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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustriaThe food is typical buffet food. I would have liked to see more local food on the menu for dinner.
The hotel and the grounds are beautiful - complete with a spacious pool, a jacuzzi and 3 thermal pools. We booked the "superior" package, which included all of our meals and an activity for each night of our stay. We opted for the tubing and a 30 minute massage, both of which I can recommend. This package also includes drinks at the pool bar, where I highly recommend trying the mango-maracuya-orange smoothie. The live music at dinner was also fantastic, with some very talented local musicians. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United StatesEverything else was horrible. The solar lights outside worked sometimes. So you had to walk in the dark. There is no phone in the room and they expect you to WhatsApp them with any requests. But our room didn’t have any WiFi. So we have to walk to reception for 3 days with requests. They kept saying that it will be fixed but it wasn’t. So we were without internet for 3 days. The rooms were really badly designed. With almost no lights so we have to use phone lights in the room to access the closet. The coffee maker wire was 1 ft long and would not reach the plug unless it was kept on the floor which was a challenge with a 18 month old. The bathrooms were always wet because the floor allowed for the water to be accumulated on the bathroom floor after a shower. I can go on for how bad this place is. Do your self a favor and avoid

United Stateslt has nothing to do with the property but it’s a bit far from the airport that’s all.
I liked that it had a little bit of everything, from different outdoor activities, to the pools and facials. The water tubing was so much fun, as well as the horse ride, zip lining etc. The staff everywhere were so kind and accommodating.

United StatesRoom was terrible. We stayed in the 'family' room complex. 1 large room, 3 double beds (which is what we were expecting). However - only 1 overhead ceiling light that was extremely bright. No reading lights or bed lights - very tough when kids went to bed early. Not enough towels or pillows, and never supplied despite asking. Hairdryer broke. No parking available near the room. Terrible service regarding the room. Other rooms had slippers, robes, towels, and lights. Ours had none. Felt like an extremely rustic cabin, and not worth the price.
Food in the restaurant - tasty, convenient, great service, never had to wait. Pool bar - very nice, though limited hours. Gorgeous landscaping all over the facility.

United StatesDidn’t like the room very dark Bathroom was tiny Room had bugs and mosquitoes Asked them to change light bulb but was ignored. Awful rooms compared to the price they ask for. Would not recommend anyone to go to this resort. The rooms are very outdated and doesn’t give you a feel of staying in resort.
The staff working in restaurant were really nice and gave excellent service during all our meals.

United StatesTHE PROPERTY: We had initially had booked 2 days but decided to add an extra day to be able to enjoy more of the property and get in a few excursions. It is marketed well. I paid $2180 for 3.5 days of all inclusive. That being said, we were pretty disappointed with what was actually available at the property. The main pool with the swim up bar was under construction so aside from 3 tiny mineral baths, there is no way to cool off during the day. There’s no bar access to these tiny pools. There are only 3 lawn chairs on the premises. There are really no other activities or entertainment available to guests on the property. There are a variety of fun excursions available to purchase, but you’re basically stuck in your room afterwards. There’s really nothing to do. Pros: everyone is friendly, like, really nice. There are plenty of excursions available to purchase (the river rafting was a lot of fun and worth the expense) Cons: there is literally nothing to do on the property so you have to spend more money to purchase excursions. Also, WiFi doesn’t work. ROOMS The bungalows are really cute but the rooms are a bit dated. The room we received was not the family room that we booked. We did not receive the welcome drink advertised on the booking. Our first morning we woke up and could not use the bathroom as there was no running water for a couple of hours. There has been a strange fishy odor coming from the middle kitchenette section. Not sure what is causing it but it’s unpleasantly there. Pros: great view of the volcano Cons: Not enough blankets, water pressure ; fishy odor; not the room shown on my booking; no welcome drinks as promised and woke up to an invoice for a water bottle and soda from the fridge that we did not take! Also, we purchased an all inclusive package so the soda and water should’ve been covered!! FOOD & BEVERAGE There is only one restaurant with specific times for meals.
Courteous staff (mostly); great views, but…..NO POOL!!! Read below

United StatesBe aware that this hotel is NOT All Inclusive. They state that the $222/ night charge includes all drinks, food and spa but in reality you get nothing but a room that is dated and in disrepair. The pool is uncomfortable and the hot springs are dirty and cold. Keep looking, do not stay here.
