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.).

AustraliaGreat location right on the beach, however it is 15min walk from the restaurants etc, and is unsafe to walk the town at night.
Staff were great and very helpful. Room and facilities were basic, but had hot water and a fan, as well as a super helpful kitchens basics store in the shared kitchen.

AustriaThe perfect place to calm down and to regenerate! Robert and Yuli are wonderful hosts, always there for a nice chat and if there is anything needed they are there to help you and to let you know where you find great places and what to do :) The beach sector Playa del Amor is really relaxed and you can enjoy some quiet time wich isn't that easy Máncora... At Roberts place there is no music going on and at 10pm everything is quiet, so perfect to listen to the ocean and it's waves :) Aussi is just a wonderful and funny dog, he gives you always a smile on the face and the cats are just sweet! The Bed was really comfortable! And to have a kitchen was perfect for me as well 😉 What else, I will come back one Day!

United KingdomWe had the most AMAZING stay at the Mancora Beach House!! From the moment we arrived Robert and his family were extremely welcoming and friendly! It was just perfect !! The location is just stunning, right on the beach which provides the most amazing sunsets ever (which you can watch from the cool terrace) and also a bit outside of town which means you have a quiet and tranquil beach to relax on!!! It only takes about a 10-15 mins lovely stroll along the beach to reach the centre of town too but we loved our location and hardly ventured away!! WE COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MORE !! Thank you Robert for the most beautiful 5 days !! 🤩🥹

United StatesNot really much space to unpack your things (not much room for clothes)
Great location right on the beach. A few restaurants in walking distance or others a short tuk tuk ride away. Fabulous hosts! Very nice terrace to enjoy breakfasts, the views and especially the gorgeous sunsets. Rooms are basic but that is not where you spend your time anyway. Kitchen available for cooking. Walking distance to surfing schools.

United KingdomThe only thing we could complain about is the heat! It is so hot in Mancora and sometimes the one fan doesn’t cut it maybe for the hotter periods providing an extra fan in the double rooms
The location of this place was so beautiful!! On the beach further up from the loud busy main beach, we loved sitting out on the porch with a beer watching the sun set or waking up on a morning and the nice relaxing beach right there on your doorstep. The staff were also so so lovely always happy to help we also stayed here for Christmas and the owner bought me and my sister a present I honestly nearly cried sooo cute! If we are ever in Mancora again we would 100% return

United KingdomCan't fault it :-)
Our stay here has honestly been a highlight of our trip! It's a really peaceful location, right on the beach tucked away from the other hostels etc nearby. The host, Robert, was really friendly & helped us by organising a taxi to the airport at a good price. Waking up to the sound of the waves was bliss. Great breakfast options. We loved being able to borrow the boogy board & snorkel masks, and this section of the beach was really clean. Nothing can beat watching the sunset from the terrace with a beer! Plenty of restaurant options within walking distance, but also a well-equipped kitchen. We were staying mid-week so didn't notice any noise from nearby hostels partying. We would definitely stay again if we come back to Mancora - we could've stayed for weeks!

CanadaSmall ants in the room, however they are all over mancora and were not a real issue.
Nice host, terrace was a great place to relax, kitchen had all cooking utensils needed to make a basic meal. The only drawback was the location is a bit far from town, you can only walk along the beach during low tide. There were always tuk tuks available outside the front doors, as well as a few restaurants if you did not want to make the trip to the town.

United StatesThere was a bit of a sewage smell in my room that I eventually got used to. Also the first night I arrived there was a big cockroach on the headboard of my bed. I told Robert the next morning and he kindly checked all inches of my bed for it but didn’t find it so I was afraid of seeing it again the rest of my stay. Location is fine because everything is very accessible but just keep in mind it’s a 20 min walk from Mancora Beach and 20 min tuk tuk from Las Pocitas so you have to travel to get to the popular areas. I would stay again if I could be guaranteed there are no cockroaches in my room!
Great staff, Robert (Venezuelan) and his wife are so nice and friendly. Super responsive. Love the terrace, vast view of the ocean. The beach is quiet and rarely populated. Nice breakfast prepared by Robert’s wife. You get to meet other travelers thru the terrace. I really liked the store onsite with essentials like water, toothpaste, shampoo, pantry items - it made things so much more convenient. Mosquito net in bedroom was lifesaver. Good hot shower. Very clean room and comfy bed. Excellent wifi and even a small office for remote work! Came in so handy when I had a day of work calls.

GermanyAt dawn there were lots of mosquitos but we managed this problem successfully with repellent. In the rooms there were good mosquito nets.
We felt very comfortable here. The owner of this hostel ist very open minded and friendly. He gave us good advices and always was in a relaxed, cheerful mood. Also his wife and an employé were friendly the whole day. When there was a technical problem, the owner fixed it right away. We could cook, whenever we wanted to and eat in the beautiful terrace at the very sea front. We definitely would love to come back here again. The kitchen ist well equiped including a blender, an oven and a microwave. The hostel offers basic groceries for a fair price. The IKO kite surf school is 50 m away. (Wildkite ist also a recommendation).

United KingdomThe shared terrace is amazing, a great place to relax. Robert and German were so helpful and friendly. We arrived at 5am and Robert was still friendly! The first night there were lots of crickets in our room and German advised us how to get rid of them. We went to two nearby restaurants, the Sicilian and Kibi, which were great. We also used the shared kitchen which is very helpful. The location is great as Playa Amor is much quieter than the centre of Mancora, but you can walk down the beach to the centre most of the day.

United KingdomRobert has something really special here- we ended up extending our stay. This isn’t luxury but everything is done very well- comfy beds, very clean, good kitchen. The best thing about mancora beach house is the atmosphere and vibe Robert and his team create, but having a little shop for guests that sells everything at local prices it’s the perfect atmosphere for a sunset beer. I would 100% recommend- we loved it!
