Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

SwitzerlandThe bedrooms are quite basic (but clean) and don’t have windows. But that doesn’t matter as you have the lovely garden area and it’s cheap. Puerto Plata itself is really not worth visiting. If you are arriving or leaving from the airport better to stay in Cabarete.
A little haven of peace and tranquility in a busy town. Really lovely owner who gives good advice and makes sure you don’t get ripped off with taxis etc. Great breakfast and big fresh water containers to fill your bottles. Gorgeous garden and pool area and nice place to chill for solo travellers. It’s within walking distance from the colonial area and main attractions - and thank goodness - a world away from the big all inclusive hotels and cruise ships.

United Arab EmiratesThe only minor inconvenience was that the shower head has seen better days, only half of the beam worked. However water temperature and pressure were great and it got the job done.
The house is beautiful and the garden super peaceful, a gorgeous place to stay. The breakfast was delicious, home made eggs, fresh fruit, bread and juice served in the garden. There is a fridge if you want to keep your own food. The beach, city centre, shops and restaurants are all walkable distance. And Francia is super helpful and accommodating, she assisted us so much in getting a tour organized and even helped me to translate and communicate with my Uber driver

United States of America- Accepts only cash, no credit card (but this is common outside of Santiago and Santo Domingo) - Some mosquitoes in the common check-in area (but the host has mosquito repellent available)
- Francis, the host, was extremely kind, attentive and informative- she basically planned my entire itinerary for the whole stay and even told me the price that locals pay for gua gua and moto taxis- amazing! - The room had air conditioning and was located in the back (room did not have windows), so I did not hear too much motorcycle noise - The shuttle bus to Samaná departs in front of the hotel, really convenient - House rules include no parties and no local strangers coming off the street, very secure and safe - Breakfast was light and healthy, a lot of fruit, she even prepared breakfast for me an hour early because I had a tour - The host woke up early at 5:30am to send me off to Las Terrenas - Clean room and property I would highly recommend staying here! What a lovely family.

United States of AmericaThere was a very large common-room where you could watch TV, adjacent to the bedrooms, and there were tables in there for breakfast, should the weather not be cooperative enough to enjoy it outside in the garden area. The room was cavernous, which meant it echoed, so once breakfast was being served, from 8:00 onward, the sound coming from the dining area would most likely wake you up, as it did me. There's a door that separates the bedrooms from the dining area, so I closed it, but it seems the staff kept reopening it (?), which meant you don't get to sleep past 8:00 AM. It would have been nice if they took this into consideration.
It was centrally-located, yet felt away from the city because of it's lush surroundings. The room was basic, but nice and clean, with a nice big bathroom. The breakfast was very good. The owners were on-site and pleasant.
