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.).

SlovakiaThey are keeping a rooster on their property which is screaming every night since 4:30 am for at least two hours which is unacceptable and I don't get this logic. It wakes me and my family up every night. Also the wooden floor around pool is very outdated and we got two big stitches in our feet. Which is also hell to pull out from a 3 years old child.
Staff, location, pool, beach and surroundings was amazing! Accommodation was very nice, food was also very ok.

ItalyDespite the resort looks beautiful and we had the best room, there were small thing that you would expect in such an accommodation like a cleaned beach (we cleaned ourselves our beds and we found cigarettes and plastics from previous occupiers).
It’s an amazing almost completely private resort in a niche area that is still not super touristy. The beach is uncontaminated and you are immersed in the nature.

United StatesThe cost of transfer from airport is high.
We spent 8 days here - in a blink of an eye! Even if a bit remote, this boutique hotel is unique and exclusive. The ultimate destination for relaxing. I recommend the bungalow 1 directly on the beach 🤩 Private beach, excellent helpful and kind staff (Victor, Michelle, John and Fernando thank you!). Amazing breakfast and cuisine. The barbecue on Saturday evening was magical. Will definitely come back!

United KingdomAbsolutely Nothing could have been done to maker our experience any better! From the initial checkin to the minute we departed. We were treated exceptionally well by all staff, able to check out at the required time and still use the facilities for the remainder of the afternoon until we left at around 16:00. Punta Rucia Lodge beach amazing a little seaweed to be expected! 25yrs of visiting Ensenada and Punta Rucia this was by far the best experience we've had!
Amazing service from start at reception, the bar, restaurant and waiting staff especially Jhon, Fernando and MIchell! Having travelled widely in Dominican Republic this hotel was one of the best I have visited both for attention to clients and service 1st class! Food was excellent, restaurant prices very good, the General Manager was onsite and very approachable. Bar and Restaurant prices were higher than outside the hotel but quality of food and cleanliness of the kitchen was excellent and far better than outside venues.
