How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe entire trip was excellent and has surpassed all our expectations! Honestly the only critique would be towards the front desk staff, at numerous occasions they appeared lost, not very service minded and confused. Perhaps we were unlucky.

Verified reviewResort's overall structure is amazing. Everything is new and clean. The scuba equipment and team are fantastic! Bedroom is nice, spacious and neat. Food was the best one that I had in my life for a resort.
I think that scuba should have +1 boat so divers can really have 2 dives a day (I was lucky just 1 day because someone didn't show up). Overall the staff is nice but their training could be improved -- sometimes, you have to wait a long time to be served or be waiting in the line to be seated.

Verified reviewSpacious Many different vibes Good efforts at entertainment
We had heard about difficulties with taxis so ordered one way in advance Eventually got one 45 minutes late that ruined our sunset dinner plans. The girl at the front desk was very emphatic but we felt that management hid behind their desks and could have done more to ensure our experience wasn’t spoiled rather from distancing themselves from the taxi service they elected to use. We left the cheap bottle of champagne sent to our room behind. Free drinks at an all inclusive resort is a hollow “make it right” gesture

Verified review- Aeolos restaurant. Chef Tyler is a very talented young chef. We loved it that he came out, asked us about the food and we had a chat where he also listened. Jasper, the waiter at Aeolos was fantastic. - A 5-star resort with immaculate clean areas and fantastic ocean views. A big Bravo to all the maintenance team. - The boat trips for snorkelling. The snorkelling itself isn't wow as the reef isn't rich but the experience was very nice. - The gym was nice, clean and well equipped. - Very Polite personnel. - Not bad evening entertainment.
- We waited at Sandals desk for over 2 hours after our flight landed for our supposedly complementary transportation. Then we went and found our own taxi and the management of Sandals agreed to pay for it (which we appreciate). To have us waiting for such a long time is something unacceptable from any resort - The breakfast was below standards. Lack of healthy options, especially when it comes to bread, the choices were ridiculous. No granola and certainly no cereal without sugar. No fresh juices, except orange juice at only one of the restaurants. - Even though there were so many empty taples, We had to wait at the entrance of each restaurant for 4 - 12 minutes for the hostess to register us. Then another 5-20minutes to come and get our order. - There is no swimmable beach apart from a very narrow man-made strip along the far end of the resort

Verified reviewEverything is new, the views are amazing, great pool, nice restaurants and great scuba locations.
Staff very undertrained, not very kind. No one could properly guide us on the hotel activities, even the concierge did not know the activities that the hotel offers for free. Major problems with the scuba center. The guy who is responsible there is incredible rude without any necessity. And after finishing my OW certification, I could not get my certificate even after reaching the property multiple times. I want my money back.
