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 reviewComfortable beds in charming, well appointed cabins. the room was lovely. The location is relatively close to the beach, but the roads are a bit rough.
The shower pressure was weak and the kitchenette is more of a camp kitchen. I'd call this stay a fantastic glamping stay.
Muchas gracias. Saludos.

Verified reviewThe owner is easy to work wtih. He understands english but doesn't speak it although he doesn't offer this info, The best thing about this property is one does not have to secure with a credit card upfront. The other property closer to Paraiso (cozy something ) requires a credit card and charged me a close to a full day deposit when I had to cancel the day before a few weeks ago.
one of the beds has plug-ins near the head of the bed. This bed gets the most use and needs a new mattress. Sitting on it one can feel a deep sag in the middle. The other bed which we used has no electrical plug-ins by it so not real functional. The lighting is inadequate. Two big bulbs up high right over the entry door. That's it. This is a cabin like structure in the back woods of Avellanes. So one must keep that in mind. But the walls are just one piece of wood, so one can hear your neighbors in the next cabin 8 feet away. Finally, the password to the wifi is excessively long

Verified reviewVery friendly host, took care of all of our needs. A very nice pool. Grounds kept nice anc clearn. Other people complained about the road, but it wasn't really as bad as people make out. It is a somewhat washed out dirt road, but you can get there easily in a regular car. (Hint: If you approach from the south, from the beach, it is a bit easier.)
The room was a bit dark. The kitchen was sparse in utensils.

The only one thing that I was unaware of was the lack of hot/warm water.

Verified reviewThe place is really nice, quiet and pretty in the middle of nature. I read some comments that you need a 4x4 to get there but we had a normal car and it was totally fine. Road is ok :).
Pool was not really clean. Bedside lamps would be enjoyable.

Verified reviewNice outdoor kitchen and pool area. Very quiet and secluded as only 3 rooms/huts available. Very comfortable king size beds
A bit off the beaten path and a rough road to get there. But the beach is a beautiful spot and about a 15 min drive

Verified reviewThis place is definitely to rest and recharge. The A.C. in the room was awesome and the beds out of this world; king size and super comfy. The pool is also refreshing and Daniela the girl that tour us the place is very sweet. However, if you are looking for luxury and resort like activities, this is not the place for you, but for people that are looking for a place to be in peace and comfortable this is it.
If we had a car with higher clearance, the road would not have been an issue, but since I went with a regular car I struggled with the conditions of the roads to get to the place. It is only like 2kms in which the road is terrrible, but the potholes are bad. I would not even consider going there during rainy season, it will definitely destroy your car.
