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.).

GermanyThe water was switched off without information. I get they have to save water, but should communicate that better.
The "kind of" private beach is amazing. Canoeing for free!!

SwitzerlandWe had a room under the roof, and as mentioned by other people, it gets really really warm. There’s only a fan and no AC, which is not the most comfortable at night. The mosquito net had larger holes in it, rendering it rather useless.
Great staff. Good location, a bit further from the center and therefore from the noise at night.

CanadaThe top bunks of our room were very dirty from issues with the roof and the place was a little run down, not so well maintained, it was noisy at night and the kitchen needed some attention.
We liked the location of the hotel because it was right on the beach and near some good restaurants. We also enjoyed the use of the kitchen.

AustraliaGreat location right on the beach, nice for swimming. We had a room in the new section with a balcony facing the street which turned out to be better than facing the beach due to the heat of the afternoon sun beachfront. Clean room which was cleaned daily. Strong fan in room. Kitchen OK but a bit small for the number of people using it. Best value for money in Rincon considering the location.

ColombiaThe room is not comfortable. They must improve ventilation and change the roof so that it is not metal, the temperature increases too much. The dishes should also vary.
The people are very friendly and the place could be better but they need organize themselves. The beach is beautiful and quiet.

GermanyThe room was very small, nowhere to put your bag or hang your clothes. A really spartan but moist one. Room with balcony doesn't mean that you have a private balcony, it only means your window opens to balcony of the building and not to a corridor. On one side of the building balconies look to the sea, on the other side to the street. (Music is guaranteed on both sides till late). The first night I didn't have a mosquito net for the bed which made my night more lively after requesting one next day they provided one. At check-in, for some reason they could not fully explain why, but they demanded letting them copying my passport, though they could not show any law requiring that. Only following booking.com's intervention were they willing to change their mind. I'm sure that there are better accommodations in this town among a dozen of alternatives nearby.
Good location, the sea is right in front of the building. The breakfast arepa was good and the ladies preparing it are nice.

Turkey1. We booked a private room and it was really good value for the stay. 2. The staff was really kind and friendly. 3. Kitchen had adequate level of utensils if you want to cook. 4. The place is just beachfront so you can have a morning dip as you wake up :) 5. Its location may look a bit far from the center but it is a good thing because the locals have giant speakers which they put very loud music at every night. So you can sleep in quiet atmosphere away from it ;)

United KingdomThe room had a constant bad wet/damp smell, you get used to it after a while but whenever you come back to the room it’s very unwelcoming. The staff weren’t very involved, however one lady who helped us check in was super lovely & welcoming. The kitchen was a bit small but functional.
Location, location, location. The hostel opened up to the beach, it felt like we had our own isolated area to ourselves. Great value for money. It was very chill which is perfect for this type of location, cheap beer & lots of chairs to use for the beach. They also provided a fan for the room which was very much needed. It was also nice to see that the hostel offers tours to different islands, we didn’t get to do it but would have been a nice extra! Also, there’s a close supermarket with necessities, fruit and veg - with nice, friendly locals.

ColombiaThe room had a strong bad smell during our whole second night of staying, they didn't solve. I think because they are in fron of the beach they dont clean rooms while you are there (maybe 'cause there is always sea sand eveywhere). The walls are that thin that you can lisent everything in the rooms around. Local people use to play loud music util late at night, in my case I'm use to it so It wasn't a big problem but I let you guys know just in case.
Stayed there in May 2023 The view was perfect due to the hotel is located just in front of the beach, so you can stay there on the sand, and enjoy sunsets until very late at night. They also offer tours to Tintipan and Mucura islands which are true paradises (70.000 Colombian pesos p/p or 15$) A detail I loved was they have some shelves with books on it that you could take to read at the beach, and you have free coffee and water. The staff is more friendly in person than on the phone. They had "planta electrica" which is useful in case of energy failure, and had water all the time which is great considering is not a resource local people can count on every day.

United KingdomThe rooms are tiny, boiling, noisy and dirty. The walls are not complete so you can hear every noise from every room. The location is nice but so it every hostel in a Rincon, most of which are in the beach. For budget travellers it’s one of the only options sadly. On a positive note they have free refillable water which is great.

DenmarkReception staff was very unpleasant, did not explain any facilities to us. We had to figure out ourselves that there is a kitchen, that there is a drinkable water available, that there are kayaks available etc. We were told NOTHING during the check-in. The room has a window that cannot be properly closed and it is facing the shared balcony. The risk of theft is high (although I have to admit, there are cameras all over common areas of the hostel - if that is of any help). Apart of theft-risk it is causing window to be unusable during the day, as A LOT of people will pass next to the window and have a peak. This plus lack of AC = extremely hot room all the time. Really poor solution.
Hostel is literally in front of the beach. Very nice location. There is free water in the reception which may be a huge life saver for anyone who forgot their own supply :) There is a kitchen to cook and fridge to keep your food/drinks cold.
