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.).

CanadaNo washing machine. The pool is small and there was road construction out front of the hotel every day. Rental owner should work out a price deal with the national park for tourists staying multiple days as there is no way you should pay a daily park entrance fee just to use a beach.
Property is as shown in pics and clean.

The room was clean and there was enough space and the kitchen had everything we needed. Not far from the National Park.

PhilippinesThese are not necessarily the fault of the apartment, but worth noting: the road in front of the apartment is very bad (the whole stretch actually, not just the one directly in front of the apartment), there are very few Uber drivers around, and it's a long walk to get to the main highway. The TVs are in the bedrooms (where I don't want them), not in the living room (where I want them). During my time there was an issue with the IPTV account so I didn't really get to use their TV, and I used my laptop instead, and watched from the living room.
Very spacious apartment with modern facilities and design. There's a small pool that I used practically everyday during my stay. Marino Ballena National Park is about 6 minutes away on foot. Along the way to the park, there are a couple of restaurants, as well as a mini supermarket for basic things. There were not a lot of tourists during my stay and I was practically the only guest in the complex, so it was a great respite from the hustle and bustle of travel.

NetherlandsLocated at walking distance from Ballena National Park (where the beach is). Condos are gated and feel very private. They are very spacious, super clean and comfortable. A/C provided in both bedrooms. Private parking behind the gate is included. Exceptional customer service! Our flight was canceled and rebooked two days later. Even though we pre-booked the apartment, the staff/owner was very understanding and adjusted the booking to save us paying for those two nights. I have never experienced such a great customer service! Response via the app chat was very quickly everytime. All in all a great place to stay, would definitely recommend it!

I think it is new construction. It is simple elegance and so practical. It’s beautiful and pristine. It has a kitchen with everything you need to cook, even a rice cooker. There is a pretty pool too. It is on the edge of this small town and very quiet. So worth the price.

United KingdomThe bowls and plates etc in the apartment were not clean and had someone else's food residue on there. This meant we had to check each item before using it and clean them. Tea, coffee, oil, salt etc (the basics) are not included which you would expect with the price and with it being an apart-hotel as these are included in most places. There wasn't even a dish sponge to wash the dishes so we had to use a cloth instead (maybe why the previous guest hadn't been able to wash the dishes properly too).
Beautiful apartment with lovely surroundings that were well maintained. The apartment was really spacious and had lovely modern facilities. The pool area was also kept really clean. The apartment is just a short walk to the national park and bars and restaurants. The staff were friendly and we were able to check in slightly earlier as our room was ready which was a bonus.
