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 StatesThe free breakfast left a lot to be desired. One of the days, we waited a full hour-plus to get our toast and bacon. The restaurant was far from capacity at the time.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful. I felt like I was a part of history, and the location was also right in the middle of the action, so to speak. Loved the free wine hour and delicious Gouda cheese! Also, when we arrived at around 2am the first night, the staff were able to come bring in extra sheets so I could sleep on the floor (I have a bad back and the mattress was too soft). I really appreciated this!!

United StatesOur first-floor room was dark and dank. The a/c was either at polar chill or off. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Water went all over the floor due to a sloppily installed shower curb. The restaurant was hit-or-miss in terms of food and service. The wine selection was weak, and even the limited selection wasn't all available during our stay. The daily complimentary happy hour is a nice gesture, but the offerings were minimal at best. The rooftop pool is tiny, the handful of lounge chairs had badly stained cushions, there was virtually no shade (only two small umbrellas), and sometimes there were no towels. There was no service up there whatsoever. There is no concierge. The front desk staff sent us on a 20 minute Uber ride to a recommended restaurant that they assured us did not require reservations on a week night. When we arrived, the wait was an hour and a half. On the day of our departure, we asked the front desk to reserve us a taxi to the airport 3 hours in advance, and then the bell staff gave it to another couple who just happened to be standing there because we weren't quite ready, 10 minutes BEFORE the reserved time. It took 25 minutes to get another taxi.
Location is outstanding. The staff was pleasant and friendly. The hotel overall is beautiful. The restaurant and bar are very convenient.

United StatesThere was construction on one of the floors so the evening wine receptions were held in another hotel. That was a nice perk we were expecting, but found out upon our arrival that it was moved.
Location is great. Staff was very responsive and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and has a great old world yet Caribbean vibe. Having access to their beachfront hotel in Condado was a plus.

United StatesParking is fine - there is a lot at the cathedral across the street, but we came during a wedding and it was full. I would have been totally screwed if I hadn't "tipped" the attendant to have my car parked in the full lot (and believe me, it was full). I think this was just a quirk because of the wedding, but beware if you are driving. Oh, they were understaffed, but we were there between Christmas and new years. The staff that was there worked literally 20 hours per day. They tried their best and made the experience wonderful. Kudos to the manager of the hotel and Jesus in the restaurant. I've never seen staff work as hard as them.
Location, location, location - This is the best hotel if you like staying in the heart of the old downtown. Their restaurant is good, staff is very hard working. Hotel is absolutely beautiful.

United StatesThere was construction going on that I wasn’t aware of, it was pretty loud and started early….the 2 elevators were slow and we couldn’t take the stairs to/from our room because we were on the 4th floor and the stairs were blocked off due to the construction on the 3rd floor.
Room was clean & comfortable. Great location, near bars and restaurants. Walking distance to the historic fort.

United StatesThe 3rd floor construction was a little jarring, plus the taping off of the staircase at floor 4 kept us from using the stairs to get up and down from the 5th floor. I imagine it will be nicer/quieter when the construction is complete, though... Also, the Refrigerator produced a lot of moisture on the floor of the entryway when the AC was on. Seems like a pad or tray underneath it could keep that slippery moisture from building up on the floor. Might be nice to have drinks available at the pool (either alcoholic or just waters and juices)
The staff were all very helpful and friendly! The Courtyard at the Nispero was fun (we recommend that you make some cocktails with the Nispero fruit from that tree at the bar, though), and Trixie the Cat was a great Hostess! Loved the history, enjoyed the pool, and thought the old fixtures and doors, and the art and architecture made for a great ambiance. Enjoyed the Wine and cheese happy hour at the Palacio as well, and my wife really loved the Molton Brown amenities!

United StatesThere is a big visual display that has misinformation regarding Jazz music on Friday nights. ' Interesting enough we also went to two other hotels and the front desk staff had difficulty answering certain basic questions about events at their own hotel regarding live music.
The location is great because it sits in the middle of most sites of interest and within easy walking distance. The pool is small but comfortable. We normally had just breakfast in the hotel but kitchen staff can be slow. I had been in this room two years or more ago and it has been totally updated. We Uber all over Old San Juan, Isla Verde and to and from the airport. First time user of Uber and it was easy. If I had rented a car it would have been at least $25.00 for parking and the rental cost. Do the math.
