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.).

CanadaNo sign, very hard to find. It is on the busy main street of Santa Teresa so gets a little loud after 7am. We had no issue with that but some might.
I nice place. A bit dated but good value. It is close to the beach and all conveniences. The private yard and pool is great. Fine kitchenette. Only 4 rooms so quiet around the pool.

CanadaThe staff were all very nice. Our host was gracious enough to meet us in the late evening to check us in and give us some information upon arrival. They were also very helpful in maintaining contact for the duration of our stay. We stayed on the second floor of the cabina and it felt like a cute little treehouse getaway for us. The all day access pool was a nice bonus too.

BelgiumWe had a great stay! If I have to find something negative I would say : the ants that crawl from under the cabina door, the lack of kitchen utensils and the cleaning lady who comes daily and is very nice but doesn't really clean the room (she only makes the bed and tidies up). Bathroom is very small.
Super location ! Nice and calm, away from the main street. A/C works well, pool is clean, bed is comfortable, room is spacious. There is also direct access to uncrowded beach. I would recommend!

SpainThere is no front desk to talk with the staff, even though you have the watsup to contact with them. Personally I find it a little bit cold for my taste. We spend 4 nights and , in my opinion they should have changed the towels at least once during our stay.
The location is ok, and given that everything in Sant Teresa is super expensive this apartment is good value for the money. Furthermore, you have an equipped little kitchen in the cabin, and there is an small pool in the common area

United StatesSee above
The location was centrally located in Santa Teresa and that’s all I have to say about what I liked but once inside it’s obvious that they cheaply and inexpensively (with poor quality craftsmanship) remodeled an old building and threw a “pool “ in and called it a rental. It looks cute in pictures, the yard looks nice but inside the room not so much. I could see light coming in from outside all the way around the door as well as a large gap underneath the door. One of the beds was pushed up against the low window and old curtains held up with a bent rusty pole, were touching the bed. I didn’t feel comfortable or safe staying here. Also, advertised hammocks but after check in we were told no hammocks. Asked for the password via text and didn’t get it until after we’d fallen asleep. This was the only place i struggled with on our entire trip. I’d definitely recommend one of the hostels over this place.

United KingdomThe room was very old and not comfortable at all. The mattress gave us really terrible back pains due to the sinking in the middle and needs replacing asap! The bathroom is old and not clean. The shower water smells like sewage and the water was not hot. Our AC also continuously kept tripping. It is not worth the stay for how expensive the cabins are.
Good location to banana beach and walkable to many nice eateries.

GermanyThe water from the tap smelled like cloak that I didn’t even consider to take a shower. The fan was squeaking… luckily I always have a deep sleep! For those who are noise sensitive: The rooms are next to the main road and countless motorcycles and quads would chase up and down the road around midnight. The place is dark and fortnightly I didn’t intend to prepare anything to eat in the outdoor kitchen… the few things there wouldn’t have invited me to do so.. The price was much too high for what it offers.
