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.).

PortugalVery loud at night (you could hear the music in a beach bar nearby as if it was in your room).
Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast place right in front of the hotel.

SwedenThe sea view is great but as you can see on the photos that outdoor areas are not private - people pass there. The beach is not good for swimming cause of the rocks. For the beach I recommend to walk further or take a 10-min taxi / Uber to Punta Uva beach. In our room No 9 a mosquito net was broken in the bathroom - it was a disaster with mosquitos in the night. Wifi is spotty yet works fine in the kitchen / close to the reception.
We stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms - double with sea view and disability access room - what was available for our dates. Rooms are clean, with fine beds, proper bathrooms, hot water, safe boxes. Fridges in rooms and beach towels at the reception are very appreciated. The photos on booking.com are accurate, some of outdoor furniture has been upgraded. There is also a shared terrace with a little kitchen - microwave, tools and dishes, coffee pot, several tables with the sea view - nice and convenient. Double Room-Disability Access is right behind the kitchen terrace, so I'd say it has a limited sea view via the kitchen. This room is bigger than a double room with the sea view. It has it's own outdoor seating area, too. All in all we liked it better. The hotel crew is very kind and helpful. The hotel was quiet, the main activity happened in the morning at the coffee pot.

South AfricaVery much in need of a change of matrice which had seen better days. The pillows were also too high (but that may just be that we like a flat pillow). Other than that I would definitely recommend the hotel.
Loved the garden/sea view. We got to see sloths 3 days in a row (once there was one on the top of the kitchenet cupboard. The bathroom facilities were very good as was the services to the room. The staff were the very best part of Yucca... fabulous! The location is the very best. in the hub of things but outside the noise factor.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like!
We stayed in 2 different rooms at this hotel because we liked it so much we extended our stay. Both rooms were amazing, very clean, very comfortable, large, with great bathrooms. One room opened up onto the seafront with its own hammock outside the door, the other opened out to a covered area with small kitchen and tables. Both rooms were quiet and peaceful with beds with good mattresses. The staff were kind and helpful. Opposite the hotel was the best cafe/bistro in the town where we enjoyed brilliant breakfasts. The location was perfect.

Perfect location on the edge of the busiest area, but any easy walk to everything. The rooms had a small patio that faced the ocean, where you could listen to the waves rolling in. The communal kitchen was a bonus.

Costa RicaThey did not have wash cloths. The room came with one bed, I thought it came with two. (But that was consumer error.)
I liked that Playa Puerto Viejo was in walking distance and within a few feet of my bedroom. The location was near multiple restaurants and in downtown Puerto Viejo. The room was a good size for two people, the shower was beautiful! The AC worked wonderfully. There were free beach towels as well. It was like a Haven compared to sleeping in a Cabin.

Pleasant easygoing owner Ms Mariam, we had to leave before daybreak and our car was blocked in the tight hotel parking, Mariam solved the situation for us sometime past midnight. Excellently situated, direct beach access, rocky, no easy swimming though. Barely two minutes walk to vivid Puerto Viejo bars and restos.
