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.).

SwitzerlandThe garden is beautiful, it's nice that the hotel is in a quiet area, but close to the main street and the beach (10 minutes by foot). Emiliano was a great host, he gave us some good tips and he helped us when we realized we didn't have the right phone chargers with us.

NetherlandsWhen you really want to cook some basics like salt and pepper would be nice. Oil, and some coffee and tea was pr ovided though.
Quiet neighbourhood, big garden with small pool, good bed, huge private balcony with roof, so that it is possible to sit outside, even when it rains. Drinking water supplied for free. Emilio and Gaby were really friendly and helpful with every question I asked. Would stay there again!

United KingdomWe wanted to test if we could survive without the aircon in a tropical climate. We could, but if you doubt it will be too hot for you as you are used to the aircon - don’t doubt it as it for sure will be very hot. The ceiling fan is very helpful but of course it will never give you the similar chill to what the aircon does. Be careful with all the food you leave in the kitchen as there are tiny ants, which will feast on it the moment you leave it unattended - it’s better to hide all the food in the fridge. Also, there were small issues with the hot water and one night I was taking the shower, it was hot for two minutes but later I had to finish with the cold one. Worth noting that the place doesn’t have glass windows, only mosquito nets and window bars. First night we woke up from the sounds of the tropical rain (which was quite romantic though). The rest of nights the wonderful dogs who live in the house were guarding our sleep and barking at someone every couple of hours. And you wake up at dawn at the sounds of the neighbour’s roosters morning call, but this is something that didn’t bother us at all as it was part of the countryside experience we wanted to have :)
The place is very cozy and relaxing if you want to have some proper countryside Dominican experience. It has a lovely garden and a terrace. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and is comfortable for making meals. You can use a washing machine which is a big asset if you have been travelling for almost two weeks! The people who look after the property are extremely nice and helpful and they speak very good English too - special thanks to Orquidea who rushed to help me when I messaged her about my stomach issues. The apartment is very close to the two wonderful beaches - Las Galeras and La Playita (my favourite one) - it was definitely worth it to come that far just to relax on one of those marvellous beaches with crystal clear water!

United StatesA little bit loud fans since there is no AC. And it's a studio more than apartment,there is no walls between bedroom and living room and kitchen.
Gabi was super nice, accommodated us with everything we needed very promptly. Her and her boyfriend were very helpful with suggestions about restaurants, beaches, stores. The closest beach Playito is very beautiful, 10-15 min walk. Nature around is beautiful.

Czech RepublicThis accommodation was the best we had during our trip to Dominican Republic. Very spacious apartment, fully equipped kitchen, confortable bed. The balcony was great for having a drink in the evening. The host, Gabi, was very friendly and always ready to help. We really enjoyed the stay and if we visit Samaná peninsula again, we will choose this accommodation.

ItalyEvery day was a problem with the water surply. The owner told it was the pump, but he could not solve the problem fastly . They did not provide any soap or shampoo. The kitchen ware was very basic. Just one non sticky pan, just one wine glass. other places provide coffee, salt and pepper or even oil, here nothing. For 75 Euro a night , I would exspect this.
The location is pleasant near to the supermarkets in town and also a few minutes only away from Playita Beach. Room is spacious . Internet works well . Nice balcony.

The property was run by a very friendly Argentinian couple who were welcoming and very helpful. The location was excellent, both near the beautiful La Playita and the Las Galeras town and beach. the apartment was very tastefully furnished with everything you needed, including drinking water, coffee…the private terrace was great and a lovely garden with small swimming pool.
