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...).

The location was good, by the water. The room was good, the window facing ocean. The staff was very nice. The management was gracious enough not to charge us one night that we couldn't be there because we missed our flight due to the weather in Cusco.

AustraliaNeed to be clearer that this is a nightclub with a hotel attached, and NOT a hotel with a nightclub attached. Pumping music until 10pm EVERY NIGHT. Also day guest get priority over seating around pool than those actually staying there.
Clean, tidy and funky little place. Breakfast and the pool were good.

United StatesWe do just wish it had a nice view of a beach. We are used to the Caribbean so it was an adjustment but still nice value. Some of the door structures inside rooms looks a bit worn.
We did like that it was an intimate setting. Not too many guests, the food was good. The property was very clean and the drinks were great. The customer service was amazing also. Everyone was really nice

Beautiful spot and lots of lively people to enjoy the day with. Couple nights was perfect as the party goes all day, but is perfect since they shut down the music at a decent hour.

Heavy rain made it hard to judge as these places are designed for hot weather. Staff worked hard and did well in terms of service. Bed was super comfortable.

ColombiaI liked the room, but I feel that it was short on amenities like a hairdryer and a bigger mirror. The bigger mirrors are outside, which made it a little uncomfortable when deciding what I wanted to wear.
I loved that I was able to look out and jump into the sea without too many people surrounding me. The vibe is amazing, and the staff is super nice and helpful. We got to hang out by the deck, get a tan, and cool off in the ocean. It is a peaceful and sweet place to have a relaxing time. Also no so far from downtown. We did not walk much around, but it seems like it is a great place to walk . 😀
