Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Not too much to complain about, air conditioning was noisy, but worked anyway. We got a room with ocean/sstreet view, but unfortunately the glass was full of sand or salt I guess... so we couldn't enjoy the view.
Location is very good and convenient, even if you are a good walker, you can walk to the hotel from the airport and vice versa. You'll find plenty of restaurants and options around, the beach is just steps away from the hotel, they provide you towels, so you are covered! The crew is very kind, they try to do their best. Breakfast is good as well, we spent 3 nights and they vary the menu, which was good to us.

I got stuck in the elevator with my mom which suffers from claustrophobia for more than five minutes just because the building ran out of electricity. The emergency system didn't work and I had to contact the staff via WhatsApp (fortunately I had signal in there) as we couldn't communicate other way. The hotel is great in general terms, but it's noticeable that the infrastructure is quite old.
The accomodations were great and the views are really beautiful. The rooftop is on a 9th floor, so you can see a lot of the sea and also s great part of the island.

The property is dilapidated, no money is being put in to maintain it. It is in terrible shape. Breakfast was scrambled eggs and pasteurized American cheese. Way overpriced for what you get.
It is beachfront

The room and hotel are in a state of decay. For the price I paid, the owner should be investing in the property and updating it. The room smelled, was falling apart, and very dated. The breakfast had scrambled eggs and pasteurized American cheese.
We had a view of the ocean through dirty windows. The staff were very friendly.

I'm very sorry but the buffet breakfast every day was simply horrible! The staff controls every item you can receive such as substandard dried hard fruit, orange juice served in small glasses similar to a whisky shot glass which forces you to return 3 or 4 times to have enough to drink, dry substandard breads, and by the time the cook finally has your eggs ready (usually a 10 minute wait), the rest of your breakfast is cold and not enjoyable. My wife only orders fried eggs for her breakfasts but they refused to serve her what she wanted on our third day. The old lady tried to force my wife to eat her eggs the way the hotel wanted. Very disrespectful! Because the breakfasts were so poor, we never ate at their restaurant...thank God! In the hotel photos, the rooftop pool looked very appealing and attractive, but in reality it looked just like a concrete jungle. Hard looking concrete floors and walls with no landscape materials at all... as compared to the beautiful Casablanca Hotel right next door. Also, the hotel lobby has cheap looking plastic mold- like chairs and extremely low tables that can never be used by hotel guests. And the front desk staff in general, was accommodating to our simple questions, but we never experienced any special individual help or support from any members of the front desk personnel. But the maids were always kind and very sweet as we passed them in the hallway. This was a hotel we would not recommend to other travelers to San Andrés as there are so many other better opportunities.
Good location across from the beach and good access to all shopping and restaurants. Our room was decent but just ok for the price.

It is very noisy every single night, mostly because outside a lot of people walk the whole night with loudspeakers and stay quite long in front of the hotel with music, i.e. sleeping is a big issue. One night the person on the next room had music incredible loud, we complained at the reception and they just call the room, the person did not comply with lowering the music until long after that. The room walls were infested with a very small insect, we realized this at the very last day, we did not inform this to the hotel due to the service attitude they have. There was no warm water for showering, this was not informed before booking and should be a standard and basic service. There was no balcon or any place in the room where you can hang clothes to let it dry, this should also be a standard and basic service mostly next to a beach.
Breakfast was ok. Only one lady at the reception was quite nice, everyone else was not that much interested in service, it might be a cultural thing. Towels were lent for the beach. Beds were good.

the staff were rude and we had a problem at checkout, they wanted to charge me for consuming a drink from the fridge which is false, at the end they said they won’t charge me but then i saw a charge on my account, they basically robbed me
i didnt like anything, we didn’t get the room we paid for with the big bed instead they gave us a double room.
