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 reviewLuxury in the beach jungle. The beach is an absolute paradise and you can get a fisherman to take you to the nearest small islands

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made every morning feel like a dream. The place itself was super modern, spotless, and incredibly spacious, giving us all the comfort we could ask for. The beautiful pool was a definite highlight, perfect for a relaxing dip after a day in the sun. Everything about it made us feel like we were in paradise, and we honestly didn’t want to leave!
The only challenge was the road leading to the villa, it’s quite rough, so unless you’re experienced bike riders (we were) or up for an adventurous tuk-tuk ride, getting there can be a bit of a trek. - Hopefully the captain gets this sorted soon.

Verified reviewThe villa and also the beach and coffeeshop close to the villa were just perfect 😍
Nothing. At times the was some noise because they build something close to the villa, but we did not mind at all 😍

Verified reviewBeautiful decorated villa with a lot of attention for detail. The communication with Dadou went very smoothly. Nice swimming pool.
It’d be nice to have a proper sunbed at the swimming pool. The road to the villa is a bit rocky, which is not a big problem, but you do need a scooter of tuktuk to go up and down the villa.

Verified reviewAbsolutely enjoyed this amazing couple getaway in beautiful Santa Fe. The weather wasn’t the best but the villa offered everything what we needed for cozy and comfortable stay. The photos don’t reflect the true beauty of the place. Big kudos!

Verified reviewThis is the most beautiful accomodation we have ever stayed in! The level of detail and thought to finishing touches in the villa made it feel so luxurious and special. It’s spotless, bright, and spacious. The outdoor shower is incredible and a large, comfy bed! There is also a really great restaurant called Haolo just on the main road.
It is a little far from General Luna but we knew this and it meant it was very quiet and peaceful! We had a scooter and it took us approximately 20 mins to drive to restaurants, etc.
