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...).

AustriaThis hotel is really a gem in Santa Teresa. We stayed there for an additional night and it was the best decision we made if this wouldn’t have been our last stop on this trip we might as well have never left. We stayed in the Bardot Lodge which has a private pool with a spacious terrace and a small outdoorkitchen. The view is just breathtaking, imagine waking up with the view of the ocean right in front of your bed. We had a huge shower, seperate toilet and everything we could or couldn’t imagine beforehand. Didn’t try the breaktfast unfortunately as we bought fruits and granola at the supermarket to spend as much time as possible in our private paradise. Yes the street going up the hill is steep but you can’t have that view and be so near to the ocean at the same time if its not a steep climb. With the car if takes one minute to go up and we also walked it which is also fine. (Just one straight climb no need for a 4WD (we had one but didn’t use the option to go up there) Also Alexia is really a gem welcoming you and you feel home immediately. We‘ll definitely come back.

SpainThere’s nothing I didn’t like, it was my dream property.
One of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at, it contributed to us having the most magical trip. The decoration, the views, friendly responsive staff that helped us book every time we needed something and gave tips and answered all our questions instantly. The villa is so well equipped, you don’t want to go out to eat when you have that kitchen. The whole place was like waking up inside of the cover of an interior magazine. The outdoor shower and pool with views to the ocean, the way the doors opened all the way into the most stunning views. It felt so spacious, so calm and secluded yet you were close to everything, perfectly located according to me. I just can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was so easy and enjoyable. I wanted to cry when we had to leave.I will definitely stay again next time I’m in Santa Teresa.

PolandYou cannot do anything without the car. The property is on a very steep hill and walking down or up this hill is not for everyone.

United StatesNo fridge in room. No ice machine. And the biggest issue is the absolute incredible hill you have to tackle to get in and out of there. Need to mention that you need to rent ATV if you’re there for >2days, or rent 4x4 or be incredible athlete. It’s a 40 deg grade I’d guess.
Beautiful modern room. Great deck. Large shower. Very friendly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

SwitzerlandThe access is tricky, you must have a 4x4 car to make it to the top and go down also, but we knew it in advance and it wasnt a problem
Beautiful place, great and spacious room with a beautiful view to the ocean and the jungle. The breakfast was great, staff very kind and helpful. Location is great, near to everything but also far from the crowd, which is very relaxing. We stayed in 3 more hotels in St Teresa during our stay due the lack of availability at Akwa and this one was far the best! Really Recommend!! great value for money. Alexia the owner is extremely nice and helped us all the time we had any request.

United KingdomIt’s up a very steep hill, not a long hill, but you won’t get up it unless on foot or in a 4x4. But this is why the views are so spectacular.
The views are incredible, and Alan and Alexia were so accommodating. The included breakfast was great with the service staff being so polite and attentive.
