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...).

SwitzerlandShower outside the pool was not working so we could not take off the sand from the beach before entering the swimming pool nor our rooms. There was NO hot water in one of the two rooms we took. Staff could not explain the reason for it. That same room (located in the ground floor) was much less comfortable than the other one we got on the floor just above. It was a very dark room, with no windows, the only daylight came from the glass front door, hence exposing the whole room to outsiders. The bathroom of that room needs restructuring. There’s no table or any time of space to place personal toiletries. The bathroom had an awful smell of rotten, probably due to some previous water infiltration. This was pointed out to the staff who seemed surprised but did not come to check it out.
Breakfast was ok, enough variety and acceptable quality. Staff was friendly. Location of the hotel is optimal, right in front of the beach.

United StatesA couple of cockroaches in our room. Lights didn't all work so the room was dark. Air conditioning leaked so we had to move our clothes rail forward so our clothes didn't get wet. One of the floor boards in our room was broken, we moved a mat ov er it so we didn't cut our feet.
Location is close to town and on the beach. Staff are friendly. Board games available to play. Breakfast is provided.

Costa RicaI would recomment that they should have television in the room, and a garbage collector as well...beside let the people know that the parking lot it is not inside the property...it is in front of the place...however they indicated that they have a person to take care of the cars during the night.
The place was in front of the beach...everything was nearby.

Costa RicaMy fault for not reading closely, but I was surprised to find no tv in the room. My room was quite small. Hot water in the shower was hit or miss. There's a bar really close next door with live bands on the weekends, and you're not going to sleep until they finish. No problem if you're staying up late. The music was good.
This is a "budget hotel" kind of situation. If you're looking for something right on the beach because you're going to spend most of your time on the beach, it's perfect for you. The staff is laid back and friendly, you can buy snacks and booze pretty much 24/7. The pool is nice. Bonus if you're with friends or family, there's a large stock of board games and other diversions. Strong internet. Good breakfast buffet. Dominical is very small, but know that this is about as far away as you can get from "town center." Come here for the beach right in front of you. The walk from town center at night is really dark.

United StatesThe ceiling fan began to make noise in the middle of the night. Would've been nice to have a simple ice bucket like many hotels have, as the area was humid and we drank so much water.
The location is excellent. The breakfast is excellent, truly excellent. Best pineapple I've ever had. The cooler in the lobby with Powerade, Pepsi, water, and beer was a life saver. The cat in the lobby was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The WiFi was good.
