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.).

SwitzerlandSince it’s a bit away from the Main Street and restaurants at the beach they should have the option for the ones who don’t want to walk late in the dark to have a happy hour that last longer as well as the closure of the kitchen
The food was amazing! Is a very beautiful hostel, everything is very clean and cute! They even have bikes to use for free Very cool to have an option to pay via Twint

NetherlandsIt just misses a table or a fridge in the bedroom but this is really minor issue as you end up spending most of your time outside anyway.
The location right between the center and the beach (note for the the party people, the main bar area is located by the beach, 5/10mn walk from the hotel) the garden is beautiful and well maintained, the pool is enjoyable, breakfast was good, cocktails were fair, staff was excellent, cleaning done daily. We LOVED Palomino as a town, where yoga people meet the surfers and party goers early in the morning, even if we did none of these activities it was just nice to see, one of our best experiences in Colombia !!

ArgentinaIt’d be nice if they could keep some aérea clean more often, like the bathrooms.
It’s gorgeous, good location (not far from downtown nor the beach, but it’s calm), staff it’s very friendly (even though I had one of my worst experiences with the payment) they could handle it, the price makes sense, delicious breakfast included.

GermanyNestled in a tropical garden, an oasis to relax. We had a bungalow with a small terrace and hammock. The breakfast is very tasty, there are various options with fresh juices and coffee. The beach is a 10 minute walk away and in the evening you can reach many restaurants and the livelier area within a 10 minute walk. A flashlight is recommended for evenings.

CanadaThe daily room cleaning was very basic. Upon check in there were splattered mosquitoes on the bathroom wall and a giant dead spider on the shower ledge. These remained for the duration of our stay despite the room being cleaned daily. Very little water pressure in the bathroom sink. The room can use a lounge chair to sit on and some luggage racks. We didn’t like having our luggage on the floor.
We loved our stay at Pavo Real. The property is situated within the most beautiful tropical lush setting. It is peaceful and the perfect place to relax. Lots of lounge chairs surround the pool, with easy going music played in the background. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Healthy and fresh options are available. We also enjoyed the lunch menu and found the prices to be reasonable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The A/C runs perfectly which is much appreciated with the heat and humidity.

United KingdomThe grounds are beautiful and the value for money (at least for the dorms) is exceptional. It is around a 10 minute walk from the main strip so keep that it in mind. The bathroom in one of the dorms sometimes had an unusual smell. AC on all day in the dorm which is rare for Latin America!

United StatesThe wifi was perfect for everything except for video call meetings. Since I was working from here remotely, I had to find coworking and coffee shop options to take my meetings.
I came here for 2 nights and then ended up booking an additional 2 weeks. I stayed both in the hostel dorms and the proper hotel rooms. Both were great - for the dorm rooms especially though I felt like this was by far the best "hostel" experience I've ever had, if you can really call it that. This feels much more like a luxury boutique hotel. The pool and garden is beautiful and maintained neatly every day, the included breakfast is exceptional, the staff are all very kind and personable. The dorm rooms are very clean and provide privacy and the bathroom is large and clean. The private hotel rooms are also very charming and some have their own hammocks on balconies overlooking the pool. I also like that this was tucked a 9 minute walk from the main street so you really felt like you were in a peaceful paradise, but always close to go out for dinner, shopping or drinks/dancing. The beach is a 5 minute walk away too, so it's great. I will 100% stay here again. I loved the place and the staff. Thank you Pavo!
