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.).

CanadaIdeally, they’d add a microwave. The walk / climb to the main building may be a bit steep for some people.
Excellent location with a great view. Nice beaches and pools. Felt very safe. Very friendly and responsive host and staff. Good value. Had everything you’d need for a great stay.

GermanyCutlery, glasses and plates had stains; no beach towels; no clothes drying rack. This was the most expensive accommodation we booked in the DR and we expected a better maintained place for the price.

Italyeverything could be perfect...and it is not. Is is easy to see the the rooms need maintenance...strong maintenance. The kitchen has glasswere and plates of many different types mixed, and it is was not very clean in general. The bathroom has the towels holders detached from the walls, and breaking parts in different walls, one of the ceiling fan was not working, in the living room there was sand in different corners left from probably previous clients and not cleaned well, the beach is private and beatifull, with sun beds, sun umbreallas and everything...but nothing is kept well, everything is dirty or a bit broken...the project was perfect but everything look very used and a bit run-down.....I hope this is due to the difficult time of COVID so they are loosing money and cannot keep up with a normal standard, probably they do not have enought staff or they have managers that do not care much. But honestly with this kind of run-down situation on the details, this is a 5 star from outside but a 3 star hotel inside. We have been in a couple of other 4 stars hotel in Rep Dom, and they are much more perfect in the details, and cleaner. Moreover, the staff here at the restaurant was very grumpy and busy in talking between themselves more than pay attention to the clients, and too many of them (including some of the people in the office) do not speak english......everywhere in the world a 4 star or more hotel have staff speaking in english, at least staff dealing with clients every day.
as expected, the position is fantastic. This is a huge complex with many different buildings and rooms but sparse on a huge area and all with magnificent view on the ocean. The terrace of our room (but of all the rooms from what I can see) is very good, illimited view, nice sun-beds, and the details of the complex are well studied: the parking lots are with precise numbers, the air con separate between the rooms, the nice ceiling-fans, the big shower in the bathroom....everything was studied in the details, so in THEORY the place is really a 5 star residence

Dominican RepublicCondo is not top floor. Both TV's did not work, as well as the AC in the main bedroom. Maintenance showed up twice, but could not fix it. Be prepared, not a drop of drinkable water in the condo, which we never encountered anywhere else. Have to go to restaurant and pay elevated prices. Condo requires fumigation/pest control.
Nice views from the condo, good facilities with two pools and a restaurant. Kitchen is well equipped. Responsive staff. Nice beach, though a pretty steep hike to get to it. Owner was easy to contact and responded promptly.
