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 StatesMy only recommendation is that toilet was having problems with the pushing so made it difficult to get it to work. You had to hold it down for 10 seconds just for it work.
Food at restaurant was amazing! Views from my room and the space in my room was perfect! I would come back again with my family. Amazing staff that treat you like family.

United StatesThe false promise of 2 tennis courts. There were only the unkempt remains of what were once 2 hard courts. To play on them now would actually be dangerous. Impossible to understand why such a lovely hotel would allow the courts to deteriorate - then brag about having 2 courts.
Everything - view, 2br room, great breakfast - all except the false promise of 2 tennis courts! The courts were horrible, even dangerous for playing. I’m a player; my son is a tennis professional. We were shocked that what once may have been playable courts were allowed to deteriorate - and still be advertised! Truly bait and switch in an otherwise wonderful hotel.

The location is stunning, featuring a pool by the ocean, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets overlooking the sea and sailboats. The food was good.

Dominican RepublicIt leaks many places when it rains. The use of space in the rooms are not well thought out. It needs maintenance. The restaurants are not good and are expensive. Smoke from the pizzeria got on clothes left outside. The staff should be trained better.
The second room. They changed us. The air conditioner and the view. Clean towels.

United StatesI paid for an ocean view, received a very partial ocean view. I complained and changed rooms after the first night. There are only 2 options for night dining. They should really promote the rooms with full kitchens!
The views, the marina, were stupendous. The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfasts were scrumptious!

FranceFood was ok but lots of dishes missing from breakfast menu (avocado or bananas were in short supply which is odd) more Dominican food options would have been nice. There were lots of events and excursions that guest could have access to, but next to no communication from the hotel that these were happening which is a shame.
Great location, beautiful views, nice pools. Rooms are comfortable and clean.
