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.).

Falkland Islands (Malvinas)They could renew the mattresses, was very stiff, but overall.. it was a 9 out of 10
It’s pretty much a Tiki on the beach, we loved the VIP area and the resort itself. If we would have known that was this good, we wouldn’t have spent 5 days next door in Impressive.

United StatesI figured they never changed the bed sheet the first night we arrived until the day we left, and there’s sand all over the bed. I’ve had a sensitive skin so I got itching all over my body. Other than that it was great.
The location was amazing especially the beach. We’re loved it. There’s security around and staffed are awesome. We’re felt safe to be in this resort.

United StatesThe food could have been better
We stayed in a junior suite and had a great time Property was clean My husband is in a wheelchair and we were worried about accessibility but the junior suites are spacious and really all they would need is a shower chair and and a couple of bars around the toilet area to be considered a fully accessible unit. I called the property ahead of time to make sure we would have a ground level suite.

BelgiumBeds and pillows should be changed - these feel like stones, that's why we did not find comfortable the room 10109 which is supposingly called Comfort. That's why only 7, management should invest time into checking and replacing the old pillows which are completely deformed. You cannot have pillows on lobby couches better than in rooms. This is not a matter of guest taste or asking for a nother pillow after one night sleep that gives pain in the neck due to fully deformed texture of the pillow, it should be handled upfront by the hotel.
Kind and professional stuff made us feel welcomed during our short stay. Buffet was good, quite a variaty for different tastes, we found it's nice there were always some dominican dishes made of plantains, love them. Gluten-free breads were excellent. We've asked for a quiet room and so it was, thank you.

NetherlandsI believe the hotel should place more sunbeds in the pool as it was difficult to find a spot all the time. I felt like the staff didn't involve much the people to sign to the different activities and sports. Maybe they only ask to those staying at the beach.
the quality of the food it was really good, and the cocktails as well. The beach and the color of the water were amazing, I had never seen such colors in Bavaro, as I am used to staying in resorts located more in the north. I really recommend the spa and the massages.

CanadaThe food was so-so. At every meal, we had to struggle to find a table for four available, and when we did it was never clean, unless you are the first ones in the dining room for bkfst, lunch, and dinner. Missing glasses, utensils, cups, consistently. Not enough staff. You are on your own for drinks during the meals. As for a la carte, we tried 3 of them and they were ok. The Tapanyaki we booked for 8h30, but because they are as slow as molasses to clean the tables they had us waiting till 9h30 to get in, and we didn't eat till 10.
The location was great, the grounds are beautiful. Not too hard to get a drink at the bar, always someone there to serve.

United StatesThe food is TERRIBLE. Close all the restaurants and just make the buffet bigger. It is a joke that it is so bad. The buffet has some decent things on it. You only get well booze.. but for the price I don't expect more.
Cheap hotel. People are friendly.. a few close restaurants that were decent.

United StatesThe rooms need a little updating and good pillows. The fridge was only stocked up with water and the coffee was never stoked up after we drank it. In the restaurant we thought waiters catered to our drinks but didn't. It was hot in there so we tried to seat under or near a fan.
The beach was okay one day we had lots of seaweed but it was okay. We did find seats at the beach my family love the pool area by our room. The area of the resort was cleaned. We loved the food at the buffet they did lot variety of food. The Japanese restaurant was delicious we enjoyed our stayed no matter what. The Mexican restaurant we had better in other resorts. But we enjoyed our stayed.

United StatesI didn't l8ke the fact that I was treated differently from other tourists. I work very hard and I have very stressful job to be treated differently just because I am dominican. I also have a little problem with someone when I was eating. There was one of the lady that in my opinion should not be working there.
The beach was somehow a little bit dirty. I noticed that the other places were cleaning the beach ⛱️ more better.
