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.).

SpainSuper friendly staff, with an amazing pool with views. Small size (only 6 rooms) made it perfect to enjoy the facilities and common areas. Breakfast was made at the moment and it was delicious and very generous. Access to.the beach is a few steps away, but not longer than 10 minutes, as well as some of the main places to eat/drink in the area.

United StatesStunning views. We liked the size of the hotel, not too big or small. Breakfast on the veranda was lovely. We took advantage of the pool and the surrounding area for some incredible stargazing. The room was comfortable, A/C was great at night. Bathroom was beautiful. There was a lot to like! We had a motorcycle which made getting back and forth to the beach/town really easy.

United StatesI didn't have any issues personally, but could see how some people might not like the occasional bug in the shower. The hotel is not trying to poison the environment, so you might see a few here and there. This is part of nature. We stayed during low season, and didn't hear any construction others have complained about.
Loved this hotel. Wish we could have stayed longer. Staff was great. Very attentive, and at the same time gave us lots of privacy. Breakfast was terrific. Amazing views and great pool. We loved they had some pets on site as we missed our fur babies at home. Easy to get to the other towns, but we had a small car to get around (they have a few parking spots). They can arrange a taxi if you don't want to walk.

United KingdomThis beautiful small hotel has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It was our first time in Mexico and we couldn’t have picked a better place to visit the Oaxaca coast for the first time. Everything is to a very high standard, from the rooms to the pool area to the delicious breakfasts, the staff are incredibly friendly. The view is epic and it is a short walk down in to town.

IsraelThe fact you had to walk 200 stairs, but as said, the views are definitely worth it
Everything was great! Both the location and the staff were amazing. The breakfast was delicious and the views were spectacular. We had the upper room, where it's like a little apartment- with a kitchen, 2 rooms, and big showers. We enjoyed the fact it was off the main beach, but take into consideration it is a 5-7 min walk up the hill, for us it was definitely worth it!

A beautiful spot with incredible views. Charming and beautiful with just the right amount of attention. A real feeling of being at home with attentive and lovely host Silvia. We loved it for one night. Paired back and very comfortable. Close to the beach and everything you need.

United StatesThere isn't anything I would not change
The property is pristine, situated on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean, the design of this hotel reminded me of a beautiful place I stayed in Greece. It's got major Mediterranean vibes. Our room was poolside and it was quiet, peaceful, we woke up to the sound of waves in the mornings. Casa Kalmar is super small yet you never see much of the people who are staying here, it is so private and you feel like you have the entire villa to yourself.

United StatesAmazing property with incredible views. It’s not right on the beach and there are some stairs that take a little bit of energy to get back up, but the view and cooling breeze is totally worth it!! The rooms are so comfortable, no problems with the AC, wifi, hot water, or water pressure. And the staff was soo nice! The included breakfast is amazing. And I loved the snacks and alcohol that you can take on the honor system :)

The entire staff was very hospitable but I really want to thank Chawndra in particular who made the stay so special! Her warmth, kindness and attentiveness made us feel so welcome every second of the stay :) The property is the perfect blend of relaxing and calming with proximity to the hussle and bussle of the nearby Zipolite main section. The secluded stairway to town also has incredible scenic views so it’s a beautiful stroll into city!
