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 reviewJust in front of the beach. Nice veranda with hammocks. Occasionally you may find some live music and salsa lessons in the nearby bar :)
Can get a bit noisy with the nearby bar. Rooms could benefit from some renovation.

Verified reviewThe location was great—just a short walk to the beach and very conveniently close to a restaurant. The setup was a bit confusing at first since the reception is part of the restaurant, but the staff were very friendly and incredibly accommodating throughout the stay. There were plenty of seating areas and hammocks provided, which made it easy to relax. One of the highlights was a beautiful viewpoint on a cliff about a 10-minute walk away—definitely worth the short hike. The food at the restaurant was also quite good.
Unfortunately, the bathroom left a lot to be desired. The water pressure was poor, and the toilet water had a yellow tint, which was off-putting. We also encountered quite a few horse fleas, which was unpleasant.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was ok and the location lovely, right in front of the beach. The restaurant had very good food.
It was a smoking room and I am a non smoker with children, this was very inconvenient. We had trouble with the A/C and had to report it several times to get it fixed. Visually we had the palm trees and ocean in front but also an open maintenance area that was not well kept.

Verified reviewFabulous location, right on an absolutely beautiful beach. Great staff, lovely food. We had such a wonderful time.
The standard of accommodation is fairly basic, and a little worn, but that really didn't matter, as it's all about the beach!!

Verified reviewI loved the location as the property is right on the beach. We enjoyed our stay so much that we returned to the hotel although it is simple; but it has everything one needs. We loved listening to the sound of the waves and rain (when it rained), a unique experience. The hotel's staff is very friendly and helpful as well.
At times the shadow's water heater did not work, but as the climate is really warm, we did not care, we used it right after the beach to wash the salty water away and even enjoyed the fresh cold shower =)

Verified reviewWow, best hidden gem! Rustic, but perfect. Make sure you ask for bungalow 1 or 2 when booking - those are the ones with cute hammocks and direct beach access. I can’t say enough about the staff. Everyone was so wonderful. Loved having the restaurant there to order food throughout the day. Thanks for an unforgettable stay! We even came back for a farewell lunch after we left.

Verified reviewLocation is inbeatable!
We had bottom left room. Top row windows cant be covered -> light from neighbouring bar was not a problem as we were off-season (june) and no people, hence no noise too. Very basic room. Restaurant/bar is a bit pricy taking advantage of location and no competition

Verified reviewGreat location, straight on the beach. Tasty food in restaurant. Helpful personnel. Great place for a few nights with direct access to the beach. Free sunbeds available for guests, but You need to be on the beach pretty early to have them.
Noisy neighborhood at late evenings - drunken people. poor English skills of restaurant waiters. Hotel parking area occupied by non guest visitors during the whole day.
