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 breakfast was good and each day my family tried something new. The staff were all friendly and hospitalble and you cannot beat the location although after a while, walking on the boardwalk got old quick. I did love the villas/cabanas style. It was simple and all we needed since we just slept there. I was actually impressed that someone cleaned our room daily, the cabana reminded me of camping really.
Nothing to complain about. Maybe the only thing is to have better board rentals. Also, I think the communication with staff was difficult ie. upon checking out they were adding on board rentals and other fees when we had paid already. But all was resolved, everyone/staff is very kind and it worked out. We would definately come again.

Verified reviewThe food at the hotel restaurant is so fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly and the customer service they provide is excellent! The grounds are so peaceful and you're truly immersed in nature. Best of all, if you're a surfer, you have direct access to world-class waves.
The room was a little outdated and in need of general maintenance and better cleaning.

Verified reviewIt was so charming. The room was plenty big and attractive. The food was great. There were monkeys in the trees. I thought the value was excellent.
The walk to the beach was disconcerting. The boardwalk was very long and full of holes. We had to watch our step closely. We thought going to the beach at night would be very dangerous.

Verified reviewThe proximity of the beach and the lovely walk there. The rooms were spacious and clean. The monkeys and wildlife If you are in the area we recommend the little Soda next door to Gregory’s just a few minutes drive away. They have delicious well priced casadas. We went there every day to eat instead
Some of the restaurants food was ok but the breakfast just average. The price of the food is ridiculous so we didn’t eat or drink there much which is a shame because it would be convenient. They charge extra for Avacado with your scrambled eggs at breakfast ( not included ). $2 US for less then one eighth in a tropical country that grows them. Local beers were $6 US One of our rooms had a large lizard above the bed which left droppings in my wife’s head.

Verified reviewWonderful and secluded. Really in the jungle.
CAUTION ! So so slippery walking from the rooms to the kitchen. We can with our 70 year old mom and she couldn’t walk to breakfast alone. It’s steep and so mossy ! They really really need to power wash the concrete. VERY DANGEROUS
