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 StatesThe food needs HELP Restaurants only 1 is good ( steak house ) Asian restaurant horrible ever thing they gave you was no good I would also say they need to take time when cleaning rooms and utensils used in food area plates still had food on them spoon and forks Was not clean people put there hands in ice area at the buffet I had to clean my room my self ( I’m ok with that ) if they take there time it would be better they need more safe that will interact with you to make the place more lively that way they give you more of a fill make you feel like they happy to have you they over price for some things but other than that it was good
Round playa Blanca is a very nice place to come and stay and kick back and relax not much to do there but if you looking for a chill setting this will be the place

Clean and modern right in front of the beach. Nice pools. Excellent food and entertainment. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

ColombiaThey didn’t manage to inform us that after check out we had until 2 pm to be at the hotel otherwise we should wait at the lobby. So they went to look for us. If we received the info we would follow those instructions. Anyway hotel is really good!!!!
They managed to help us out with proper food for our babies which I highly appreciate, New Year’s Eve dinner and party was really excellent. We had such a good time in family, we traveled 12 adults + kids

LithuaniaI didn't like the horses on the beach: the smell and the feces were carried away by the ocean. The horses stood all day in the sun and on the hot sand without water. It was a very sad sight. The hotel is huge, but there are only a few showers on the beach. There are no restaurant reservations, so you have to wait an indefinite amount of time. You can't adjust the air conditioning in the room yourself.
The food was varied, and the hotel's surroundings were beautiful. Many activities were offered, the staff was friendly, and the room was clean.

PanamaOn check in: The reception machine didn’t work with our cards while it worked normally when we went to Spot 99 to withdraw money! Couldn’t find an ATM machine when we needed cash Couldn’t find a pharmacy when I felt sick It will be better if this property is for adults only no families no kids The bad environment of the Italian restaurant, very very noisy specially from the kitchen area Type of music at the pool is very old, It has to be mix, not only 80’s .. it’s very annoying.. at least it has to be some mixing of house music, pool spirit, tried to ask how to change it, they told us it’s the animation teem who are controlling it far away from the main pool ! I was surprised about the color of the beach, it’s not matching with the name of Playa Blanca
The amount of foreigners, gives a nice impression of the place The variety of food & drinks

VenezuelaAs mentioned, the restaurant options schedules were all over the place, they didn't open at the scheduled time or were pretty full, no reservations allowed it was first in first out, and that was a pain with all the people around.
The amenities and facilities were great, the buffet options as well, only downside was the restaurant options that were pretty limited and didn't comply with the shared schedule on them.

RomaniaA la carte restaurants have a very basic menu, the Italian one is even worse than the buffet. The hotel is way past its renovation date.
Easy access to the beach, which is not crowded. Most guests seem to prefer the pools. Staff is friendly and they obviously strive to provide the best service despite being understaffed and overworked. The hotel is clean.

SloveniaRoom was extremely humid! Our clothes were wet all the time. Biggest pool is adult only, they are not the cleanest I’ve seen.
Food was good, drinks also! At the bar there was not much queue so you were served pretty quick. There are lots of areas to hang out and the beach was great too - horsemen were not a problem so don’t worry. Sportsbar was super cool!
