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.).

Best hosting ever, the owner is super kind and available to help. The quality/price rate for the accomodation is super high: the bed is super comfortable, the shower works perfectly, the location is great! Definitely a the best solution in Macao for an authentic Dominican Republic experience of kindness, if not interested in super fancy resorts.

Few things could be improved: -maybe small table or shelves to put some stuff -only cold shower -depending on the room, others can look into it from the stairs
The location is great, near the main road, not far away to Macao Beach. 30 seconds to a nice restaurant. The owner is superfriendly and welcoming, he makes you feel right at home. There is a terrace with a kitchen and fridge and sitting area right at his house. Parking is easy right in front and for free. The WiFi works fast. The house is clean and quiet.

I made a mistake I think by asking to switch rooms. Tilson kindly agreed to my request to find a room with a view (where after checking later booking.com clearly showed the room I'd chosen and paid for didn't have one). However the new room had a lot of problems that I won't go into here. I felt I'd already put him to enough trouble with the new room so didn't push the idea of moving back to the original room. In hindsight though it was a big mistake to switch. Lesson learned! The best aspect of this property is kind Mr. Tilson and his charming family. The coffee also was first rate!

I preferred taking a motoconcho better than walking through town each time.
I had a wonderful time here:) The staff here help you with your whole travel itinerary. They help you avoid price gouging on tours and motoconchos, etc., it was so helpful. The beach here is fabulous, and Jorge and Angelica were incredible hosts.

Amazing value. For a very cheap price we got a nice room, AC, private bathroom, kitchen, drinking water and a super great breakfast with juices and coffee etc. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay. Easily best place we’ve stayed in our (so far) two month backpacking trip in the Caribbean. ~8 minute walk to the famous Macao beach. 30 second walk to a very nice and cheap restaurant.

In the area is not so much to do except of the beautiful beach. Without a car it‘s probably not easy to get there. We really loved this place, but we didn’t like that all rooms, except of two rooms, don‘t have windows. Only AC.
Staff was very lovely and kind. Breakfast delicious. Very clean. 8 mins to walk to a impressive blue and deserted beach. We loved the restaurant in the corner. Cheap and very good. Generell the area is remote, no loud traffic etc.

The AC is very cold and nice. The breakfast was really good. The coffee was fresh brewed, and there were 3 types of fruits, eggs, bread and cheese. Juices and water also.
Jorge was very friendly and accommodating. We rode bikes there and he put them in locked storage for us, which wasn't really necessary but made us feel happy. He makes you feel very welcome and comfortable, I didn't speak much Spanish, so he tried a little English, and we had fun just trying to understand each other.
