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 StatesReception needed work. It didn’t help that their English wasn’t very good. They were also very slow to check us in. We purchased all inclusive and we got to the hotel early so our room wasn’t ready yet, which is to be expected. We figured we would still be able to enjoy our all inclusive package while we wait for our room since that’s how it works at every other all inclusive place we have been to. They told us that’s not the case, we couldn’t use it till 3. We went back to the desk around 2:30 to see if our room was ready and it was! However they still had us come back at 3 to get our all inclusive wristbands. The coffee taste like dirty water and was never hot. It was more yellow than brown. The menu stated they had cappuccino and latte but they told me they don’t have those when I asked to order one. And the worst part was that the bed always felt wet. We even asked for new sheets but those were damp as well which made it difficult to have a good sleep.
We loved the location. We definitely want to return to the area next year with friends. The wait staff was beyond excellent. Very friendly people and great, fast service.

United StatesThey never actually came to pick up the mini bar even though we told them on day 2 of 4. The mini fridge was stocked so we could barely put our own drinks and could not remove them and set them to the side as we would be charged if they were seen by house keeping. It was a bit noisy till about 3 AM. The staff was not accommodating with the towels even though the pool is supposed to be open 24 hours. The light were shut off on our side where we were lounging/ swimming at about 12-1. The valet was super quick but it’s a bit odd to get your car in as you have to drive down what looks to be an ally/walkway.
It was clean and really moody. It is close to a lot of restaurants, shopping and Coco Bongo.

CanadaThe sound insolation is absolutely horrible! You can hear all the music and partying into the morning hours. You guys need to fix/replace the windows to ensure it’s properly sound insulated.
Location and room was nice. Everything matched my expectations except all the noise that comes through into the room ALL night long from the parties and clubs around. Thompson needs to fix/replace windows so sound from the outside doesn’t come into the room.

United StatesI was apprehensive about booking this property only because the one complaint I read in reviews over & over again was the noise level, however, my friend wanted to stay at a 4-star & above hotel, since we were out of the country. The first night we were there it was like we were being Punked. The receptionist enthusiastically said that we were on the top floor so that meant floor 2 out of 2 floors. I felt like he was trying to put a positive spin on it. We were in room 211 directly off of the elevator, closest to the entrance, which is a main street where the busiest loudest night clubs are located. Because of our proximity to several nightclubs right outside of our balcony, in addition to our own, which is located at the opposite end of the hotel, we heard throbbing, vibrating dance music house + live trumpet coming from several different establishments all at once. It sounded like we were sleeping outside on the sidewalk. There were earplugs left on the nightstand so I’m sure they get this a lot but they did nothing. I had to sleep w/ my Apple AirPods until lost charge at 1am but the clubs were still throbbing so all I could do was play rain sounds loudly through my speaker, put a pillow over my head, & wait until 2am til things died down. I am not exaggerating! This room or the rooms that are closest to the elevator shaft are fine for young people who are going to be out all night partying anyways but most definitely not for grown adults who are in bed by midnight. I only got a few hours of sleep the 1st night as a result. The next morning we shared our experience w/ the front desk & they moved us to the opposite end of the hotel closest to the restaurant UMI on the rooftop but placed us on Floor 1 for added quiet. It was so peaceful you could hear a pin drop. Much better experience!!! We were pleased otherwise we would’ve switched hotels. Great job on them for listening & turning the situation around.
The rooms were fabulous! Very spacious, great water pressure & temperature, well designed, perfect bathrooms, beds, and pillows, more comfortable than my own. We had the queen double w/ balcony. The service on the rooftop wasn’t that great. The bartenders took forever to make drinks, even when I stood in front of them. They were easily distracted. I don’t know why they don’t have a better set up, but that occurred on multiple days the drinks for tasty though. We didn’t eat at the restaurant. The location was excellent right around the corner from a Starbucks and essentially in the courtyard of a shopping center and we’re all of the best restaurants and shops are in the downtown area. We are able to walk through the neighborhood and felt very safe even into the early hours of the morning. There were marines with guns everywhere.

United KingdomWe were disappointed with the rooftop pool, the pool itself and the views were amazing but unfortunately the loud music was a huge let down. We appreciate its technically a beach club so there is bound to be music but it was far too loud and you can feel the base vibrating, this is uneccessary especially in the morning where chilled music would've been better.
The rooms large and comfortable and the hotel was modern and clean. The staff were friendly.

United KingdomThe pool experience was not good. The pool is great and the set up good. The real downside is the music level. It was already too loud first thing in the morning - but from 1, the staff turn it up and it gets so loud that I couldn't hear my friend who was sat next to me on the lounger. The speakers are all around and right above the loungers as well so there's no escaping (I tried pretty much every corner) It would be very easy to switch off some of the speakers to have a 'quiet' side for the guests who don't enjoy clubbing at midday.
First of all - the staff were all amazing - helpful, super friendly. Lazarus, Sara and the rest of the breakfast team. Maria and her colleagues at reception and Joaquin and the bar staff. The breakfast was really good too - although maybe having 2 options in the included breakfast would be good so you can alternate when you stay a week?

United KingdomNo robes or slippers in room, usually standard in these types of hotels, especially considering the price we paid for room. Poor room service food selection. Very limited and when we did order some, (a ceaser salad and a ramen soup) was tasteless and not worth the money. Small bottle of water was $6 by the pool... also, some of the pool towels need replacing as looking old and discoloured.
We checked into this hotel after having had a bad experience at a nearby hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming and hotel Is very clean Great sized room and 2 complimentary bottles of water daily. Lovely roof top pool, with ocean view
