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 reviewApartment with A/C in the living room and both bedrooms. All utilities we could need at the property. Beautiful swimming pools right in front of the apartment, with beach towels provided by the property. The complex security and staff in general were very welcoming. Owner very nice, responsive and helpful.
Unfortunately we had ants issue in the apartment on a couple of days, but we have to say that as soon as we mentioned to the owner we had someone coming over immediately with special product to help keep them away.
It was truly a pleasure to host you and your beautiful family. You are awesome guests.

Verified reviewLocation is not far from the beach. Security is exceptional. The pools are amazing. The host is super responsive.
The sofa can fit a young kid, not an adut.
Thanks for your comments. It was a pleasure to host you.

Verified reviewThis accommodation was our last one of our 3 weeks’ vacation in DR (first time in the country), and we stayed here for 4 nights. The accommodation was a great choice as a last stop before returning home, for relaxation and privacy. Our host Bersaida was very helpful also before our arrival in DR, she helped with many good advices of what places to visit and what to avoid. Her suggestions made our holiday fantastic. The accommodation exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely come back if we travel to DR again. The apartment is big and spacious, everything is new, fresh and very clean. There are 2 bedrooms with large very comfy beds, A/C, commode and wardrobe in each bedroom. One bedroom has separate bathroom and balcony, the second bathroom is just outside the other bedroom. Kitchen and dining room with big dining table, one extra sofa, smart TV with large range of channels, A/C. WiFi is excellent in dining area and on terrace, but in the bedrooms not the best connection. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking, a big refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and water. Wash machine, iron, hair dryer, very soft towels both for shower and for the pool area. Pool area and garden is maintained daily by staff,everything is very clean, grass is soft and plants are beautiful. Security 24/7, no possibility to enter the community for strangers. Parking available at entrance to the community and also under security. Also, during the trip, I got an injury, and Bersaida helped to contact different clinics to book a visit for me since we do not speak Spanish. Thank you very much Bersaida for all your help. Dominicus beach is about about 15-20 minutes walking distance, a few minutes by car. It is possible to park around beach area and beach is open for public even though it is surrounded by resorts. There are restaurants, cafes, shops, hairdressers close by. Also food delivery is available.
Nothing, everything was perfect.
It was a true pleasure to host you and help you in any way possible. Safe travels!
