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

It would be nice to have more shelves to place my own stuff.
The room is basic but clean and big. It has a nice kitchenette, and you can hear the waves nearby, 2 min walk. The lovely Italians owners are there to help you with whatever you need. There is an Italian restaurant next to the accommodation. The centre is 15 min walk along the beach

This definitely a simple accommodation and the hostel next door has music nights which can make it loud,but ear plugs help.
It was right at the beach and the outside garden area and covered porch were amazing to just chill. The host is a true gem. Very kind and helpful.

What I didn't like was the gravel in the yard where people walk or pass by. Throughout the day you can hear it in the room. The place is quite busy, but that might have been because it was a weekend with a family staying there, as it was very quiet from Sunday to Monday.
Great location! Walking distance to downtown Pto Viejo and Cocles beach. The backyard is literally the ocean, not great for swimming but nice for snorkeling and just enjoying the ocean views. The host is present, very friendly and helpful. I'm grateful to have found this place and stayed 3 nights, this made my stay in Pto Viejo complete!

Right on the water where there was good snorkeling between the rocks. Just down the street from the beach. Located on the end of the main road so everything is close but still quiet at night. Giorgio was an amazing host. Plus we loved their two dogs Sol and Luna!

nice location, could walk a coastal path from the property to town or other beaches. The room had good facilities, kitchen, shower, sofa, shelves, comfy bed. air con, veranda. I used thier resturant which was very good.

I was in the first room by the restaurant that was loud. The first 2 nights the music went off 10:30-11. The owner asked the restaurant not to be so loud and the 3rd night was better, but I could still hear the conversations in the restaurant until after it closed at 10pm. I also don't think the room was overpriced for what I paid.
Location was very good. About a 5-10 minute walk to the restaurants in town.
