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):
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.
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.).

BrazilThere were cockroaches in my room. The food showed on booking photos doesn't exist. All photos presented in the booking passed for a huge photoshop. So, the poorest hotel I have stayed in my life. Extremely dirty with a a manhole smelling!! I didn't take any pictures because I quit on my first day (1/5).

SpainVery rundown and dated, not faithful to the pictures on booking. A bit smelly everywhere. There were like 50 teenage kids on a camp or something which was a bit awkward. Random cats and dogs from the street coming into the restaurant. Buses parked with engines on in front of the hotel all morning, so instead of a beautiful view of the ocean, all you see and hear and smell are these gigantic buses parked.
The pool is ok, there is everything onsite (food snack drinks) and the beach across the street has great waves to surf or watch the surf. The staff was quite nice and helpful generally.

Costa RicaThe room was small, the bed was awful for the back, incredibly hard. The sheets had some unknown stains. The room had a small jacuzzi and it was dirty with sand. The towels were really small regardless their function (pool or shower). There were people eating inside the pool and there was no one asking them to leave the area. In addition there was a couple having extremely sexual dynamics in the pool where there were kids near them. Also, there was a couple in the common area touching each other sexually.
The beach in front of the hotel is beautiful and the security is 24/7

Costa RicaThe rooms, the bathrooms are not clean, the mirrors of the room are in a very bad condition. also, the beds are not comfy at all. There’s a lot of light coming from the outside into the room at night,
It is beachfront so the location is nice. The pool and the place to chill is nice.

United StatesWhat I didn't like: the safe and telephone were not working. The beach towels were not beach towels: old, Clorox stained and tough. Also you have a limit to the time you watch TV; during the night a message appeared saying that in 20 seconds the TV will be off, and it happened lololol. The most interesting part was that every morning I would hear the mices through the wall. And the door is glass, so if the curtains were opened and someone passes by.. you know the rest. The hotel location is great if you like the silence and wake up to the sound of waves. BUT is a bit run down and needs to be modernized. The railings need to be up tighten up or replaced, if you lean they would shift to the front. Let's say the pictures are deceiving.
The hotel staff is Great. It starts from the moment you enter to the guys at the restaurant to the maintenance.

IrelandThe hotel and rooms are old and not very clean. the staff is not polite and unprofessional.
The property is outdated, everything is so old and you can barely sleep, as both doors and walls are so thin and do not isolate any sound. The staff was also unprofessional and did not accommodate us well. Would not recommend this hotel.

Our room was super clean, and the beds were so comfy. Nice hot shower. Pool was great. Buffet breakfast was always fresh, and the portions generous. As it’s a little out of the way, we were extremely grateful that the food at the restaurant was so good. Beach was beautiful, and sunsets breathtaking.

Switzerlandeverything was really bad 1. There are a lot of suspicious people walking around at the hotel late in the evening; one of them was trying to sell drugs to me. We did not feel safe. 2. The hotel is super loud: dogs of other hotel guests barked at night and made it impossible to sleep. Drunk people in the hallway were extremely loud. Also, one of them mistakenly tried to enter our room. 3. We didn’t have hot water in our room which I have reported already on our first day. Nothing was done. 4. We only had one towel for 2 people. 5. I have contacted the manager several times via emails, no reaction at all. The receptionists are absolutely useless and cannot help you with anything. They also seem to be annoyed when approaching them and prefer rather to chill with their phones. We left the hotel after the first night despite the total booking of 2 nights.
