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.).

Location is close to the beach and great restaurants. The room was perfect for our family of 3, with kitchen, fridge, and other features. Croissants for breakfast, chocolate croissants, cereal, bread, and more. Good coffee and a comfortable space at the breakfast tables in the Lobby. The staff in the Lobby was friendly and helpful. We loved it.

United StatesThe carpet in rooms seemed a bit dated. There is a sulfuric smell in rooms but this is common in this area of SB. The pool area could use a few more lounge chairs.
The property is inviting w/ its lovely entrance & Spanish flair. The staff was very kind & accommodating. It was lovely to have bikes to ride, free parking & happy hour. The breakfast was nice also. The room was a good size compared to some hotels in the area.

United StatesNothing! It was a great stay.
We loved our stay here! From the comfortable beds and welcome bubbly chilling in our room, to the spacious hot tub and well taken care of public areas, to the kind staff and easy check-in, it was all perfect. The continental breakfast (pastries, oatmeal, fresh fruit, cereals, mini quiches, juice,etc.) was delicious and we enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese in the evenings. The hotel is close to the beach and harbor and also a short walk to downtown and the Funk Zone. We went car-free and walked almost everywhere (there’s also a bus stop nearby which we appreciated - we took the bus to and from the airport with ease).

United StatesHard to complain since they upgraded me to an extra large suite. I mean I guess if I had to pick something I would say that maybe the decoration in this particular room was a bit dated and could use some upgrading but again, it’s hard to complain when you’re in such a large room as big as a full apartment with a kitchen and full appliances.
The breakfast was amazing, especially the mini quiche. They had many choices from cereal to pastries, fruit, and eggs. I’m a Cookie Monster so any place that has free cookies automatically gets bonus points. I felt like I ate 23 cookies but it was probably closer to 12. The location was decent. Not on the beach but a 5 or 10 minute walk up the street will get you there. Also, happy hour was awesome, free wine and cheese and crackers. Perfect for a pre-dinner snack, and also free bike rentals….Need I say more? Lastly, the staff was next level customer service. Everyone was so nice at all hours of the day/night, especially the homey Diego
