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...).

CanadaIt would be nice if there was a mini fridge in the room. It would also be nice to have a kettle, in the morning you could grab a tea by the pool at night I had to walk through the restaurant to get them to make me a tea and it cost $3 American. Iam Canadian so it actually Cost me almost $5 for a camomile tea plus the inconvenience and awkwardness.
Breakfast was good. The location was also good.

Playa Guiones is a gorgeous beach and the hotel facilities and access are beautiful, giving a sense of ease and peace of mind. The staff goes above and beyond with service and professionalism, not to mention kindness. Joelle especially 👍 Thank you 🙏 We had everything we needed for comfort and what we didn’t have, we asked for and they did their utmost best to provide. Will definitely stay again if I have the chance!

Netherlands-the surf school felt a little bit overpriced, classes only with videos for 130$ (not really needed if you know your issues already) when in town a respectable school would charge $80
- helpful staff (especially the reception lady) - jungle room with outdoors showers - design and decor - morning coffee and cake - great coffee truck

United StatesLack of amenities for a luxury hotel really stood out as a negative for us. Rooms are small for the price, which could be fine if there were other complimentary benefits, such as free breakfast, free exercise classes, etc. to make up for that. There were never enough lounge chairs in the pool area for us to nab a spot, and guests swarmed around the coffee area in the mornings to try to catch a cup and possibly a piece of banana bread (which was delicious) before they ran out. Although the restaurant was always well-staffed, it felt like service and support for hotel guests was lacking. Towards the end of our stay, the pool smelled of algae, which was off putting. Construction next door and smells of sewage were prominent on many days, which prompted us to leave the hotel grounds when we might otherwise have relaxed on site. Overall, just not the experience we expected nor was it consistent with other small, luxury boutique hotels that we've stayed at around the world.
The two highlights of our stay at Sendero were the hotel restaurant (evening bar staff in particular) and the hotel's proximity to the beach.
