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.).

BrazilThe mattress and the bad make a lot of noise when you move. I think the wood that support the mattress needs to be adjusted. The breakfast in the first day did not have the options present in the menu that was supposed to be available.
The location and staff are great. The AC and shower work well.

The hotel was really close to the beach (around 500m) and bars and restaurants. The rooms were also nice and comfortable, however the bathroom was not the cleanest. The breakfast was good but nothing special.

Great location, no issues with parking, comfy room with a good shower and aircon. Outside areas were lovely and well cared for, pool was great. Wildlife in the trees to back. Breakfasts were really good and staff were welcoming and professional. We had a great stay. We loved Tabu bar 5 mins away on the beach and Oveja restaurant just across the road. Nearby supermarket

RussiaThe only down point was a bed comfort and stairs to mezzanine where bed was, but it’s me as I am not young. My son was satisfied with pillow/bed comfort. Having own kitchen cover for the bed comfort and stairs :)
We been staying in the room with private kitchen what was great to have (kitchen is outdoors and has all necessary tools/pans/plates/etc). It was nice to take a carry out and relax after busy day while still staying outdoors. I wasn’t a big fan of swimming in ocean and pool at the hotel was a perfect option to cooldown and relax during most hot hours of the day. Check in was quick and owner made sure we like our room. She (and her staff) was very welcome and ready to answer on all questions. Great location in the center and very close to the beach. Breakfast was great. My son loved pancakes and I am fan of omelet. Rooms were clean and additional housekeeping was done during the stay. The only down point was a bed comfort and stairs to mezzanine where bed was, but it’s me as I am not young. My son was satisfied with pillow/bed comfort. Wi-Fi was good, no issues. They have routers within the property, make sure you connect to the closer one to your room. I got good price and quality met my expectations per that price. I will come back and will recommend to my friends.

FranceAs pointed out here by others, the furniture is run down and not particularly comfortable; rooms and bathrooms are small; no mosquito nets on windows in some rooms (while those are actually very relevant).
Very green - feels in the nature; nice decor; a wonderful swimming pool to enjoy before breakfast (we woke up early because of monkeys on trees around the hotel, and we made a bit of early noise with kids in the swimming pool but the owner was very gentle reminding us of an early hour…); a great coffee shop just next door; a good location; accommodating staff.

AustraliaAngelo the staff member was amazing, so helpful and helped practice our Spanish too with him. He made us feel so welcome. Really nice relaxing place, quiet and out of the way enough that we won’t be woken up at night, but still so close that we could walk to the supermarket next door and restaurants around. It was great! Breakfast options were good too :)
