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 hotel was nice and well-maintained. The room was spacious, with a good bathroom, making for a comfortable stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding to the positive experience. The location was pretty good—close to restaurants and shops, which made it convenient for dining and exploring the area. Everything was also clean and well-kept, making it a solid choice for a stay
The only downside was that our room faced the street, so it was a little noisy at times.
Dear Guillermo Glad to hear you had a comfortable stay! It’s great that the hotel was well-maintained and conveniently located. The street noise sounds like a minor drawback, but overall, it seems like a solid choice. Thanks for sharing your experience! Best regards Mekala

Spacious rooms, very large bathroom, very clean with daily services, plentiful breakfast, amazing staff, excellent location - central but very quiet, peaceful vibe. I absolutely loved this place and I am on the picky side ;)

Verified reviewLocation is perfect. Beach is a 1 minute walk and the best surf break in the area is directly out front. Walk easily to loads of restaurants and shops. Catch a tuk tuk or bus right in the hotels driveway. Room is spacious and has a big balcony. Air conditioning and ceiling fan made for excellently cool sleeps each night. Breakfast is was delicious and plenty of food each morning. The staff went above and beyond to make sure the stay was comfortable throughout. Arranged airport pick up, helped with all logistics to get around the area and always kept the hotel looking immaculate. I ended up getting injured my first day here, and the owner was extremely helpful in getting me to the local hospital to be taken care of. Absolutely top notch customer service. All that being said, our 3 night stay was extended to 6…
No complaints.

Verified reviewOwner of this place was very nice to us. He helped us in different situations ( laundry, money exchange, ordering a taxi). Every morning there was a delicious breakfast, so we were never hungry. As for the rooms, they always were clean and fresh. So this hotel is highly recommended by us.

Verified reviewThe service was top-notch, everyone is working hard. The house manager/ owner is always at the desk and ready to help. Location is not even a minute walk to the beach where the main surfing is. Road and beach side are both surrounded by shops and restaurants. We both enjoyed our stay!!
The only downfall I would say was the sea view room. Since there are properties in front and the building is not that high, you don't really get to have a beautiful view. But it's still ok, I was able to see the waves from our balcony. 😅
