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.).

Costa RicaCars took forever to take back and for from room/beach/restaurant/beach. Parking slots were limited and dificult to find. Staff treated us like if they weren't getting paid for their work.

CanadaThe rooms need renewal. One night we were woken up by sounds coming from the ventilation in our room. Judging by the sounds, we think a raccoon and a rat were fighting in there.
The view was amazing and the beach is great! Staff were really friendly!

CanadaThe villas are a little run down and it is showing its age. The safe in our room was broken and the light fitting in our room fell off. The shuttles were in short supply at times and the lines got so big that some people were left waiting for a second shuttle. There weren’t many loungers at the beach and the ones that were there were old.
The location was great, we had a beautiful sunset over the bay of Playa Hermosa every night. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful The resort has nice pools and they have activities during the day at the swim up bar pool The beach of Playa Hermosa is awesome

United StatesEverything was a bit dated and the furniture wasn't the most comfortable. The villa was a hotel rental, but privateers that own their villas have pools; a plunge pool, Jacuzzi, or something like that would really set the room apart. We had low water pressure in our villa for the sink and the hot water sapped a lot of pressure out of the shower. One room AC was on its last legs, however the other rooms' AC's worked perfect. Honestly, a little refresh/investment and it's a perfect spot.
The location was great, the staff was exceptional, the villa was very nice overall and very spacious, and there were a handful of shuttles around the property (necessary, the property is on a steep hill). The view of the ocean from our 2nd story porch was amazing (we had 2 porches overlooking the ocean), and you can always catch sunset over the ocean from just about anywhere on the property, including a viewpoint on top of their hill. Very nice kitchen w/full amenities, staff kept that room squeaky clean, fully stocked, and folded bedside clothes and organized our shoes. The service was personable, helpful and prompt. If you can't speak Spanish, most of the staff was fluent in English and a host of other languages. Playa Hermosa and Villas Sol is a nice quiet area that the local Costa Ricans go to, so not many touristy things, extremely safe (beach walks at night with zero hassles), no trash, really nice beachfront restaurants. One night there were bioluminescent microorganisms on Playa Hermosa, so when you walked it looked like stars under your footprints. Another day, a squad of howler monkeys were in the trees making noise all day. Some of the accompanying town beaches nearby were the nicest I've been to and it was reassuring to see it filled with Costa Rican families and not tourists/tourist traps. Basically, a nice place in a low-key, safe, beach town.

MexicoIt’s a bit old, far from the beach. There is only one restaurant and the food is a bit repetitive. The water in the main pool is not clear, needs better maintenance. The towels can be changed only until 17:00, otherwise you have to carry them to your room and exchange the next day. The cost for the room and food was extremely high for the quality offered.
The location and views. The transport to the beach was fast.

United StatesThe Restaurant has no ceiling fans. It was uncomfortably hot during all meals. The meals are more suitable for adults. There is very little shade at all pools. More umbrellas or shade needs to be added. It is lacking entertainment for Kids. There is no activity area for Kids.
The view from the hotelroom as well as the Villa and restaurant was phenomenal. The Villa was very spacious and clean. The restaurant staff was very accomodating to prepare ad hoc Kid friendly dishes. The shuttle service throughout the property and to the beach was great. Free kayaks&paddleboards at the beach were a plus!
