Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

ThailandDorm is on the fifth floor 🤣 which isn't that bad a thing, keeps you fit. Ac in the dorm was super nosy as was the wind howling. Earplugs solved this though.
Right on the beach. Awesome upstairs terrace to get work down, chill or do some pull-ups from the bar of the swings. Good deals on beers, quiet and close to shops and restaurants.

GermanyThere is usually laud music at the front desk, which can make the lobby, pool, and other common areas a bit annoying. There are also private parties in the cafeteria of the hotel, which can be very laud, and do not let any guests in.
Our room hat a great view of the ocean and the mountains. It was very fresh in spite of the scorching sun in Santa Marta. In the back part of the hotel there is a estuary, where flocks of cranes and others birds can be seen.

United StatesThe hostel doesn't have elevator, neither room services, then be advised if you need special attention. On the other hand, its has a river in the back which is really dirty. The customer services could be improved.
This Hostel is located just at the front of the beach, then has a wonderful Sunset. The food is excellent and the best, the price vs value is exceptional.

IrelandThe dorms. I suppose you get what you pay for. .beds very close together so no privacy at all, bed sheets a little grubby. No lockers for your stuff and no door lock either. Shower was not in a separate bathroom or shower room it opened straight onto dorm....so you have nowhere to undress or get changed in...
The pool and common areas were nice and good views over sea

BoliviaI stayed at Cantamar because it looked like was easy access to the beach, but that is not true. It has a very nice space with hammocks and palm tress where you can "relax" and watch the sunset, unfortunately next to the property there is an empty public space that many times of the day had people drinking ans sometimes these people entered the hotel property, so it did not feel really safe. the access to the property does not feel safe due to the presence of these persons along the day and evening, There are lockers but not on every floor or room, so very impractical....
I liked a lot the kindness of the staff. I love the pool and the breakfast was very good. Good chance to enjoy beautiful sunsets.
