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 reviewCentrally located! That’s it!
I got there late. They have no water, no ice, no microwave (at least that’s what they told me that night), no cups to make yourself a drink (just this tiny 3 oz cup), pool was dirty and water not clear, breakfast set up, all full of flies and ants.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was great. During the day there were friendly people behind the desk.
The check in was a terrible experience. We arrived late. There was a night porter. He was complete drunk, sleeping and uncomfortable. The payment was problematic because he was drunk. Our credit card was therefore blocked.

Verified reviewThe room was nice and spacious. It also had a refrigerator and a balcony. The location was great, in the center and about 5 minute walk to the historic center, yet it's in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was excellent and the kitchen lady was friendly.

Verified reviewLocation is okay in the new part of town
Rooms were below average, room doors not very secure. They are also not flexible at changing dates, even when they have rooms available and it over a week in advance. It is better to stay somewhere else in Paraty.

Verified reviewonly the location
The nice pictures don’t match the place at all. It is poorly maintained and felt like an abandoned hotel , it wasn't worth it at all. I don't recommend it for the absurd amount charged. The breakfast left something to be desired. The only positive point was the location. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Verified reviewNothing. Avoid this place
Receptionist is useless Director doesn't answer to mobile or whatsapp They took our money and disappeared Room wasn't clean Wall with holes Bedcovers in pure plastic Air condition with external engine on the only door/window available (very noisy) Main doors don't lock Bathroom with a small window blocked by brick wall Electric cable exposed over the shower Dirty Tiny sink without space for anything Toilet's flush without cover Shower without shelf for soap or shampoo I can't believe booking can allow this infrastructure and rate it as good. Don't waste your money like us choose a better place, there are many in paraty and cheaper. We refused to sleep in such bad place. They are avoiding our refund. Very difficult to reach them by whatsapp (by booking or phone it is impossible)

The first room we had was dark and very, very damp. There was very little in the room and the bathroom was tiny.
