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 reviewComfy beds, quiet hostel and close to the ferry.
Not much vibes when I was there, the shared toilet doors have huge gaps in them so people can peek in, but who cares really if you’re peeking into a toilet stall that’s your problem hahah.

Verified review- easily accessible via whatsapp - Location good - Bed comfortable - Air conditioning good - Kitchen in itself good, but unfortunately it closes in the evening and I could not cook the one morning then - Shower was fine
- Lamp by the bed does not work - free drinking water dispenser did not work and was not accessible at night - and empty during the day - No towel - One evening the electricity did not work. Very stupid as it was really unbearably hot then - but that was only for a few hours - unfortunately the other travelers were very loud at night. - but that's not the hostel's fault either

Verified reviewShort walk (3-5) min from the ferry and the grocery store, and about 10 min away from the beach. Strong wifi. Hammock in the room was very relaxing. Shared kitchenette had all the essentials for cooking. Clean facilities and friendly, responsive staff.
No natural lighting in the room and was a little dark; could have used an additional ceiling light or stronger bulbs. Mattress was starting to sag a little.

Verified reviewThe location of the apartment is literally 2 minutes away from the ferry station, 8mins walk to the beach and restaurants (the walking distance to the beach was a pleasant due to the streets view ) , good contact with the host , responding very quickly. Place is very clean and the interior looks nice! You can even find a hammock in the room :)! The part of the kitchen is very functional :)
neighbors who were making noise until 1:30 at night, unfortunately you could hear them in my room, of course it's not the owners' fault, but for some people it would be useful to have information about the silence at night

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. The hammock is a great touch and we didn't mind the lack of natural light as we needed shade from the sun and heat.
The kitchen never had fresh drying towels which were desperately needed!

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our time here. It has everything you need. The kitchen is fully equiped and it's close to everything you need. It was carnaval and though you are close to downtown it was still quiet at night. The host is very friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this place.

Verified reviewGreat budget choice! The room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this place!
Like others mentioned, it can be noisy (music and speakers). I used the ceiling fan for white noise and it worked just fine. There’s no outside window so no direct light. And yes the kitchen could sometimes be a little cleaner. It is my understanding that people use it and don’t clean after themselves.

Verified reviewMoises was very friendly and quick to reach. The aircon worked well, room was clean and the location is great, very close both to the ferries and beach/restaurant area.
The mattress was a bit saggy/worn on one side, most likely from peopple sitting on the edge of the bed. The room would benefit from from a new, slightly larger mattress.
