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.).

Bonaire St Eustatius and SabaThe building needs maintenance.. a repaint etc. Its obviously its a dated building. The breakfast in the restaurant need some updating. Sometimes by the end of the breakfast shift they will not fill things back if its lacking. Maybe a little bit more international/continental breakfast. That the regular chicken wings with mini arepas. Scrambled egg and plantain.... hardly any bread and only 1 type of juice offered. The bar area is closed since 9pm. So don't expect entertainment or cocktails on property. The gym facility is small and warm. No more spa on location. Back in its hay day it would have bean a wonderful place... but now a days if all that doesn't matter to you its. A comfortable clean room at a great price to stay at in Barranquilla.
The fact that upon arrival the Front office clerk was very warm and welcoming. She showed us some options of rooms.so we could have choose from. The taxi facilities parked outside ready to go at any given time is a plus. The rooms a big clean and comfortable.

United StatesFirst room had musty smell from air conditioner. That was disappointing. 2nd room had bathtub in larger room, but is appeared dirty and cracks throughout. I would not take a bath in that tub. Was quite disappointed.
Staff overall were very friendly and accommodating in every way. They went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. For example they served us dinner on the patio by the pool on request. That was fantastic!

NetherlandsWhile there were many positive aspects of my experience, such as the excellent breakfast options and the friendly demeanor of the staff, I feel it is important to bring to your attention a few areas where improvements could be made. Room Condition: I noticed that the rooms appeared to be quite dated, and it was evident that renovations were underway during my stay. While I appreciate the efforts being made to improve the accommodations, the aging air conditioning units, broken or malfunctioning toiletries, and the lack of hygiene in the bathroom sink were notable concerns. Bedding and Furniture: The bed sheets showed signs of wear and tear, with noticeable stains, indicating a need for replacement. Additionally, some of the furniture, such as the sofas and refrigerator, appeared outdated and could benefit from an upgrade. Maintenance Issues: There were noticeable cracks and uneven flooring in several areas of the room, which detracted from the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, upon entering the main room, there was an unpleasant odor that was somewhat off-putting. I understand that maintaining and updating a property can be a complex endeavor, and I offer these observations in the spirit of constructive feedback. I believe that addressing these concerns could further enhance the overall guest experience at Hotel Faranda Express Puerta Del Sol. Considering these factors, I would currently rate my experience as a 2-star accommodation. However, I firmly believe that with focused efforts on addressing the areas mentioned, Hotel Faranda Express Puerta Del Sol has the potential to achieve a higher rating and become a reputable 4-star establishment.
First and foremost, I must commend the hotel team for the remarkable breakfast offerings. Each morning brought a delightful surprise with a new variety of options, including a range of healthy choices that exceeded my expectations. It was refreshing to start each day with such a delicious and nutritious meal. Additionally, I want to highlight the exemplary service provided by your staff. Their friendliness and professionalism were evident in every interaction, contributing significantly to the overall enjoyment of my stay. Moreover, the hotel's location proved to be highly convenient. Being centrally located amidst shopping malls and other stores made it effortless to explore the area and access amenities nearby, further enhancing the overall experience.
