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 KingdomThe room was very near the road so was noisy, from bars, motorcycles and people walking passed, especially at the weekend
We stayed in an upper floor room, with half walls which allowed a nice breeze into the room. The gardens were well maintained with a small plunge pool.

ColombiaThe pool was a bit smaller than it looks in pictures.
The garden and facilities at this hostel are all beautiful. The room has an outdoor bathroom so you can shower under the stars! It was very clean and there was free water and a delicious breakfast for a fair price. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable, helping you with whatever you need. The location is perfect, right off the main street and only a few minutes walk to the beach.

United KingdomYou can only pay cash (unless you have a French bank account) and there's no ATM in Palomino so that's a real pain - I had to get a taxi to the next town to get cash and you can only get £100 out each time so it could work out quite expensive with the fees. I stayed at two other places in Palomino and both accepted card payments, I'm not sure why Chez Oliv doesn't.
The rooms are set in a beautiful garden with lots of places to chill out in. It is off the tourist strip but very close - you get the convenience without the noise. The pool area is lovely and there are lots of birds living there too. The shared kitchen is a great addition. There is no sound proofing between the rooms but they are spread out and everyone staying there was very quiet and respectful.

United KingdomThe mattresses on the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable, making it a bit difficult to sleep. However it didn't impact our enjoyment of the place itself.
Beautiful setting - there is an amazing garden with loads of wildlife. Nice private bungalow with outdoor bathroom. Everything was very clean and towels were provided. Bed had a mosquito net. Well located in Palomino, short walk to all bars/restaurants/beach etc. Would really recommend staying here.

United KingdomNo mention of breakfast though booking.com said it was included - this may be due to our poor Spanish, and we ended up getting tasty treats from the bakery a two minute walk away anyway! 😋
beautiful place, quiet but close to the beach, didn’t use the pool or kitchen but both looks nice. Coffee and water was great to have.

GermanyChez Oliv is perfectly located between the pueblo and the beach. The house is very nice designed with natural materials. You can watch bats and birds from the hammocks. The kitchen is clean and very good equipped. The garden and the pool are perfectly to relax. The lovely family in charge made our stay even more pleasant.

SwitzerlandAt first I was worried that the rooms are “open” towards the ceiling, but actually noise was never an issue.
Jeison and Mildred were incredibly kind and helpful hosts. The place is very quiet even though it’s also central. There were a lot of places to chill, including by the pool and in hammocks, which allows you to enjoy all the wildlife (many iguanas in trees). The breakfast was lovely and you always had access to coffee and water. My bungalow hat everything it needed and I thought it looked very nice. This place was a little slice of heaven for me!

United StatesAs all the walls are just a mix of bamboo and various wood there is no sound barrier. This is not a party place (which makes it great) but if you tend to make some noise this is not your spot.
The property was beautiful and peaceful. you feel very far away from the parties of Palomino but you are actually centrally located to everything. The breakfast was delicious and the showers in each room are outdoors so you can enjoy showering under the palms or the stars. The hostel is very clean and they have hooks to hang towels and wet swim suits! (a rare find). the pool is lovely though more for refreshing than playing. It’s a unique little place, definitely worth the stay!
