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...).

GermanyLocation was a little out of town, so prepare for a hot walk in the sun to get to shops or the soda. Staff only spoke Spanish which may make it hard for others. Dorm room could use some renovation and privacy curtains.
The pool was really dreamy, nice hammocks to relax. Came for the bioluminiscence tour which was awesome! Due to the town being aside of the typical gringo trail, only one more girl slept in the dorm with me. Towel and soap provided.

United StatesThis place met my expectations. Restaurant menu could use a little work - the kids did not want to eat what was offered on the menu. A couple more towels available in the rooms would be helpful.
Cafe at location was easy and helpful. Staff were cheerful and helpful. Great Hostel the pool was a hit and rooms were comfortable. Love that some of the adventures could be arranged to meet our group needs right on site.

United StatesPillows and beds were a bit worn down and uncomfortable for our tastes.
The owners kindly greeted us, gave us a tour of the premesis, and made us feel at home. They set us up for a same day bioluminescent bay tour, which was the highlight of our stay, although the pool was a close second. A great location and value with AC taboot.

CanadaThe room was BOILING. We regret not getting the room with A/C. Also, on the last day, there was no water. Also, very uncomfortable pillows and no screen on the window so we could not open the window for some cool air. I also got a rash from the pool unfortunately.
The tour was amazing and magical. The guides were very knowledgeable and great.

CanadaBathroom sketchy. Not dirty but no toilet paper no hot water and the door held close with a bolt on a string. Dorm room option very basic and beds very close to each other. And $3USD extra to pay by credit card seems a bit excessive.
Cheap price for the room, nice location close to restaurants and bioluminescense tour options. Booked a dorm room but luckily had the whole room to myself.

NetherlandsI’d say the hostel is a great starting point for doing a tour and it offers you the basics of what you need. The power outlet near my bed didn’t work though but that’s a minor thing.
The room was spacious, had a en-suite bathroom, AC and the bed was big and great. Most importantly, the bioluminescent tour organised from out of the hostel was wonderful! It was amazing to kayak the ocean at night and experience the glowing water. Coco was a very nice and friendly guide and even back at the hostel he wasn’t shy of offering me a beer or two.

ItalyThe stairs look like they are about to fall apart due to the rust. The kitchen was very dirty, and the room smelt like mold. I also wouldn't recommend it to people travelling without a car as it's far away from everything and taxi prices are insane (12$ for 10 min drive)
The room was extremely clean, and the bed was very comfortable, the AC saved us from the heat!

Very nice clean room with great air conditioning. Awesome kitchen and living area. And the staff were lovely and very helpful despite my lack of Spanish! Good location, just on the edge of town centre. Felt very secure there with a locked door into the dorm rooms. There's a nice bakery next door too!
