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.).

Canadathe staff at the front desk was not as friendly and willing to help. When I booked a taxi, I was told one price and the driver charged me double. I was a returning customer and was expecting some appreciation. The restaurant's food quality went dramatically down, the Japanese was so bad that we left right after the appetizers and the soup. the French was way too salty in every meal. won't be going back for sure.
the rooms were ok, but the shower water was not draining and the toilet was getting clogged.

Trinidad and TobagoThat the adult pools at amber closes at 6. We are adults. 9 pm should be of good time. They charged me for a room with a pool and then canceled. More than a week and I’m still waiting to be refunded and I paid for another room. I dislike that so many restaurants u could not eat at. That’s unfair. I think u should be able to use the entire premises. It’s not free
Beautiful. Awesome. Love the 24 hour room service and the wait was never long.

Canada- A little too crowded at times.
The activities are great and entertainment is at its best. Always something fun to do with the kids. The food was quite good ans with a large variety. The quality was OK give it was a buffet. The place is pretty and the kids really loved the castle and the night shows. The staff are very helpful, respectful, and super-well trained.

United StatesMy shower had a leak that was attempted twice to fix but wasn't, toliet handle was cracked and hard to flush, the plugs didn't work and the hair dryer didn't work all had to be replaced. The curtain handle was broken. The stairs coming down from show area at bottom had a big incline where you almost fall forward. My mother's key had to be replaced 3 times, it would just stop working. Some of the front desk staff would keep interrupting while we are speaking. The other parties in my group paid 1399 for there room , which I was booked for also , but for some reason it changed to 1900 and than .21cent I had to pay. Had friends coming in December, but had them change to a different resort. To many things wrong with room, plus at the price I paid not worth it. Definitely worth 1399 but not 1900.

Dominican RepublicThe beds were uncomfortable. I rented for two full beds and get one king and two sofa for the kids. Those were very uncomfortable. I will ask for a big ass fans added to the theater. It is really hot during the shows. The shows are not the best ones I have seen. I recommend to review the shows, specially the lion king. The princess show was good.
Very good food with nice options every day. I liked the Dominican Show at much. Waterpark is really nice. The girls loved it.

United StatesThe facility could use some standard maintenance in some areas, that didn't look too appeasing. Small things like caulk or rust and the Teens Center is strong of mold smell.
The ability to move from 1 property to the other was nice. The events were great, at the pool and the Pueblito. The staff at the Circus restaurant was amazing for our private dinner. The were extremely accommodating & attentive.

United StatesWe could hear everything going on outside of the room door, but is not completely their fault, I would wish some guests were more considerate and keep it quiet in the hallways.
Everything! We made reservations for the à la carte restaurants through the website before arriving (registration to their loyalty program first is mandatory) and we got an amazing culinary experience everyday. Our 3-year-old loved the food, the beach, and all the activities in the pools, it was so easy to keep him busy. It's our second time in Punta Cana and we will always come back, Dominicans are so warm and friendly, our child always felt welcomed by them.
