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 timeshare desks that guests are forced to walk by daily. The facilities are old and need a facelift and have issues such as bad plumbing, window leaks, evidence of mold. The casino was old and sketchy. Would not let that “amenity” factor in any decision to stay. Beaches had lots of seaweed, but that was common at all resorts we were visiting and reviewing. Not the most family friendly beaches at the properties due to solicitations and a few clubs nearby but there is 24/7 security that do a good job. For some adults, the clubs may be a plus. The clubs music/noise was still pumping at 6 am which you can hear on the beach.
The staff are friendly and go out of the way. I think guests need to remember that TRS Turquesa is part of a mega-facility and hotels are understaffed post Covid. The food had more options than other resorts but you had to make reservations (not guaranteed). They do try to provide top shelf drinks and alcohol. Good beach and towel service. Overall easy to have a good time, a few drinks, and relax. The sunrises are amazing in the DR and the hotel has a good front row seat. Security staff was outstanding.

SwitzerlandFood is okay and you have plenty of restaurants but was my least favorite of all the four hotels I stayed at.
I stayed in 4 hotels in total during my stay and I liked that in this hotel they were the most strict about COVID-19 regulations. Beach is nice, white sand but is full of street vendors coming by trying to sell you something.

United StatesConstant bothering for photos, massages, dolphin rides or being hit on by male staff. The butler made reservations for a restaurant not even open. The food was TERRIBLE and two of us got very ill. You’d order a meal and something would show up missing or adding something you didn’t want. Portions weren’t ever the same even when you go to the same place.
Great beach and pools

CanadaBarely any activities/shows. The rooms are very worn out and not as clean. So many sellers around the property trying to shove things down your throat, one guy on the beach legit yelled at us and got so scary because we repeatedly told him ‘no, we don’t want to purchase’. Also, we got sucked into this 5 hour venture that was sold to us initially as a tour of the resort but turns out to be some sort of detailed breakdown of a premium memberships for special deals on traveling and all-inclusive resorts. During this venture, we asked multiple times to let us leave and enjoy our day, yet they made us feel pressured with false promise that they are “almost done”. You can see how wasting 5 hours of your 4 day trip on something you have no interest in can be very frustrating.

United StatesThe food is horrendous! It is the most common conversation among guests- comparing notes on how bad all the restaurants are across all three properties. The buffet at TRS does stand out as the worst. The drinks are bottom shelf and you can never get the same drink twice. Order a pina colada (even from the same bartender) and you’ll get a different version every time. They also harp on you to buy excursions. The craziest thing was being sprayed with pesticides while at the pool. Usually a resort will do this in off hours- not here! Expect to be engulfed in a fog of toxic spray poolside. (The mosquitos will still eat you up fyi.) Overall, it’s like being trapped on a horrible cruise- but you’re actually on land- that’s this place.
The room size was good.

United StatesNo butler service. Butler said she set up our dinner at Bamboo and when we arrived they did not have our reservation and were very unfriendly and did not work with Butler who called and confirmed she set it up. We ended up not being able to eat anywhere as all places said they were booked. When we checked in we received very little information about what services we were offered and our butler was no help. The staff was not friendly and seemed annoyed anytime we asked for anything. I paid over 3,000 USD for 4 nights and feel like I wasted my money for what we received both in services and customer service. I would not recommend TRS to anyone.
Not much.

GermanyThe service did not correspond to a 5 star hotel, specially at the restaurants. We asked for an infusion and they said they didn’t have hot water. We insisted and after 30min we left. No one brought the infusion. We were there for 4 days, on 2 days there was no cold water and we couldn’t shower with hot boiling water. We had to call to get it fixed so we could shower. The battery of the door lock died and we waited for 30min and had to ask a couple of times if anyone was coming anytime soon.
Good wifi, lots of space at the beach. You can take a nice walk down the beach as the TRS Turquesa is part of a big hotel complex.
