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 Arab EmiratesThe resort is big and most time you would need to call a buggy to move around. Guests can enter with their own car, and this may cause some traffic noise during peak hours / seasons.
Our room had a gorgeous view of the volcano and a little patio where to sit and enjoy the landscape. The staff is extremely polite and attentive, always ready to assist the guests. In one occasion, while taking us from the lobby to the room, a staff member took us around the resort to show us a toucan and a sloth he saw earlier. There is a hot spring pool and some hot spring ponds for the guests to enjoy. We loved them, especially after a long day exploring the nature around. The restaurant has an optional vegan menu, for those interested in it.

United StatesI think the only breakfast feedback is that some of the pastries didn’t stay fresh in the heat, but that is minor. Rooms could use a little updating. WiFi was a bit weak, which would be an issue if we needed to work, but we were taking a vacation from that too.
Breakfast was great! We liked that the rooms had a sense of privacy. Kids loved the pool and the cheeseburgers.

United StatesVery little places to put clothes so we all had to live out of our suitcases as no dresser/drawers for folded clothes.
Beautiful property with amazing views of the volcano. Breakfast was exceptional. Wide variety of choices from omelettes to cereal to fruit and local specialties. Pool and hot springs were wonderful after a long day of exploring. Room was very nice with fridge, coffee maker, complimentary 4 water bottles and bathroom/shower supplies.

United StatesWe had a weird party smell coming from our bathroom that made it a bit uncomfortable. The staff tried to address it with air fresheners, but it didn't fully address the problem.
Although we were not able to enjoy the view of the mountains because of the rain and crowd, the property itself was beautiful and cosy. The sound and view of the birds made it feel like you were staying in the rainforest.

United StatesBeautiful grounds. Our room had a private garden and view of the volcano with our family nearby in the room next door. Delicious breakfast buffet with fresh fruit and omelette bar. We loved the pool with a swim up bar (great swim area for my 1.5 year old son). They made fresh fruit drinks with whatever they had on hand (watermelon, passion fruit, even apple for my son). The shuttle driver took us to see a sloth on the property and let us look / take pics through his binoculars. Pura vida!
