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 incredibly sweet and attentive couple runs the house. It is not a hotel but a place that gives a feeling of extended privacy. Located in the heart of the town but not noisy. Recommended for those who want to be in the center of things but not in a frenetic atmosphere of disgusting tourism.

Verified reviewResponsive host, great location, wifi was really good, AC worked, rooms were clean
There were amazing reviews on this accomodation so we had really high expectations. However, I need to give my honest opinion in saying that it felt at best a 2 star hotel (I know where all these 5 stars are coming from). The room felt prison like, with simple furniture (the bed didn’t even have a bed frame) and the window was blocked by a wall. As a consequence, no natural sunlight ever came through and it was always damp in the room. We talked to another couple who was also staying and they said that the hosts refused to give them another set of towels. A bit problematic considering the towels were never dry. And there was a kitchen in the communal area, which looked super inviting to cook at. However, whilst they had salt and sugar, there was no oil? A bit confusing considering there was everything else to make a nice meal.
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. We are truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we believe it is important to clarify a few points for future guests considering staying with us: Our property is correctly listed on Booking.com as a shared apartment, not a hotel. Therefore, we do not provide hotel services, nor do we charge hotel-level rates. The building structure does not allow natural sunlight into some rooms, and this condition is clearly shown in the photos and described in our listing. We are fully transparent about this, and many guests have appreciated their stay regardless of this architectural limitation. The use of the kitchen and items such as salt or sugar are offered as a courtesy, as we do not advertise kitchen ingredients as part of the included services. These items are not guaranteed and are not part of the booking agreement. Additionally, you mentioned that another couple staying at the property was denied extra towels. This is a secondhand claim, and we believe it is inappropriate to include situations in your review without full context or personal experience. We always handle guest requests with fairness, and comments based on third-party hearsay can lead to misunderstandings. While we respect your right to share your feelings, phrases like “felt like a prison” are unnecessarily harsh and carry a negative, stigmatizing tone. This kind of language can misrepresent a modest but clean, safe, and accurately described space that is maintained daily with dedication and care. We are grateful to the many guests who recognize the honest work, hospitality, and consistency we put into our service. Our goal is and has always been to offer a respectful, safe, and transparent environment for all. Kind regards, Jairo Bran – Owner

Verified reviewThe hotel is very clean! The location is excellent- 1 min walk to the pier and all life, several beaches are nearby, Playa Mann beach with sea lions is 8 min walk. There is a very clean kitchen with all staff to prepare food. The host Keyko is very friendly and helpful.

Verified reviewFantastic location two minutes from the pier. Good common area, friendly owners
The rooms have no natural light, there is a concrete wall right behind the window opening, see photo.
You have natural light and also lot of wind coming in from the room window, because between the neighbor wall and our window there is space; what you was looking for was a view. And sadly this room doesnt have it. You also expect cleaning room every day and we are not a hotel, so that service is not included.

Verified reviewLocation is excellent, right in the middle of everything. Room is spacious, free water is good and strong AC.
It's minor but there is only one setting for the shower so it's a bit cold. But it's not that bad when it's hot outside.

Verified reviewThe apartment was clean and fine and the hosts were friendly. They answered very quickly on messages in the booking.com app.
Take note, that this is a room in a private apartment. It wasn't clear to us as it is mentioned as a bysentence in the advertisement. Kitchen is shared but bathroom is private.
