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

Room 213 has a serious seeping raw sewage problem. At first told because of rain and drain overflow but further investigation proved that the toilet above had sewage weeping from the room above to side wall and runs down. You can smell pee and in the heat it gets worse and dries yellow on the wall. This is a health and hygiene issue that needs to be addressed
Good location on the beach near all shops and restaurants. Nice pools. Simple breakfast with good egg station, no variety over a week. Snorkelling out front was good

Towels and bedsheets are old and tend to have stains. Cleaning is very often late afternoon, when we already come back from long swimming day.
Very nice swimming area at the beach. Location great, nice balcony. Spacious rooms. There are cats roaming around (very gentle cats). Right next door you can book snorkling tours and also book bikes at reasonable prices. Breakfast was ok, with an egg station.

Ants in the room living in the wall and their byproduct all on the floor along the wall is just normal if you ask the staff. Breakfast is good but they don’t keep anything filled up. Usually have to guess what was good in the half empty tray and ask them to make more.
Great view from the sea view rooms. Pool is great and have access to snorkeling the waters in front of the hotel. Location great. Great muffins and baked goods at breakfast.

We were given a different, smaller room that the one we booked (they did reimburse us some money as a result), shower is basically a shower hose in the bathroom. Area the hotel is based in is quite run down but we didn’t have any issues.
Great location, 10 minutes walk to the main streets. Lovely infinity swimming pool.

If you’re a light sleeper and depending on where your accomodation is, you may get a bit of boom boom boom music. I had to get ear plugs, can’t handle a tap dripping let alone the music.
Great place! Central location, walk to the restaurant strips and shops located on the beach. Has a good sized pool but didn’t use this. Great breakfast! You can swim straight out the front!
