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.).

For physically disabled individuals, there is no ramp up through the main entrance. The staff can make arrangements for wheelchairs to enter through the ramp up to the parking garage. I have a light weight carbon fiber rollator; so it wasn’t an issue to go up/down a few steps to the front porch/main entrance.
Bonne Etoile is so conveniently located on the Punta del Este Peninsula that I would be hard pressed to find another hotel that provides both location and value accommodation. The hotel provides a no-frills accommodation — clean and functional rooms; basic breakfast (with good coffee), and courteous staff.

At the Bonne Etoile you get what you pay for - and I mean this in the best way. At the time of year I stayed, it was a budget-friendly option in the middle of Punta. The people in the reception were always friendly and helpful. I felt totally comfortable traveling as a single woman. The room was clean and functional. Breakfast was included. I would stay again next time work takes me to Punta.

Really great location on the Punta del Este Peninsula — convenient walking distance to shops, the Rambla, Port area and restaurants.

The TV was really small and high on the wall so in case you want to see TV from the bed it is not very good to see. But was not an issue for us.
Good location, the breakfast was also great. Comfortable bed and the room was clean.

Breakfast. I avoided having breakfast at the hotel because it was something ridiculous.
Everything except the breakfast. Absolutely horrible. Bread and croissants looking and tasting like from the day before and no options at all, not even fruits. All the rest, absolutely good for the money.

Everything, therefore we’re back at hotel Bonne Etoile again after 4 weeks in Argentina. Breakfast till 11:30am, and if you prefer, you may enjoy it in your room without extra charge! Small family run hotel with a nice homey feel to it, in a perfect location on the sunset side of the peninsula.

Charging 90 pesos for water in mini fridge. The price list they provide says that is the cost in the cafeteria. In room should be free. No view.
Location is perfect. Beds are comfortable and good shower.
