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 breakfast was good if you went down early, lots of fresh fruit, donuts and pastries, variety of breads and cheeses. The hotel is close to the beach, lovely walk in the morning, never crowded or loud, very peaceful and relaxing.
For breakfast - yogurt selection could have been better, only 1 flavor available most days, the cooked food was not great, bacon fried within an inch of its life, sausages wrinkly and unappetizing. Dinner was not good at all, the food at Gaspar was very underwhelming, either tasteless or over salted, the staff, though lovely, were quite slow, we witnessed many tables waiting far too long for service which seemed to be due to a lack of staff. Being that after a long day at the beach you don't always want to walk back to the beach for dinner this restaurant needs to be better, many nights there was no one there and I'm sure it was due to the level of food and service. Chiringuito was the same, lack lustre food, pasta swimming in sauce, over salty, understaffed. Embarcadero - beautiful setting, great attentive staff, food was much better, especially the sushi which we only tried on the last day sadly, next time!
Thank you very much for your review! We appreciate the time you took to share your experience and for the recommendations! We definitily take not to improve the experience of our guests. Hopefully, we will be welcoming you back very soon!

Verified reviewThe hotel is lovely. We had a spacious junior suite. We were two female travelers. They made up the sofa bed for us. The king bed was very comfortable. They had top of the line toiletries, L'Occitane. All staff were helpful and friendly. We ate on the beach two days. Staff was accommodating.

Verified reviewThe property is beautiful and relaxing. The staff is welcoming and responsive to our needs and requests.
This is my 4th time staying at Casa Hemingway. Unfortunately this 4th time did not meet my expectations based on my previous stays. They did not mop our 2 bedroom 2 bathroom suite floors. They did not replace my towels, however when requested they did bring them to the room. The 2 bedroom suite’s microwave was not working. The cleaning staff did not clean the coffee maker on our first day. The one bedroom suite’s bedroom television was not working. The property had more mosquitoes than at any other previous stay. While there I only got to take one warm shower. The shower temperature control in the fist bathroom did not get warm. In the second bathroom the temperature of the shower switched between cold and hot while showering and in the one bedroom suite’s bathroom one had to jiggle and play with the handle in order to get hot water. One had to know the trick. I usually do not write bad reviews but because I love staying at this property I hope they take my constructive criticism and fix the issues. It’s my favorite place to stay when I have to travel to Santo Domingo. I will definitely try Casa Hemingway one more time and hope that the issues on this current visit were just an unfortunate exception. Oh also, when the electricity blackout happened, their power plant was not working. This is the first time I experience this anywhere in a DR hotel/resort.

Verified reviewI really like how nice the staff were and how beautiful the property is. You feel very safe. It’s a great place for families to enjoy a stay in the Dominican Republic.
I feel the rooms/suite could have been a bit cleaner. I also did not enjoy the food. The only food we recommend is the breakfast (which is included with your stay) and the restaurant, La Terraza (located at Playa Hemingway tower). For the most part the food at the other restaurants were undercooked and just didn’t taste good.
Thank you very much for your review. We will be reviewing these comments with our team to improve our service and experience for our dear guests! We appreciate you took the time to share your experience with us!
