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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The pool on the roof is small but you don’t need a pool as there is the sea !
The location is perfect - Right opposite the beach. And an area to wash off sand before entering the hotel. The staff were lovely. The breakfast was delicious !

I think they could offer a beach service, but we can get straight from the food/beverage stalls in the beach.
Definitely the location is amazing, Ipanema beach front. Walking distance to great restaurants in a safe area. The room was simple, but very comfortable, with excellent shower. Great breakfast. The hotel facade can be deceiving, as it is a small lobby, no luxury. But the location of the hotel and good accommodation is what makes the difference as Ipanema beach does not offer a lot of options.

A nice hotel in a fantastic location. Ipanema beach is a privileged location and that is expressed in the price which is at the upper end of what the hotel (even though nice) can justify. If the prime location is worth it to you, this is a very good choice.

The water in the shower could, at times, get very hot or cold which wasn’t great. There are works being done to the building using scaffolding. During the day, engineers would be working on the building and could easily see into the room (when one is dressing or relaxing). Appreciate the works need to be done but it would’ve been nice to be informed of this in advance rather than finding out as an engineer was outside the window!
Great location across the road from Ipenema beach. The bedroom was a good size, large bed, great bed linen, good shower with plenty of toiletries supplied.

The construction ( unfortunately, but totally understandably)
The view was blocked by some construction iron poles while we were there. We can still see the ocean but through the poles. Breakfast was great, had everything you wish for. Friendly staff . The reception staff was great too.

I believe that the rooftop (and sits in it) is small for the amount of travelers passing by the hotel. The pool too. The cleaning personal have to use the same elevators than the tourists (they don't have one for their own), so that was inconvenient at certain moments of the day.
Pefectly located in one of the best beaches in Brasil, for its view, the crowd, services, and the splendorous and vigorous neighbourhood of Ipanema. Great breakfast, the staff was kind and willing to help. And the room was confortable enoughm with a beautiful view of the beach.

Pool on the roof is an acet (quite small but with a really nice view) . Rooms as exactly as described and expected, in a pretty part of the city in front of a one of the crowded beach (ipanema) but not as crowded as Copacabana. Close to the metro also.

Some confusion at checkin but otherwise fine. They asked for a small tourist tax at checkout which was not substantial but when pressed they said it wasn’t actually mandatory. I don’t like that they do that- it feels predatory and like someone is taking advantage. It wasn’t the sum - it was the way it was requested. And when pressed, they said I didn’t have to pay!
Comfortable beds, clean, right on the beach, great location.

The lifts were very slow at times. Also didn’t like that Wifi disconnects once you have checked out. We needed it for our Uber to the airport later in the day.
The amazing location and the hotel provides beach towels, chairs and umbrellas at no extra charge. This is a great extra touch.

At the fitness room the appliances must be more often checked and repair , for example , the bike we couldn’t use because the pedal was loose .
Breakfast is quite good , only complain is that the staff people talks inside the breakfast room all the time with each other too loud , they should be a bit aware of it .

The room was not as luxurious as I expected for the price I paid. I guess the cost is due solely to the location, which is indeed great. I can’t imagine what a 4-star hotel would cost facing the Ipanema beach.
