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 reviewlocation, staff and coziness of the hotel. We forgot something in the room and they kindly called us and reminded us, so, we went and picked It up. It was very nice of them.
the rooms and bathrooms could have been cleaner. Some of the white towels had brown stain on them. I did not want to make a fuss so I didn't say anything to the hotel staff.
Dear Sara, thank you so much for your great review! :) We’re glad we could help you with your forgotten items. We take your feedback about the rooms and towels seriously and will pass it on to our housekeeping team. :) We hope to see you back with us soon! Kindest regards Lina Pura Vida Hotel

Verified reviewThe hotel exceeded my expectations! The location is amazing, it’s 5 minutes from the sea and close to a nice cafe. I had birthday and the staff surprised me with a bottle of Sekt and a plate of fruits for breakfast. The breakfast itself was also great, with scrambled eggs, yogurt and a big variety of fruits, cheese, and nuts. The spa area is very relaxing.
Dear Pura Vida Guest, thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear that our location, just minutes from the sea, and our breakfast offerings exceeded your expectations. :) We're especially glad you enjoyed the birthday surprise from our team. It’s wonderful to know you found our spa area relaxing as well. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! :-) Best regards, Lina Pura Vida Hotel

Verified reviewThe location was great with a short walk to the beach. The bed was comfortable, leaning towards the firm side. There was a nice breakfast available every morning. The cleaning staff in the room did a great job. Loved the shower and the space in the bathroom. It was nice having a suite with a separate space form the bedroom to hang out.
I felt the bed was on the almost too firm side and I hated the pillows. They were way too soft and fluffy, no substance to them. The room was super warm all the time. Opening the windows didnt help because it didnt face the direction the breeze was coming from. They could really use a fan or air conditioning. I can't imagine this on a hot summer day.

Verified reviewClean and newly furnished hotel. In terms of the rooms itself, it was perfect. Nothing to complain. The self check in booths were ideal for guests who may arrive late at night.
The hotel did not give any grace period upon checking out. They refuse to accommodate to the guest needs. Asking for just 30 mins grace period was a no-go. Unfortunately it is not tourist-friendly, especially if you are not from Germany. Phone chargers etc were not available upon request. Breakfast was sufficient in variety for one morning but I would not stay here for more than 3 days.
Dear Florian, thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your impressions. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, regarding check-out flexibility and the availability of additional amenities. Unfortunately we cannot offer a late check out due to time constraints. We have charging cables for cell phones, but unfortunately not for everyone, we are sorry that we could not offer you one. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you still had a pleasant stay with us. :) We would be delighted to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an even better experience. :-) Best regards Lina Pura Vida Hotel
