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 StatesFor one, we were the 3rd person in line to check in and it took 45 minutes to get our turn. There was a line of 20 people behind us, some of whom left understandably. A first impression is everything. For the amount of money it costs to stay here, there should be a full staff at 4pm when check in occurs daily. That's a no brainer. They also should have had a beautiful drink station with fresh lemon/cucmber water while people waited but there was nothing. The jacuuzi is WAY too small and was green with algae, but the pool was great. And the music at the pool was blasting too loud all day. Could be a bit more subtle and still be fun. We also ordered a poke bowl from the pool snack shack- you know raw fish lol and it took 45 minutes for them to make it. There are no dog poop bag stations or cigarette trash receptacles around the property - so people left their dog poop on the lawn and cigarettes which no one cleaned up for 3 days. Our room had quite a few unusual flaws. The bathroom did not have a fan or a heat lamp so everything in there stays wet and foggy. The shower head wouldn't turn on all the way and water was coming out of the faucet instead. Also our sink got clogged because the sink stopper was broken. Our time was short so we didn't ask to have a plumber come fix anything but they should check all units after every guest. They give you a laughable 2 bottles of Costco water upon arrival and charge $7 for a tiny water in the room. For a resort, that should be unlimited. The key cards had problems often going in and out of the gate which we had to have reset a few times. And there is no one at the entrance or exit to help you.
We loved our room with the chaise lounge facing a quiet tree and garden. We were steps from the ocean as well as the pool, shuffle board and it was easy to park near our building. The pool was great. It was my mothers 80th birthday and she felt like she was in heaven. My 6 year old loved all of the mini golf, outdoor chess and the pool. We had amazing mahi tacos from the Set and really terrific Poke bowl from the Terrace. We were close to many amazing restaurants. We visited the zoo, the pier, rode bikes, went 2xs to the Natural History Museum butterfly garden. We really didn't want to leave.

United Statesyou are understaffed and you need a concierge desk/staff. Your front desk constantly had a line of at least 6 people, we gave up at one point the line was too long. We booked a king room with a balcony, got sent to a queen double room with no 'heads up fyi we are NOT giving you the room you booked' at all. was surprised and had to beg for a fix. You were appraently sold out. could not find my room reservation to begin with . Your front desk staff is inundated with guest requests that should go to a concierge like waters/ bike vouchers, tours, questions and your clear understaffing made it uncomfortable and long waits for everyone at the hotel.
