How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Verified reviewMariela and her family are incredible hosts. I felt taken care of staying at their accommodation in a way that a typical hotel wouldn't do. They ensured that anything I wanted to do on the island, I knew how to do. Conversation with them helped me understand the history of the island and the people who live there. I felt like I was staying with family. I recommend that anyone coming to Providencia stay with them, specifically couples or solo travelers.
I only wish I could have stayed longer.

Verified reviewI was going for a diving week, and the diving center is very close. The stay was great, and also enjoyed the breakfast everyday that comes with famous Providencia cakes and tropical fruit

Verified reviewEverything! Mariela’s place is just amazing, from the setting to the rooms but most of all because of Mariela and her family. I had the most perfect stay I could ever imagine and staying here was what really made this such an unforgettable trip to Providencia. Being able to use the kitchen was so useful and you are just a short stroll from the beach.
Nothing - it was perfect!

Verified reviewMariela and her family are lovely hosts. The bed was big and comfy, the air-con worked perfectly. The room and bathroom were spotless. Clear communication over WhatsApp ahead of the stay.
The only thing to be aware of is that the guesthouse is up a bit of a hill - nothing drastic, but noticeable in the heat - and the neighbours' dogs can be a little "in your face" in case anyone is nervous around dogs.

Verified reviewBrisas del Sur was a lovely stay like being just at home with the warm welcome of Mariela and the whole family. It gave us a very interesting insight into their culture. Beyond that, the place was in a very practical location for us, between beaches and dive shop, in a calm area a bit out of the main arteries, and always super clean and cosy. We’re very thankful for the stay and welcome!

Verified reviewMariela does everything to give you a perfect time in her posada. Everything very clean and tidy. And she helps you with any extra service or activities you are interested in. The whole family is very sweet and it's a great opportunity to get in contact with a local family. The spot is perfect because you got one of the nicest beaches, restaurants and supermarkets in walking distance. There is also a kitchen which you can use in order to prepare your own meal. I can highly recommend Native Lodge Brisas del Sur :)

Verified reviewI spent 9 nights at the Native Lodge Brisas del Sur and hed an unforgetable experience. The host family, Mariela, Tano, Helen and Chadelaine were incredibly kind and made me feel welcomed from the minute I arrived. The service was unbelievably good - Mariela organised everything for me, whether it was the daily, delicious breakfast, a motorbike, airport transfer, restaurant information and so on (all at the effective costs, without any surcharges!) - I just had to tell her what I need. She really made sure that her guests have everything they need to experience unforgetable holidays in Providencia. The Lodge itself is located near the most beautiful beach of the island and many restaurants are nearby. It is generally very calm and not noisy at all apart from occasional barking dogs or roosters (which can be found all over the island). The room is very comfortable and is equipped with everything you need - a king size bed, fridge, a really large bathroom including a big wardrobe, and an air conditioning which worked perfectly. There is a TV as well, but I never used it. Mariella cleaned the room everyday and changed the towels and bed sheets every three days. Furthermore, thanks to the host family, I got to know the local culture, food, music, traditions and people more which completed my holiday experience. The Brisas Lodge del Sur exceeded my expecations by far. I can only recommend staying with Mariela and her family.
