Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

BrazilNot at all a negative point, but definitely rent a car, as everything in the island is far away.
The hotel is very confortable, nice bed, good room space. Bathroom with good shower and amenities. Very clean and employees checked on us everyday to see if we needed something. Breakfast was also a plus, but the best was the beach close to the hotel (1 min walk, day use included, as well as chairs), which was one of the prettiest/charming in the island. The beach structure (bar/restaurants/service) was definitely the best. The hotel is in a central position in the island, making every beach a 30 min car ride, which might seem much, but is actually quite nice. Really recommend this hotel.

United StatesCould have used better lighting in room - dark without having curtains open. Would have liked better choices for watching TV. Food at restaurant was just OK for price.
Luxury feel to the hotel. Short walk to a great beach, nice good sized room, friendly helpful staff. Hotel had nice pool, good parking, restaurant, welcome reception. Good location on island for visiting other parts, close to airport and supermarket. Highly recommend.

NetherlandsOverall, the hotel met all our expectations. Just a small note about the restaurant downstairs—it has a limited menu and can be pricey for longer stays, so you might want to explore other nearby dining options.
We absolutely loved the hotel, especially its location just a 2-minute walk from Blue Bay Beach. Our room was cozy with a very comfortable bed. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe and atmosphere of the hotel made our stay truly enjoyable. While we did experience a few issues with the bathroom, they were resolved quickly, and as a thoughtful gesture, the hotel offered us a complimentary breakfast the next morning, which we greatly appreciated!

CanadaCan't really think of anything.
This was our first trip to Curacao. The Bayside Boutique Hotel is both elegant and comfortable, a tranquil retreat ideally situated at the bay and beach. Loved the ability to snorkel directly from shore. The pool, while small, was a refreshing break. No problem securing chaise lounges. The staff are excellent, in particular Melissa and Janna, along with Imelda, who cooked several of our delicious complimentary breakfasts (we'd met at the Bonaire Airport enroute to our stay at Bayside). All of our needs were met quickly, professionally and sincerely. The generous welcome basket was a wonderful surprise. Glad we had a rental car, which is needed to reach the resort and for island exploration. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in our Sunset Suite (appreciated having a living room, separate bedroom, kitchen and balcony with a narrow sea view and sunset views). We are looking to return next year.

United StatesThere was nothing we did not like about the property.
It was a beautiful boutique hotel within walking distance to Blue Bay Beach and staff were very accommodating specially when they found out that the restaurant we were having my birthday dinner does not accept any baked cakes other than an affiliated bakery, they made sure they sang “Happy Birthday” for me with the cake we ordered from a local bakery.

CanadaMost communication is provided through whats app. I do not always use my phone during my holiday. A pass was required to enter the beach and on several occasions I came to the beach without my phone.
The Bayside Boutique Hotel is all about the location. Blue Bay is exquisite as a location. The water is an extraordinary blue. The staff are very helpful and the service is prompt and responsive.

United StatesThe shower water was a bit cold, it would have been nice to have warmer water. Also, the king size bed consisted of two matresses with quite a gap in between, which was not always that comfortable.
The staff, the location, the amenities, the food at the restaurant, the whole experience provided by Team Bayside was excellent. It was also great to have free access to Blue Bay Beach during our entire stay.

United StatesFood at the hotel is a little pricey and there are better options nearby. De Visserij is highly recommended nearby. That would be my only complaint.
Location here is awesome. Hotel is a 1 minute walk to the best beach I have ever been to. Calm protected cove with rock jetties on two sides, which makes for great snorkeling. Bonus dive shop right on the beach, shore diving right off the beach, The Blue wall and the Garden are excellent dive sites, with healthy coral and variety and quantity of marine life is outstanding. Also we loved the little courtyard on the beach for pizza and Ice cream, a nightly ritual. Staff is friendly and attentive, they were great. I love this place and I hope to be back.

NetherlandsSunset view was amazing, however we thought we could see more sea, we only saw a ‘corner’, not really a big problem tho. Maybe a little too expensive for what you get, especially for longer stays, however every now and then it’s not that bad.
It was big, clean, two huge tv’s, great wifi for work, the workers are really nice, restaurant is great. L
