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 reviewToo noisy throughout the day - did not realise how loud the pool sound system would be - starting int he morning and running all the way until the evening - almost like a vegas strip hotel
the staff's insistence that EVERYTHING is payable in cash is a massive detriment. a suitable and efficient option for alternative payments needs to be considered
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our daily live DJ by the pool offers beautiful vibes and is not clubbing style. For guests seeking peace, we also have quiet zones away from the music. As with most resorts, some services are chargeable, and we always aim to be transparent. We also provide flexible payment options for our guests’ convenience. We value your input and hope to welcome you again.

Verified reviewI was truly impressed with the attention to detail at this beach resort. The ashtrays were cleaned and removed every night and then put back in the morning, showing real care for cleanliness. The towels on the beach beds were replaced daily, which made each morning feel fresh and welcoming. Most importantly, all the staff were constantly smiling, kind, and always ready to help. Their warmth made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewI recommend Ocean Blue, just be aware that all their room prices are for 2 people, and each additional child or adult will be charged 30$ per night. My room is a junior suite, and still I had to pay for 3 person. Also Amy guests who walk in have to pay 30! Even if they will not use the facility and r visiting for an hour . I did not like that, so just be aware Breakfast was awesome, pool and music are perfect and out of this word and so is the beach.
Sensor lights , u have to keep moving in bathroom, charging visitors 30$ even if they will not use the facility, which makes it hard for people to entertain family or friends
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for recommending Ocean Blue. we are happy to hear you enjoyed our breakfast, beach, pool, and vibrant atmosphere. Regarding room charges, our rates are based on double occupancy. Each room type has a specific maximum capacity, and for each additional guest, "adult or child," a fee of $30 per night is applied. This charge includes breakfast, full access to the pool and beach, and a folding bed to ensure comfort during your stay. Concerning daytime visitors, we’ve noticed that many do use our facilities during their visit. As such, a $30 entry fee is applied before 6 PM. Please note that access policies differ between weekdays and weekends, with weekends requiring stricter control to manage crowd levels and maintain guest experience. Regarding the sensor lighting in the bathroom, these systems are installed to help us reduce energy consumption in line with our sustainability goals. That said, we can gladly adjust the timer for longer durations upon request to suit your preference. We value your comments and look forward to welcoming you again. Best regards, Ocean Blue Hotel & Resort Management
