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 property is in the middle of renovations and is seriously upgraded from what it was a couple years ago. they have the main reception and restaurant done and about a third of the rooms near the pool. I wandered back into the area they are still working on. when it is done it will be quite nice. as is the section that they have open is nice and a bargain at least for now. 2 blocks to beach access. it dosent come with breakfast which is what we wanted because the best pastry shop on the north coast is half a block away, belgium bakery plus it has air conditioning
It would have been nice if they had a parking lot. If you are taking a taxi from the airport and want to be able to walk to restaurants and the beach without haveing to deal with dominican traffic this is perfect.
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the areas that are already renovated, our location just two blocks from the beach, and the convenience of nearby restaurants and the Belgium Bakery. We appreciate your understanding regarding the ongoing renovations—our team is working hard to upgrade the remaining rooms and facilities so that all areas will offer the same comfort and quality soon. Regarding parking, we understand it would be more convenient, and we do offer secure parking just in front of the hotel to help our guests enjoy their stay without worrying about traffic. Your feedback is very valuable, and we hope to welcome you again to enjoy the fully upgraded property soon! 🌴✨

Verified reviewThe room was like the pictures, very nice pool and location, super close to the main restaurants and the beach, gyms and a bank to withdraw money.
The room could have been cleaner, unfortunately there was only slightly warm water and not hot water when you have showers, and there was no curtain on the shower and the bathroom gets completely wet. This might be only missing in our room.

Verified reviewThe Kaoba has been totally renovated. The former owner sold the hotel to some people who now really care about the facilities and the service. The difference is very noticeable. The rooms are now cleaner, total change of the rooms, the bathrooms and the pool area. The staff very attentive and also renovated. And the same price continues. I will definitely be back.
