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 KingdomThe staff were incredibly and very attentive. I just would have liked more food options to cater for my dietary restrictions. Gluten free bread would have been great. Labels on the breakfast buffet to indicate what allergens were included in each dish would have been really helpful. But the staff were very accommodating none the less.
Beautiful location, friendly staff, stunning room and amazing cocktails!

Antigua & BarbudaWish it was all inclusive so we could enjoy more without worry of the bill afterwards. There wasn't much to do on the property after certain times. It was also pretty quiet so more for relaxtion.
The hotel met all expectations. The property is gorgeous and the room was extremely spacious and comfortable. I really loved the double rain showers and bathtub, as well as the modern elements. Had a restful night's rest and didn't want to leave bed. Breakfast was included and also another highlight of our stay. Staff were also super friendly and helpful.

United StatesWe had dinner at the restaurant the first night, and my husbands prawn pasta dish was an absolute joke, especially considering the cost. An 8 year old could have cooked something up more appetizing. I ordered pizza for myself and twin toddlers, and it was perfectly fine -hard to mess up pizza. It was just very disappointing, and I am glad I did not try to order anything more expensive or fancy. There are not many options nearby, but I do advise eating anywhere else.
The property itself is absolutely beautiful. The staff were very friendly and professional and helpful. They would go above and beyond to ensure you were happy with your stay. The rooms are large and comfortable, as well as the balcony. The bedding was the best of our 3 stays on the island, what you would expect from a high end hotel, slept very comfortably. Please be aware that there is not much in the surrounding area for grocery shopping or shopping in general, and very limited with surrounding restaurants. The staff recommended Madiba our second night (closed on Mondays), and it was our favorite place to eat. Very hidden, after Purple Turtle Beach.

United StatesWe loved everything about the property.
We loved the spectacular location, which offered easy access to hiking and snorkeling. The gardens on the property are beautiful , and there are incredible sunset views over the Caribbean from the pool. It is a totally relaxing atmosphere. The hotel staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed,as well as immaculately clean. The food is delicious. We especially loved the local specialties in the menu and enjoyed the selection of bush rums.

United KingdomI stayed during the week for 3 nights. I would’ve loved if there was some sort of entertainment at night. The place was quiet everywhere. The food- In my honest opinion the food really needs to improve. It’s nice, but it’s not anything special especially for the price you pay.
Every corner of this hotel had a picture perfect view of the island. It was absolutely stunning. The views, the scenery, the grounds were incredible. The beautiful landscape with the gardens and pools! Breathtaking

United KingdomWe booked superior room with ocean view and to preface, the resort had less than 50 guests in it (150 rooms), yet we were given a room (1141) with hardly any natural light and a view of plants (with about an inch of seaview). We asked to see another room and chose to upgrade to grand suite with ocean view. Since the occupancy was so low, it came as a big surprise that the room we viewed at arrival wasn’t available and actually no ocean view suites were available to move into that first night. For a 5* very new resort with the IHG name, it came as a great surprise that no complimentary upgrade, no complimentary cocktail, no gift or discount on anything was offered. The only option of wine in entire resort was Lindemans, which is the cheapest wine you can buy in England for about £3 per bottle and here they charged over £10 for a glass. We would have bought champagne if we could have. Didn’t clear empty room service until the following morning so it got ravaged by something. Twice, room service took 30+ minutes to contact and then 60+ mins to get for two simple main meals whilst restaurant had less than 10 people in it. Essentially it was beautiful but a little disappointing.
It’s very clean and hotel is maintained beautifully. Breakfast was good, not exceptional with speciality coffees at additional price. The beds were comfortable and rooms generally were well designed and pretty. Views are beautiful from hotel. Whale watching was great and lots were seen. The staff were very friendly and tried their hardest but be aware that it’s Caribbean style service. After dinner the atmosphere was non existent, had to find a bar tender to find a drink.

United KingdomThe overall experience falls well short of 5* luxury. It is common to wait very long times for basic things, e.g. a wine list or some bread. When asking for something, there is approximately a 50:50 chance that it will be received. Often facilities are closed during their advertised opening times. The problem appears to be with systems at the resort rather than people. After we ordered room service, the plates were still outside our room four days later. On a separate note, the communications from the hotel to the guests are very poor- it was very difficult to find out information about excursions, which facilities are available etc.
The resort is beautiful and the facilities are excellent. All of the staff were unfailingly lovely (especially Laura on reception)

BarbadosService was disappointing. Room service took an extraordinary long time and food often arrived cold. We were disturbed on mornings despite placing no disturb sign. We arrived at 9pm and had to wait to fill out a firm with taxi, then again written forms to fill out at front desk. We were told restaurant closed at 10 and sent downstairs to be told at 9:35 that the kitchen was closed and we needed to have in-room dining. At 9:45 we called in-room dining and were told we could not be served until after 10pm. Food arrived after 11pm.
