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...).

United StatesOverpriced breakfast A layer of mud on the windows, probably caused by the construction next door Being charged the full $50 airport transfer even though there was another couple, also charged $50, on the same ride. A Taxi would have been $60 for the four of us.

CanadaThe bathroom door was broken and could use replacing. The kitchen was too small
The host is very nice, the outdoor areas and pool with all the lush trees and surroundings were gorgeous. The island breeze is amazing. I also like that she provided a little kitchen as we had some food to cook although rather small in size not much room to prep. It was close to a supermarket that had gluten free bread etc and close to the beach as well as snorkeling spots.

BelgiumThe description says there is a communal kitchen, but on arrival when we wanted to cook, we were told the kitchen could be used if you paid an additional fee. This is not mentioned on this site (except in reviews of other guests) Pool was great but did not feel clean, there was a film on the water, I would guess from everyone’s sunscreen. Maybe we just stayed here between two pool cleanings? Some pieces of furniture felt outdated, for instance the lamp on the night stand was rather old and rickety, and there were some spots on the lamp shade which I guess was maybe mold?
Great room, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We were welcomed with some iced tea which was very much appreciated after the heat of the day! We had a leaking airconditioning unit, but the staff immediately contacted a repair service. Sadly the repair service could not come that day so we were offered the room next door. Good location if you want to explore Jan Thiel, or even just chill at the pool. Car could be parked inside the property which is closed off with a gate, this feels safer than leaving it on the side of the road.

NetherlandsI am a solo traveller so safety is my priority in booking. I thought it was advertised as hotel but it felt more like an upgraded airbnb. Nothing against it as I stayed at airbnbs in the past, but would like to really stay in a " hotel" this time around. I did not get that feel. It felt like living in someone's big house. The staff were nice but nowhere to be found in the morning when you need beach towel. So I used the same beach towel for 3 days :( And apparently, beach towels are supposed to be used 2x which is a silly policy as they get sandy and soaked in salt water when you use it in the beach. What really put me off was the inflexibility. I had a city & beach tour booked on my last day and I wanted to freshen up before heading to airport. Hotel owner allowed for the bags to be kept in the reception but if I wish to freshen up, I should then keep paying for the room for $10 an hour after 12nn. She said that its because they will keep the room for me and not release it to other guests. there were at least 3 rooms upstairs and in the beginning of my stay, I was sure I was the only guest except on my last day. So even if I kept the room, they would not have lost any booking. Oh and it was an awkward conversation to use the toilet to pee on my return from the tour. In the end, I booked the VIP lounge at the airport so I could shower! No way I will pay $50 just to shower at the property and VIP lounge charged $37 with beverages and all amenities.
The room was a very good size, beddings were very comfortable. Close enough to Jan Thiel beach club, walking distance but not super close. I like that the supermarket is also on the way to the beach so it was easy to get some essentials. But if I would come back, I will stay at Downtown as this area is very hotel/residential and there was nothing around, not even a coffee place. So it was a struggle to grab something on the way etc.

BrazilI got there around 2 pm and there wasn’t anybody in the reception. I went back at 3 pm and they told me my room was not ready and I waited for more 30 minutes. They don’t clean the room. They said they would clean the room each 2 days (that would be already terrible) but they actually don’t clean any day, they just fold the blanket and put desinfectante in the toilet. They don’t wash the bathroom not eve the sink, they don’t clean the floor and not collect the garbage. To complete I had internet in my bedroom only on my last night. To sumarizes I don’t recommend this place.
The bed was big and confortable. The room was big

ColombiaMy room had glasses of a broken glass from a previous stay in the back part of the refrigerator, even thought we stay one week, the broken glasses where never cleaned, it can be pretty dangerous when walking barefoot. The hotel needs new beach towels. They are super old and damaged. Be aware that if you want to use the kitchen they will charge you US$25. Personally I wouldn’t call it hotel boutique but rooms for rent.
Location was good, rooms are comfortable, staff is friendly and helpful. There is parking space for rented cars. Rooms are quiet.

ColombiaThey offer a kitchen, however they charge US$25 per room and this is not stated in the main page of booking. In one week stay they change the bath towels once, and because we asked. Beach towels have holes, are too old and need to be replaced, the beach towels are changed just on request. This is a place design just to sleep.
Good location, staff is helpful and ready to guide your trip, room is comfortable and have good mattress, there are 3 parking spots for guests. Rooms have microwave and refrigerator.
