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, especially Max, the breakfast girls and the security were so nice and helpful. The size of the house was perfect for us. The pool was beautiful and quiet.
If you didn't have a car its not the place for you. Linens are sparse. Minimal pillows and towels especially when staying a week.

Verified reviewLovely views from up the hill above SJDS. The pool area looked nice although I didn’t use it. Plenty of pots/pans in the kitchen. Good A/C.
Lots of units are obviously in need of maintenance. Furniture in #38 was uncomfortable, TV super small, and decor was outdated, minimal & not attractive at all. Also, it was lacking lots of things you might expect with a full kitchen - like paper towels, a kitchen towel, a little salt/pepper, etc.. Also, if you rent the 1 bedroom, be aware that the only bathroom you are given access to is upstairs inside the bedroom because the 2nd bedroom/bathroom off the living room/kitchen will be locked.

Verified reviewI like that it is gated and we have a dining and living room. The pool are was nice as well as the staff.
The front door lock needs to be updated. It’s only a deadbolt and you have to use the key to lock inside and outside. The kitchen items will need to be updated to include paper towels. Our towels were taken but not replaced. The bed and pillow will need to be to be upgraded. There was a smell when we enter from the front door, smells like something was left wet.

Verified reviewBeautiful property with very accommodating staff. Super clean villas with amazing pool and on site restaurant. Saw monkey outside our villa which was super cool. Some complaints on here about having to walk to the villas uphill seem a bit excessive, we had the furthest unit away and it wasn’t bad at all. Unless you have a serious medical issue or are extremely out of shape it’s not a problem.

Verified reviewFacilities were clean, staff responsiveness, flexibility with check out and breakfast included.
Very steep to access cabins and main house is quite a bit away to use the restaurant, spa, and pool. Must bring reliable car. Rooms are on separate floors, so if you ha e little ones, this probably wouldn't work.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent. Nice to be out if town, with some fresh mountain breeze. The villa we were in had a nicely finished bathroom (white, so it was nice & bright), and a comfy bed. Great pool to cool off in.
The villa could use additional utensils and a larger microwave, so the plates fit in. A baking tray would be useful. Additional towels for the bathroom & kitchen and a couple of face cloths would be nice. Also oven mitts or something, so you can handle hot pots. For short term rentals, dish soap should also be provided.

Verified reviewVillas de Palermo are beautiful and I Love the Restaurant and the swimming area
I get around in a scooter and don't walk well the condo that we had was where you had to Park by the pool and Restaurant and then walk past up a Hill past another apartment and then up some stairs to ours i felt like once I got there I couldn't leave because it's just too hard for me to get around I wish they had worked with us more on the location

Verified reviewWe booked a reservation for 4 people and for some reason our booking said only 2 people so when we arrived one bedroom was locked and they made us pay an additional $60 in order to use the 2nd bedroom. When we booked the reservation it said 2 bedroom villa. We also didn't have any hot water which was advertised as such. This was very disappointing. Overall it was clean and comfortable but we would not stay there again because of the mess up with the bedrooms.
