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.).

Perhaps a bit more space for clothes and a sofa in a room would be nice. Shower could use a spray nozzle. Ping pong table is nice but having a room next to it can be loud sometimes.
We really enjoyed our stay at Tropical Coral and even extended it. Hotel is small and run by a very friendly family who is very welcoming and provides all the needed information, they can book tours for you at very reasonable price. Meals are not provided but you have a small kitchen and vending machine on site. Our room was large with basic equipment but we had all we needed. The walls are quite thin but this wasn’t a problem as mainly families were staying at the hotel and there was no noise after 10pm. Location of the hotel itself is around 30min walk from main beach and 40min walk from town center. It’s nice because you’re away from town noise in a quiet street, just a few meters away from the sea. To move around the island, you can take a taxi to city for 15.000 or rent a scooter or use a local bus from a stop at the corner of the street as we did.

The apartment was really nice in a quiet area, so not so close to the city center but not so far either, which was good for us. Owners where really helpful and they have tours and activities to recommend.

The location is a little far from the beach and restaurants. We like to walk whenever possible. We just had to take more taxis than we like to. And unfortunately there was no hot water for the showers.
The staff (Jennifer) was very attentive, helped us with getting taxis and ordering breakfast delivery. There were some nice touches like a kitchenette in our room, they gave us our own water bottle, and the common areas were well laid out and comfortable.

The only minor issue we had was the inability to connect to the Wi-Fi because the entire island has terrible cellular reception but we managed without this.
Overall, San Andres Island a fantastic vacation destination! The local people were super kind and friendly and you can eat some really good, fresh fish there! We had a fun time on the island! Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! The manager, Johnathan, has a wonderful personality and was waiting for our us when we arrived. He explained everything and we were able to pay by credit card. He is such a great guy! We love him! Special thanks to the owner, who was kind enough to give us a ride to the airport and his mother who held our luggage while we went to the beach before our flight. We enjoyed the 20 minute walk to the centro and even though it might appear a bit sketchy walking back late at night, it was really safe. It was a marvelous experience!

no hair dryer (but also not the booking page) the kitchen was clean but I wouldn’t exactly feel comfortable using it, everything (incl cutlery and utensils) looked very old - but this is just the island of San Andres, don’t expect modern tourist infrastructure
the staff was really really helpful and helped us with day trips and caddy rentals the apartment was clean and spacious AC works great in the rooms they gave us drinking water throughout our stay very clean
