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...).

SloveniaThe bathroom could be a bit nicer. It was a bit noisy in the evenings but if you want peace and quiet, don't go to Palomino in the first place. :)
Excellent staff, excellent pool, location is very very close to the beach. We had almost the whole hotel to ourselves which was great.

CanadaThe walls are so thin you can hear your neighbour's conversations, either above or on either side of your room. Some mosquitos get through the door and screens, but it's not so bad. No more than a couple bites per night. The bed wasn't that comfortable
The pool area was quite relaxing and the staff super helpful and friendly. The bedroom layout worked great and we appreciated having a table and chairs just outside the room, as well as a guardrail to dry our bathing suits. The restaurant was good enough for us to go twice, in addition to breakfast.

AustraliaMissing a few kitchen items, such as spoons and a lighter for the stove. Not much of a social hostel as mostly guests were couples or families. The sockets in the room were not close to the beds
I had a great and comfortable stay at Primaluna hostel. The staff was very nice and attentive, the location was right on the main road and it was close to the beach. The swimming pool was a life saver as it was super hot and the beach is not inviting at all. The dorm was clean and spacious, with a clean bathroom and mosquito nets in every bed. No air conditioning but lots of fans so it didn't feel hot in the dorm. They also have a kitchen where you can cook your meals

NetherlandsInternet could be better
The attention of the staff is just amazing. Upon checking in I was offered a different dorm that was still empty rather than moving me into the dorm I had booked that was almost full. They make sure you feel super welcome at any time. The place is very very clean (dorm, public bathrooms, public kitchen, pool restaurant etc.) The area is quiet at night, but feels very safe due to night guard. Breakfast is great, you get to choose one of four dishes from the menu of which one would be able to order vegan (fruit salad+granola) all the rest possible veggie (try the local breakfast)!

CuraçaoThe beds are really uncomfortable: hard and just painful to sleep on for a couple of days. We were staying in a deluxe room but even there the beds were not great.
Nice atmosphere, relaxed, green, clean, the pool area js nice. Relatively quiet. Location is great, near the beach in the street where most of the restaurants/bars are.

United KingdomThe only 2 negatives: - the dorm was extremely hot. Fans are provided but the rotation didn’t work on any of them meaning the air didn’t actually circulate over any of the beds - there is definitely more of a family feel here with children frequently in the pool, at the pool table etc so it’s a little harder to meet other travellers here
Lovely hostel, spotlessly clean with a great size pool. Top quality food at reasonable prices and decent breakfast included in the room rate. Spacious dorms with plenty of storage space for bags and lockers for each guest. Super friendly staff and a good range of tour/excursion options from the reception desk. Great location 2 mins from the beach and right on the main strip of restaurants.
