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.).

Puerto RicoThe a/c created condensation in the room. I tried to get it cooler but the bathroom kept fogging up. Not sure what happened. The bathroom has a small window and does not vent too well. As mentioned previously, small shower but in good working order. Due to it being low season, the restaurant was closed therefore, no breakfast was available. Not a biggie, since there are plenty places to eat at but on a Sunday, it might be challenging to find something open early.
Check-in was easy and was able to do so early at around 12:00PM. Ana received me and was very friendly. She showed me around and explained the door codes to enter the property and room; no card or key required. Also shared a map with recommendations for food, drinks, and shopping. It appears to be a new hostel with private suites; everything looked new and was kept in good condition. Simple design with quirky details which made it unique. Pretty inner patio with pool. Did not use the comunal kitchen but it’s available. The suites have a separate entrance which leads to a road where you can catch an Uber/Bolt easier than through the pedestrian street. Room was spacious, comfy beds and ok bathroom. The shower is on the small size, like a 3 FT x 3 FT. The windows have shutters and you can shut them to have dark room if that’s an issue for you. Location is on a pedestrian street, about an 8 minute walk from the train station. Walk to the marina/ribeirinha is about 12 minutes.

United StatesThe address was difficult for taxi drivers to find, for some reason. I had one cab driver quite literally yell at me for 10-15 minutes because he said the address didn’t exist and I was lying to him in saying the previous drivers got me there easily given the same address.
