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 reviewNice room with AC and comfy bed. It has everything!
Definitely bring earplugs if you are a sensitive sleeper. A bit pricey even in low season. Would recommend the owners to change the faucet of the sink in the bathroom as it splashes everywhere.

Verified reviewVery nice location, walking distance from beach. There is also restaurants and groceries on walking distance. Host and his son are very nice persons and are willing to help in any situation. It is hostel, but clean and quite. My stay was in separate room which share kitchen only with one other room. I booked also some day trip with host and it was nice. My recomandation is to book transfer via Booking too as it is cheaper than locally.

Verified reviewIt's a great place. The location is great with many food places around and a grocery store as well and a bank is next door. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was just big enough for one person and had an AC that worked very well. Many outlets as well and a mirror. Private bathroom was next door and you got a key for it, all clean. Security was great, too. I would come back!
The WiFi in my room was sometimes quite spotty and the window didn't fully close so it could be quite noisy. If you can't find the location for a pick up or anything, just tell them EcoHostal.

Verified reviewDecent accommodation, pretty good given the price range (in relation to Punta Cana prices). Everything was there and worked well. The host was very friendly and helpful.
The room is somehow either a bit two small or poorly arranged as there was not enough space to open my suitcase properly.

Verified reviewMy friend and I spent an unforgettable 10 days at this property. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, from the flexible check-in to their constant willingness to help. We loved having the option to cook our own meals and enjoy them on our private balcony or socialize with other travelers on the terrace. The location was perfect, with beaches, grocery stores, and restaurants all just a short walk away. Plus, the staff helped us book some incredible tours at unbeatable prices! I couldn't recommend this place more, and want to give a big shoutout to the amazing staff!

Verified reviewBoris was super super nice, fair, honest and accommodated all my requests! Location is very good Room was spacious. I was traveling solo and I do recommend this hostel! The beach is pretty but dirty, sadly.
My only complaint is the cleanliness and if other people were showering at the same time the water would get cold.

Verified reviewIt was okay for max. 2 nights. We could store our luggage in a safe at reception after check-out.
The place is very rustic and for what it is, 50 € per night isn't really justified in my opinion. The supposedly "private" bathroom was outside of the bedroom and we weren't able to lock it from the outside. Located on a loud street so always noisy at night. The communication with the owner was good at first, but at check-out wasn't nice at all anymore. No "goodbye", "safe travels", nothing. Just opened the door for us without a word and left. Quite rude. He also said he would be available on Whatsapp for questions but didn't answer with any helpful information. When we asked which beaches nearby are public, he answered that all of them are and that's simply not true. We figured it out ourselves in the end. Really not a nice hostel with good vibes.

Verified reviewLove this hostel! It’s only a 10min walk to the beach.The availability of a private room and the space to socialise was great. It’s family run and they make you feel super comfortable as a solo female traveler. They are so helpful with booking excursions (which are much cheaper than the prices you get anywhere else.)

Verified reviewGood size apartment near to the beach, host was patient with me as I didn't have cash and allowed me to pay a bit later after getting cash
No card payment, and the fridge didn't work but possibly just wasn't on I wasn't there long enough to really mind it.

Verified reviewThe important thing to note for visitors is that Ecohostal and Arthostal are the same business but on different floors - Ecohostel is shared dorms on the top of the building and Arthostal is much more comfortable single rooms on the first floor. Arthostal is equipped with a good kitchen and has a small lounge. The staff are very friendly when they are around and the rooms are secured with electronic locks and two additional keys into the entrance. I had no concerns about break-ins. I would also like to say that for a hostel charging under £20 a night, it was very clean and I saw the cleaner at work every day. Please note the wifi and phone signal are strong. Taxi drivers can find it slightly difficult to find Plaza Artistico so either show them a map or direct them to the very large resort just opposite the hostel. I wanted to ensure I wrote this review because for personal reasons, I had to cut my intended trip of a week short after a couple of days and take an emergency next day flight back to the UK. Boris, the hostel owner, was extremely kind about accommodating this and cancelled my remaining booking without issue. I have no hesitation about recommending this hostel to anyone looking for a budget stay in Punta Cana. Hostels in this price bracket can be quite variable and I think this is top notch.
The advert is slightly rosy - there is no television, for example. Yes, the hostel is 500m from the beach as the crow flies, but only if you can fly over the building site between the hostel and the beach. In reality, you have to walk down the road and turn right. You should also be aware that there are building works going on opposite the hostel as of 2023 and it is located on a fairly busy road. Due to the heat, the windows need to be open most of the time so make sure you have some earplugs and you will be fine.
