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.).

GuatemalaWe didn't have access to the internet in our room. To use the internet, we had to go to the reception area. Since we were traveling and making plans, it would be helpful to have internet in the rooms.
The beach access is excellent. In Monterrico the surf is quite dangerous, but in Bocabarra it is very nice. Good for children or adults. The staff is helpful.

United StatesThe only thing for me was that there were not enough A/C units within the villa on the first floor there was only one for the entire first floor and it was in the room and it was not working properly. They attempted to fix it but kept malfunctioning throughout the night and was not keeping cold and it was extremely humid and hot on the first floor and hallways. Not sure but all the water running through the house and pools was salty not sure if they were using ocean water but there was no point of showering coming out of the pools or coming from the beach.
We were able to upgrade and were prioritize once we arrive and we also were able to check in and utilize the amenities while we waited and it was not a long wait for us to get the Villa we upgraded to.

United StatesThe hotel's restaurant (Habaneros) is your only real option, due to the remote location. Somewhat expensive, but the food is good. The cocktail drinks are hit or miss. The lewd, sexually suggestive reggaeton music in Spanish they play on weekends by the main pool is loud. Great for a party hostel, I guess, but not suitable for a family hotel.
The best hotel option in El Hawaii. Great pools and friendly staff. Pet friendly, which is a huge plus. The beach is manageable, unlike the dangerous Monterrico Beach a few kilometers up the road. Lots of activities (kayaking, surfing, horseback rides, atv rides, etc).

United StatesIt was a long drive, the place was in construction when we arrived, I've made my reservation ahead of time through booking.com, I've submitted my kids ages, and everything was fine and I was given a price in the website, once we were there, and they saw all my kids they insinuated that there were gonna be an extra charge because for the hotel my kids were considered adults., obviously I wasn't happy with that plus the room that was assigned to us wasn't what I was expecting, so I had to pay for an upgrade.
The food was really good and the staff was friendly.

United StatesEverything is a little outdated. When we got into our villa, half of the doors/windows either couldn't be closed or couldn't be opened. One of the toilets' flush didn't work. They worked hard to make everything better, but we still spent the whole stay with our bedroom french door open. It is clearly not as luxurious as it looks on the pictures. The swimming pools are great but there are alot of tiles missing and some mold under the edges. Depending on where your room is located, you might have to cross the street to reach the beach.
Beds were the most comfortable we had in our whole trip. Staff was really nice. Food and drinks were really good. It is right on the beach, which is clean and very nice.

NetherlandsThis stay was a major disappointment after saving for our summer holidays in Monterrico. Mold in the bedroom, water leakage from the AC, and a pervasive musty smell pose a clear health risk. Smelly towels. A bedroom window on the first floor was dangerously hanging outward, secured only by a mosquito net. Stray animals and dog waste around the property, including near beach suites.Broken tiles (pool, kitchen), damaged pool railings, and visible disrepair throughout.
Staff at the restaurant very helpful and friendly

United StatesIt took about 5 hours to get there by car from the capital city and had to go over 87 speed bumps. There’s nothing within walking distance like a convenience store, gas station, restaurant, supermarket, etc. Mobile signal is very weak and hotel wi-fi sometimes works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Hotel staff was very nice. Clean beach. Tasty food at hotel restaurant. Many pools. Really nice room with kitchen, sofa.

Place was affordable. Pools were nice, even though it was raining. Brian the boat drive was the best staff person hands down.
