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 reviewI loved the location of Tom's place and the view. Also, it was very relaxing swimming in the pool and looking out at the mountains around. Tom was very friendly and hospitable.
The bed could have been a little more comfortable.

Verified reviewLocation is really incredible. It worth all the driving through the curvy roads on the way to it. The view is unbelievable! The host is also very kind and doing all the possible to organize a best stay.
Well, having AC instead of fans might be a good thing.
Thanks for your review. I'll be installing a/c in about 4-6 weeks. Changing windows. etc. Have a great trip back to Belarus and take care. Always welcomed back. Tom

Verified reviewI absolutely loved everything about this location. It was secluded and at the top of the mountain. We had our own pool with a gorgeous view of the mountains and ocean. We could also see the neighboring island. Tomas was wonderful and provided so much information. We didn't need a tour guide! He told us the best and closest beaches to go to and the best places to visit in San Juan. The room had everything we needed to cook our own meals to save on money. His property had beautiful trails we visited almost daily, exploring nature. Best of all, we got out own painting lesson. It was such a beautiful and relaxing trip, that we are already planning to come back soon. If you want to be in San Juan with the large crowds and be around tons of people constantly, this place would not be the best choice. If you want a relaxing and scenic place to stay, while being able to drive around the island, this is the place for you! Every night you could hear the animals and occasional rain and it would put me right to sleep. After getting home, it was oddly quiet without those beautiful nature sounds. It took us about 45 min to 1 hour to get into San Juan. There is a Walmart and nice shopping area within 15 minutes of this location. The driveway is a little intimidating at first, but I quickly got used to it. Overall, I would totally recommend this for any nature lover looking to enjoy a piece of paradise.
I am looking forward to the air conditioning unit he will be installing soon.
It was a real pleasure hosting Kinsey and Joseph. I felt so comfortable with them, not only on our trips around the island but especially when creating our acrylic landscapes. So down to 🌎 and cool vibes.They have a friend in Puerto Rico and always welcomed. Even Andy Warhol, my cat, misses them. Thanks for germinating the cantaloupe seeds. I planted them next to the pineapples. Your paintings were outstanding. Tom

Verified reviewThe owner is amazing! And location is very very nice: beautiful view on mountains and rainforest, birds signing at night, pool, etc. Late check out is also very nice.
It’s a quite noisy at night because of the birds and the room and furniture look very old.
