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):
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.
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.).

United StatesTHe ONLY negative was have is bar/restaurant that is open from Wednesday to Saturday. Our first nights were quiet and restful and when the bar opened the noise kept us up later than we intended. Nothing dangerous, just noisier.
The place is GREAT, but the people were EXCEPTIONAL. Paola, Manuel and Francisco were the best hosts: Friendly, attentive, generous but un-intrusive. They made all of our stay fantastic and really can’t be praised enough. The Hostal itself is charming, perfectly located 10 seconds from the beach (just cross the road) and, with its walled courtyard, kind of an oasis. The communal kitchen is open-air and a great place to hang out in the hammocks. We had two rooms that were both great but with different vibes: the room with en-suite bathroom had great natural light and was really beautiful. The other room had a second bed in a loft space up a ladder. Our 7 year old was beyond thrilled and didn’t want to leave. The entire place is clean and well-maintained.

HungaryIt's a wood house, which is authentic, but lack of any sound isolating. All noises from street and neighbours are in your ears. For my first night, a kind but loud family stayed with two children in the next door, so I had a beautiful wake up at 5:50AM. The staff did the best to change the room. And one more thing: tha place could be much better with some more maintenance. Common kitchen is dirty, fridge is also,, there is a "bar" but no choice, restaurant offer just pizza on demand etc. It's a place with amazing conditions, there is a chance do do it better. The first step can be a basic english knowledge for the staff, because many of guests dont speak spanish. They have a time for it as I saw, there are free and useful learning applications.... 20 sentences, and 100 words can make the guests happy, believe me!
Nice place in at the best spot on the beach of Canoa, close to everything. The common areas and rooms are stylish with views to the ocean and garden. Staff is kind and helpful, and there is a common kitchen and fridge for your foods.

United StatesDogs barking through the night as well as the morning noise from the streets. All should be expected in this location of town.
Plenty of privacy in our room as well as lounging areas. Community access to an outdoor kitchen as well as refrigerator. The fan in our room was a very nice addition. The weather was very hot and humid and this fan made the night very comfortable.

SwitzerlandThe only separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom is the curtain, so the bathroom floor gets wet after you shower. Also, not the hotel's fault and probably a common issue in Canoa, but the street behind the hotel was a bit noisy, with several dogs barking and trucks passing by regularly.
Lovely structure right next to the beach. The room (we got a free upgrade to a 3-person room) was spacious and the shower had hot water. There are hammocks in the shared areas, as well as a kitchen and fridge that are free to use. The hotel manager was always available and very kind. We were also able to book surf lessons directly at the hotel. Great price/quality.
