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 reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Cabinas Carol! The surfing beach is 2 minutes away and there is a small supermarket where you can get everything you need. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance where you can enjoy local food. The Cabinas managers are really nice and you can always contact them if you have any question. The vibe is very relaxed and some local vendors come by to sell fruit, coconuts or other things. We especially liked the outdoor kitchen and the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
The equipment is very simple and a bit old, but it is completely sufficient. It would be nice if the yoga area got some love again.

Verified reviewThis is the place to stay in Pavones! Almost everyone who arrived extended their stay: the staff are super, the location is a spacious jungle-style garden full of hammocks and visiting wildlife of every kind (monkeys, red macaws, toucans!). The cabins are a step from the surf and local supermarket: the internet is strong: the rooms were well-cared for and clean: the vibe, mellow. It was very hard to leave!
very happy with all

Verified reviewRight in the middle of Pavones. Communal kitchen with designated fridge and pantry space. All the kitchen equipment you would need. Kind people.
All good. It’s kind of like a surf hostel but you get your own room and we had a/c.

Verified reviewunbeatable location, most kind and helpful staff, and quiet clean accommodations. Perfect for surfers who want to be close to the break and everything else in town without driving everywhere. Will be back again!
Wish there were hooks for towels in the bathroom, and also at least room cleaning / change of fresh towels once during our 4-day stay. With all the surfing and jungling we did, inevitably there was quite a lot of sand in the room by the time we checked out. Also, during wet season there's a lot of humidity so towels don't dry that quickly. Thankfully we brought our own but -- some constructive feedback for the Cabinas staff -- would be great to have at least a room clean once every 2-3 days to make the Cabinas Carol even better experience.

Verified reviewGreat gardens that made the units seem secluded. I love the outdoor shower. Huge communal kitchen, each unit gets its own shelf in a fridge (a very nice touch). Surfboards are available for rent onsite, and it's only a short walk to the beach.

Verified reviewI liked that this room's entrance was a bit more private. The room had air conditioning, which was a plus at night. I really like that the shared kitchen has fridges with designated shelves for the various rooms so you know which shelf is only yours.
The shared kitchen can be a bit crowded at certain times of the day and I feel uncomfortable being in there when others are there, but that's just me.
