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.).

United StatesWe would have liked a rug or towel for the floor as it can be easy to track dirt into the room.
We loved this place! Super comfy Beds, lovely old bedrooms with historical furnishings, amazing breakfast, lovely courtyard and terrace to observe the neighborhood. The staff were courteous and helpful and supplied us with everything we needed. Amazing price for the quality of the stay.

United StatesIt's minor, but the interior reception and dining area could use a fan or a/c. It was always hot and stuffy in that area, which could be an issue if the courtyard seating is full when you eat breakfast. The street is under major construction during the daytime with lots of noise, but luckily that is only audible in the reception area. Did not notice it at all at the rooms.
My family stayed here three nights. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. A/C worked well. Good breakfast with made to order eggs and the coffee was good also. Interior courtyard is very nice and also there is a rooftop terrace/socializing area which is quite nice. I would recommend this hotel completely and would definitely stay there again. The front desk staff were all very friendly and super helpful. Very good restaurants nearby (Buho).

United StatesNot the hotels fault but there was quite a bit of construction on the street and surrounding areas so a little hard to navigate. You have to catch the taxi 2 blocks away.
Very quiet, comfortable and great location. Good breakfast and I loved the rooftop deck.

I loved the historical nature of the property and the location was perfect! It was my first time in Santo Domingo so it was a good landing spot for sightseeing and checking out the cafes and restaurants that were very close to the property.

Really well located hotel. Very close to the malecon and bars restaurants etc. Breakfast is good with fresh eggs and fruit. Staff are friendly. Nice historical touches around the hotel. Okay value for money.

United StatesBreakfast starts at 8am, so if you’re there on business thus does not work. The first morning I left without eating. The 2nd morning I figured out that they started laying out breakfast earlier in a room next to the kitchen, so in reality I could have started with coffee and toast the day before but I didn’t see it. So the 2nd morning I did enjoy breakfast and was able to start at 7:45am with the favor of the ladies that were preparing things. Also the Colonia Zone is currently undergoing HUGE road upgrades/construction, so I had to walk to different areas to catch my UBER. Btw, UBER is the way to get around !! It was inexpensive completely reliable and easy as 1-2-3.
It’s a house (originally built as a convent for nuns) built I think in the year 1530 and I absolutely LOVED the stones, bricks super high ceilings and tall doors, furnishings and such.

Beautiful, unique and historic. It was amazing to stay in what used to be an old convent and one of the first original buildings in the old colonial town. The rooftop was so peaceful to enjoy a beer in the evening or to do yoga for the sunrise in the morning!

Romaniawe had a standard double room, which was very small, with no windows. The entrance of the room was in the courtyard, where they have some nice tables and umbrellas, so we could hear everyone talking, at any hour of the day and night.
It is a very nice, historical building, with a beautiful inner courtyard.
