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...).

CanadaLocation wise, it is a bit far from the main street but, it’s safe to walk around.
The staff were friendly and helpful especially David and the lady who assisted me on the day of my departure. My room was clean and comfortable. The location is a bit far from the main street but, it’s like 10 mins. walk to the harbour and the bus terminal. Also, the complimentary breakfast was good and delicious. I had a very relaxing stay in the hotel.

United StatesJust want a pool or cold outdoor spa becaue if is hot walking around Aruba but it's not a deal breaker.
I was surprized and relieved at the cute botique feeling of the hotel. While I understand it is under renovation, the staff made sure we were comfortable and informed. Breakfast was so lovely and delicious. The bathroom, while small, was new and very clean.

United StatesOnly one thing: their front entrance always looks dirty. Someone should wash the windows, their dusty front steps and the dirty sidewalk. Make it sparkle
That it is close to airport and cruise port and great for walking downtown, exploring the expensive waterfront ( think jewelry stores & fancy designer stores in Renaissance Mall i.e Dolce Gabana and Gucci). It is within minutes from Wilhelmina Straat where the best restaurants in Aruba are located: Los Gauchos, Suiker Tuintje, Arends Restaurant .

United StatesNothing! The hotel was a bit of a stretch of the leg to achieve the downtown, but the walk was level and well lit and I'm sure the location was part of the reason it was always very quiet.
I'm afraid I did not get the name of the young lady who attended the check in desk in the afternoons and evenings. She was an absolute gem! I hope that she receives the accolades she's earned. She gave me clear and helpful information and directions each day with regards to restaurants, museums, public transportation and even offered to come pick me up when I went out walking after dark and got myself lost! I called her to request a taxi for me, which appeared 5 minutes later. The room was on the ground floor, excellent hot water, and the restaurant and staff were delightful as well.

United StatesSomewhat noisy with barking dog periodically. Otherwise, very quiet on the 2nd floor. Tired of walking 0.7 mile from the Oranjestad Bus terminal back to hotel after a long day at the beach. Always stopped at the Renaissance Mall along the way to use their clean restrooms.
Excellent omelet breakfast made to order daily. Asked for a Ham & Cheese sandwich to go on last day to bring to airport. Clean rooms and lots of storage although small room. Hot showers. Modern bathroom. Easy local van from the airport that dropped me off in front of hotel for $2.60. On the return trip back to the airport, walked 2 blocks to get on Arubus past the NV ELMAR building on WilhelminaStraat to catch to the L2 southbound towards San Nicolas. Short walk 0.7 miles to the central bus terminal to catch a ride to all the beaches (Baby, Eagle, Palm, Arashi Beach). Supermarket around the corner where I picked up soda, juice and bananas. Short walk on their Main street to Djiespie's Restaurant off Caya G.G. Betuco Croes for deliciious pastelitos and a coffee shop next door.

ColombiaLove the location of this hotel, fully renovated building, room with aircon and fridge, the food at the restaurant was excellent. 10 min walking distance to the beach, Renaissance mall, Easy parking. The most valuable is the staff. Hanna, the receptionist, and Jairo, the manager, were always willing to help. Free water and coffee station at the terrace.

United StatesThis is a really cute little boutique hotel. Very welcoming. The outdoor common spaces are designed well and great for gathering for coffee in the morning drinks in the evening or playing cards. The breakfast was excellent and you could order off the menu. Staff was very accommodating. When we asked for extra pillows, they brought us new ones. The rooms are small but had everything we needed in them. It’s not on the beach and that’s really the only negative. However, we found out that at Surfside beach, which was within walking distance they had day passes. You could get chairs and an umbrella for 12.50 a person.
