How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEverything about this trip was just perfect. The flights were quick, comfortable, and on time. The car rental was smooth, and the drive to Hibiscus Beach House was enjoyable. The hosts are incredible, and the location is perfect—quiet, 3m from the beach, which was relaxing. The restaurants on the shore and in the city are all amazing. The hostess recommended we visit a local festival, and we had the time of our lives. She was very caring, like we're her kids. The host was also super helpful, and both are amazingly positive people. They know how to run this kind of business. I wouldn't change anything about this trip.
We are so happy to hear that your trip was completely perfect! We truly enjoyed your company—it felt like having family with us. It warms our hearts to know that our tips and care were appreciated. Thank you for letting us be part of your memories. Warm regards, Diana & Martin

Verified reviewWe received a very warm welcome, immediately it felt like our second home. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great colorful décor and a nice soft bed. It was all very clean. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a huge variety of options! Diana made scrambled eggs, american pancakes, banana pancakes etc for us and everyday we got different fresh smoothies. Diana and Martin were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable, we could lend snorkel stuff and they gave us the best tips for discovering the island. It is 2 min walking to the supermarket and 5 min walking to the beach. Altogether, it was a perfect holiday for us! Definitely coming back!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you felt at home the moment you arrived, making our guests feel comfortable and cared for is what we love most about hosting. It’s great to know that the rooms, breakfast, and colorful little touches around the house added to your enjoyment. We had so much fun preparing your pancakes, scrambled eggs, and fresh smoothies, and it’s lovely to hear that our tips and snorkel gear helped you make the most of the island. Knowing that everything from the beach to the supermarket was so conveniently close makes us even happier that your holiday felt seamless and relaxing. Warm regards, Diana & Martin

Verified reviewDiana and Martin were very warm and welcoming and provided lots of information on getting around Curaçao. Everything we needed was provided (beach towels, snorkel gear), rooms were very clean and although we only used the AC when in the room in the evening/night, it was very strong. We didn't use the pool and outdoor area but it looked very clean and relaxing. The location was perfect if you want to stay in Jan Thiel. Close to the main road, Jan Thiel beach, restaurants and a supermarket. WiFi worked well. Would definitely recommend!
The bed was a little too soft for us (but it's a personal preference!) Everything else was perfect
We’re so glad you felt our warm welcome and hospitality—that’s what we aim for! We’re happy the rooms and outdoor area appealed to you and that the location worked well for your stay. We completely understand that the bed can be a matter of personal preference—hopefully the rest of your stay was enjoyable enough to make up for it. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Verified reviewHibiscus Beach House is in a great location. Only about 30 min from the airport and walking distance to Jan Thiel beach. The property is super cute.
It felt like I was staying at my mother’s house with a lot of rules. If you didn’t get to breakfast right at 8am, all the items were picked through and you got what was left. I asked for a blanket and clean sheets and the host said, “Wow, you have a lot of demands.”
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you liked our location and the charm of Hibiscus Beach House. We strive to provide clear guidelines to ensure a comfortable stay for all our guests, including breakfast timing and AC use. We are sorry if our communication came across as strict, as our intention is always to offer a pleasant and well-organized experience. Your comments will help us improve how we communicate with guests in the future.

Verified reviewDiana and Martin are super welcoming and helpfull. The garden is a nice quite place to relax if you want to get away from the bustling Jan Thiel beach area for a bit. A super relaxing start of the day to have breakfast by the garden! The location is great, just a short walk from the beach. Go to this place if you want to stay at Jan Thiel but prefer a quieter, more beautiful, and more personal stay than all the big resorts around.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewThe Hibiscus beach house is located in a very nice area in Jan Thiel. It was very close to the beach, public transportation and other facilities. Diana and Martin were great hosts. They were very warm and welcoming and made our stay quite enjoyable. Great options for breakfast and we enjoyed the fresh juices we were treated to and the pancakes Diana would make on some mornings. We felt as though we were staying with relatives. I also liked the intimacy of the space as the facility only accommodates a handful of guests at any one time. This is definitely a space to check out when you want a great place to stay in Curacao.
Everything was perfect.
We’re so happy to hear you felt so welcome during your stay and enjoyed the fresh juices and pancakes! We hope these memories stay with you for a long time and that we can welcome you back soon!

Verified reviewThis is a great B&B for peaceful and relaxing time in Curacao. It's located near Jan Thiel Beach (3-4 min walk). There are 5-6 restaurants at the beach. Also, dutch supermarket is 2 min away, where you can get fresh orange juice, croissants, and pastries. I liked that everything was in walking distance. The owners of the Hibiscus Beach house, Martin and Diana, are very friendly and welcoming. They provided information about sightseeings, restaurant recommendations, and an introduction about Curacao. It was great to have continental breakfast in the morning (8-10 am) and a fresh cap of cappuccino. On top of that, after 2 nights, I got room upgrade to a bigger room with pool & garden access. Martin&Diana can organize you a transfer to and from the airport and you can rent a car here as well It was a pleasant stay and a nice retreat here. Thanks again, Martin & Diana!
I wish there were fewer mosquitoes and mosquito screens on the windows. Mosquitoes are everywhere on the island. They ate me non-stop, spray, or no spray ;(( It would be great if door locks were automatic or with a code, so you don't need to unlock and lock them with different keys every time you are in and out.
Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review! We're glad you enjoyed our tips and the breakfast. Regarding the mosquitoes, we understand they can be bothersome despite our efforts. Your suggestions about mosquito screens and automatic locks are very valuable, and we will definitely look into them. We hope to welcome you back sometime soon!
