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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Very close to the beach, nice staff and very well maintained property. The hotel is right at the entrance of Santa Teresa. There isn’t any restaurant at the property but several excellent options at walking distance.

The hotel is perfectly situated at the start of the town so you never have to travel on the dusty main road with all the traffic. The staff was just incredible- from Astrid and David at the front desk ensuring we had the most amazing stay to the wonderful staff in the beautiful breakfast area with a free breakfast that included 3 made-to-order delicious options. The hotel includes parking which is key in such a congested area and is steps from the gorgeous Santa Teresa/Carmen beach which are basically the same beach. I strongly recommend staying at this incredible boutique hotel. You will LOVE it!!

United StatesGet rid of the pigeons… I know it is hard. I forgot to tell you that outside of our room, 304, behind the air conditioner, there is a pigeon on a nest you could get rid of… another note on that subject - the CDs and hawks statues do work but with the hawks in particular - they work better if you move them once a week.
Breakfast was good. Carmen was good. Staff was great.

CanadaEverything was great but sometimes the housekeeping would come later in the day instead of the morning.
The location was amazing. Lots of good places to eat nearby and right next to the beach. Staff were very friendly and willing to help. There were also a couple grocery stores nearby where you could buy snacks. Pool was lovely and the free coffee in the lobby was great.

Great little hotel. Gorgeous pool area. Great amenities, lovely spa with 10% off. Staff were super knowledgeable about the area, made restaurant reservations for us in advance (we spoke via whatsapp). Close to beach and they provide beach towels! There was a problem with our air conditioner in the first room we stayed in and they immediately moved us to a new room.

Peaceful and quiet at night. The Internet was excellent to work with. They allowed me to check in earlier than usual. This hotel is a gem.
