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):
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.
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.).

United StatesI cannot say enough positive things about La Botánica Hotel!! It was beautiful, great location, and incredible staff, Victor made amazing vegan breakfast every morning and we attended yoga provided by the hotel as well. La Botánica is such a beautiful tropical hotel located five minutes walking distance to the beach. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

United KingdomThe hotel has a great vibe, run by people who care about the environment. Plant based breakfast were well thought out and delicious. The beach is a stones throw, Ubers on tap and San Juan just a great place to spend some days.

United KingdomThe sliding door doesn’t really close (no seal). It’s pretty common in tropical countries for air flow, but the downside is bites from mosquitoes.
I really enjoy the botanical feel in warm countries. The plants help to keep the area shaded and cool. The room was very large with plenty of space for 2 people. The breakfast was excellent and a good variety of sweet and savoury throughout our stay.

BrazilAlthough near the beach, it is a bit distant (15 min drive) from the heart of the old city, shops and attractions. But who cares. This place is a peace of mind.
Home feeling. The property is a very nice house with great staff, tea, milk and coffee available at all times, daily yoga classes and stunning meat-free breakfast. Unless you are seeking for the heart of the touristy area, or are not into the wellness mood, this is your place to stay!

United StatesThere was a hum of club music behind our property- but we still fell asleep with the coci and the beat. If you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. But really it's not a deal breaker- I'd stay here again!
The morning Vegan breakfast was different everyday- lovely, delicious, served with care, and beautifully presented. The daily AM yoga was amazing- the teachers were incredible. Using insect repellent is a must for the experience. So beautiful on the patio with the breeze, the birds, and al fresco experience. The beach is a block away. Delicious coffee shop nearby. The common areas of the property are so beautiful to lounge in.

The rooms were clean and fun. the included beach day amenities were awesome. didn’t get to use the myself because i was there so short time bur next time now i know. the outdoor shower was private and very relaxing. the included breakfast was incredible. compliments to the chef.

UkraineMosquitoes in the room. Where they were coming from is a mystery and it was really minor considering all the positives. They also said that they will be addressing this and they don't have that issue in other rooms.
The most amazing place with incredible staff. We booked one night and ended up staying for a few more. Great inside and outside facilities. Photos don't do it justice. Yoga and breakfast definitely make this place special along with friendly staff who are always patient and helpful. Separate shout-out to chef Victor and manager Gabriella who made our stay really amazing. Great location two blocks from the beach, car rental not far from it and close by to all the food options.

United StatesAlthough the WIFI was strong in the common areas, as a writer, I would have appreciated better connectivity in my room and the addition of a writing desk. Overall, a fantastic experience with just a couple of minor areas for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The breakfast was truly exceptional, thanks to Victor, who made it a memorable experience. He brought the meal with such joy and passion, describing each dish in detail. The coffee was perfectly brewed with just the right touch of spices, and the peaceful atmosphere added to the charm.
