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.).

NetherlandsWestern breakfast options could improve. Even though the hotel was not full we had to wait 10 minutes to be able to check in, be seated for breakfast and to check out. Pool food is of low quality and way overpriced. overall the service should be much better and is not up to standard. There is a lot of staff, but they just stand there and not doing much and not being pro-active. Exception is the breakfast staff.
Nice facilities and comfortable rooms. Breakfast staff does a good job.

ChinaThe Villa deck could have used some updates (many loose boards). Also, there were many trees surrounding the villa pool. This made it hard to get sunlight on the pool maybe consider cutting/trimming some of them down.
Overall, my stay at the Ritz was very enjoyable and relaxing! The food was delicious and the beach is nice. Jarvis, my butler, was very accommodating and always made sure we had everything we needed. Also, the AYI’s who were in charge of cleaning the villa 李丹丹 and 池芳娟 were great! They worked very hard and made the villa clean and tidy everyday even when it was short staffed. This was my second time at the Ritz and it was wonderful.

ChinaThis was our second visit to Ritz Carlton. The service level was just exceptional. The staff working there like William, Nanncy, Mikael, Lynn and many others just stood out for us. The service level compensated any other short comings. Our flight was on 6 August back to Shanghai, the staff namely William took exception actions to support us to get to the airport. Even though our flights were eventually cancelled due to Sanya lock down.

Chinaall about the Rooms is great. bfast is great too but the rest of F&B is overrated!.. and poor. sand grill is total rip-off. poor Caesar salads, trio fish.. it’s barely above family mart (sorry). Italian fine dining is also average for the prices. better go to Capella for a nice dinner.
great location if you want a beach. do play volley ball! the staff will be happy to play with you. it’s a massive place . 450 rooms. bfast can be busy but flow is well organized.

Chinaroom is not soundproof. two big noisy events on Saturday without any information to guests. Friday building up frames and lights for this two events let us feel like being on a construction site instead at a nice pool area. Also smoking on breakfast terrace shouldn’t happen, especially for a family friendly hotel. pool for kids was very cold and life guard was quite unfriendly that we understood why no one is here and we went back to normal pool. first and last stay for us in Ritz-Carlton Sanya.
Hotel and room were nice and clean. breakfast buffet was very good.

ItalyBreakfast super nice. Would suggest to add hash brown The seafront beach is very narrow, dont know if it's because season tide. Seabed in front of the sea would be perfect but i guess not enough space. Anyway staff provide beach mat to keep belongings clean while swimming or sunbathing. Room is big, with modern facilities and big balcony, perfect!

ChinaHonestly everything was great this time. The weather was not great as there was a typhoon over the island but it was still a great holiday.
The location is really beautiful and the facilities are excellent. But above all the hotel staff are amazing! They go to endless lengths to ensure you have a great time and are always polite, friendly and professional. Honestly can't speak highly enough of them- especially Naancy one of the guest service reps!

ChinaWould have liked our room to be more central. Two small cockroaches appeared in our bathroom(it was a ground floor room). The pillows were very high which was a bit uncomfortable. As a family-friendly hotel it felt full of kids at times, might be nice to offer adulty only pools/times as there are a few different pools. Small minuses overall
Great breakfast- good gym, pools with sea view. Huge room with very comfy bed and large terrace. They were flexible with our check-out time and gave us late check out which was very nice. Very friendly and accommodating pool and bar staff.

ChinaThere were things that we were not told. ex. the minibar is included. There are no actual beach chairs on the beach. They said a car was included. We could never get it. Many of the restaurants were booked up. However, when we went to one at 8:00 Pm it was empty. There was one other table.
We loved staying on the club floor. The food and service were terrific. The beach was lovely and clear water.

FranceStaff' service and attitude are not bad, but it is simply not as good and professional as what you would expect from a luxury hotel such as Ritz Carlton: - very poor service for breakfast - waiting line was chaotic - took them one hour to serve drinks at bar while they had plenty of staff and very few customers. But they were just standing there and chatting to each other, forgetting they were supposed to prepare cocktails we ordered. We had to ask 3 times - they let kids playing and throwing balls violently right at the swimming pool. Accident can so easily happen... Took them literally 40min before asking kids to stop
It is a nice resort

ChinaNo one at the hotel speaks English. Only one manager at breakfast time was able to speak with us. We had to communicate with the staff using our phone translator, unbelievable in a Ritz-Carlton chain hotel. The service was terrible, they were even rude to us sometimes. We had dinner in the lobby restaurant and the waitresses by mistake brought 3 cocktails to the table instead of two (it was her mistake, not ours). we asked her to leave the cocktail there to fill up a little bit more our glasses (the Margaritas we got were literally less than half of the glass.. a complete rip-off) and she said in a very rude way: NO! later she throws the drink in the sink in front of our faces. on purpose obviously, she wants us to see that, unbelievable.!! A person like that cannot be working in a Ritz hotel or not even in a B & B. guests deserve some respect... When you pay a fortune for a room, for a glass or wine or for having dinner there, you expect other kind of treatment. it took us more than 2 hours to have our dinner ready and all the dishes came at different time. this means that when some of us already finished our food, other people in the group didn’t have they courses yet. not to mention the prices at the restaurant, very expensive and the quality was terrible... In sume, it was the worst experience at a Ritz Hotel ever. if you are staying at Yalong Bay, try Marriott. much better service and nicer staff. on the other hand, that part of the beach it’s no nice, it has not sun beds in front of the sea like the other hotels in Yalong Bay (Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, MGM) but definitely the best hotel in Sanya: CLUB MED. Foreigners are welcome there, if you’re not Chinese, Ritz is not your place. they treat us as a second class citizen...
nothing. the experience was so bad that I cannot tell anything I really like
