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 KingdomThe beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom needs a mosquito net so can open the window more as no extractor fan, and some sort of privacy screen on the window as anyone tall can peer in! Also please state on the app that you need to join the mymo club before attending archery or staff need to take the forms down. Many a disappointed child turned away.
The food was delicious and a good variety. Michael Jackson show was great! Great pools and like the use of the woods on the 10 Min walk to the beach!

CanadaSignage wasn’t always clear. Communication with front desk & their taxi service was not the best. Response from emails to the on site taxi service was not timely …. Causing undue stress when needing confirmation for a ride to airport. Fortunately, it all worked out with follow-up on my part.
It was beautiful, clean and had an abundance of options for enjoyment! The zen music & hammocks in the forest were a magical touch! Would highly recommend for family vacations.

FranceThere were a lot of activities going around, however, it was a little bit confusing to find out about enrollment. Therefore, maybe a good idea to notify and encourage participation, specially in side the private lodge area. Maybe an option to pre enroll residents in some activities. The spa was all pre booked, and we couldn't get to reserve a session.
Great experience in total. Stayed for 5 nights, and had a variety of activities to explore. Private lodge facilities were better including, lodging, bar, as well as the restaurant. Great jungle walk towards the private beach, and was fun to enjoy canoeing sessions with the watersports guys near the beach. Special mention to Felipo (the bbq expert chef in the private lodge restaurant), as well as Anna Maria in the private lodge pool bar.

BelgiumStaff were very variable. At reception, several staff members were haughty to boorish. One seemed very driven to say "no" to questions. Service in the restaurants was chaos -- it was often a very long wait for your drinks. Then again, the monitors and cleaning staff were great -- the cleaning staff spoke better English through the band that the service in the restaurants.
Great facilities (beach, beautiful football ground, quiet adult area, very nice pools).

United KingdomEverything was great. Nice and helpful staff, beautiful nature - flowers, trees. Our kids enjoyed the splash park and heated pool. During our stay it was too cold for us to use the main swimming pool. There was so much food to choose from During the meal times - nice fresh pizza, lots of fish and seafood - very good choice of Everything. The rooms are basic but we didn't spent much time there as there was so much to do outside.

United KingdomIt would have been good to have more bins around the pool area as this got dirty in the afternoon. Not everything was inclusive so we had a nice bill for the extras at the end of the holiday. This included ice cream, pancakes and crisps , things that you would expect to be included. Staff at the desk tried to overcharge for taxi because they thought I never spoke italian. The description highlighted more than one restaurant and gave the impression these were also all inclusive but it was only one and then 1 night only at another restaurant. Booking on activities was a nightmare. Had to book within 24 hours or it wouldn't work and then it would all go really quickly. I asked for someone to help witht our TV in the room and get us a phone and they never did.
Overall it was a fantastic holiday. Entertainment was great. Food was amazing. Staff were friendly. Room were kept clean. The pool was great qnd beach too.
