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.).

United StatesIt was off season and empty. But instead of giving me a great room with a view as described. I got a corner room pinched into a wedge with no view. Worst part of it was every nice room with a view was empty.

IsraelOur room was on the other side of the hotel, away from the lobby and main pool and this was not made clear when booking. The price of the hotel is very high.
The hotel is excellent, the breakfast is excellent, and there are many pools and a beautiful beach.

United StatesCleanliness of the room- found hairs that weren’t ours several times on sheets. Water wasn’t filtered at the resort so opted to use bottled water to be safe.
Loved that it was close to the beach! We stayed in a room that was across the street, but it was such a quick walk across and to the beach. The pool was a nice size, easy to find lounge chairs. Fun to listen to the howler monkeys which were hanging out in the treetops on the property. Breakfast buffet was very good! It included made to order omelets, homemade tortillas, fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, etc. Was pleased they were able to bring a rollaway bed so our kids could each have their own bed. Fun towel creations left by housekeeping.

RomaniaOne major inconvenience was the hairdryer setup in the bathroom. It was attached inside a drawer, with the cord running through it, making it nearly impossible to use comfortably. You basically had to lean into the drawer to dry your hair. Another downside was the breakfast. While the basics were covered, the variety was quite limited, especially for vegetarians. There were very few alternatives, and no plant-based milk options at all, which was disappointing given the otherwise modern setting of the hotel.
Overall had a pleasant experience, especially because we chose an adults-only room. This gave us a sense of privacy and tranquility, which we really appreciated. The location is also excellent, the area is full of restaurants and everything is easily accessible, whether you’re looking to explore the beach, grab a bite to eat, or book an activity. The stuff was very friendly as well. We enjoyed the calm atmosphere and the convenient location, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Costa RicaToo many flies in the restaurant. Maybe you can implement table fans for flies on each table.
The beach front, excellent layout. Also restaurant with view to the ocean. It's close to many shops and restaurants.

United StatesNothing, this is a great resort with a lot to offer!
Great location, close to everything and easy to walk everywhere. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The ceiling fan in the room was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were amazing and the pools and beach were so relaxing. The transport service was great, we booked our return trip to the airport four hours before our flight like the suggested but in the day we were supposed to leave, there was major construction on the road and the staff made sure to make us aware and get us going earlier than we booked so we wouldn’t miss our flight. They got us to the airport with time to spare despite the traffic that was very backed up
