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.).

Having stayed at various One and Only’s across the world we were especially looking forward to a relaxing stay at Palmilla. It exceeded our expectations and more. The natural beauty of the location and the staff at this property are second to none. Like other O&O hotels the grounds are kept in pristine condition and room furnishings very comfortable and in keeping with surroundings. Every single staff member we came into contact with were fantastic. Big thanks to Butlers Jonathan and Enrique who couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and thanks to Carlos and Alfonso on the private dining team. If relaxed luxury is what you’re looking for look no further than O&O Palmilla. Very much looking forward to returning in the future.

New ZealandWe had an issue with the air con in our room on the third night, they moved us to another room but unfortunately the shower had a tiny issue. They ended up upgrading up to a huge one bedroom suite for the rest of our stay to apologise for the inconvenience. To be honest. We were happy with our room. It was beautiful but we didn’t need a colder unit as it’s was 39 degrees. It was a very minor issue that was sorted immediately.
Superb location, beautiful surroundings. The food is out of this world. The staff do their very best to make sure you are comfortable and attentive to your needs. The pool the beach, the vibe is outstanding. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. You have to try the ceviche trio, yummy. The cold plunge became my favourite morning routine. It’s a must try.

United StatesSome things were a tad expensive, unnecessarily so. A small glass of milk delivered to the room for our baby was $45 USD. When I complained, they cancelled it off the bill, but something like that I’d expect for free when paying so much to stay here.
It was perfect. Every amenity you could want with the friendliest staff I’ve ever met

United StatesIt was annoying to have the pool, restaurant, or bar mangers come to our table and query us. The service was always good, and this extra touch by the mangers was not necessary and too much.
Facility, food, drink, and staff were all excellent. We especially enjoyed our personal hosts Salomon, Jesus, and Irving.
