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.).

GermanyThe beach as well as the center is within walking distance from the accommodation. The hostess is very helpful and friendly. Her brother Julio offers great tours, such as to the waterfalls, cacao plantation, etc. I can only recommend these. The day with Julio and the accomandation has made us a lot of fun and was fantastic. If you stay in Puerto Plata, then you should definitely book this accommodation and relax there for a few days or explore the area.

- The house has loads of old charm - Beautiful lush garden with old trees - you feel like in a botanical garden - the lady of the house is very friendly and helpful in a non-intrusive way - Full breakfast in the garden I would definitely return!

Great location in the center in a tranquile area. The colonial house has a very nice green garden with lots of trees and a small pool. Every morning a fresh and healthy breakfast is served to your table: fresh fruit salad, coffee or tea, natural juice, bread, egg, butter and jam. Extremly friendly and helpful owners and staff! Thanks a lot!

PolandBreakfast should be bigger. Big echo when somebody leave the room at night or speak (noisy). No windows - room 2 in basement
Very calm place. Good location to sightseeing - Old Town ~2km, 27 Waterfalls ~20km. WiFi available in all areas and it is fast. Rooms are small but enough to live - bathroom, wardrobe, bed, table and two chairs is enough for rest after tiring day. Included breakfast are delicious but should be bigger (eggs, fruits, toasts, caffee). Unlimited drinking water and fridge available for all users. Price is unbelievable!

Dominican RepublicNothing. All was Great!
Is the 1st time visiting Puerto Plata City, I considered these issues: -Hostal nearby to the center of the city for walk and meet the city -Easy and quickly access by Public transportation since Santo Domingo City. You can use Caribe Tours or Metro Tours. -The oppinions about past guest about the: clean, attention and service. I 've loved Hostel Villa Carolina: -Is beatifull and peacefull, you really rest. -The breakfast was delicius. -The are very clean and have excellent covid-19 preventives actions. -The attention of the people and Mrs. Francia, was great!. In addition, She gave me excellent references of places to visit walking, easy and secure routes for newers, secure taxi with good cost. -She sugested us to visit The Sosua Beach, in Sosua. By Caribe Tours is easy to access and only takes 40 minutes, one bus go out each 30 minutes -The imagenes showed in booking.com are real, when you come are more beautifull. For me is the best option when you visit Puerto plata City.
