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.).

Haven’t been in such a good room since long ago :) The owner Caleb is so friendly and he’s always making sure you have all you need! Highly recommend this accommodation if you want to enjoy some days in a chill atmosphere

Verified reviewThe hosts were lovely, very welcoming and caring, the garden and common area was beautiful. You feel home right away. The hotel was right next to the beach and very convenient location. The hosts installed a mosquito net around the bed for me.
The mattress was not very comfortable, you could feel every spring. The room was facing the street with louder traffic during the day and there was a noisy construction site next to the bedroom window.
Thank you for your comment Anne, it was a pleasure to welcome you to yes papa

Verified reviewThe location was perfect literally a 2 min walk from the bus station, less than a 5 min walk to the beach and restaurants within 5 mins too! Yet it was set back enough so you didn’t get any street noise. The hosts were super lovely and welcoming, Veronique was really helpful with giving us places to visit and see and telling us shortcuts to beautiful beaches!! The room itself is basic but comfortable, we loved that it had a small table and chairs by the window to play cards/games in the evening, no hot water in the shower but this seems very standard for the DR, shower pressure was good though! The mosquito net was a great touch very handy in LG for someone who seems attract alll the mosquitos!
Two improvements could be the room was very dark even with all of the lights on and the bed was more like a large single than a double, great if there’s one person staying but as a couple we didn’t find it the most comfortable.
thank you for your kind comment. We are glad liked our hotel.

Verified reviewI am a "no frills", low-maintenance traveler. If the shower works, the linen is clean, the bed is comfortable, and I can cook, I really don't require much else. This is what you can expect if you book. Veronique and Michel are lovely hosts. They were very responsive to the few requests I made, and gave me great advice on local places to check out. All in all, a very pleasant stay.
Some seating other than straight-backed, kitchen-type chairs would have been nice, like a nice reading chair and side table. The stocking of the kitchenette could have been better- the only cooking utensils was a fish spatula, one pot, and a pan that I had to ask to be replaced because it was so burnt out.
thank you for your comment Bill, we have taken good note of the improvements to be made in the casita. Sincerely, Véronique and Michel

Verified reviewVery nice and sweet hosts, made us feel welcome and helped in any question we had, thank you😊 and its just by the beach!
We got the economic double room, unfortunately it can be very hot, although just like everywhere else. The wifi does not reach the room, but the common areas yes.
thank you very much Julia, it was a pleasure to receive you.

Verified reviewGood location, close to the beach and restaurants. The staff was accommodating my request for reimbursement when the water stopped working and I had to leave.
Even though the water outage was not their fault (street was being demolished) other places had emergency sources from tanks as it is apparently common. This hostel had only one emergency tank outside the room and the water was infested with parasites (visible inside, swirling around like tiny black looking hairs). Also, there was a construction going on next to my room. They were hammering walls so much that a wall paint flakes fell on my pillow from the ceiling. So overall, coming back from a whole day hike to no shower, water with parasites and workers pounding the wall next to you, it was a very bad experience overall.
We are sincerely sorry for all these inconveniences. On the other hand, we did not find any anomaly concerning the piece of wall which would have fallen on your pillow. Glad despite everything that you liked las galeras.
