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 reviewIt was clean and convenient for snorkeling
There was no place comfortable to sit in the shade by the sea Our poolside room had very meager fittings for eating - had to sit on the couch I’d prefer a window or sliding door with screens to bring locked in with only AC Fir a five resort there were no hoses available near the rooms for rinsing snorkel gear or bathing suits

Verified reviewI was disappointed to get a room that was not renovated. And unfortunately I could hear the above neighbor’s every move. But it was a work trip, so I didn’t use much of the facilities. I did manage to get a good night rest.

Verified reviewWe've stayed at Captain Don's Habitat many times over the years. But note, this exists mostly for Scuba divers and serious snorkelers. They operate several dive boats throughout the day, and the dive team is first class! For those purposes, it is excellent. Great breakfasts, lunches, and superb dinners, so you don't need to head into Bonaire town for anything, but if you do, it's about 15 minutes away by car/taxi. The staff are helpful and responsive.
For it's purpose, there's nothing to not like!

Verified reviewLocation, quiet pool location with many large umbrellas for sun protection just steps from our room. Grocery store was a short 5-8 minute walk away. Staff was very friendly. The diving was excellent! Great staff and dive leaders. Nice small dive groups and great access to house reef which was great!
The one restaurant was expensive!

Verified reviewFamiliar with the property from another time . Most staff were pleasant. Pools and accommodations were clean and comfortable .Family very happy to snorkel & Dive on site
Access to town . Relied heavily on taxis . Surprised you don’t have a free shuttle to the airport for your guests . Not informed of excursions available unless asked . Breakfast at Rum Runners was a gamble . Didn’t replenish when needed. Had to look for utensils/ napkins.

Verified reviewExcellent location for diving with own house reef for shore diving and lots of options for boat diving. The diving facilities are first rate. The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. The on-site restaurant, Rum Runners, is also an excellent venue for breakfast and dinner.
