Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I was accused from the manager from the housekeeping and the housekeeping of taking extra towels in front of my partner. Even though we explain that we just had one set of towels during the beginning of our stay. After the verification the staff apologized but they ruined they beginning of that day. We brought it up to the clerk to speak to the manager until this day still waiting for the manager.
The room and one of the staff members were great as the pool side bar

Ghetto-style hotel that is nowhere near 3-star rating. Neither is it in front of the beach as they say ("frente al mar"). I had a spectacular parking lot/ghetto house view from my room. Also, they allow other guests to throw parties and blast music without limits. I had to spend the entire night listening to loud music and drunk people screaming until 6 am. The room air conditioning is very weak and turns off when you leave the room, so it can never cool during the day. The shampoo they provided is so cheap that I regretted washing my hair with it. The "queen" bed is just 2 different beds placed side by side, of course each bed had a mattress of different firmness. Before check-in, someone asked me my arrival time, and I wrote 2 pm. Of course, when I got there, they said check-in started at 3 pm. At check out, we couldn't leave until they "revised" the room even though there is no TV and no minibar. Stay away from this ghetto hotel.

Not sure about the other rooms, but we got the Junior Suite, the bathtub had a leak that ended flooding the bathroom. Although the shower and rest of amenities worked perfectly fine. Now, the junior suites seemed to be facing the street and the sea view. The view was breathtaking but had a huge disadvantage, the noise from the cars in the runway was almost unbearable at night, we had terrible sleepless nights, then, at some point in the early mornings airplanes would land into the nearby airport and had us waking up like something was about to crash landing.
The staff was friendly. A couple of them are not as smiley but never rude though. We enjoyed the location since it was close to the beach, and that they let us use the hotel's swimming pool and common areas even after the checkout. The place was very clean, the cleaning team does an amazing job.
