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 StatesThe name of the hotel was changed and nowhere to be found on the property, which led to missing it and the streets are very narrow, thus had to do a loop and finally after asking we found it. The spa couldn't be turned on by the available staff and it was a bit chilly; thus couldn't really enjoy the outdoors as much as I would've liked.
I liked the view, the proximity of the beach and the beds were comfortable.

United StatesThe property is showing some age and is not in top-notch condition. The grass was dead, pool needed cleaning (which I did see happen the next day, by the way), railings were weathered, and room was pretty simple. The sliding door to the balcony was a little hard to operate. But I'm being critical so your expectations are appropriate. This is a 2-star room at a 3-star hotel in a 4-star location. If you go with modest expectations, I think you'll be very pleased.
We could not have been happier with this last-minute find. We were just looking for one night somewhere near a decent beach for a modest rate...and Dunama came up. We had pretty low expectations and were blown away by the gorgeous elevated 180 degree ocean view from the lobby. The indoor/outdoor lobby, bar, breakfast, pool area was great. Music was playing, and it was very festive. The deck, gazeebo, and private beach access were all very picturesque. And, the hot breakfast the next morning was fantastic! Eggs, sausage, fresh fruid, breads, juices, coffee...very nice. As well, the walk over to the beach at Playa Flamingo was short, as was the walk to the marina and shopping nearby. So much to like.

United StatesThere is one umbrella for the pool, so more umbrellas would be nice. The rooms are very basic. It is my understanding they are being updated. No decor or photos in room. No USB outlets, only a few plugs not placed well. We had two queens, the night stand in middle had no plugs near it only on the far side of beds. Our friends had a queen pool view no night stand or dresser. We had deluxe ocean view so had one night stand a very small but adequate dresser. No safe, 5 hangers. We asked for soap refills never got them so went and bought a bar of soap. All that said the value was outstanding and we were never in the room. We booked last minute and this is what was available. Would love to go back in a couple years and see how they have improved the rooms.
Breakfast was good. It was the same thing every day, but good. The location of the dining area is beautiful. The view was fantastic. The people who work at the resort are outstanding. They made the stay. The pool area is nice, the bar and restaurant as well, not fancy but comfortable. The kudos of this hotel go to the staff. They remember names, drinks you like, room number...very friendly, You could walk into the town where there were a few nice restaurants. Flamingo Beachh nearby is one of the best beaches I have every been too.

NetherlandsRooms are outdated, the terrace and the room itself are missing the chairs, hence couldn’t use the terrace at all (seems only the rooms with the pool view have the lounge chairs). Cleaning could have been better (dirty coffee mugs, dirty shower glass, etc.), there is a coffee machine in the room, however, you have to buy the coffee cups at the reception. Despite this, the bed is comfortable. If the rooms were refurbished, I would give this hotel a ten.
- Location is amazing - Views are stunning - Big territory with the “private” beach - Proximity to the Flamingo beach

However there were eggs and fruit and good coffee.
beautiful property- especially bar and dining area incredible ocean view clean but simple rooms lots of cosy and super comfortable outdoor seating around the pool and under cosy huts looking out over the ocean.
