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.).

FranceOne of the only hostel in curaçao with international standards. Very clean, feels like a hotel. Was in a room for two and does not even feel like it. The only down side is that when they gave me the key there was a person in the room already and had to change. Just did not like the fact that they let me handle the situation (bring back the first key, transferring tons of luggage without help..) for a mistake I was not responsible of

ColombiaThe cocktail prices at the bar are a bit too high. The hostel breakfast is indeed too repetitive. Everyday: milk, coffee, toast and butter, cheese. If you're lucky, some jam, and that's it. However, we expected that, and there is a minimarket in the hotel were you can buy something additional (they have pastries, fruit, etc), which is a nice option. There's no stove at the kitchen, which limits cooking options if that's your plan. Even though the facilities are great, it's true that they can feel a bit empty, which is weird. The only lively place in the whole hotel was the bar and the pool beside it. The other pools were almost always empty, even if the hotel was supposed to be fully booked. The bar at the other pool was never open, so that could be a reason. And even though they had darts, pool table, petanque, etc. We never saw anyone using them, and in part I think is because there was no staff around to ask to, there was no music and the bar was closed. So maybe that could be improved.
The facilities are really nice, multiple pools, the beach pool by the bar is really nice. Nice clean room. Nice decoration, cool facades, interesting story of the place and the neighborhood. Very close to the city center. Food at the restaurant was decent. We saw in other reviews they didn't serve food at the restaurant after breakfast, but that wasn't the case, they did have a few options for dinner and lunch. Nothing too fancy, but pretty ok and at decent prices. They also have a minimarket open during the day.

This place is truly bizarre. On the paper it is perfect and with the facilities they it should be one of the hot spots in curacao. However you get a weird vibe staying there, lights in common areas are really dark and for a hostel you see no one and there is a weird vibe. How could it be with so many jakuzzis and beach areas available and even a bar? It feels like they have seen better days and management needs to redo a few minor things and they can be a having easy reviews up to 9-10 at booking.com. Local staff was very friendly.

RomaniaThe cleaning ladies were talking very loud every morning, you could hear from the room 😅 the showers and the fridges could be cleaned with more dedication. The kitchen doesn't have a cooking stove, so you cannot really prepare food. Just a microwave and a boiling pot. But for me this was not a big deal.
As a budget traveler I find Ritz the most affordable, close to Punda and Otrananda (the bus terminals) from here you can take the bus to go to at least 5, 6 public beaches. The room was super clean, the bedsheets are all white, towels as well, cleaned professionally. The bathrooms and kitchens are a bit old, but cleaned daily (just people leave trash and don't clean after themselves). The staff is very friendly and attentive. The bar, restaurant and pool are amazing! You get a welcome drink at the check in. I loved everything about this place, I don't understand why it has such a low score on booking. I repeat, the room was clean, with 2 beds, perfect to rest ( this was the most important to me). Also they have a mini market ( pricey but just in case you need something quick). And I think they can prepare a small breakfast there as well. Overall satisfied, great value!!

Netherlands- dirty!!! - Loads of insects in the room, when we went to the reception to discuss a solution the lady told us it was “normal” - the room smelled SO BAD. The last night we couldn’t take it anymore and just slept with the door open (because there aren’t rooms where you can open the windows by the way) - if you want breakfast after 9AM there is no food anymore to be found, probably not enough for all the guests

FinlandOur first and the last time booking a hostel. The pictures didn’t match up with the reality… when booking this we didn’t expect the toilets and the shower to be in the other side of the hostel which made us very uncomfortable since I myself am a small petite woman and there were other people as well. The whole hostel smelled like mold and you could see the damage on the floors walls and ceiling. At night I was freezing cause the blanket we had was just a bottom sheet. We tried to upgrade to the hotel since it looked like there were around 4 rooms available for the rest of our stay at booking.com but at the reception they said no. Well we stayed there for 2 days and left to a fantastic hotel! (Which by the way was actually cheaper than the hostel) The breakfast was not a real breakfast and I think they shouldn’t advertise it like that but it was something to get your day started. The staff were a bit rude except for the lady that checked us in. -Points to her! Also they gave us dirty towels and the whole place was full of mosquitoes and other bugs.
The beach/pool was amazing and the lady who checked us in was nice! It felt good to have security at the entrance.
