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 StatesThe mattress wasn’t very comfortable, and the linens smelled of humidity. Would be much better if the kitchen were stocked with the basics (salt, pepper, cooking oil).
Great location between Willemstad and the beautiful beaches of western Curaçao. The owner and groundskeeper are really nice, and it’s awesome that the accommodation comes with beach passes for Blue Bay.

CanadaXanadu is an absolutely fabulous 12 unit apartment complex within the gated community of Blue Bay. Our unit was a two bedroom, two bath apartment with a full kitchen and AC throughout. Ravi is a very accommodating and gracious host. His happy hour parties are not to be missed. Less than a 10 minute walk is the fully serviced beach of Blue Bay. Our only regret is not staying for 3 weeks.

CanadaWe loved everything about our stay. Ravi the owner was the best host we have encountered in all our years of travel. He is truly kind and gracious. The Xanadu property is well located within the upscale Blue Bay resort and an easy walk to the beach with complementary access to the beach club. The apartment is brand new, elegant and offered excellent A/C and WIFI throughout. We enjoyed many meals on the spacious outdoor balcony overlooking the beautiful pool. Blue Bay is centrally located on the island and offers easy access to the beaches on the west coast as well as the city center.

CanadaWe had no issues, there was nothing we didn't like about the experience, the grounds and suites are modern, clean and well maintained.
Far more than a typical resort experience, outstanding hosts, very much a personal "family" culture, very welcoming and friendly, plenty of local knowledge and advice, we would strongly recommend the experience!

NetherlandsI travelled 8000 km to escape Christmas and therefore had to disappoint the owner who kindly invited me to a Christmas spirit celebration at the pool bar. Apparently expectations were present.
My early morning walk to the sea, the snorkeling and the coffee on the beach. The appartment was only 200 meters or so away. Spacious rooms, nice balcony with a nice view and easy parking next to the apartment's door.

Ravi, the owner, was so kind and accommidating and made us feel right at home and provided us with invaluable recommendations. He also welcomed us to his bar and provided drinks on the house. I can't say enough about this place. We will 100% be staying here again when we return to Curacao!

BelgiumEspecially in humid weather, there are some small, almost invisible mosquitoes on the island that enjoy feasting on tourists and giving them itchy bites. In the evening, it's advisable to apply a 40% DEET product to exposed body parts when outdoors.
"It was our first encounter with Curaçao, so we were on the lookout for the perfect location and base to explore the island. I can immediately say that Blue Bay Beach Resort was, in many ways, the perfect choice for us. We stayed for 2 weeks in one of the beautifully decorated and tidy Xanadu apartments with a view of a private pool, a spacious balcony, and private parking. The location is ideal, just a 4-minute walk from the private beach. The entire crew is friendly and welcoming, but it's the warm personality of owner 'Ravi' that captivated us from the personal welcome. The man has a natural flair for connecting his guests - a delightful mix that spontaneously led to some 'magical' happy hours by the pool. Thank you, Ravi, for this highly appreciated personal touch!

Perfect apartment in a perfect location. The blue bay area is super nice and the apartments are only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Beach passes are included with the stay. Ravi, the apartment owner is a really nice guy and together with the other staff they made us feel at home. We were invited for some drinks as well, which really added to our stay. If we go to Curaçao again we will definitely go back to Xanadu!

SwitzerlandVery comfortable, spacious apartment with all the amenities one could need, in an upscale (tourist) neighborhood. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Nice swimming pool, never crowded during the week we stayed there. Short walking distance to the beach, entry to the beach included. The beach itself is nice, the water is very clear and the gulf is calm and good for swimming. We haven’t snorkeled there but there were a lot of people snorkeling and diving. Comfortable drive to the beautiful beaches of the northwestern side without having to cross Willemstad.
