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 StatesThe ceiling fan was so inefficient. Nearly useless.
The two hostesses were pleasant, efficient and kind. The best local surf spot was right out the back gate. The deck was excellent for viewing the activities. Great restaurants were close by. Considering it's location it was quiet at night. Great for sleeping.

GermanyVery caring and friendly staff! Love the location right at the surf beach including sun beds in the shadow which is rare to find. It was extremely clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the cleanest I have ever experienced in a shared kitchen. There are hammocks to chill and the terrasse has a fabulous view over the ocean. I would highly recommend staying here to enjoy surfing, nearby restaurants, yoga, massages etc and then go to party to the center.

UkraineVery nice and cozy property right by the beach, so any room you chose you sleep with the sound of the ocean. The staff is super friendly and very helpful, the vibe is nice and very relaxing. It’s 10 min walk from the village center, that makes it just perfect, cause you stay away from the loud clubs and bars. Perfect for the money. I will be back!

United StatesNothing!
The hotel is small and right on the beach! Lots of common spaces that feel so private. Everyone here is super chill. No late night noise. The rooms are very basic, but very comfortable. I was concerned the rooms might get hot at night, but actually the fan is so strong I got cold. The hot shower is wonderful. This end of the beach is great for surfing and lots of little treasures nearby. Perfect place to enjoy the beach!

CanadaBeachfront and just enough far away from the centre for tranquility at night and a not crowded beach during the day, it was more the surfers area. About 15 min walk from the centre alongside the beach. Good quality/price!

EcuadorI absolutely loved the location being right on the beach, allowing you to sleep to the beautiful sound of the ocean. This hostal is a 10 minute walk to the main centre, which means your aren't kept up all night by all of the weekend partying, but are not far from the action if you want to party. The price is cheaper than surrounding hostels, and they provide free coffee, tea and filtered water. I'd highly recommend this hostal to anyone who wants to be close to the beach, but in a relatively quiet spot.

United StatesThe girl at the desk tried to give me a much smaller room than what I booked downstairs with no windows. I reserved a room upstairs with a sea view. When she finally moved me upstairs it was a room with no view even though the room that I reserved next to where I stayed was not occupied. Most of the rooms have windows that open to the hallway or areas inside the hotel.
Walkable along the beach from the party area. Nice shared kitchen. They also let me keep my bag in the office for a few hours the next day.

United KingdomWe arrived to our room which was right next to a lot of building work. There was a lot of dust in the room from all of the work. When we asked to move, we were told we would have to pay a lot more to move to a bigger room which we ended up doing. However we soon found there was no escaping the noise and the fans in the room were not adequate for the size of the room and so it was very uncomfortable. We were never made aware of the works on booking, or even checking in
The girls on reception were nice

CanadaThe hotel/restaurant next door plays music like they’re the only property within about 2 km radius for 10 hours a day, every single day! Longer and even louder (if that’s possible) on weekends. They do it even without one single client there. Actually they do probably because there is no client and hoping to tell people within a 2 km radius that they have the biggest baddest sound system this side of town, that they’re the new party place outside of town (where people actually stay to get away from the noise). That’s how loud is it. Forget relaxing in tranquility in the common areas or even in your room. Solemare was accommodating as they let me change to a beautiful room farther away from them but it’s like they took it as a cue to amp up the music even more. And Solemare will not let you change your reservation so don’t book too many days at once unless you’re impervious to noise.
Extremely nice and accommodating staff. Really great people, saved the stay from being a disaster given the negative below. Beautiful common areas in front of the ocean. Surf spot is right in front of you.

BrazilThe room didn't have a great ventilation so it smells very moldy. The towels had some stains but were clean. The price is cheap compared to the other ones and the facilities reflect that.
The location is excellent, it's in the quiet side of montanita. It's right on the sand and at the best surfing spot. The staff is friendly and the place is very safe. The internet was very good, I worked and had several business calls without any problem.
