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.).

BrazilPeople trying to sell La Playa collection at the lobby - aggressive sales tactics and not transparent. Run away from people trying to sell this at the lobby. Our experience was compromised by this approach.

United StatesThe buffet style is great but some food weren't what I was expecting. For instance mangue a dominican dish was tasteless. The kitchen staff not the ones serving the drinks. The ones that you give your plate to get the food you want. They not so friendly. Even though they had mask on you can still hear and see people's expression and I felt like they didn't want to be bothered. The room floors looked like they were dirty but I think It's just the style of the floor. The bathroom shower door didn't close properly so the water would come out.
Aww the beach and pool was amazing. Love that they have different things to do for families and adults. The check in Staff where great. The staff by the family pool by the lobby they were all great. The room size was great. The beds were nice and comfortable. This place is so big . Kids water park _the lazy river was fun. My kids loved it.

ArgentinaEntertainment is not so good. and it ends really early. I felt bored after 9 PM everyday at this hotel (not for the kids though. I think kids entertainment ended later, like mini disco). Food was common, not great. Not much else though pretty good except for price I felt it lacked much better entertainment and also better food and drinks for the price payed here. IF it where cheaper then id say you get great price/Quality ENCLAVE drinks specifics: If you are enclave I would not recommend it unless you are a beer person that doesn't like "President" beer and you are willing to get stuck by the pool and not go to the beach. I was enclave and We would always get a cold corona or Heineken beer. This was specially good for my couple who only drinks beer. The only problem as mentioned above is that those beers are only in the pool in the enclave area. Not at the beach. If you spend you day near the beach (like us) then you don't have beers except #presidente#. Although hotel does mention an enclave bar near the beach "on the rocks" I think is the name. That bar always told us that there are no cold beers except president or that they are out of those beers. Sometime it has happened to us that other people near beach tiped the waiter and they got cold millers. But we would ask for those and they would deny having cold millers (I guess because we did not tip) so overall my enclave experience not so good. Enclave beach: Enclave beach is actually not a beach its just an area that has some umbrellas (this is actually good as it is hard to get them in the general beach area) but its sort of a clif so to get in the sea you need to enter from the general beach area. So that's also not so good . I feel enclave should have some umbrellas saved in the general beach area and make the enclave area general .
I liked the staff at kids area. I also like the cleanness of the entire facility. I liked the fact that you don't have to reserve at any restaurant jut go a few minutes earlier and reserve there. I liked that they have a coffee place open really early in the morning with everything included (might be 24 hours I am not sure) . The general beach area is very nice . There was some algae in the water though but nothing that would make you stay away from the sea. Enclave specific: If you are enclave you DO get quality beer ONLY at the enclave pool area. I also liked having snacks in the enclave reception. I also liked the water park area. Although its not for children under 1.20 mts so my son could not go , we did do the lazy river and its nice. also grown ups can enjoy this as well.

AzerbaijanI was very disappointed with the resort doctor Anthony Rodriguez. I saw him when my 4 years old son got ear infection. I paid 195 USD and he did not even prescribe medication and directed us to Bavaro hospital. So, I spent in total 3 hours to hospital and back in road with sick baby and it was stressful and inconvenient experience for my son. Also due to long distance I had to pay 140 USD for taxi which is not refundable by my medical insurance. Later I learned that there was a big modern hospital in La Romana which was very close to our resort. He could direct me to that hospital and I could avoid waste of time and money. I believe doctor should have some empathy to patients especially when the patient is kid.
This is an amazing hotel with wonderful beach and great facilities for families. Me and my family enjoyed our stay and we are grateful to hotel and staff for amazing vacation.

United StatesThe size of the beach, the clarity of the ocean water, and the presence of seaweed both on the surface and the ocean floor were a negative. There was also a lack of snorkeling and equipment options which were a bit disappointing.
This resort’s rooms and restaurants and the facilities in general were exceptional. The water park with its slides and lazy river were a child’s dream. The distance between all the amenities was short contributing to the positive experience.
