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 StatesPoor communication when restaurants were closed, didn’t respond to emails prior to arrival, the very long windy road to get there (hello carsickness), the teen zone didn’t open until 6pm (kids would have taken a break from the sun and played ping pong during the day).
It was beautiful, lots of choices for food, pool was nice, right on the beach

United StatesRoom wasn't clean, old pipes in the walls making loud sounds all night. Worst of all, the sales pitching. I thought I was at a time share. Really aggressive with trying to sale more vacations and experiences. It was too much, and off putting. The liquor was soooo watered down. It was absurd. Made me questions if I was even drinking alcohol. Overall this resort is a pass, I would book elsewhere
The monkeys. The staff, outside of the sales team which was pushy and overbearing. The pools where nice. Gift shop was nice, had lots of items to chose from. The bell boys and wait staff was very attentive

United Statesthat half was rented to an I Dian family wedding that took up half of my vacation blasting their music. not relaxing at all. dining was invaded with their noise. every resort activity was hardly heard through it. they brought their own chef so the spices permeated through the resort and pool area. horrible experience my 1st 3 nights. also the hibachi style restaraunt clearly stated reservations 24hrs prior and on Tuesday they said it was booked through Saturday which was the end of our stay. likely the middle eastern wedding people bought that out
with covid restrictions lifting the entire resort is available.

United Statesscaffolding up half the trip. man leaning against 2nd floor balcony scaffolding for 4 days without warning. hotel said they could do nothing, so lost access to balcony for over half the trip. kayaks can’t be used for entire trip due to staff creating lies so they do not have to work. They restock nothing. not even toilet paper so you have to continuously call for things. service is horrible and much of the staff is not gay friendly. this is so far from everything so it’s hard to experience Costa Rica
it was pretty. breakfast buffet is good
