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 reviewFantastic location in the center of old town Puerto Plata. The staff are very friendly and helpful, even allowing us to leave our bags at the front desk until the afternoon when we checked out. Free coffee available at all times.
The A/C was confusing to turn on and the bathroom only had an old used soap bar to wash hands and bath with. We had to go to the supermarket to buy soap

Verified reviewThe place has a soul, great ambiance, is life 24/7. The location is fantastic, the owner and people that work there are wonderful, right next to my favorite Parque Central, close to Malecon and with options to buy a breakfast.

Verified reviewThe price is great. Locations is very convenient.
Only has street parking so that can be tricky at time. Water pressure is not good but this is typical for Dominican Republic. Not a place for people traveling with children bu if you're solo or with adult friends and enjoy "staying native" it's a smart and economical place to stay. I used to live in Puerto Plata for 3 years. If you're looking for a luxury resort type of setting you will not be happy in this hotel. It's more like a Motel 6 for an American comparison.

Verified reviewNice and helpful staff. English-spanish required a bit using translator, but without problems. Roof top pool/jacuzzi was nice. Rooms had a bit variation between the views and interior properties, but the available rooms were shown to us first and we were able to choose which we wanted and we paid after that.

Verified reviewStaff tried to be helpful and showed us the room before we committed to staying. Proprietor helped us find a person who spoke some English to help answer questions. Hotel was close to the main square and Taino Bay cruise port. There are several bars and restaurants around the square.
Only Spanish and French spoken by staff. No hot water in our room. Bare light bulb hangs from ceiling. There was no screen on bathroom window and one louvre was missing--the window was just covered by a curtain. Other guests using the pool table in the common area were VERY LOUD and inconsiderate until 2am.

Bit out of town. But it's what you decide yourself.
