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 property was so beautiful and had the most perfect location. I also felt very safe during my stay as a solo traveler.
The walls were a bit thin so if people were in the common area I could hear everything.

Verified reviewI absolutely loved my stay at Navona Studios! It was central to everything and very safe. I would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit Old San Juan and its surrounding areas. I will definitely be back.
There wasn’t anything that I disliked. I was traveling solo so the size of the room was fine for me, but it may be a little small for travels with a bigger party.

Verified reviewClean, convenient
It can get loud at times. People party there at all hours. Early morning the city has clean up crews that make noise.

Verified reviewGreat location. Super clean with a nice sized fridge. I would absolutely stay again.
Things to know, not necessarily bad, just that help to know in advance: - In order to gain access, you have to go to the jewelry store next to the big N (Navona) sign. Once we figured that out, it was easy to get into our room. - We stayed during a time that San Juan had no running water. They do have a cistern which thankfully meant we could at least flush the toilet. - Yes, loud music plays right outside the rooms. It was off by 10pm when we stayed and as it was a rainy night, the street noise was pretty quiet as well. - Yes, the AC is set without your being able to change it. Depending on your comfort level, it wasn't that much of an issue. - Yes, there's no elevator, but the stairway is large enough to easily carry bags up.

Property had too much noise during the night, which made it difficult to sleep. Also, it seemed like there was some construction going on early morning.

Zero insulation (you could even hear people talking on the street and music from passing cars), air conditioning was always on without the ability to turn it off (it was freezing all night long, we had to wear our jackets to sleep), bed is for 1.5 people not really good fit for 2 people.

i reported to the owner that the shower pressure was not good, they told me it was fine and would have someone come out to look at it. the housekeeper came and checked out the shower & said it was fine. the rest of my stay the shower was still not pressurized correctly.
