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 reviewPerfect stay if you prefer a private, calm and chill stay instead of big hotels. Bernard and his team were awesome. From the very first minute on, they made us feel at home in their very clean house with beautiful surroundings in the middle of San Andres Center. Excellent local recommendations and always helpful. Walkable to the airport and all beaches nearby. The perfect place and that's why we prolonged from 3 to 6 nights!

No notice when the staff cleaned my room without asking me first. No shampoo or body wash.
Hello Chris, nice to greet you. We apologize for any inconvenience. It is not customary to ask the guest whether to clean the room or not, as it is specified on the booking platform that room cleaning service is provided daily, except on Sundays.

Verified reviewThe hostess, her son, and the housekeeper were very accommodating and helpful. We were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. The room was cleaned daily, and we were allowed to use the kitchen. The accommodation is very well equipped, clean, and cozy. We really enjoyed the entire stay. A big thank you to the warm and attentive care of the hostess. We would recommend it to anyone planning to visit San Andres. The value for money is unbeatable.

Verified reviewI really like the place, the posada has a lovely garden and my room had a hammock outside. The owners were very welcoming, they always gave me coffee in the mornings and gave me suggestions on what to do. I worked for a few days and the Internet worked great.. however keep in mind it is an island and it can fail sometimes. The posada was right in the center, 10 min walk from the beach and another 10 to the marinas. There are a few local and cheap restaurants around as well.
Internet didn't really get to my room most of the time.

Verified reviewWe loved Posada Nativa Bernard Place. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and the room was comfortable - large bed, good wifi, cool A/C. When you step through the gate into the courtyard area, all the street noise melts away and it's quiet, cool and peaceful. I loved sitting out there for hours reading and petting the friendly dog and cat. I really appreciated the complimentary water too, given that water on the island is not potable. The hosts also helped us get taxis and find a good snorkeling spot. Apparently there was laundry service available for clothing too. I could not recommend this place more - it's a peaceful oasis and a way to spend your money on local residents rather than foreign hotel chains!
Can't think of anything!

I booked a room with a double bed for two people, the day after I arrived my girlfriend joined me and they demanded more money for that, as if I only paid for half a bed, it doesn't make sense at all
Hello Aviram, I hope you arrived safely at your destination. I believe you may not have understood that, even though the room is listed as a double on Booking, this room has two rates: one rate for two people and half of that rate for a single person. In other words, you chose a double room but paid the rate for a single person. In the booking we received from Booking, it stated that the reservation was for a single person, and the corresponding rate was charged. You never mentioned that someone else would be arriving. When you expressed doubts about our requirement, you mentioned that you had contacted Booking, so we also contacted Booking to request them to address your concerns. That same night, you came to our door to make the remaining payment, which led us to believe that your doubts had been resolved. Therefore, I don't understand your frustration and displeasure since we were never disrespectful, aggressive, or demanding. Throughout our interaction, we maintained a cordial conversation with you. For your information, in the lodging system, rates are based on the number of people in a room.

Verified reviewThe place is amazing! First of all, the people (Bernard, Ilse, Melanie and Marta) are so helpful and loveable, and care so much for the environment. The place has very good facilities with outside shower, room with a comfortable bed and a good air conditioner. The room was always clean (which for me is a huge thing). Also, the green area and their pets are a plus! I highly recommend this place. I had a great experience and they were part of it.

Verified reviewMr. Bernard, family and staff couldn't be more helpful and kind ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Excellent location, quiet and very warm. Even though we're not fond of air-conditioning, it worked well with the fan and kept the cozy room comfortable. Bed was comfortable, excellent water pressure and very clean. Definate value for money.
The water could have been a little warmer, but common for the island.

Verified reviewThe hosts are a lovely couple who welcomed us warmly. There is a small set of rules, but we discussed it over a cocoloco kindly offered to us upon arrival. As this is the host's living place (a large house with annexes and garden), they keep it super clean and tidy. Aircon worked well, wifi and TV too. Shower and bathroom were clean and fully functioning, though there is only cold (cool) water (hot water is not needed on the coast as it is really hot). The housekeeping ladies were lovely to us, special mention to them! The location is a 5 mins walk from the downtown seafront and 10 to 15 mins walking from the airport (the island is really small). There's shops and restaurants around but the house is quiet and we could sleep well.
all good
