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.).

Sofa bed very uncomfortable. Electric plugs (most) were not working. Gas scape so when finished cooking we kept closing hose to avoid danger and bad smell of gas

The refrigerator could be bigger with a freezer that fits more than just ice trays.

Verified reviewVery clean, outdated kitchen facilities, big and comfortable bed, strong aircon, and fan. Spacious bathroom. Quiet at night, good night sleep and walking to the beach, which is lovely.
Clogged toilet which we had to ask the staff to repair 3 times over two days. I am sorry but this is not okay considering the staff was there... Barely having warm water, broken shower, no mosquitoes nets, no night lamps for reading.. the photos are not fair, the space that appears by the pool is actually parking space, so if you’d like to hang in the pool, you are basically facing either tires or the back wall from the hotel next door. There are only 4 sun beds. No umbrella outside the house (only two apartments have it in reality) which makes it hard to enjoy the outdoor table during day time because of the sun. The pans and pots are so used and old that are not useful at all.. The only hotel we’ve had in DR that didnt provide water to refill the bottles nor water at check in.

Verified reviewIt's a lovely apartment near the beach, very comfortable. It was clean, the bedding was freshly washed and smelled really nice. I had a lovely night sleep.
One day there was no electricity nor water, nearly a full day. We understood that it happens, but total lack of care from the side of the people in charge made us cut the stay short. We felt abandoned and left to ourself.

Verified reviewLocation is good, 2 minutes walking from the beach and the people that do the maintenance are super nice and attentive. The pool is nice and always clean.
Communication with the host is abysmal, they simply dont answer. The villa doesn’t have back up power and we spent a whole day with no electricity which meant no water, no toilet, no cooking. It was horrible. The kitchen lacked utensils and cutlery for the group, the oven didnt work (when we tried to use it it sounded like an explosion), the furniture is old and broken. They didnt leave any soap, or trash bags or anything basic. Its a 10/10 on location but definitely needs improvement and back up power- the hosts didn’t offer any compensation or solution

Verified reviewVery spacious! Good hot water and pressure in the upstairs shower. Located on a quieter and cleaner section of Las Terrenas beach. Nice property manager on site. Two pools.
Ants in the kitchen… ALL sliding doors do not close or lock properly and gaps allow small bugs and mosquitoes to get inside… There are metal gates over all doors, making the room feel like your own big jail cell… For a period of time there was ZERO running water, but was eventually fixed… There is a large TV but there is no service, also no TV remote control… Tried messaging the property host but no reply…
