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...).

United KingdomOur bedroom looked onto the main road so we had fumes come through our window and super noisy cars and people talking loudly on the street. Thankfully our (silicone) ear plugs did the job!
Good sized room, super friendly and very helpful staff and free parking. Very close to the adobe rental car drop off and within walking distance to old centre with restaurants and bars. Brekkie was included, they cooked me separate eggs which I appreciated as I can’t eat pork. Thank you!!

Costa RicaThe ceiling in our bathroom could use some attention.
The staff were exceptional. They were very helpful and dog friendly even for our big 104-pound LGD. The location is excellent and walkable to a number of restaurants, grocery stores, and doctors. Breakfast was freshly prepared, and coffee was always available. The game area/dining area outdoors is a nice touch.

ItalyThe room is next to the kitchen, so I could hear people talking, making food, and the odour, especially early in the morning when they are making breakfasts for the guests.
This time around, I stayed in the deluxe room. Nice and big room with lots of light. The double bed is very comfortable. The hostel is 15 min taxi ride from the el caribe bus terminal and 45 min from the airport. There are coffee shops, supermarkets and banks in walking distance. Free water dispenser

United KingdomSome of the bunkbeds do not have curtains all around. There is no door to the bathroom area which meant there was light and noise during the evening/night when people were using the adjoining bathrooms.

ItalyVery uncomfortable mattress and pillows. The windows of the room face the road so very loud.
The female dorm was perfect as only 3 other women stayed there, but if all 10 beds were taken, I think it was going to be crowded, loud, and messy. The location is 40 min from the airport and 15 min to the caribe terminal by taxi and 10 min walk to a small shopping centre, restaurants and supermarkets. Breakfast is simple but good The patio is nice The staff is always very helpful

United StatesWindows had no screens. Bugs were no problem. Hot shower water was gone by 8:30pm. Little things: Bathroom could use a small shelf for toiletries, a long towel bar, and a robe hook.
The city location was free of delivery trucks and had few noisy motorcycles. One block walk to a small shopping center with a variety of food resources, including Fresh Mart. Clean, comfortable, with most of the basic amenities, and traditional CR breakfast. Best night sleep I've had in a while.
