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 reviewFrom the minute we set foot in this Hotel we were immediately greeted and checked in. Service to our room was prompt and the facilities were extremely clean. We had breakfast every morning of our stay at the hotel restaurant. The servers were extremely attentive and nice! All of the hotel employees we encountered greeted us and made us feel welcomed. I am SO GLAD this hotel popped up on my search when booking our vacation. The location was perfect. Walking distance to stores/restaurants. Might I add the BEACH access and the workers that help set you up on the Beach! I did NOT want to leave this place !! The hotel pool was perfect too!! Even the Pool Bar! Gosh I miss those Pina Coladas!!!!

Verified reviewJust as described- European charm with simplicity and class. Family friendly hotel. Staff were so kind and helpful. Other guest very pleasant. Police officer/security made us feel safe (mother daughter alone). Restaurant, pool and cabana very nice. We loved the walking path and the beach. Will return-great location.
Didn’t go into the water because of seaweed.

Verified reviewOverall I thought our stay here was really nice. Great pool, a gym with plenty of options, location was unbeatable. Spacious and comfy room. Good wifi for video calls. Fantastic AC
Some features are outdated, little rough around the edges in the room, and would have preferred a stand in shower. But I would stay here again for the combination of value and comfort.

Verified reviewThe bed is really comfortable.
This hotel is so well located ,the main reason was that it was a beachfront but I couldn’t enjoy the ocean at all because it was full of algae and pretty smelly . Nothing to do against nature. But overall , this hotel is so outdated . Floors and rooms are smelly , had it light up a scented candle every day to disguise the odor . The hotel has no life inside . The gym is located in the lower lobby which is was kinda creepy sensation that area there . Needless to say how old are all of the equipment and so secluded, no view , no inspiring . You can tell everything that is not working at that placed because it looks abandoned. The staff is pretty nice though. I got a previous room that was super uncomfortable for me , including their king size bed doesn’t looks like king size , more like queen and they gave a different one with a better distribution, still a small bed not what I paid for . At the end when I was checking out , I noticed they were charging me for a meal I never had and it took for ever to do the new bill

Verified reviewThis is a nice clean hotel, and the silence contributes to a good night's sleep. The reception staff is professional. Maria is especially hospitable and has always solved all our problems. Her assistant Dante is also very friendly. We had a good rest and regained our strength.

Verified reviewBeach/pool were lovely- provided chairs/towels. Walking distance to Bal Harbor shops/restaurants/grocery store/starbucks.
Construction next door - ruined pool/relaxing time. They really should offer that as a disclaimer at booking. Reserved/paid for king balcony room, was given first floor double with kitchen and big closets. Didn’t need/want any of those things, so it was wasted. No one cared to make our stay better or fix the mistake. Outdated rooms, but somewhat reasonably priced. Also, roads were closed due to fires, so we couldn’t even make it the first night that we paid for. No one cared to look into refund or anything to make up for it between hotel or booking.com. Disappointing.

Verified reviewThe room was nice and spacious, and the view was fenomenal. The hotel felt a little bit outdated, and in need of a renvation, but it was still a pleasant experience and this was just a minor thing. We would recommend this stay.
