Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesI didn’t have good hot water, and the shower drain very well, but maybe that’s why they call it ecological.

United StatesNot the fault of the property, but there was quite a bit of trash washing onto the beach in the tide... really sad to see. Of the property itself, only that the rooms were near the street instead of the beach. Otherwise everything was great!
The staff at this hosteria was so friendly and helpful, first and foremost. The animals staying on the grounds were such an awesome bonus! Location right on the water was great, but the rooms are located closer to the street and we couldn't hear the waves at night. Still, rooms were very clean, air conditioned, and had everything we need for a short stay.

United StatesThey only accept cash (no credit cards), and they require half of the room payment upfront as a deposit. After a little bit of texting back and forth we were able to pay the deposit through an app. This place is so nice though, it was totally worth the small inconvenience.
The hotel is situated in a tiny private jungle right on the water. The grounds are full of interesting plants and free roaming tortoises, peacocks, monkeys and more. Wander around and find your perfect spot for reading or socializing. There is a concrete staircase that leads down to a small sandy beach. The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast and also a menu for lunch ($10). The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were very kind and helpful.

IrelandThe surrounding area is not great and the access roads
It is like staying in a zoo with animals freely walking around the property, a true ecological oasis. Fiorella and her team were super friendly. Fiorella even arranged a courier to send some items we left behind onto our next destination.

CanadaThe road getting there was a total mud pit from the recent rain so it was pretty messy getting to the property, and the roosters crowing at 5AM were a little annoying, but everything else more than made up for this!
Everything! We loved this little gem on the ocean - it is so quirky and unique but comfortable and clean with wonderful accommodating staff and an extra special tropical setting close to the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the rescued animals throughout the property and the owners doggo’s were especially sweet.

Hong KongThe beach near the hotel and neighborhood were not great. But we drove to a really nice beach in Salinas our second day. The beach by the hotel was ok but when the tide is in, it disappears.
It was like staying at a zoo with great ocean views and interesting animals. I loved the monkeys and peacocks. The owner suggested a great place to eat on the beach and the kids played on the shore while we had drinks and waited for our food.
