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 staff was very friendly and the room was as advertised. The shared kitchen was reasonably well equipped and did its job.
The entrance through a dirty road was not pleasant, but once inside, everything was fine.

Verified reviewFriendly staff very clean and the common kitchen area had more than enough equipment to cook easily. The pool was very clean and the security on the property was great behind the locked gate. It’s a good value for the money.

Verified reviewIt was a good location, only about 10 minutes walk to downtown. Shared kitchen could have used a few more implements, but it was all good. Owner did laundry for us, for a fee of course. Gated, so felt safe and the pool, while small, was perfect to cool off. Also only 2 blocks from the beach which was lovely. Quiet location.

Verified reviewThe use of a kitchen was great for making breakfast and snacks. The room was very comfortable and the pool was an added feature. If you are driving there is plenty of free secure parking.
It was very difficult to find. A sign on the main road would have been helpful. We had a car but if you didn’t it was a bit of a walk to the centre.

Verified reviewIt was secure with a huge locked gate and barbed wire, which made me think I was perhaps not in a good part of town. When I left in the morning I had the feeling that is what it must feel like to be released from prison.
When I arrived, I was told CASH only, which I did not have. The staff was very kind and allowed me to stay with the agreement that I would pay the next day. I had to get to the airport in the morning and could not find anyone to make arrangements with for payment. Booking.com says BANK TRANSFER in the fine print. This needs to be fixed, and the CASH only policy communicated to guests before arrival. I received a nasty message regarding NOT paying, but I am still waiting for someone to communicate a method of electronic payment so that I can pay. It was very noisy with screaming girls' until 3 am in the pool, and barking dogs which is out of their control. Again, I sincerely appreciated not being turned away being a single female at night, but this policy should be made clear upon booking. I was actually under the impression it was paid already through booking.com.

Verified reviewWorth the price tag. Its also a little walk away from very centre so it meant it was nice and quiet.
There isn't necessarily someone around immediately when you need- I was waiting outside for a bit when I got there since the gates were shut and nobody got back to me on messages for a while. Also with questions I had. Expect a slower response.
