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.).

Loved the location mins from the airport, the Hotel was a resort, beautiful pool beach and hot tub and exceptional in quality and luxury. Food proportions were Huge, but they offer a mini fridge and the to go option with reheating in the cafe if needed next day so no wastage. Pet friendly resort as well.

United StatesThis is where you want to stay if you’re visiting San Juan. Beautiful beach that is more calm than Condado, short Uber right from Old San Juan whenever you want. If you’re debating where to stay, just book this. The property itself is as good as it gets for this area.

United StatesWhen we asked a young man at the front desk on Friday night about checking out late on Saturday, he said that was not possible, causing us a bit of concern about our plans on Saturday with a late flight that night. However, Nester took great care of us the following morning without issue. We were relieved and spent the day at the pool. Some of the younger staff seem to need a bit more training.
We loved our stay at the Royal Sonesta! The beach and pool are spectacular, but what stands out the most is the staff. From the front desk to the umbrella guys on the beach, everyone was extremely helpful and cheerful. Jenny, our poolside server, was so great we decided to spend our last day at the pool just to be taken care of by her excellent service. Housekeeping did an amazing job as well as all the servers we had for breakfast, on the beach, etc.

United StatesThe bed was a little too firm for me and the pillows could be better. The resort fees were high for really what you get in return. The fitness equipment was dated and should be replaced, old iPhone adapter no one can use so at least take those bloody screens off the treadmills or elliptical machines… obscure the beautiful view of the beach. The price was really high for what we received back.
Beautiful setting, as the beach was less turbulent than further west along the coast towards Old San Juan. There are some sand gnats so bring or buy bug spray like we did… a drugstore is nearby. Staff are very professional and helpful. Our room, #812, was great. I didn’t eat at the restaurants but my wife and daughter did and liked them. There are a few restaurants nearby but not as many options further west towards Condado Beach area. Near the airport so only a 10-15 minute drive but still costs $25 by taxi.

United StatesSo many positives... I don't know where to start... I loved the proximity of the pool and how easy it was to get to the beach from my room. The hotel staff was phenomenal - friendly, helpful, welcoming. The pool area was clean. It was nice to see some children playing and the other guests were so fun and friendly. The beach was perfect... on Saturday afternoon, there was live music being played on the beach. It was so refreshing to see people let loose and enjoy it. The breakfast that is included with the reservation is so much more than "continental breakfast" - it has stations of different foods (eggs, bacon, waffle station, fruit station, cereal station, pastries, etc.). If you wanted to order something special, it costs extra but I saw absolutely no need. The continental breakfast also includes one mimosa per guest. I, unfortunately, did not take advantage of the happy hour that is also included, however, the ambiance was festive but not too loud. the bartenders and servers were friendly. It really was a great place to decompress for a couple of days.
