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...).

NetherlandsThe room was spacious and comfortable; however, the bed was rather hard and made noise.
Great location, just a short distance from the city center. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the restaurant is excellent.

The location directly on the beach. The intimacy of the place and the super friendly staff, especially the owners introduction to the property. The food served in the restaurant is of very good quality and nicely presented. Absolutely good value for money, we got what we expected. Thanks.

AustriaThere's quite some driftwood at the beach directly in front of the hotel. The view at the beach is awesome regardless, but we choose other areas to enjoy lying on the beach and swim.
Very helpful staff! Breakfast and evening dining options as well as Happy hour we're also really good.

CanadaThere were some flying ants and lizards in the room. They did not bother or bite so it was fine. You do need bug spray if you are a magnet for mosquitoes like I am. It would be nice to have sun beds on the beach itself.
The location of this property is fantastic! Beach front and 10 minutes to walk into town although it is dark at 6:30pm and I would not walk to or from town on the beach as it is very dark. Every single member of staff was Amazing!! The beach and water are fantastic! Nice waves to play in and soft sand. Food is phenomenal!

United StatesI am giving this overall 10/10. The o my thing for me and because I have had a back injury was the bed being too firm but definitely not enough to knock this place out of a 10.
The vibe was perfect and chill. The restaurant quickly became our favorite spot to eat, drink and chill! Also, great value!

United StatesI might have made a mistake ordering the uncooked salmon dish. It wasn't fresh, but I didn't get sick. It was wonderful with avocado and fruit.
Thoughtfully designed hotel on the sandy beach. Though they have no parking other than public beach parking, it wasn't a problem. AC and fan in the room kept it too cool but delightful after the 80% humidity.

CanadaSome people may not find the rooms satisfactory. We are outdoor people who really just sleep in the room so it was fine for us. Another blanket or two for the beds would be awesome. The AC in the rooms is great and provides a cool escape from the heat! The wifi wasn’t very reliable but we were fine with that.
Location is amazing! Privacy at the resort and just a short beach walk to town. Complimentary breakfast is wonderful! Staff are friendly and provide great service. It is a small resort where staff know their guests. The resorts dogs are so cute! Loved it!
