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):
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.).

BoliviaUnfortunately, probably due to the fact that Arica has one of the most busy harbors in Chile, the sea is not very clean. The sea brings a lot of foam to the hotel beach that stays on the beach and on top of the water. The bathroom were clean but the shower could need a door so that the bathroom doesn't get flooded with every shower.
The view was absolutely amazing. The hotel is located directly at the beach so you can hear the waves even though the closed balcony door. All rooms feature a balcony with a wonderful view. The quality of the food served in the restaurant was exceeding our expectations. It was excellent. Breakfast is as well very good with fresh fruit, egg, toast, fresh warm bread and yogurt. All you need for a good start into a new day. The staff was lovely and very helpful.

United StatesWe loved the hotel so much we returned for 2 more nights later that week. The staff, especially Franco, were so helpful not only with the hotel but with taxis to and from the airport and suggestions for activities in the area. We also recommend the breakfast but in particular the delicious dinners served at the wonderful patio right on the ocean. The rooms are comfortable and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves.

United StatesNothing! Everything was superb!
The location was outstanding. The staff was amazing and the most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful you could imagine. Special recognition needs to be given to Franco who always went the extra mile to accommodate our every need and interest. The beds were very comfortable the breakfasts were tasty and abundant, and the mini Galapagos we woke up to every morning was a immense plus for our 8 day trip to Arica and the Atacama desert of northern Chile. A variety of wildlife thrives right off the balconies of each room and includes colorful birds, starfish, crabs and fish. We highly recommend this property to nature lovers and adventure lovers alike. The hotel is sustainable and a very unique design that blends in well with the surroundings and keeps the rooms comfortable without any air conditioning whatsoever. You can’t go wrong with Hotel Apacheta! Enjoy your stay!

Can’t beat the location. Arriving after midnight hearing the waves crash on the beach about 50 m from my room was totally awesome. Tasty breakfast every morning just the right amount of food. Excellent restaurant if you want to eat in the hotel in the evening and the staff was very accommodating.
