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 StatesReally just some odd customer service things… we were there for our 10 year wedding anniversary (which I let them know ahead of time). I booked massages, and when we asked about being in one room, they said we would have needed to let them know ahead of time… well I think if someone is booking an anniversary trip and asks for massages, maybe you should ask if they want them together at that point? I’d just assume a couples massage would be together. Also, our actual anniversary was on the night we ate dinner at the hotel (food was outstanding) but they didn’t even acknowledge it… thought that was really weird for an upscale resort. Anyway, we’d stay again, but just lower our expectations as it relates to service/communication.
Really beautiful property and the rooms were so spacious. Some of the staff was outstanding! Great access to the beach.

The property was beautiful and lush with lots of howler monkeys and resident cats to make the stay fun! Room was comfortable and staff very helpful and kind. Amazing instructors for yoga and functional fitness classes!

United KingdomMinor issue, but the breakfast would benefit from a review .
We really enjoyed our stay, the seascape and beach error is wild and beautiful. While I was there I had a health problem and the hotel's response was amazing. They could not have been more helpful, in particular, Gabrielle, a member of the night staff was exceptional. The problem was minor in the scale of things, but a huge thank you to Gabrielle and other staff members.

United StatesThese do not out way the positives by any means. But since you asked... Possibly the worst coffee we've ever had from a 4-5 star hotel. No "Do Not Disturb" signs for rooms. And a narrow housecleaning regiment that doesn't account for late afternoon, evening issues. And the breakfast was good - not great. Some of the offerings we found lacking, but I'm being overly picky.
The location was wonderful. Very short walk to a not-so-crowded beach. The surrounding "jungle" was teaming with birds, coatis, howler monkeys and cats. The pool, the cocktails were great. The shower in our room was magnificent. The staff were always pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomThey seem to let people who aren’t staying in the hotel use the pool? There were some very noisy American children there on 1 day who were ex pats from the USA. A sea view would be perfect but difficult to achieve and sea was only a short walk away.
Luxurious boutique hotel - one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in.

United StatesMore yoga times....not so early!
Pool was a great temperature and open 24 hours! Nice to do night swims. Breakfast buffet was amazing. Always different, local choices, which I like. French press coffee, omelettes , huevos rancheros, and pancakes, all make to order. Different juices each morning. Complimentary Cocktails at sunset (5:00 when we were there) down at the beach. Nice, tropical landscaping. Beautiful rooms. Very friendly front desk staff and servers. The room had both a ceiling fan and an airconditioner that was able to keep up the humidity. Beds comfortable. Plenty of beach towels. We had a car, otherwise 20 minute walk to town. Some nice restaurants near by. At at hotel for dinner twice. Amazing ceviche prepared with our caught Mahi Mahi.
