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 StatesAt times there was a smell on the park and in one of the apartments.
We traveled with a family of 6 (4 kids) in August 2025 and stayed at this location for almost 2 weeks. The location is great: close to the beach, restaurants, super market. Rental car options are close by. All the staff were great and very helpful. Breakfast is awesome. Pool is sizeable and was never crowded. Overall there is calm atmosphere which we liked. Would love to come again.

United StatesI had no complaints honestly. There was a lot of complaining in other reviews about this and that which I don't think was really fair. It is a nice property; not fancy but clean, simple and nice. Now if you stay on this property, it is in a very Dutch location with lots of Dutch tourists. If that is not what you are looking for, and want more of the actual culture of Curacao, then you should stay in Willemstad and Otrabanda. I was not aware of this when I booked so that did impact my stay but that has nothing to do with the resort. This is just an FYI.
My room was very nice and better than described with a nice size shower. I had a room with a nice size bed and a smaller bed for an additional guest which I didn't need since I traveled alone. The room also had a lovely balcony that was a nice size and I could hear the birds outside of my room everyday. The property was clean, nice and quiet. It was well manicured and there was a pool. It was a three minute walk from the beach. The staff was very nice, polite and helpful.

CuraçaoThe fact we had to pay for the beach chairs at Zanzibar and Mondi beach. At the reception we were told that we could use the facilities for specifically Mondi Beach for free. So it was not nice to keep that fact from us.
It was clean and spacious. We received free entrance to Mondi Beach which was very nice. Also free entrance to Zanzibar beach

ArubaI stayed at the Livingstone Jan Thiel Resort from May 2nd to 5th, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. One of the main reasons I chose this resort was for the pool and outdoor relaxation, but upon arrival, I was surprised to find that the pool was under renovation. There was no prior notice or warning about the renovation on the website, in my booking confirmation, or through any communication from the resort. This lack of transparency significantly impacted my stay, as I was not able to enjoy the pool area, which is typically a central feature of a resort experience. I understand that maintenance is sometimes necessary, but proper communication is essential so that guests can make informed decisions. I hope the resort improves in this area and ensures better communication with future guests.

NetherlandsThe bad communication of booking .com because the large SwimmingPool (top feature of location) was closed due to refurbishment. Also the Restaurant closed after 3 days until may-june . We have eaten and drinks were OK. The restaurant we did not missed after all. Small menu card and Hamburgers were pretty good! Pizza's ..? These were NOT pizza's ..
Super Location near beach facilities. Room was perfect for us and as expected.
