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):
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.
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.).

United StatesMake sure you close the lid of the toilet and close the bathroom door, othwise you may notice an odor.
The location was great for us but some people may find hiking uphill to get to your lodging and then climb many steps to get to your room a challenge. Taxis are good about driving you to the base of the steps. The view was spectacular!!!

United StatesIt is really showing its age. Faded and broken fixtures, lots of wear, from glassware to towels. As quiet as you think the remote location will be, forget about it. Dogs bark almost incessantly and the favorite tool among locals is the gas powered weed whacker.
The pool Was an absolute delight

Czech RepublicIf you do not like steps - do not go .. but then perhaps ... re think your visit to Saba at all :)
Outstanding place in all aspects. Got the highest possible chalet with the view. Couple more steps (actually a few more couples) to reach it gave us perfect view (and a bit stronger legs). Friendly personal and Saba all around. Suggest definitely.

Brazilyou need to climb up stairs, which are about 5 floors high, through a side staircase to get to the hotel. there's no help with your luggage when you arrive or leave. every time you go out you think twice because of the stairs, and the walk into town is a stretch because Saba is so hilly. the bed could use new mattresses.
The view is breathtaking and the room is big and comfortable. There's a wonderful balcony (at least in my room), and the pool view is almost the same. The pictures are accurate, and the hotel is in a quiet location. The bathroom is outside but that didn't make any difference to me, even in the night. There was a completely equipped kitchen in the room I was. stay here if you love hiking and don't mind the stairs. if you have any accessibility issues, don't.

SwedenBecause of the simplicity and being right in the arms of Mother Nature, it is difficult to have the room clean. What bothered us the most was the lack of draft in our room, and that was even though we had the windows open 24H a day. Beware that there are stairs from the street up to the reception and rooms, 69 steps to the reception a 90 to the Sunshine Room.
Picturesque and quaint. The view is breathtaking. The quiet from nature during the day was numbing, but during the night, the jungle came alive. You come close to nature and a lot of privacy, even from the other guests.

ArubaThe tip that restaurants and other places are a 5 min walk away from el Momo could be elaborated that it is a 5 min walk up and down the hill towards windwardside which might take a little more than 5 minutes :-)
I liked the cottage quite a lot and once you were there you can't help but feel more relax in this environment. even though I went for work I left feeling well rested.

Breakfast was simple and enjoyable. Sitting, listening, looking at the birds and being able to look at the sea was a pleasure for me. I like the name of the Bar, "honesty Bar". I still smile whenever l think about it.

United StatesIt was perfect for me. The cottages are simple and rustic, and the bathroom is outdoors... maybe my mom wouldn't have liked it but I have no complaints.
This is possibly the coolest place I've ever stayed. A collection of cottages up at the top of a hill a short walk from town with amazing sunset views overlooking the island and sea. Not to mention a pool, great and affordable breakfast, and very friendly and helpful hosts (who provided a ride to the ferry dock when my taxi didn't show). It felt like a dream, I wish I had stayed there longer... definitely the highlight of my trip to the Caribbean. A perfect base for hiking the island; I got everywhere on foot over 3 days and ended the day with a dip in this magical pool with a view of Mount Scenery.

CanadaPlace is somewhat neglected, in need of maintenance and TLC. Constant barking dogs in neighbourhood. Location is not close to centre of town (restaurants, pubs, bank, shops, etc). Must walk a long way up/down hill in addition to 60-100 stairs to get to cottage. Not great value for money.
Great views, lovely spot surrounded by nature. Basic accommodation but cozy and quaint. Nice pool.

United KingdomWe stayed in the top room (which I’d highly recommend if you’re okay with steps), but: the compost toilet was stinky. This is the price you pay as I assume they can’t get proper plumbing that high.

Saint MartinI enjoyed my stay, but I appreciated less the fact that there was no option for dinner available on-site. We were advised not to rent a car, which was manageable during the day for hikes and some activities as they were accessible without a vehicle. However, unfortunately, without a car, we couldn’t explore everything, such as visiting places like Bottom or the harbor, which are not within walking distance from Momo's Cottage. After a long day of hiking, returning to shower and realizing there’s no dinner available meant we had to go out again. This was particularly challenging due to the steep hill we had to climb at night, which isn’t ideal after a meal. If we were to visit again, we would definitely rent a car, though unfortunately, none were available during the weekend of our stay.
I really loved the stunning view and the charm of the small cottages, which offer a unique sense of privacy. It’s refreshing not to feel like we’re all in a crowded, standardized setup—such individuality is so important during a vacation. The peaceful silence was incredibly soothing and relaxing.
