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 natural beauty of the place is so inviting and the food at their restaurant is very, very good. On their website they should notify that the bathrooms for each room are outside letrins BUT people are wlecome to use the restaurant's fully equipped W.C.
The main lobby area is due for an update. The furniture is worn out and it could be a more inviting space to hang out. The pool needs cleaning, not sure if they have a system in place.

Verified reviewThe Cabanas are lovely. Larger than I expected. The outdoor showers are beautiful. The water is lukewarm but it is hot outside so it's quite refreshing. From the balcony there is a small view of the sea, but it's a lovely vibe because you are Under The Canopy of the trees, listening to the birds and the waves crashing. The fan surprisingly keeps you cool at night when you are sleeping. Very friendly and lovely staff. The food and drinks are great. The pool is very relaxing.

Verified reviewThe view from the pool and the food!
The pool is really dirty but a lot, facilities are old they don’t give maintenance and don’t look like in the pictures at all. Consider that there is no A/C in the rooms and the toiles are “dry ones” not like a normal, out of the room and some of them far from this one.

Verified reviewGreat location right by playa Mermejita close to a very nice beach bar! Great view!
The place is overall dusty. The outside shower smelled like pee. Also the pool water didn’t seem clean and the float had some green algae stains.

Verified reviewAmazing spot on the edge of a beautiful beach. Great view of the sunset from the room and from the restaurant / bar. Very good breakfast and fun cocktails!
The room is very rustic which was fine and fitted the ‘beach shack’ vibe (toilet was outside and was a compost loo etc), but it was a bit of a surprise for a 4 star hotel. Check in was a bit messy (hard to find reception), and pool was a little dirty.

Verified reviewLovely sunsets and pool. Great staff. Food was a bit hit and miss.
The beach is not good for swimming and beach drops off to deep water in a short distance. Communication after booking was non-existent.

Verified reviewThe view from the pool and dining area was incredible, though not overly comfortable as far as being a place to relax and read a book. You won't find lounge chairs by the pool, only a couple of wooden benches and two chairs.
I was travelling solo and for some reason they gave me a room that had two floors, two bathrooms, 3 double beds and a kingsize bed. My room was in the back by the road and although it had a small outside seating area, the area had no view and just some rickety benches to sit on -- lots of leaves and bugs fall on you while you're sitting out there--not a big deal at all but for the price I was disappointed. And then there was the school, which was great to see as I'm a teacher; however, I was also on vacation and it was quite noisy. Definitely no afternoon naps. I requested a different room but they said they were unable to accommodate.
