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 reviewI have stayed at this property several times when I visited Aruba over the past 5-years. The location is central to downtown Oranjstead and this makes it easily accessible to all parts of the island. The staff is attentive, grounds are immaculate and the office workers are friendly and caring. Breakfast on the balcony daily is an added bonus!! Rates are great and budget friendly. Rooms are nice sized and works well for solo or family travelers!

Verified reviewAruba Surfside Marina is a beautiful and peaceful spot right by the water. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, and the staff is friendly and helpful. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy the best of Aruba!
It was really noisy at night due to nearby beach club. The breakfast is the same every day, which gets a bit repetitive.

Verified reviewEasy to get to, easy to get to town, several beaches nearby, great restaurant on premises open for dinner, on the water; breakfast on the balcony with the view of the ocean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Staff was AMAZING!!! I arrived by cab and a driver didn't have change. Caroline at the office paid for the ride herself!!! Of course, I gave her money back but it was so incredibly trusting and gracious of her.
It is on a busy street and a beach is pretty but shallow and full of seaweed, not really swimmable. We took some great pictures though. There is a decent beach about couple of hundred feet away. No restaurant on premise for lunch.

Verified reviewSpacious and clean room with closet, toiletries, safe box, comfortable bed. Breakfast is delicious, they will serve it everyday at the time is convenient for you in the balcony with an incredible ocean view. Staff is friendly and always happy to help. They have beach towels and beach chairs for free, quiet beach is just in front of the hotel. Also, you will have access to a few steps beach club with no cost beach chairs. Sunsets are wonderful there from the beach or your room balcony. Downtown is about 20 walking and you can take buses (10A or 10B) from there to eagle beach or palm beach just for 2,6 USD one trip. I highly recommend this place for a fair price and quiet area
I love everything about this place.

Verified reviewIt was so cute, I loved that there were only 5 rooms and only adults. Also right on the beach was a plus.
A couple of the night it did get a little loud in the area.

Verified reviewAruba Surfside Marina met and exceeded our expectations for the end of our weeks in Aruba. The balcony view was lovely, the suite was perfectly clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location with parking was very good. The breakfast served on our own balcony was excellent. Expecting a continental style breakfast, we were served a full breakfast with hot food as well as cool fruit and juice. The menu was different each morning and served at exactly our preferred time request. We were upgraded to a larger suite when we arrived which was a pleasant surprise. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating in allowing us to choose a check in time and allowing us a late check out time because of a later flight. This was certainly a welcome contrast to the busy, crowded areas of the big resorts. We recommend it!

Verified reviewIf you like a more private beach and relaxing, that’s the perfect spot. Hotel staff is great, the cleaning of the room and public areas is very good. Our flight was late in the day so they helped us with luggage and somewhere to have a rest, even after our checkout. The view from the room is exceptional.

Verified reviewSimply brilliant! The value for money was great. The room was spacious and clean and we always had enough towels including beach towels. The breakfast on the balcony was stellar. Fresh fruits, ham, cheese, eggs....(picture shows only a small part of the breakfast). Alexandra welcomed us and showed us around. She explained the surroundings and gave restaurant recommendations, which we gladly followed. We were allowed to enter the room already at lunch (due to our early arrival) and had the possibility for a late check out. This location does not need a car but it could come in handy. Restaurants, beaches and supermarkets were in walking distance.
