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 reviewThe condo was very well equipped, very clean, and the beds were super comfy. The rooms have blackout curtains, which makes it easier with the jet lag! The surfspot is just in front, and the yard is very well maintained. It's nice to have a pool ,especially with kids ! I can only recommend highly, and we're definitely coming back !!!

Verified reviewThe best location in Pavones as the surf break is literally out the front door across the beautiful green grass just beyond the awesome 25m pool.
The outdoor lounge chairs by the pool could have been more comfortable. There could have been a few more available.
Dear Candace, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and our convenient location so close to the best surf spot.

Verified reviewExcellent high quality accommodation, location and grounds with very friendly staff in all of the premises. - right at the point (1 min from the beach and surf spot) - sunset side - very nice pool - very safe place - high quality apartment - good kitchen, plenty of towels, soap/shampoo available Exclusive atmosphere in spite of 8 units being close together.
- AC in one of the bedrooms did not work. Partial refund was rejected by property. We did not want to switch apartments to the ground floor, instead we oversaw craftsmen for all of our last day who came to exchange the AC. Something guests should not be doing. - Terrace fan did not work - Dishwasher lost water In a luxury accommodation (claim of the property itself and mostly true), such amenities should be checked regularly and fixed/replaced. This should not need to be discovered by the customer.
Dear Rodewald Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our high-quality accommodation, prime location, friendly staff, and the overall exclusive atmosphere of our property. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the AC, terrace fan, and dishwasher. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we regret that these inconveniences impacted your stay. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with maintenance during your vacation, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We have taken your feedback seriously and have already implemented more stringent checks to ensure all amenities are in perfect working order before our guests arrive. Please rest assured that your experience is not reflective of our usual standards, and we are committed to making necessary improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a flawless stay. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.
