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 reviewAn incredible boutique hotel located in the Colonial Zone. Exceptionally stylish, with a beautifully preserved interior full of breathtaking details. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the breakfast was outstanding. I cannot compliment and thank Ramón and his team enough for their kindness, professionalism, and the effort they put into helping their guests. 10/10

Verified reviewWe loved this hotel ! If you want to feel the warmth and way of living of the Dominican Republic residents, this is the place to stay. The room was very cozy and comfortable. The hotel is within walking distance from the colonial zone and we could visit almost all the museums nearby. El Museo del Cordón, the Cathedral Museum and the Casa Mella are a must. Oh, and the breakfast is delicious, with a VIP treatment. Definitely will come back!
Could not find anything.

Verified reviewA beautiful historic building with cozy furniture, charming garden and pool, and lovely art everywhere. The location is convenient at the colonial zone so we walked everywhere. The breakfast is exceptional and prepared with passion and beautifully presented, everything is fresh. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely welcoming tray in the room with few snacks and rum, and they also provided a few drinks in the fridge, all complementary. Very friendly and attentive manager and staff. The manager Ramon is very nice and knowledgeable person and speaks multiple languages. We enjoyed talking with him and he helped us with anything we needed.

Verified reviewJordan greeted us and showed us to our lovely room where the manager had provided a beautiful welcome gift of some local treats and rum for our stay. Really made us feel welcome and special. Jordan and the manager, Ramon, were great resources for anything we needed and for places to visit. The ladies in the kitchen provided an amazing breakfast of fresh juice, fruits, omelets, and toast with butter and jam. We asked for avocado for our toast, and they were more than accommodating. Ramon gave us suggestions for a couple of excellent vegetarian restaurants and a coffee shop with delicious gluten-free bakery. They were exceptional! Jordan helped arrange a taxi for our departure, and the taxi was there on time. They gave us a travel breakfast of fruit before we left. This was the best vacation we have taken. The area was quiet, the room was ample with a stocked minifridge, a coffee maker, and a hot water pot
It was all good

Verified reviewI loved everything about this hotel. From the aesthetic to the pool to the breakfast and super kind staff. I was accommodated very well, the hotel itself was extremely calm and peaceful. Breakfast was great, everyone was so kind. I felt extremely safe at all times! Even when I would arrive past 12 am back to the hotel!
I do wish the rooms were a bit more spacious and a bit more accommodation for luggage’s since there’s no elevator.
