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 like that it was close to a lot of different fun spots. I also like that it was close to the Main Street.
I didn’t like that it didn’t have a tv and the room was a little outdated.

Verified reviewWonderful beach hotel with amazingly courteous and helpful staff who were always looking for ways to make your stay more comfortable. The location gives you wonderful Caribbean vibes, the place is spotlessly clean and there's security on-site at night for extra comfort. Loved walking in the morning to the cafes alongside the beach, even though most people seem to prefer golf carts to walking.
I stayed in cabana nr 5 and the only negative is that since you're close to the beach bars and the road itself, it can be quite noisy in the late hours. A good pair of earplugs helps, but for travellers with light sleep it might be a nuisance.
Thank you for your kind review Maarja. We value your feedback and enjoyed making your stay memorable. Continued safe travels & adventures! Chris, Gricela, Javier, Yesenia, Seleny, Kyle, Ryan, & Nas

Verified reviewChristine and her staff were exceptionally helpful and thoughtful. They even left a birthday surprise card and cakes in our room for my wife! All of the things that matter most, bed comfort, air-conditioning and the design and lay out of the facility were spot on, and being on the north side of San Pedro, provided good access to town, but enough respite and peace, as well. Close to a great bakery and fruit shops, making it easy to do some self catering. Golf carts were delivered to the hotel on request.
Cant thinks of anything important.

access to the beach should be improved. Beautifull sandy beaches but covered with seagrass, preventing entrance to water.
Thank you for your review. It was lovely to have you here for a long stay. Thank you for your valued feedback, we will pass it on to our town council, whom diligently cleans when the seagrass floats up. Continued safe travels! Kind Regards, Mgmt. & Staff

Verified reviewHotel Del Rio is an awesome little hotel in San Pedro. It's right on the water and probably the best location you can ask for being a 5-10 minute walk down the beach into town. It is footsteps from some awesome beach bars and restaurants. The property was very cute, the rooms were clean and the AC was great. The staff were excellent and always helpful in providing recommendations/service. My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay here. Great bang for your buck.
The beach bars can get a little noisy at night. We used ear plugs which worked for the most part.
Thank you for your review. We enjoyed hosting the both of you and glad you enjoyed your stay. Vacations should be made of good memories! Warm Regards, Mgmt. & Staff, Hotel del Rio

Verified reviewThe location is great. Close to everything. I walked everywhere I needed to go. Gricela and staff were all lovely and always helpful. The room was small, but had everything I needed (except a kettle-bring your own! I purchased one at a nearby hardware store.)
A little bit noisy with the music at the bar nearby. Generally music stopped after midnight however.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure to host you. Warm Regards, Mgmt. & Staff, Hotel del Rio
