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.).

United StatesThe room was clean and had air conditioning, yet it didn't have a window. The shower was on the cool side, but very refreshing considering the weather was hot and humid.
The restaurant had delicious food and coffee. We ate dinner the first night there. The Tartar Tuna was delicious and fresh, the seafood platter was good, yet the crabs were too small to eat. In the morning, we had coffee. It was nice not to have to find a restaurant. Adolfo was friendly and spoke great English and he was very helpful. They allowed us to park our motorbike on the property, which was very convenient.

SwitzerlandIt is a very basic room and nothing very special.
The location is great if you want to take the ferry boat. Although Google maps showed us a lication far up the street the locals could tell us where it was and we found it imediatly. The receptionist was very kind and we could park the car inside. The beds are very comfortable.

United StatesI had no water when I woke up the next morning to take a shower or wash my face! I had to ask the nice lady cleaning the rooms for a bucket of water to wash my face and brush my teeth. The google map gives the wrong location. This place is in the middle of the peninsula and not at almost the end which google map tells you! The beach is a disaster! It is full of trash! The city needs to clean up the beach.
I loved this place. Simple but comfortable room with a lovely and helpful staff. The food that came out of the kitchen was fantastic and the price was comparable to any other restaurant in the area. I totally recommend this place.

GermanyRooms smell too much chlorine. Just a little bit bad.
Comfy beds. Nice located next to the bus station. It's a restaurant and hotel together. You check in inside the restaurant. Owners are kind. Only Spanish speaking. You can have also a breakfast at the restaurant. Place around isn't nice. It's dirty there and stinking. Stay just one night there for the ferry.
