How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There's really not even a little thing we didn't like except the fact that we had to leave at some point.
We had a wonderful stay here, super relaxed. The owner and his staff are just amazing and lovely! They helped us with all the requests we had. The place is very quiet but super central as well, amazingly clean despite all the sand and just great. The breakfast is really delicious and they take care of your preferences! Here you're surrounded by just wonderful great vibes. We liked it so much that we prolonged our stay for several days. We would always come back and will recommend this site, which became our Palomino home, to everyone who's going to visit Palomino.

Just some minor details - No hammocks or bean bags etc for relaxing beside the pool, and no yoga on offer. Quite a few regulations including no outside food or drinks (more of a hotel then a hostel) however this wasnt really a big deal as we were out most of the time.
Nice and quiet. Good location off the main street and walking distance to the beach/river etc. Good breakfast. Exceptionally clean. Nice pool. Very helpful hosts with suggestions and recommendations for our stay in Palomino.

The place is clean and well equipped with a swimming pool and outdoor showers. The breakfast in particular is delicious and the host Jaime took care of us very well and arranged tubing for us. The location is also very good, with easy access to the main road, the beach and the principal bus road.

I wish there was hot water in the shower, but by no means was this a big deal.
It was everything I needed for this trip. Nice outdoor area to sit and have breakfast, a pool, a comfortable room, and a pretty central location.

Great hostel. One of us was unwell and the staff kindly kept an eye out to make sure we were ok. Great central location near to bars and restaurants, and 5 mins walk down to the beach.

They keep a cage full of parrots that are really loud in the morning. I know, I know we're in the jungle but it's only cute until you really want to sleep in. I wasn't there long enough to get use to it but i'm sure its not noticeable after a while. A positive side is that they were very beautiful and funny.
Breakfast and coffee were good but there was no other food available. But plenty of restaurants around the area. They also hooked me up with a couple of free bottles of water.

Jaime is great and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. I enjoyed the breakfast -- eggs to order with arepas or bread, fruit bowl, and cafe con leche or tinto (black coffee) -- often both! I also appreciated that they don't play music, as so many of the other hostels in Palomino are constantly playing music day and night. This hostel is just one short block from the main street, so it's nice and quiet. Thanks for everything, Jaime!

It’s very basic, but the rooms really lack charm. No decoration at all. The bathroom is very tight. It’s even difficult to sit on the toilet properly. The breakfast is very basic.
The owner is very nice. The beds are hard, but comfortable. There are some parrots who can speak. the location is very central.

Jaime was really nice and helpful, although his English is not great and we don’t know much Spanish he used a translate app every time to help us communicate the best way. He was very polite and tried to help us any way he could - from good recommendations to keeping our luggage for couple of days. The breakfast is made on the spot and you must try the lemonade, very tasty and refreshing. The pool is clean and there is nice garden where you can see hummingbirds.
