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.).

United StatesThe Bungalow was much larger than I anticipated. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I didn't know you could rent fishing equipment! The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip! From getting us Hershey Chocolate Bars to go along with the marshmallow's for our bonfire, to providing me with fresh shrimp to use as bait! Shout out to Captain Luis and Brian, who took us out on the boat for a couple hours to make sure I caught some fish on my birthday! To the kitchen staff who not only cleaned the fish we caught but made us a stew and deep fried my other fish! I truly can't say enough about the guest check-in staff, who from the minute we arrived made us feel like they were waiting for us to arrive! Truly making us feel welcomed! P.S. - the A.C. in the bungalow was OUTSTANDING!!! I even had to turn it off for a while because the room was too cold! We will 100% be coming back!

United StatesThe hotel's restaurant (Habaneros) is your only real option, due to the remote location. Somewhat expensive, but the food is good. The cocktail drinks are hit or miss. The lewd, sexually suggestive reggaeton music in Spanish they play on weekends by the main pool is loud. Great for a party hostel, I guess, but not suitable for a family hotel.
The best hotel option in El Hawaii. Great pools and friendly staff. Pet friendly, which is a huge plus. The beach is manageable, unlike the dangerous Monterrico Beach a few kilometers up the road. Lots of activities (kayaking, surfing, horseback rides, atv rides, etc).

SpainThe food was alright but it could have been a bit better. I don´t mean it was not but for example the fish could have been fresher and for breakfast pancakes could have had different butter, mermelades and honey. Just a little extra is always satisfying !

United StatesThe only thing for me was that there were not enough A/C units within the villa on the first floor there was only one for the entire first floor and it was in the room and it was not working properly. They attempted to fix it but kept malfunctioning throughout the night and was not keeping cold and it was extremely humid and hot on the first floor and hallways. Not sure but all the water running through the house and pools was salty not sure if they were using ocean water but there was no point of showering coming out of the pools or coming from the beach.
We were able to upgrade and were prioritize once we arrive and we also were able to check in and utilize the amenities while we waited and it was not a long wait for us to get the Villa we upgraded to.

United Statesit was not mentioned that we would have to drive a few miles down a bumpy/rough dirt road to get there, food was kind of expensive and just okay, beach is full of trash (not the hotel’s fault of course), room was pretty dirty (ie you need to wear shoes inside because the floor is dirty) and the drains smell awful (likely can’t be helped due to the location)
close to the beach, not too busy/felt “off the beaten path”, helpful/nice staff (a few spoke English), AC worked great, for the location it was pretty cute and they did a good job with what they have all things considered, they offer tours and lessons (kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, etc), pools were nice and clean, they provide plenty of free bottled water which is great, linens and towels were nice and clean-smelling, overall - for the location, this is probably the nicest you will get

United StatesIt was a long drive, the place was in construction when we arrived, I've made my reservation ahead of time through booking.com, I've submitted my kids ages, and everything was fine and I was given a price in the website, once we were there, and they saw all my kids they insinuated that there were gonna be an extra charge because for the hotel my kids were considered adults., obviously I wasn't happy with that plus the room that was assigned to us wasn't what I was expecting, so I had to pay for an upgrade.
The food was really good and the staff was friendly.

United StatesWhen I arrived , the guy in charge at the desk said you can only stay in the villa 2nts and the 3rd night would be across the street in a 1 bedroom. Having 7ppl I said no, we'll stay just 2 nights then. Then he said ok but proceeded to charge me 2000q more than the booking quote. I accepted it as I really don't speak Spanish. A while later I told this to my guests , they said that's not right. So they must have gone back and given the guy an ear load. He the approached us in the restaurant at dinner and said he had worked it out and I'd be refunded the difference between his charge and Bookings.com quote. He said it was the Booking .com that was the problem. Kinda more remote than I had expected
The privacy, only 1 or 2 other rooms were there when we were. The weather was great.
