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 review+Modern building +Comfortable beds +Clean rooms +Smart TV and good A/C +Friendly staff +Decent WiFi +Rooftop pool and bar +Very central location, though this was a downside too
-The location is very central but due to being opposite the main town square, there was very loud music and performances until 1am one night -The room was a bit small and damp

Verified reviewGreat location right in the centre of down town. All the best restaurants are within 2 minute walk, as is the beach! Markets and live music and dancing most nights in the plaza across the street, so you have the best view from the balcony. The music stops at midnight so it didn't interfere with sleep too much. The rooms are lovely, large, and comfortable, with great air-conditioning. The front desk staff guy was very friendly and helpful. For the location and the aesthetics of the hotel, the price is fantastic value.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect, the personal very kind and helpful. The room is very clean and feels new. The only possible downside is the music from the bar above but personally we did not mind it at all and it stops at 23h.

Verified reviewCentral location, spacious room and terrace, comfy bed and all the bathroom amenities you need.
On our first night the bar on the roof (above our room) had very loud live music until midnight. The following two nights it turned out to be Carnaval which meant there was booming music in the plaza directly outside our room until 2am. The music was so loud the room was vibrating and there is no soundproofing. If we’d known this before, we would have stayed elsewhere.

Verified reviewThe staff was friendly and kind (we asked to leave the luggage after the check out and they accepted; we had to pay some taxes but didnt had the exact amount and they were understanding and waited for us to come the next days, we asked for a room cleaning and it was done fast). In reality the property isnt so good looking like in the pictures but its comfortable and well maintained. The balcony is a really nice touch! And the view! Just when we arrived, a racoon visited us and we put an apple for him on the table, which he ate later on when he visited us again the other night 😁 On the rooftop they have a bar with a beautiful view and live music. The location is also good. In the area there are shops, restaurants and right in front of the hotel you can find taxi.
We had a pleasant stay, nothing negative to say.

Verified reviewThe hotel is very well taken care off, clean and cozy, the room vas very comfortable with a king size bed. There is a nice bar in the roof with live music. The restaurant next door was excellent very recommended. Nice staff, good internet. Well located close to the beach and the ferry station as well.
The hotel is infront of the central park so it gets noisy at some point in the evening.

Verified reviewGreat location Clean
The beautiful rooftop bar was closed. No staff present on site after 5pm. The gate that was supposed to be closed at 12am remained opened all night. The selling point of this hotel was the gorgeous views from the rooftop bar but sadly, without any details or explanation, it was closed.

Verified reviewThe accommodation is in a great central location. Cleaning staff were excellent. Nice rooms very clean with comfortable bed. Good wifi.
The problem with this hotel is the Roof Bar which is open to the public. A loud speaker at the entrance blasts out loud music to beyond midnight. Those visiting and leaving the bar have to go past all of the guest rooms. There is live music most nights and it's incredibly noisy until at least 00.15 I would describe the place as a Roof Bar with a few letting rooms and not as a Hotel. There is no lobby or staff to meet and greet with all checking in instructions being issued digitally on the uploading at their request of a photo ID from the guest.
