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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesNothing bad to say!!!
Location, location, location! Short walk to downtown and/or the ocean. A ten minute walk can put you in the heart of downtown Kralendijk or one of the many snorkeling/diving sites. The owners were generous with their time and assisted with any questions I had and always had a suggestion for a restaurant, best sites to visit and best time to visit them, etc. Room was a nice size with a quiet outdoor porch if you want to sit and relax. Highly recommend.

Casa Mantana is located close to town and an easy walk to a lot of very nice restaurants. Our room was very comfortable. It had a small kitchen area with a small refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, and hot plate. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the patio every morning. Some nice extras provided were a small cooler and some extra chairs which we took to the beach. The hosts, Mariët and Ton were a great resource on restaurants, snorkel spots, and other helpful information.

CanadaPerhaps lack of a microwave or convection oven to cook a greater variety of meals. At times, traffic and music exceeded my comfort level.
Decor and functionality. Self-contained studio for solo traveller. Well-appointed facilities with a lovely ensuite garden area. Boutique style hotel allowed for an engaging and informative rapport with the hosts.

When i come back again im sure to come back to them and would recommend them to everyone i know :)

GermanyIt was a great experience to stay at Casa Mantana, a lovely place decorated with lots of love, close to the city center and easy to reach by car from any destination! Mariët and Tom are amazing people who helped us in any matter possible, with rent a car, with a lift, with equipment, and tips about the island they do call home now. At the entrance it says “you come as a stranger and. leave as a fiend” and this is what we did! Thanks again for everything! We can recommend this place 100%, if there were more than 5 stars we will give them

NetherlandsThe only thing we can think of was a somewhat small shower head, but that is just a small point of feedback compared to the awesome stay we had.
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Mantana! Ton and Mariët were excellent hosts, providing us with all kinds of information about the island. They also kindly arranged the rent of our scooters and car, which was great and last but not least didn’t hesitate to offer taxi services when picking us up or bringing us to the airport.

United StatesThese aren't things that I didn't like, but just some things to be aware of for your stay. The parking is limited so if it is busy you may need to park down the street a little and walk. Bring your own soap for the shower.
There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Casa Mantana is! Here are a few highlights: The location is fantastic. It's walking distance to town, restaurants, ferries, shops etc. Centrally located for driving to beaches and attractions. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. They also have handy extras that guests can share like cooler, water shoes, snorkel gear, beach chairs - the beach chairs were awesome for watching sunset. Best of all your hosts are wonderful, friendly, and helpful if you need anything or have questions during your stay. They make you feel like you have friends on the island even if you only just arrived.

SwitzerlandThe hosts Mariët & Ton went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and didn't hesitate to accommodate our additional requests, even those that we weren't in any right to expect. On the evening of our arrival, Mariët & Ton picked us up from the airport, which, after a long and tiring flight, made it so much easier to get to Casa Mantana. On the second day we realised that it would be convenient to have a slow start to the day with a breakfast on site and Mariët cooked us up a lovely breakfast every morning, adapting to our tastes along the way. The rooms are generously spaced, decorated with taste, and amenities (such as fans, refrigerator and Aircon) worked perfectly. The location is convenient, in a quiet area - I never woke up because of outside noise (which on some streets might be a problem due to the exaggerated propensity for wroom wroom of the many owners of souped-up motorbikes and cars) - only 10 minutes walk from the town centre and 5 minutes from the airport by car. All in all a lovely place.

NetherlandsCasa Mantana is an excellent place to stay: large rooms, comfortable beds, good AC, good shower with hot water, a nice small terrace, close to the centre of Kralendijk with shops and restaurants. Nice little extra's such as a small fridge (I stayed in a room, not a studio with kitchen), anti musquito rackets, honesty bar, library and optional breakfast. Mariët and Ton and excellent hosts. Pro tip: if you book with them directly, they sometimes offer a nice extra such as a free breakfast. Just send them an e-mail to enquire.

NetherlandsNo complaints.
The owners of Casa Mantana picked me up at the airport. It was a short ride to Casa Mantana. The studio was well equipped. Had everything I need, coffee machine, cooking stove, oven and fridge. Good shower, clean towels, the bed was good and it had its own terrace with a ceiling fan, you could sit outside while it rained, was only 1 morning of rain while I stayed there. The location was perfect for me, close to the boulevard and a nice swimming spot. There are supermarkets nearby. For me there was enough to do in walking distance of Casa Mantana. The owners are very nice and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there, hated to leave....
