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.).

CanadaFirst thing in the morning you can hear the other room doors squeaking open and shut hard as rooms were offered bottles of water or patrons left rooms. These sounds woke us up and I first thought there was some kind of construction but it was not. This can be fixed by applying some fix to the doors to limit the noise. The bathroom items were not all replaced consistently such as floor mat, soap and Kleenex tissues during cleaning. We had to request this. Seaweed on the beach was a problem and we did not spend time there as we planned. Some of it was cleared on the third day we were there but still overall an issue. Could add entertainment for families with kids such as movies under the stars etc. in both Spanish and English. The large entertainment area was unused during the day and could be used for daytime activities for breaks for kids from the pool and beach.
The resort setup, decor, amenities and variety of areas for patrons to eat and be entertained such as restaurants, casual pop in places and pool options including water parks was excellent. The rooms were in very good condition and lot of thought put into layout and comfort. There is attention to detail in all aspects and staff made sure everyone had a great time. Place was very clean and the recent renovations are good for everyone including families.

United StatesAs a recommendation, the hotel needs more activities and shows during the day in the pool , and at night they need more entertainment, because all the activities is doing outside the resort .
I like the hotel, personal, food and drinks.

United StatesThe associate neglected to provide towel cards at checkin which created confusion and hassle. Response to warm room temperature took too long. I also got sick after eating at Agave. I suspect due to unsanitary conditions.

United StatesA select frw of employees only tended to you if they thought you were a big tipper. Steak house food was good but the size of the steak leaves you needing more. And bowl slide needs to have depth posted. Average pool is 2 feet the bowl slide feels like 9 feet deep.
Ambiance, pool, restaurants, room, most employees were welcoming and warm. Food overall was good. Cleanliness of the whole resort. They cleaned the room multiple times, even after 9pm they would knock and ask if you had garbage or dishes you wanted them to take.

United Stateswell, the property was beautiful. The food was not that great. The variety to eat was very limited. There was an enormous amount of American food and not a great amount of Dominican food which greatly disappointed me because this is why I traveled to the Dominican Republic. Hopefully they can have less Americanized meals and more authentic Dominican meals.
property had a beautiful scenery. The staff was very nice and it really made you feel like you were in paradise would definitely visit again.

United StatesI didn’t like the food and we had to wait a long time to get towels for the room which we didn’t get, but had to wait until the next day to get them off the cart our selves. SOME of the staffs were not very attentive, but a very small group of them.
I liked the rooms they were spacious and the resort was nice had a lot to offer. I would say MOST of the staff were great & very friendly.

United StatesThe beach is a little hidden by the palm trees so after a certain time it’s best to go with a group.
The workers made the trip so much better. Very kind people. The waiter Yenny was such a sweetheart. She definitely needs a promotion.
