Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesNot so much dislike - however the breakfast appeared to be fresher on Monday morning as opposed to Sunday morning.
The room and most importantly the bed was Very comfortable (and I am hard to please!). The location is perfect, just about a 10 minute walk to Paseo de Montejo so very convenient to numerous dining options and shopping. The pool was lovely.

United KingdomA few areas needing improvement meaning I can't give 5 stars. The hotel had no ironing board, regularly ran out of pool towels and offered no alternative milks at breakfast. These are all easy fixes and would have made our stay perfect!
Magical place in which we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We stayed in the Isabella room on the ground floor which was great. I'd definitely recommend to others.

FranceThe water pressure for the shower was quite low - at least in our room (which was in the upper level). Moreover, I would suggest slightly heating to the pool so you can use it after the sunset.
The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The patio with the swimming pool is charming. The breakfast was good and the staff helpful,

United StatesThe hot water ran out after filling up the bathtub.
We loved our stay at el Palacito. Once you cross the lobby it feels like you are in a different place, it is really peaceful with the trees and the fountain sounds on the background. Looks like each room is unique, we stayed at the Isabella room and really liked it, there is a big bathtub besides the shower. The included breakfast is pretty good: fruit, pancakes, coffee, and a entrée of your choice. The bed was huge and very comfortable
