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 StatesThe ocean in this part of Puerto Rico has a deserved reputation for being rough. I walked the beach and swam in the pool.
This was my second stay here. Last time I stayed in the female dorm. This time I shared a private room with a friend. Both stays were excellent, and I will happily return someday. The location is convenient to the beach, bus stops, a panadería, a supermarket, the airport, and more. The bed was comfy, and I slept well. I met nice and interesting people.

United StatesThere is no tourism information, and most staff were unable to answer any questions. Would have helped to have brochures or the like to assist travelers. They have notices that they will charge you for any stained towel or bedding etc. I found it very strange and also found my towel stained to begin with. Hope they don’t charge me for that!
The place is trendy looking with a nice vibe, pool, and speakeasy/restaurant adjacent. We did eat there for convenience. Delicious but not a way to save money. Room was tight but quaint.

SlovakiaIt's a really nice hostel, with a pool. The private rooms are nice and clean, and the same goes for the shared dorms. It's near the airport, and I stayed a bit after checkout before my flight. Pro tip: If you are taking Uber from the Airport, take it to Burger King across the street and just cross the bridge.

United StatesExpensive for a dorm room bunk bed, but PR is admittedly expensive and it was a festival weekend so you just have to pay more sometimes
Curtains for each bunk bed, clean pool, music helped the atmosphere but was not too loud, staff were friendly, near that main road that has the bus line to old town (but is infrequent)

United StatesSaw a few baby cockroaches in my room but it's tropical so not surprising. The room felt very clean overall.
Staff was overly welcoming and friendly. Walking distance to a great beach and a few restaurants. Easy Uber distance from airport (I paid $7 one way and $12 the other way). Amazing food at the Vagabond speakeasy next door if you have the budget - grilled octopus is in my top 10 of all time. Nicely appointed rooms and kitchen; they thought of everything you might need. Would definitely stay here again.
