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...).

IndiaThe beach is full of stones, making it difficult to swim right in front of the house, there are better beaches a walk away. The water supply is a trickle making it difficult to shower.
The location, the staff, the House!

United States of AmericaCasa Gaviota is not for everyone; you might either love it, or not so much at all. As other reviews have stated, it is a bit worn and rustic, but this can also be seen as its charm: a remote feeling beach cottage on the water on the Caribbean Ocean.! It’s certainly not luxury. Yet, it’s comfortable. Although the transportation from Cartagena was perfectly arranged by Manuel, by van then a short boat ride, it takes a bit of time and some rough roads. We didn’t mind though, especially when we arrived to this incredible place.
This is an incredible location, having our own private and welcoming beach house, and this is the “vibe” of the home: a cozy and slightly rustic Beach House. When any review describes something as “on the beach” Casa Gaviota TRULY is, just 20 steps from the water, and on a nice 80 meter stretch of sand that is private for guests who stay here, with wonderful sounds of the waves to enjoy and soothe any stress. Even though it was during some local storms, the water was clean and very warm and safe for swimming. We were fortunate to see some of the most gorgeous sunsets ever. We loved the layout of the home with 3BR/3BTH and the outdoors area is so relaxing, with a combination of sun or shade if you want either. The property manager Manuel was an exceptional host, took care of all our needs, transportation from Cartagena including stops for shopping and care the whole time of our stay. He even went to the local fisherman to provide us fresh fish and seafood. And a wonderful guest perk, Letti was the personal chef for our group, cooking all meals and cleaning up. Bottom line, the care and kindness from Letti and Manuel was the very best! Though there are activities in the area to make use of, Casa Gaviota is the kind of place to let go, disconnect and unwind, and do nothing. Last note: even though remote, while there, the WiFi was excellent, and four of us were able to do some work and connect to the US.
