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 reviewEverything! Beautiful , clean apartment . One can tell owners put a lot of care maintaining the place; no musty smell, which is so common in DR due to humidity. Every little detail is thought through. The grounds are very well taken care off, garden is very lush. The location is 2 min away from the beach, with a coffee house right next door, a store, an ATM within a 10-15 min walk. The hosts, Tom and Rene, are super friendly, always there to help. The maintenance staff, Ramon and (sorry, don’t remember the lady’s name), are very thorough. I am not surprised people make it their home and stay there for years.:) I wish I could too.:) Almost forgot, the Wifi is the super reliable and fast. I worked remotely for a few days with no problems whatsoever!
Nothing, everything was perfect.
Thank you very much for your great review Polina! We will share your comments with our staff. Looking forward to welcome you back soon again! 😊

Verified reviewIt was near the beach. Tom the host was excellent. He took care of any problem promptly. The staff was excellent and friendly.
There was no breakfast. It was more of an Air BNB. I really do not like them. I go on vacation to get away from doing work. Therefore having to wash dishes and make beds felt like work. We had to walk a bit to find something to eat. I guess I am more of a resort/ hotel person.
Hi Cheryl, I'm sorry to hear that we did not fulfill your expectations. However, please note that it's very clearly stated in the description that we do not serve breakfast and that cleaning service is not every day.

Verified reviewEverything was stunning in Bahia residence. The apartment was nice, certainly clean and comfortable. The location was super safe and friendly, everyone was nice. Especially the staff - from cleaning to maintenance. Also Rene who was in charge of the office was very helpful in all possible aspects, couldn’t ask for a better host. Recommended 10/10.

Verified reviewSpacious, simple but well equipped and very clean and private apt. Private pool and grounds well-maintenanced. Within short walking distance to the beach. Cafe next door. Property Manager accessible and accommodating.
No ocean view (knew that going in). No baking in the DR bc couldn't get the oven to work (but stove, fridge and freezer worked fine). Need vehicle to get to town.

Verified reviewDrinking water was provided. Just a short walk to the beach. Staff was very kind and helpful. The residences/area was calm and quiet at night (and most of the day). It was a lovely place to stay, just a short walk from the more active touristy zones.
At times we could hear cars or neighbors if the windows were open. But it was minimal.

Verified reviewVery well located in Bahia Arena, the Residence has everything you need just a stroll away. The apartment had everything I needed, the people managing the property were absolutely fantastic and helpful and I can’t thank them enough for an awesome stay. Plenty of activities to do even if you are not a Kite Surfer, from kayaking the river to an awesome day out paint-balling, ask for tips to make the most of your stay!
Nothing, it was perfectly what I needed to work remote in paradise!
Thanks so much for your awesome review Mouna! It was a pleasure to host you! Looking forward to welcome you back again soon! Tom & Renee
