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.).

BahamasThe 18th floor had a horrible odor, and the pool was closed for a scheduled remodel. I wish the staff could have said something, I could have changed my dates so that I could relax by the pool. One of the main reasons for my travel was to relax.
The staff was exceptional and accommodating.

United StatesThe only thing that needs to change is the mildew type smell in the hallway, but the place is very clean and maintained.
The property was very nice and right in the place where we didn’t have to go far to meet our needs. They also have an awesome breakfast with everything you could want.

Trinidad and TobagoWhat I didn't like is the hotel did not indicate pool services were unavailable before check in due to a remodel of the pool. Additionally their was a flooding on one of the floors and the entire building had no water for almost 8 hours and staff had no estimate on when it would have been fixed.
The location within Panama city was great and very close to most activities. The rooms were clean and breakfast was exceptional.

JamaicaMy room on the 31st floor didn’t allow me to see the view of outside. It was misty the entire time, didn’t clear up not once. Bit disappointing especially since it’s not a balcony, it would’ve been good to be able to see, at least.
The location, had a lot of shops and restaurants around. The staff were helpful and friendly.

ArubaEverything was great. From the start we were welcomed with a smile and suggestions for whatever we asked. The room was very comfortable and the room service was on point. The location is great. We even went to the karaoke bar opposite the RIU and had a blast.
The staff was amazing! Laura was the one who handled our booking and she made sure everything went smoothly after we came a day later because of the cancellation of our flight. The beds were comfortable and the showers were a delight. The breakfast was great with a big variety of fruit and a different speciality every day. We would definitely stay at the RIU again during our next trip.

CuraçaoService at the pool restaurant can be better. It contrasted the great service we overall received in the hotel.
Breakfast was very well. There were ample choice in the offerings. One particular aspect that was very pleasing was the artistic decorations the one of the room attendants (cleaning lady) by the name of Mrs. Ashly Santos was making with towels when making up the beds. We loved it. It made us feel welcome. I made sure to also tell her that we loved and appreciated her work.
