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 StatesService at the pool was a bit slow (drinks and towels), and room was starting to look a bit shabby (stains, chipped paint, etc.). We were also awakened every night at 2 a.m. by the (presumably drunk) ELEPHANTS above us coming home and crashing into everything in their room, but that's no fault of the hotel's.
Great breakfast and happy hour in El Jefe. We loved the pool area and that there were enough chairs for everyone, plus more chairs throughout the property for hanging out. The decor is very cheerful and the entire hotel is very Instagrammable. If you are an early riser, you'll likely have the pool to yourself until 10 a.m. or so.

United StatesThe water machine in the workout room was out of order, the dumbbell weights went from 5 lbs to 25 lbs. there were no 10, 15s or 20s. The weight machine was not working. There was nothing there to wipe down the equipment and no mats to lay on to do floor exercises. The workout room needs some attention. The restaurant was great. Taco night delicious.
The pool area was great. Pool was large and perfectly heated. Loved the room. Lots of space and bedding was comfortable. We did not eat breakfast there.

United StatesThe resort fee is a total rip off. The weather was too cold to use the pool and one bicycle I borrowed had an all but flat tire making it almost impossible to pedal.
The staff at both the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. The place was well maintained considering the place was probably built in the 1960's.

CanadaAC wasn't working 100%. Staff dismissed us by saying that it was working. Being on the ground floor (which costs more) we found of our muggy and warm. Only on our last night that we insisted on another room. Reception accommodated and our new room was cooler and much cleaner than the one that we were originally assigned. Food quality at breakfast was okay. Not as good as lunch/dinner
Pool and pool staff (bar) were great. Lunch and Dinner was awesome service and food

FranceUnfortunately the staff isn’t nice or helpful.. neither at arrival when we almost couldn’t pay with our French debit cards, we had to try 4 Mastercards before the 5th (visa) worked. We traveled for 10 days = 10 hotels, and Saguaro is the only one where we had this problem. Nor the day after when there were fire alarm state tests that couldn’t be stopped in our room for more than 1 hour in a row. We had to pack and almost got deaf, and absolutely no one cared despite several complaints.
The hotel is great, colorful & joyful. The rooms are really corrects for the price, it is more than « an old barely renovated motel » as I read in other comments. The restaurant is delicious.

New ZealandThe organisation of the place was a bit of a shambles. There was a wedding on the night we stayed which put a bit of a spanner in the works, it would have been nice to have been informed of this ahead of the stay or at least when we checked in. The pool bar shut early which meant that anyone using the pool had to go to the bar which passed through the Wedding ceremony set up.. Very awkward and not ideal when you're in swimwear having to go back and forth across the property. The whole wedding party crowded the bar and it was impossible to be served. They proceeded to be loud throughout the night. We avoided using the hotel facilities because of this, which luckily we had a car as it was a decent walk or taxi ride to anywhere with food. Most likely won't be staying here again just as I don't think the value for money was worth it.
Beautiful views of the pool and pool area is amazing with all the colourful rooms around the place. Really funky design elements and thoughtful touches in the room with the decor. Well stocked mini-bar too.

CanadaWe checked in on July 4th for 2 nights & it was insane. Check-in took 5 hrs - massive line ups & only one employee fielding everything. Not super clean around the pool area, hard to get service, extremely wasted people everywhere, no real clean-up happening. There was hair & sunglasses and all sorts of odd things in the pool. There was dog poop all over sidewalks and it was quite a mess everywhere. The ice machines were all broken for the duration of our stay, keys didn't work constantly & there was no way to get through to ANY of the numbers on the guest service phone (housekeeping, room service, front desk). I left a 'make-up room' sign that went without notice. Housekeeping did not come to our room. I even had to track down a housekeeper in the laundry room to get more toilet paper & Kleenex because it wasn't replenished. There was also a lot of room noise from the room above - I had to use earplugs to get any sleep. My takeaway is that this property is poorly managed & understaffed. I was excited to stay here, but was really disappointed with this property.
Cool looking property with lots of amenities & friendly staff.

United StatesProperty needed some updating. During the on season, the pricing of the room makes sense and if you’re just there to hang out by the pool then the looks of the property shouldn’t matter but the room got hot during the night (wouldn’t stay cool), signs around the pool stated differing open/close times and stated no outside drinks or food so you were forced to buy food/drinks from the pool bar and restaurant but not many options and kind of overpriced. All in all I think the rooms were a little overpriced considering the property needed some extreme updating. Bed was also very uncomfortable and pillows lacked comfort as well.
The property was quiet and calm, did not have to worry about neighbors being loud and the decor ideas were cute.
