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.).

United StatesIt said there was hot water in shower and it did have some but it wasn’t consistent. Not a reason to be upset but if you really expect it then you may get disappointed.
I liked that it was tucked slightly off the main road, I think it helped cut down on traffic and restaurant noise. You could hear a little bit music but it was pretty faint. It has plenty of plants and trees. When you walk in it feels like you entered your own jungle at the beach. The rooms are cozy. WiFi was good.

This accommodation was super clean. 8 units with one common kitchen area with all the needed kitchen gadgets etc. Honor system beverage fridge where each beverage sold at 30 pesos. Stocked with beer and other beverages. Grounds immaculately kept. Relaxing pool & jacuzzi area. Best of all adults only so no children running around. Definitely a repeat visit in order for us. Sabrina & Ron, great hosts. Don't give this a second thought. You won't be disappointed. Loaded a tour video on YouTube. Link is https://youtu.be/o3sLHYsqA_Y?feature=shared

United StatesEverything was perfect! During the week it is definitely quieter and the beaches less crowded. My recommendation, if you can choose, weekend in Oaxaca City, weekdays in Puerto Esocondido.
Another traveler highly recommended this gem to me and I'm so glad I booked here! I have stayed in several parts of Puerto Escondido, but this is definitely the best place ever! For many reasons, not only for the wonderful host that provides you all the recommendations want. The location is just perfect - directly on Playa Zicatela beach, a short beach Playa Principal/Manzanillo/Angelito and another to loud and overhyped La Punta. It's charming, very quiet, safe and beautifully lit at night. The hotel offers a nice size pool surrounded by many beautiful flowers, there is a well-equipped communal kitchen plus a honor drink system. Everybody is warmly welcome. Spotless!

GermanyWe loved our stay and would have been happy to stay longer. Manuela was super helpful with recommendations - whatever you want to see or do or eat in town she has a quality recommendation you can trust. We organized a whale watching excursion through her contact and it was an amazing experience. Also they keep the place impeccably clean, and there are all these small touches about the place which make it a super comfortable and homey place to stay. Like there's a communal kitchen and fridge, coffee and tea if you want to make it, umbrellas and a cooler if you want to borrow it for a beach day, sunscreen and bug spray - everything we needed we had it there or the hosts pointed us in the right direction. It really feels like the kind of place set up by seasoned travelers who understand what you need to feel comfortable and stress free when you are away from home. We would happily stay there next time we are in Puerto Escondido!

United KingdomYes, there's a low hum of bass from the local strip but it wasn't terrible. And - helpful pointer - brown noise (thru an app) is a great tonic.
Manuela and her hubby were wonderful hosts. All the advice and local pointers we could hope for. The room was very comfortable. The pool area, a divine little oasis where we made endless friends to go on adventures with or just enjoy a beer together. We felt trusted, welcome and loved every minute.

Excellent central location off Zicatela beach up a laneway off the main drag so a little away from the hustle and bustle. Short stroll to many restaurants. Very clean overall and nice pool in which to cool off. Basic kitchen facility to make breakfast, or more, if desired. Beach towels provided.

Excellent location for exploring Puerto. We we able to walk to various areas of the city. There are many restaurants and bars nearby making eating out an easy choice. The owners have done an excellent job of creating an oasis within a busy area. The hotel caters to travelers versus tourists which led to many interesting conversations around the pool.

CanadaA beautiful oasis, just off the Zicatela strip, steps from the beach. Plants and flowers everywhere, bright and cheerful, beautiful pool. The best water pressure in the shower we’ve experienced in years, in the room as well as out out the pool. The owner, Manuela, is friendly and helpful, anything you want or need, she is there to assist. King size bed, a real bed, was so comfortable, we slept very well. Highly recommend.

AustriaGreat little gem super close to the beach. Only 8 rooms on site, quiet, peaceful, relaxing. The pool is clean, the rooms are clean, comfy, and decorations around the place are so adorable! The little kitchen has everything you need in case you want to prepare a snack or breakfast, and a huge fridge. There are drinks on site to purchase which is so convenient for a little late night drink by the pool. Be aware of the Karaoke club at the beach, which has a speaker facing the street (!) instead of the beach only, so the drunk singing can be heard until late at night. It is not hotels' fault, I slept like a baby and could fully rest.

This relaxed, perfect little hotel steps away from the beautiful Playa Zicaleta made us wish we had booked more nights. The rooms were quite comfortable. The owner, Manuela, was full of helpful advice on restaurants and easy taxi service to other parts of PE. We appreciated being able to grab a beer after a long bus ride and settle up at checkout. I particularly loved the ability to make a cup of good (free!) coffee in the morning because I wake up much earlier than my family and before local coffee shops are open. Sitting outside with coffee in the quiet morning hour was delightful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
