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 reviewIt was maybe a half mile to the beach and close to alot of restaurants.
This hotel is old and dirty. The exterior is a mess and the night desk guy sleeping on the couch in the entrance wasn't a good look for the place. The first night the water was turned off in the middle of the night. When it was turned back on there was no hot water. No hot water the next day either. I should have done more research before booking a stay here.

There is no pool on site. The first room we got smelled of weed. They gave us a new room thankfully. There is no parking on site either.

Cleanliness was quite bad, had an issue with AC which wouldn't work properly, internet connection was very poor, at times had to come to reception to connect. No elevator and too many stairs to climb up and down with baggage.

Location is on the busy and loud strip, blasting music when trying to sleep. The photos don't match the property- there is no pool.

Verified reviewPlease update the pictures you have online. Those are very old and it does not reflect the reality of this place. There is no much light in the room, no TV as apparently the cable service was down (which I doubt is the excuse to not install a proper service) The bed linen was very old and most of them with holes in it. In general the room looked very old and not well cared by the new owners. There is no swimming pool. You need to ride a car for either 5 or 10 min to get to a private club that has a lot of restrictions. It has a Casino inside of the hotel and it brings a lot of undesired people inside of the hotel with not much of a security person at the entrance.

Verified reviewThe location was nice, can be loud. The breakfast was delicious but needed to start earlier than 7:30, we couldn’t go to breakfast before leaving. Needs to start at least by 6-6:30 and extended to 10.
The sheets didn’t seem very clean and towels very old, No hot water, the handles didn’t work and you couldn’t figure out which was the hot or cold. TV didn’t work. The air conditioning froze up every night and was loud. Our refrigerator didn’t work but they did get us a new one but that one wasn’t very cold. The front desk person when we came to book the room was very nice but spoke no English at all, so couldn’t answer any questions. Place needs some money into it, for up keep.

Verified reviewAbsolutely nothing
False advertising. No Wifi or TV. Bathroom sink plugged, shower was disgusting.No service. Bad views. Fridge was dirty and handle broken. Didn’t know there was a pool as no one showed us one. When we arrived a kid was working front desk that didn’t speak English. Didn’t help with our bags. Gave us I key. We were told breakfast was included and go across the street for it. It wasn’t free. Asked owner for money back, she said she would if Booking.com would. I contacted Booking.com that said I had to get it from the hotel. No reimbursement!! Even agreed to pay the fees and for one night stay. No answer from either. Guessing I will get nothing back.

Verified reviewThe location was good for the beach and restaurants in town and we enjoyed the pool and the beach club that they permitted one to use when booking this hotel, they at least were up to expectations. Unfortunately they were a long way from the hotel and quite impractical to get to unless you had a car which luckily we did.
The advert for this hotel was deceptive and I regret not looking at the reviews on Trip advisor which would have alerted me. The rooms where dark and dingy and did not appear to have been decorated for over 20 years. The shower barely trickled tepid water and the noise from motorcycles on the road outside was very loud and obtrusive at all hours. The safe combination mechanism didn't work so they had to provide the master key. There was a coffee machine in the entrance that did not work. There were 2 electrical sockets by the bed and one of those didn't work. One of the only 2 low wattage lights in the room was plugged into that socket so they had to provide an adaptor so that we could charge our devices. The breakfast was very poor quality with the same sad looking scrambled eggs and hot dogs every day and a plate of old and blemished market reject fruit. The corridor leading to the breakfast room was a disgrace, it doubled as a staff smoking area so there were a couple of old stools and table and cigarette buts on the floor. The WIFI router was secured to the banister rail with cable ties I would rate it as a 2 star hotel at best and at $180 per night it was not cheap (which added to the feeling of disappointment). Either some serious money should be spent to update this hotel or the price should reflect the quality. We stayed at a far nicer hotel in El Tamarindo for $100 per night so £ 80 to £90 would have been a fairer price for this place.

There was dirty, not a good smell, there was no staff in the reception when we get to the hotel, but the worst part was that everything is not well maintained. Air conditioning was not working well, the TV was nor working. There is no pool in the hotel, it is far away from it.
