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.).

PortugalUnfortunately it rained a lot and we had to change rooms , we realized that our first room wasn't complete.. we didn't have half of the amenities and also we didn't have the bottles of alcohol that are included in the platinum. The shower was really flimsy and if you have curly or coily hair you can't get it wet. On Booking they mention the payment is to be done in dollars but when you get there they say that it is actually in Dominican pesos, which we were not ready for. Also, take your own body wash because theirs sucks. We had food poisoning from going to the teppanyaki restaurant and if you really like Italian food don't go to il tartufo they let us wait for our food for around 1 hour to end up tasting really awful 😞
We spent almost all the time on the platinum beach side and the bar team was amazing, the food at the P.G.B, Gaucho and Soho was really tasty.. all the steaks were really good

Dominican RepublicThe restaurant a la carte, food was not hot, and tasted just like the buffet, noting extraordinary about it The room did not felt clean and water was not really hot for showering Th quantity of water in the surroundings that generated mosquitos Most of the employees were not with servicing attitudes, they were respectful but trying to just get you out of the way.
The beach was beautiful, the room layout, the animals and how everyone respected them. The Hispaniola buffet was good, the ice cream truck, the relaxing pool was very good and also the Pub 24/7 The live bands were very good

BrazilNoisy, especially the cleaning people but also the ever ongoing traffic on the internal roads. The apartments were not really clear and there was absolutely no consistency between days on when and what got cleaned, it felt they just did something (lack of good management and structure). Also annoying that every single day (the whole day) they kept the dirty cleaning car next to our entrance of the apartment. Lastly the inconsistency between the drinks in all the bars. Nothing was ever the same.

CroatiaRoom service from the side of making it up. Often, we got all towels like at 17hrs which is quite late. Sometimes we had towel for face, another day no. Same thing with shampoo. E.g. on our second week of stay, we suddenly got hand shampoo which was quite weird. :) Also, rooms are not vacuumed. Minibar was not working as it should. Issue reported but after 'fixing' everything was the same so expect to have bottle of water, two cans of beer, two coca cola and two sprite to be cold only after 24+ hours. Room had quite weird smells like chlorine, source as we understood was water pipes from bathroom. Sometimes, in the restaurant, if you order some drinks it can also have taste on chlorine, didn't drink those drinks. On the side of facilities, beach. Sellers on the beach are very, very, very boring and assertive. You can expect like 30+ asking if you want to buy cigars, have massage or similar stuff. Really annoying stuff that from my perspective, breaks the calmness of the rest and experience of the beach.
In general, everything was fine and actually very good. Beach was great. Rooms are big and for sure enough space for everything. All meals were great, variation of them exists but usually 70°% of meals are the same. Since we are not very demanding guests, expect from elementary stuff, everything was suitable. Wilderness inside of the resort was extraordinary, peacocks, geese, ducks and the rest of the 'wild company' for us, gave additional experience. Also, resort is fully clean and maintained. We stayed for 3 weeks.

United StatesSo, I am not a buffet person. I get nauseated by all the food and people hovering around. Although the breakfast buffet was pretty good (for a buffet), the lunch buffet was stressful. We got snacks at the food truck and took them to the beach. There are tiny mosquitoes, no screens on the sliders. So bring bug spray or pay an exorbitant amount at the shop. Sunscreen is $40, a bag of chips $12 (and so on). Nothing was a big problem really.
This place was excellent for the money I paid. The beach is practically perfect. The sea... Perfect. The pool is kind of a scene, particularly in the later afternoon. Lots of partying. But there are so many places to hang out if you want quiet. I think there was a whole other pool. The food was good. Not amazing but very good. There are lots of choices. Our room was large and very pleasant. Sort of modern. Lovely bathroom. The restaurants were all very enjoyable. The staff were lovely. The grounds are kept beautifully. The coffee shop is also a pleasant surprise. It's a really massive resort and we walked a ton which we liked, but there's also a shuttle. Lots of birds and a few kitties. We enjoyed them! Peacocks.sound like dying children but you get used to it. Lol
