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.).

Verified reviewThe hotel is new and very clean. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. The staff is polite and helpful. The hotel is very close to the beach, and has a private beach. Lots of nice restaurants and bars around.
Breakfast is poor, food is almost gone and cold if you appear late for breakfast. And one more point: please be mindful if you book a triple room or any other room on the ground floor. The triple room is spacious, clean and nice but it’s located on the ground floor, very close to reception and the restaurant. You easily hear all the noise even at night and if you are a light sleeper, it disturbs you.

1. The breakfast was below average. 2. Although the room was cleaned everyday but the cleaning standards were very low. A few times we put the towels on the floor and expected that we will get fresh towels but the staff folded those dirty towels and put them back!

The bathroom can get wet after shower due to half glass cabin which is not good and there could be clothes hanger.

Verified reviewThe hotel is brand new and overall, we had a very positive experience. There was a small issue with the bathroom door not closing properly, but it was fixed immediately, so no real problem. Special thanks to the gentleman at the reception – he was incredibly helpful and friendly, assisting us with everything we needed. The rooms and common areas were spotless. The bathroom was well-equipped, and we had everything we needed. We also appreciated the beach towels provided. The beach is just a short walk away, which was perfect. Breakfast was good – we only stayed for two nights, so it’s hard to judge how it would be for a longer stay, but for a short trip it was just fine.
Dear Markéta, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that you had a positive experience and that our team was able to promptly resolve the minor issue you encountered.

Verified reviewForget about how beautiful and clean the hotel is....trust me it is both. But what l loved about our stay was the exceptional service we got from the moment we got there just after midnight to when we left. These guys are good and l highly recommend booking this hotel. The beach is just 200 metres away and no need for towels, they provide you with some. Unfortunately l can't list all the good here but we are happy to have stayed at La Onda
The shower set up was well thought of. Water splashes everywhere on the floor. Probably need just a sliding door to limit it
