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 reviewAmazing surf vibes right at the beach! The location couldn’t be better – you wake up and walk straight into the waves. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is relaxed. Great mix of surf, fun, and chill time. The Gym and pool area are also a huge plus!

Verified reviewWe had a great time with our Family with two Kids. The Room had air conditioning and Fans, everything was clean and the nights quiet. We enjoyed the pool and the sea right in front. The restaurant had good food as well.
The shared kitchen is poorly equipped and not very practical, specially not as a family.

Verified reviewThe dorms are amazing! Nicely furnished and decorated, very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is beautiful too, well equipped and really comfortable for cooking. Of course there is a restaurant that has a really good selection and great food! The staff is very friendly! + You must try the Yoga classes with Roni (the Yoga & Pilates instructor) she is amazing!
The were some issues with the WiFi - sometimes the connection was off but most of the time it worked fine. And I wish there was a larger dining table in the kitchen (especially needed for people who stay at the dorms and have less space to eat at.

Verified reviewThe rooms are very comfortable (the dorms and the private rooms), nicely designed and clean. Roni is an amazing Yoga Instructor! Definitely recommend! The staff is friendly and the restaurant has a nice selection of food and a really good one 😊 + there is a nice kitchen if you want to cook some food for yourself.
The kitchen is amazing however would be nice to have a larger dining table and more chairs as some times (at the rush hour of lunch and dinner) it is occupied by people and need to wait in order to seat and eat properly :)

Verified reviewWhat a place! I really enjoyed my stay at Beach Break. The location is perfect; right on the beach next to awesome waves. Their restaurant is really tasty. There is also a kitchen on site if you want to cook as well as a gym and an area to do yoga. I love how they have hammocks hanging in front of each room!
Nothing! I loved.

Verified reviewGreat location, great staff, they made you feel like family. The location is perfect right on the beach with waves every day. The town had five or six good restaurants that were easy to walk to. I went there with my two children and felt safe and happy the whole time. Great trip.

Verified reviewThe location is just perfect! A few meters from the beach, you can see the waves from looking outside of your window. The Hammocks are super nice, the staff are helpful and nice. All the facilities that Beach Break provides are great, and the restaurant is a nice place to sit and chill. We took a few surf lessons and rented boards - everyone was nice to us and helped us with anything we needed. Can say anything bad.
Honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Everything was great.
