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 reviewThe staff was very friendly, nice and helpful. They always meet us with kind and happy enegy doing their best to make us feel good. The restaurante has good food. The place to eat and hang around is nice This could be a really nice place if the basic things was working okay and they are not. Se next.
We got hot water in the shower the 5th day... soap the 3rd. The tubes doesnt work well. We had stop in our toilet. Last night the air con stopped working. We could sleep in another room wich was good but anyway it caused frustration thou we had to wake to 3.30 next day to leave. There were wholes in the mosquitero The door to the toilet was not posible to close The drain of the shower was clogged and was not fixad until the 5th day. There is no soundprofing to the extent that you could hear the neighburs conversation. We asked the managers for helping us to fix taxi for our early morning leave. They sade yes yes of course but the nothing happened. We had to fix it by ourself las minute.

Verified reviewHad agreed to meet with a member of staff to help bring us to the bus stop very early in the morning. The staff member never turned up which meant us finding the bus by ourselves and almost missing our journey. Bar staff were mostly friendly. Cleaning staff were good also.

Verified reviewPizzas they serve were fine.
It all started with the booking. They contacted me saying 50% of the payment was due to be paid by transfer when on their booking.com page no prepayment was required. We did pay, sent them the confirmation and 3 weeks before our arrival they texted me on WhatsApp saying they never received the payment and they gave our rooms away. They sent me a link for other apartments that didn't require prepayment. I was shocked, we paid them and we had the proof document. Booking.com customer service managed very well the situation so in the end we had our room and didn't lose money. The place was old, dark and had no view. Full of mosquitos and the nets full of holes. I spent all night scared we would catch malaria. Never again will I stay in this place.

Verified reviewNice area and swimming pool. They helped us to change money
Check in was difficult, we have a booking and give our room to other person, later they try to ask for more money than the booking we have. I write this as a suggestion to manage better the future bookings
