooms and premises were spotless and very well maintained, and our kids had an absolute blast enjoying the pool. One of the sweetest surprises was meeting Bella, Mariel and Dirk’s lovely dog—so gentle, calm, and friendly with all the guests. She truly added an extra layer of comfort and joy to our stay. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—right in Oranjestad, with most major attractions just a short drive away. The airport is also conveniently close (about 6–8 minutes), which made our arrival and departure super easy. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and can’t recommend Aloe B&B enough—especially for families or anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming, and centrally located spot in Aruba. Thank you again, Mariel and Dirk (and Bella!), for making our trip so special—we can’t wait to return!

Verified reviewThis one is a no-brainer for the budget conscious and demanding Aruba traveler. A short 15 minutes ride from the airport and close to all beaches (by car). A spacious room with a good bed, well equipped bathroom and all the amenities you can wish for. We truly enjoyed our stay and since the host family makes this is real home it’s easy to come back. Mariel, Dirk, their 2 sons and dog Bella were just a wonderful team. Aruban Dutch warm hospitality with an eye for detail (love the mango trees), great tips (love the Indonesian restaurant Nusa), and Dirk who knows a lot about the island’s history. This B&B was a real find and we love to come back 💕🏝️

pool floats would have been nice by the pool
Hi Dean, Thanks so much for your great review! We really enjoyed having you and hearing of your adventures. Just a quick tip for next time—feel free to ask if you’re ever missing anything. For instance, we have plenty of fun pool floats, just stored away to keep things tidy. Hope to see you again soon for more poolside fun! Cheers, The Aloe B&B Team

Verified reviewWe loved our room which was spacious and comfortable. It has a large window with a view to a gorgeous stone garden with fruit trees that invited many birds. We loved the outdoor premises. Just spending time in the hammock and by the pool would have made our vacation. We wanted a home away from home and That’s what we found in n this property. We can’t wait to Go back!!
Well, we had to get to be used to the water in the shower not being as hot as we are used to. However, after some days in the heat of the beach, we came to appreciate it.

Verified reviewThe room was really nice and the bed and shower were excellent.
The location wasn’t the best for someone who didn’t have a car but it was a quiet neighborhood. I know the TV on an island is not a must but it could have been better.

Verified reviewThe hosts, Mariel and Dirk, were unfailingly kind and helpful. They have a delightful black Labrador, named Bella. The property as a whole provides an excellent environment for the guests. There is a feeling of calm, ideal for unwinding and relaxing. I loved the swimming pool and the shaded area of the garden with its tropical plants. I also appreciated the outdoor bar with kitchen for the use of the guests. The room I stayed in - a quadruple with two large double beds - was spacious. The beds, equipped with superior mattresses, were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower met all expectations. The Wi-Fi was good, with multiple sites to allow for moving around the property. The property is in a good residential area. There are two small supermarkets a short walk away. For those without a car, the downtown area is about 25 minutes' walk. That said, unless you are located right by the beach, steps away from shops and restaurants, it really makes more sense to rent a car in Aruba.
I have no complaints about Aloe B&B. Just one or two suggestions. Rather than have a chest of drawers in the room (after all, there is plenty of shelf space in the closet), a desk and chair would have been preferable. For those who have checked out but are waiting for a late flight, there is a need for bathroom facilities for general use. It should be noted that, although cards are accepted, the owner actually expressed a preference to be paid in cash. As I do not carry around large sums in cash, he nevertheless accepted my payment of the balance outstanding by card.
Thanks Peter for being our guest. And thank you very much for your very kind words. We will take your suggestions to heart and see how we can follow them up. Come back anytime if winter gets too cold. Warm regards, from us all!

Verified reviewLots of attention from Mariel and Dirk always available to assist and improve overall the quality of Aloé B&B. Close enough to downtown area although in a very quiet place.
Mosquitoes but not much Aloé B&B can do against.
Merci beaucoup Christophe, very happy with your review. Thanks for being our guest. Prior to your arrival we had our place checked for mosquitos, but alas the source was not at our place. Until we meet again! Warm regards!
