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...).

United KingdomDespite the modern-feeling of the house, it's still in a tropical climate, thankfully it has three AC units. But we still saw occasional ants inside, and even a small lizard on the ceiling downstairs (though that was actually a bit of a treat). The house is overall in pretty good shape. The plumbing however could use some work :-) and the upstairs shower knob for example, just spin freely so it's hard at first to know in what position they were off). It's still an incredible amount of space you get though! I wish we found it sooner as we only came across it when desperate for one more night.
We were really impressed as it turned out to be an entire semi-detached house we got, Casa-Avi - the owner, Rotem, is on the other side of the wall and is very accommodating/responsive (we had a situation develop, and he worked tirelessly for over an hour despite having an injury to make things right).

United StatesConstantly encountered bugs in the bungalow, which perhaps could be expected since we're near tropical rainforest but not sure how they got in because the door was always closed.
Excellent location near some of the best restaurants and across the street from the beach, and unlike so many other places in town that require a hike up the hill to get there this is just a short, easy walk from the main road. Basic bungalows but have all you need including a fridge, small kitchen, AC and a pool.

CanadaThe beds varied in comfort, from okay to quite soft with a loud/squeaky bed frame.
Great location (just a few minutes to the closest surf spot and beach, set back enough from the road so that it was relatively quiet), the pool area was great, and loved the covered patio and hammock one each bungalow. Staff were nice an helpful.

New ZealandLots of bugs got into the room (7 ants in the toilet at one point!) which freaked our daughter out. The pool desperately needs the tiles regrouting or replacing as they are really sharp (we both cut our knees and our daughter cut her toe).
Great location, good sized room, very clean, comfortable beds. Great to have a kitchen and hammock chill area, swimming pool and manicured gardens a real bonus

AustraliaOur 2 bed apartment had no living/dining area. That area had become a bedroom. You could eat outside though.
Nice and comfortable apartments that are basic but well equipped. Really great to have a kitchen. Nice pool area. Very cute kittens! Very friendly and knowledgeable owners. We loved our stay here and would definitely return. The apartments are set back from the road which is nice as it makes it nice and quiet.

United KingdomIt could do with some TLC/redecoration: a lick of paint here and there, fresher curtains and bedding, small details like that but again, for the price, I wouldn't complain!
Location is GREAT! It's near a walking entrance to the beach (less than 10min walk), close to restaurants and supermarket. I dare to say it is impossible to find a better 'Value for money' in this area area Gorgeous gardens and nice pool area to cool down It might sound dumb but A/C is very good, which you can't say for all places

IsraelLet's start with the location – it's literally a 2-minute walk from the beach, right in the center of Santa Teresa, a simply perfect location! Moving on to the staff, Rotem and his team are available and helpful with any issue, taking care of every detail, offering advice on anything you need – just ask, and it's all done with a smile and impressive courtesy! The facilities themselves match the price level; there's a lovely pool that my kids didn't want to leave, the room is very comfortable, and there's a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. In short, a great place, highly recommended!
