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...).

If you are looking for in a place where you could live among nature, but still enjoy a 5 star boutique hotel experience, this is the place.

United KingdomIt was all good. We were initially expecting a long wait until check-in, having taken the hotel boat at 8.30am. However it's super well-organised so you are given a sun lounger to wait on, with access to a loo, shower, bar etc... You can be swimming by noon so maybe bring your swimming costume with you in your hand luggage ready to take the plunge. Because of the boat times and in the absence of other food alternatives, you will probably end up having the hotel lunch before checking in and after checking out. This isn't a drawback. The food is good and the hotel boat times give you more time on the island and more bang for your buck. We enjoyed our three nights/four days because we loved the tranquility and sea swimming but two nights/three days would be a good alternative.
Wonderfully tranquil location right on the Caribbean. Delightful, attentive staff. Excellent food, freshly cooked using quality ingredients. The breakfast eggs were freshly cooked to order and the seafood and fish lunch/dinner dishes were particularly good and not overpriced. Kayaks and paddle boards available to rent at low cost. Cute retro ensuite bedroom with table and chairs on a sweet terrace (we were in room 3).

United States of AmericaHonestly, everything. My partner and I came for what was supposed to be one night and within five minutes of arriving on the island we decided to extend our stay. The island itself is gorgeous, small but still plenty of privacy, the room was very spacious with great temperature control, the food delicious and fresh, and the staff were truly incredible -- attentive, friendly and extremely accommodating. It was perfect to just relax and swim in the water (which you can walk into from multiple spots around the island, and the also offered activities to break up the relaxation. We are already looking forward to coming back! p.s. Tambora is the sweetest pup who roams the island, greeting all of the guests. Be sure to give her some well deserved scrathces.

My stay at Coralina Island hotel was unforgettable. The hotel itself was lovely: caribbean style bungalows with wonderful private docks overlooking the sunset on the ocean, surrounded by mangroves. It was a true immersion in nature, with the comfort of a well curated hotel experience. The resort provides several activities to enjoy, including kayaking, swimming to the coral reef, exploring the nearby island etc. The rooms had air conditioning, comfortable bed and well decorated (some of the furniture was antique and belonged to the owner's grandfather!). The meals were excellent, and there was a lot to choose from. I particularly recommend the ceviche, the Coralina fish stew and the fried red snapper. Prices for meals were very reasonable. The hotel has a coffee shop that is owned by Marie and Felipe, who will provide you with a unique coffee tasting experience, with coffee that they personally travel Colombia to purchase directly from the source. It was delicious! I would say what most differentiated this stay for me was the kindness of the owners and their staff. I was traveling alone, and Pierre (owner) and his family invited me to eat with them every night I was there, and even invited me to kayak and swim with them. They made me feel completely at home. Absolutely loved it and would wholeheartedly recommend this stay!

United States of AmericaIf your looking for amazing waters, which you wont find near the city of Cartagena, this is it. There was a near by spot with an amazing reef. The island was filled with birds. The staff was very personal and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. Words can not describe how nice this trip was. It was like having a home away from home. And I think the owners and staff are what gave it this feeling.

United States of AmericaExcellent stay. Friendly and hospitable staff. The food was delicious and generous portion sizes. We only stayed a night as we spent most of our time on Cartagena, I wish we had stayed longer! Hotel Coralina offers a few excursions around the island. You can also snorkel right of some of the docks. The host Pierre made sure to check on us and see to it that we were enjoying our stay. Overall it was a very relaxing and wonderful stay.

IrelandAfter about 4 days the food menu started being a little repetitive. Fish of the day for example was sea bass the every time I asked.
Great attentive staff, stunning area, food was great (it’s not the fancy fine dining that you can find in Cartagena - although they do have things like lobster - but for a tiny island where everything has to come by boat it was excellent). They really helped us navigate some complicated logistics for onward travel, and we did numerous excursions that were all fun and organised. Scuba diving is amazing in that area too. All in all it was one of the most wonderful places we’ve ever been.
