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...).

CanadaThe staff, the hotel, the room, the garden and especially the restaurant. We loved Plata Negra beach, as well. We liked it all! Highly recommended stay at this modern newly renovated hotel! The food is exquisite, and all the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a nice pool and an even nicer garden. We would like to return and stay longer at this hotel.

ColombiaParking can be limited, especially when the restaurant is full, but this isn't a major issue as the area is secure.
I spent three days with my family at this hotel for my birthday, and it was a remarkable experience. The staff, especially Juan Carlos, the chef, Pascal, Rosemary, Alex, etc, made it extraordinary. Juan Carlos prepared some of the most exquisite dishes I've ever tasted, including an amazing Ceviche, along with superb fish and beef dishes. The birthday chocolate cake for me was the best I've tried – perfectly balanced in sweetness and taste. We appreciated their accommodating our late-night arrival after work. The hotel staff was consistently helpful and attentive to our comfort. The hotel's location is ideal, being near Playa Negra, an uncrowded beautiful beach with white sand and clear water during low tide in the morning. Additionally, it's just an hour's drive from Conchal Beach, one of Costa Rica's most famous and beautiful beaches, and an hour and a half from Catalinas, Danta, and Dantita beaches. I highly recommend this place for its exceptional service and the splendid Playa Negra.

United Arab EmiratesThe walls of the rooms are too thin so you can hear all the noise outside and from the other rooms. The air-conditioning made very loud noise when it was on so we had to turned it off
Room was comfortable, bathroom was spacious and clean. The pool area is nice and the food in the restaurant very good too. Location is good, quite close to the entrance of Playa Negra

United StatesOur room did not have air conditioning. It did not say either way when we booked. zOur toilet seat was broken. The lock on the door was hard to open because it looked the door knob and was messed up. The fan would only go on low so we didn't really sleep because we were too hot.
Breakfast was fabulous and delicious. The hotel was beautiful. The staff and all the food was great. The rooms were so cute and well designed.

BrazilNot much since everything was fine really ! Just to mention that the location is a bit remote, so not many options in terms of food / restaurant. Bathroom a bit smelly
Newly renovated hotel with modern design, very nice rooms (although smaller than anticipated) and lovely pool.Overall a very comfy atmosphere. Very good restaurant and yummy breakfast (included in room rate). Very nice staff - especially Alex for the communication before checking in and Yami who took care of us during our stay. Thank you so much for your kindness !!

IcelandThe rooms were extremely small—there was so little space that it was difficult to move around the suitcases. The woman who cleaned the rooms during our stay was very skilled at her job, but the dust from the road (which runs right outside the hotel) made the sofas and other guest areas quite dusty. The garden isn’t a particularly inviting place to spend time in. Otherwise, we felt reasonably okay at the hotel, but it was far too expensive considering the lack of quality.
There are definitely some positive things to say about the place. The staff, for example, were very kind, the restaurant was absolutely fantastic, there was a yoga studio right next to the hotel, and there was live music one of the evenings.

United KingdomThe room is super small and staying in room 1 it didn’t feel very private. The only option was to have the blinds down all day so the guests cant see into your room. It just seemed a bit expensive for what it was.
Restaurant was awesome such amazing food and lovely staff, nice touches in the room.
