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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Dominican RepublicArrived at night at 10pm. The neighborhood is not secure then to walk by yourself. The room I got was a regular room (room 206); not a studio like I reserved. There was water from the fridge on the ground. The water to shower was not warm. I stayed here for the first time because I needed to go for a meeting at Caribe Express nearby. Doubt that I will stay here again. The pictures of the room online are not reflecting the reality. The room did not give a full clean impression.
The staff was friendly.

PhilippinesSuper small rooms
It is good for transient stays and nothing else. Not for leisure or anything else. If you need a basic overnight stay in Santo Domingo near the bus station, this is for you.

JamaicaThe breakfast was basic, eggs and toast. More variety would have been ideal. There was a fragrance either the air freshener or the wood treatment used on the wooden surfaces including the table, the bed head, the closet and desk, that we just could not get accustomed too. The fragrance was just not welcoming and same was brought to the attention of the front desk staff. The jacuzzi on the top floor was not heated. Some of the snacks and drinks like water, could have been complimentary.
The staff was extremely pleasant, helpful and spoke English, especially Wesley. Check-in was exceptionally smooth, and he gave us a detailed tour of our accommodation. I love the decor and ambience. Very natural and afro-centric theme with superb lighting. The third floor provides a nice view of the Santo Domingo city. There's a nice restaurant close by, less than 1 minute walking distance. The hotel also boast a coffee shop on the ground floor. Love the swipe entry feature on doors. Room was equipped with snacks and drinks, but you have to pay for them.

PhilippinesYou can hear the sounds from the other rooms. Rooms are really small - really just for sleeping.
It is conveniently located at the center of the city, beside CaribeTours bus station, with some restaurants around. The hotel is a good option for quick layovers as it is a very basic accommodation facility. Nicely appointed rooms but quite too small. They have parking slots!

CanadaEverything was extra! Even water they wanted to charge me 10x the price. 4 USD for a bottle of water that costs .20 USD. I replaced the water I drank and they were penny pinching. No coffee anywhere so I paid 5 usd for a small small cup of coffee in the morning instead of them offering to bring me some. The breakfast was on the roof but it's 4 stories up and I had a hurt foot so I couldn't climb up all those stairs. They saw me limping around and no one offered to bring me food or coffee.
It was clean. Professional friendly staff.

ColombiaThe worst for me was the lack of cleaning services during my stay. The hotel is clean but there was no cleaning services during the 4 days I stayed. The room had a humid smell after all those days. Additionally, the breakfast is served too late at 8am and even some minutes after that. One day I couldn't take breakfast because at 8.30 there was no food yet.
The best of the hotel is the staff. They are very kind, especially the staff in the terrace. Nicole was amazing. The location is convenient, especially if you're going to be around the city centre. The price is very competitive.

United KingdomThere was no sound proofing around the door so there was little privacy. This seemed to be a problem for everyone. More staff at breakfast would be useful, there was one girl trying to do everything whilst two or three male staff members hung around reception. I left a tip for the cleaner, which the manager took. I noticed this when I returned to the room after forgetting something and he'd checked the minibar. The internet didn't work the entire stay and the staff didn't respond with any solutions. The door battery was running low, the receptionist said he'd replace it but didn't.
The room was quite nicely designed and the water was hot.

CanadaThe hotel takes Paypal as payment. I wasn't aware of this - it's not mentioned on their website or on booking.com. I haven't used Paypal in years, and could not get it to work with my new cards. They were trying to 2fa me on my Canadian phone number, which didn't have service in the DR. It was very frustrating.
The hotel is a rather old building that has been repurposed. It is quite charming. Because of the age, the doorways are a bit short, under 2 meters - about 6 feet. The staff were very nice.
