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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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's hard to think of something we didn't like about the hotel. As an FYI, the little food place at the hotel closes at 2:30pm so keep that in mind if you want to grab something to eat between lunch and dinner.
This is quiet and private boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. We're a family with 2 little ones and the extra space, kitchen, terrace, and outdoor area were great for our needs. From the carefully-thought design to the food options to the private beach - The Boardwalk Hotel was the best place we could have asked for and I highly recommend it to couples and families as one. In addition, the staff was super nice, assisting with grocery shopping that got there before our arrival, providing beach toys for the kids, and offering recommendations for restaurants and activities. Location is a 3-minute walk from the Ritz which allows you to use their beach facilities (+15% on food & drinks). Some other nice restaurants and beaches are ~15 minutes away by foot and many others are 5-15 minutes by car.

RomaniaIn a tropical garden there will be... mosquitoes - some days better, some days worse; upstairs casitas are probably better than ground-level ones if you want to spend time on your little patio/ balcony. Wi-Fi worked excellently inside, but patchy on the balcony.
It is a lovely hotel, with a "tropical garden" feel, located a very short walk from the beach. Great swimming pools and very good breakfast and lunch options with Eduardo's. I really liked the individual "casita" concept, especially in Covid times. Staff were very helpful with all questions and requests.

United StatesThe bed in the room was too firm. No give at all, too dense.
The entire layout of the Casita, plus the walk in full shower is perfect. Color and location make it feel like a home away from home.

SlovakiaOne should watch by final bill what has been charged by eduardos food, we were charged for alcohol drinks, even we never drink any alcohol.
Casitas placed in the garden, rooms are amazing, clean, spacy, well equiped with all one needs including bodylotion, kitchenware and bottle of cold water in the fridge. Beds comforable. Breakfast fresh and tasty. Beach is 5 min walking distance. If we return to Aruba, we will for sure book again.

United StatesThe little Casitas R private &a wonderful place 4a coffee and a cigar in the evenings. Noone could possibly be bothered b/c the distance is ample and the sea breeze always brisk. All neighbors were lovely 4weeks but then someone choose to be offended &complained. Every evening this same guest went on her veranda to enjoy using her phone to fight w/ a BF. She was loud and swearing across the grounds disturbing the peaceful evenings for a week. This was ok but a cigar was not smh lol....im glad she didnt complain about the aroma's of the coffee.
The grounds R beautiful and well kept 😁The staff was amazing - i mean truely beautiful people😁Beach Primo ⛱breakfast unique &healthy😁Very private😁Casitas are Muy Bonita😁Cleaning staff so very kind and attentive!
