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 StatesOur apartment faced the moving bar in the backyard, which was quite loud and rowdy at times. I was surprised to find no barrier on the porch, at least something such as hanging plants, between the porch/shower area and bar. I was also freezing at night as the remote control failed to actually control the AC, which was set way too low but couldn't be adjusted.
Loved the ambiance, location, staff, set up, botanics, dining, and yoga - would definitely come again

Czech RepublicWe definitely enjoyed our stay! Especially the connection to the nature - chilling at the terrace in the presence of small green lizards, falling asleep with sounds of coquís (in the first night we thought it was a parrot!), cozy common areas with all the flowers- La Botanica is anything but an ordinary, dull and monotone hotel, it is a real hidden gem. We loved the outdoor shower, coffee and water in the lobby, friendly stuff and primarily the LOCATION! It’s just 150 meters to the beach, 10 minutes to the airport by taking UBER and it’s a real pleasure to go for a morning run just by leaving the house and run! No obstacles, no crossing any traffic, just join another runners on the street.

BrazilThe mattress wasn’t good. But it’s the only thing I can complain about my stay. Breakfast is prepared for vegan people but it’s ok for one day, once I am not vegan.
The facility is very beautiful and pleasant. We feel like in home, with plants and fountains all around. It’s an accommodation very ecological in the city.

United StatesNothing (my only small critique was that my mattress was hard on my shoulders and not as comfortable as I would have wanted but that’s ok, probably just me).
It’s a small but lovely property. Designed so well and put together nicely so that everyone has space. I love all the trees and little ponds, the accents and zen feeling you get when you’re there. There is coffee, tea, filtered water provided all day. The warm Ayurvedic breakfast and yoga included was so nice to have! Keyless entry makes it easy and the staff is wonderful! One block over from the beach makes it easy to get to and beach towels given. A beach chair would be nice. One little thing is that yoga is held out front on the property and since it’s on a main road, it’s kinda noisy but the instructor worked over the noise well. The boutique is lovely and hard not to buy all the local products. The wifi never worked for me upstairs in Sylvia’s room, but it was ok since my cell service worked. I would’ve like to stay in one of the other rooms with outdoor showers and hammocks, maybe next time. AC worked well too. It was also 15 min to airport, 20 min to old San Juan (super easy with Uber) and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby that you can walk to. Some veg ones nearby as well. This is a really wonderful space and I’m glad I found it. You will enjoy your stay here, don’t think twice.

AustraliaWhile it is a little oasis, it’s located on a main road which can get some loud cars driving by in the middle of the night. But nothing that’s a deal breaker!
Beautiful, calming space with all of the amenities you could need and some very thoughtful touches. Really loved the included breakfast, teas and yoga. Would love to stay again!

United StatesOf course there was construction noise right next door, which interrupted the peacefulness of the space. Also, the views from our room weren’t that great.
Even though we were in a busy area, the hotel felt like an oasis and a true escape. The foliage, fresh floral arrangements, water features, common areas and rooms were truly thoughtful in design. I loved the personalization and the attentiveness of the staff. We enjoyed our savory vegan breakfast that was freshly prepared by the chef on site. Also, the fact that you can drop in for a yoga class in the mornings was great!
