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 reviewGreat accommodation! Very clean, well equiped, and very comfortable beds. Located in a quiet street, but still close to the city center. The hosts Richard and Erwin were great! Always ready to help you with anything you needed, and always down for some fun chats. We spent our Sunday with Richard strolling along the local markets. Highly recommend!
Nothing!

Once in a while, you get a score which leaves our excellent staff with a frown. Most important to know for you as our future guest, is that if you desire an apartment with a good working space, just contact us, and we will make it happen for you. We have more than 1 apartment. This apartment certainly has a table attached to the apartment next to the front door. You can enjoy your meals outside, in front of the apartment, by the swimming pool. This guest booked for 2 weeks but shortened the project which he came for. We kindly adjusted the reservation with no cancelation fee. And after a day or two, decided to quit his project definitely. The airport where the project had to be done was too far for everyday commuting. Nothing to do with us or our service and good vibes.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent - just 15 mins walk from 't Vat... which is the centre of Paramaribo night life. Our family of four made Max' Pool & Garden the base for our holiday in Suriname, checking in and out on four different ooccassions over a two week period. We experienced three different accomodation types - 2x 2 bed apartments, just beside the pool; a beautiful 3 bed first floor apartment with amazing balcony space in villa opposite the main building and a ground floor 3 bed villa (accomodates 9 people - ideally for families with young children) again with outdoor space and best bathroom facilities. Our favourite was the first floor apartment because of the amazing balcony which was so cool in the heat of the day. All accomodation had fully equipped kitchens and there was constant hot water in the bathrooms. We were able to have our clothes laundered during our stay and the hospitality shown by Erwin and Kamela was superior.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, the pool was awesome and the apartment was very clean. The air-conditioning and hot and cold water worked very well. Our Host Erwin was very helpful and Ms Kamla, the housekeeper was so pleasant and did all she could to assist us.
I didn't like that there was no complimentary drinking water, not even a small bottle to start off with. There was no extractor fan in the toilet and no table salt and pepper.

Verified reviewRichard is an attentive and extremely helpful host. He even went out and bought a toaster when we asked for one! The pool is a welcome escape from the heat and the location is in a very safe neighbourhood close to restaurants and a small supermarket a stone throws away.
Wifi was present but weak but that is true of Surinam in general where signal is mostly 3G.

Verified reviewHad a great stay here while in Paramaribo. Richard, the property owner, arranged a taxi driver who was waiting for us at the airport despite our late-night arrival. We arrived to the hotel around 3 am, and were happy to find Erwin waiting for us. He let us in and we were able to sort out other formalities next day when the owner arrived. It is a 15 min walk to the city center with several restaurants and food stores along the way. We stayed both in a cozy house with a big balcony and in the ground-floor appartment. Both places were clean and fully equiped with everything one might need. They even had a small library and some games to play. WiFi was strong in both houses. Richard was very friendly, knowledgeable, and light-spirited. Have I mentioned that he can organize multi-day tours to the interior and guide you there. We also liked his restaurant recommendations.

Verified reviewlovely charming house where you have the top floor all by yourself. This includes three bedrooms, kitchen/living room, toilet and shower. The best part is the veranda where you can chill in the breeze. House is very clean, hosts nice and flexible. Swimming pool is right across the small street (10 m walk) . Small shop at 20 m , waterfront 10 min walk.
nothing, we already went back excellent value , charming house with lovely garden
