Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaA tiny complaint. The pillows could have been fluffier? Other than that...a clean well kept place!
The ambiance was like a cool base camp for adventures! Steps from the ocean. Rain falling at night while the coqui frogs chirp lulls you right sleep. It was cozy and clean. Meeting campers from Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria was also neat!

United States of AmericaThe walls were thin and noise traveled. The email/text correspondence could have been better. I liked most everything.
The room was clean. The common areas were clean and had ample tables and chairs for sit down meals. The lodge was fairly empty and quiet. The parking lot was beside our room. The security guard, Patrick, was friendly and helpful. The location was great, walking distance to beach parks and in a residential area.

A well maintained hostel type hotel/lodge. The rooms were clean but with a musty mold oder so if you are sensitive be aware. It felt very safe at all times. A car (or transportation) is quite crucial.

United States of America'living room' just had 2 twin beds in it. Would have been nice to have a few chairs or a small sofa to sit and visit if we wanted to be inside. Dining table only had 3 chairs, and we had 5 people, so that was interesting. Very remote, so bring all of your groceries and sundries with you. No 'convenience' stores nearby. Small dorm sized fridges, don't hold much.
2 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds in them. Bathroom was plenty roomy with great shower! Kitchen was small, but had space for some food prep and light cooking. Very close to a couple of awesome, secluded beaches! No crowds, no resort feel, grounds were nice, clean and well maintained. Nice small table on balcony to sit and watch the animals at the neighboring property. Quiet and peaceful!!

United States of AmericaThe beds are quite small for an adult and seem more suitable for children. There are washing machines and dryers available, each costing 3.50 USD. Laundry detergent is sold for 3 USD. Charging for these services, although the amount is small, can be inconvenient due to the need for quarters. Also the doors do not have deadlocks or chain locks, which might be a concern for safety.
It is close to the beach.
