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 reviewConfortable bed. Walking distance to the beach.
Bathroom in the room has no door, the tv control remote did not work, the noise from the restaurant below was heard from the room. There was no parking lot for the hotel guests, there are some parking spaces outside by the sidewalk, but shared with the restaurant.

Verified reviewThe hotel has perfect location with a path to the beach, and easy walking down the street to the rest of town. The restaurant inside was amazing as well, and was available whenever you needed a drink or something to eat. The staff at the front desk were so friendly despite our language barrier, and showed us around as we checked in so we knew where to go and how to operate the lights in the hotel. They provided soap and shampoo, and the AC was great!

Verified reviewNo A/c at checkin so west facing room was unbearable, refrigerator unplugged at check in and so unusable. Intermittent working lighting on stairs so unsafe. No hot water so only cold showers. Loud thumping music until 2am. Staff blamed us for hot room saying we checked in late at 4 pm when checkin started at 2pm…how this impacts the temperature is anyone’s guess.

Verified reviewThe cleaners on the other hand work very hard and are very kind. I think there is a difference in level of service between the cleaners and the management of the hotel. We would recommend the restaurant of the hotel for sure!
The stay is this hotel was oke. My girlfriend and I booked the street view room #9 for 3 nights. When we tried to open the door, the key of the door broke, and inside the appartment the door to the bathroom was partially broken. We were forced to change rooms and moved to another more luxier room and had to pay $100 extra for this room. We were not very happy with the extra payment but it was not negociable. The luxier room was much better than the room we had before.

we booked 3 nights and left after 2 nights. loud obnoxious music pumped out by the restaurant underneath our room starting at noon and continuing non-stop until 10PM - ruining sitting on the balcony. Broken coffee maker replaced by yet another broken coffee maker. someone knocked on the door twice at night. Top of staircase a hazard missing a wall and railing plus the hall lights often didn't work. had to use the light on the iphone.

Verified reviewThe room and terrace on the ground floor are accessible from the bar and also from the beach. The area is not always guarded by responsible staff. We met a girl who had money stolen from her room. Consider another floor or be careful of things left in the room.
