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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Beautiful room, very well equipped. Loved the kitchenette, large bathroom, indoor and outdoor shower. Great service with sun beds on beach in front of your beach suite. Sun cushions put out every day for you. Nice pool but sea is calm and warm. Great shuttle service into Placencia or local restaurants Loved the space, privacy and peacefulness of the beach suites.

CanadaThese concerns are small since we were really happy with our stay, but just a few small things to mention. Our biggest concern was the lack of communication via email. We booked a snorkeling tour through them via email before we came, but when we checked in, the guy didn't seem to have any info on it. We were worried it wasn't booked since the lobby showed that tour offered on a different day than what we had booked with them, so we were worried it wasn't available the day we booked it. We tried to reconfirm via email, but didn't ever hear back. Luckily it worked out, but then the tour company didn't send enough transportation for everyone and we had to drive our own vehicle. We also weren't given quite the same tour that the resort had promised us since we were told our second snorkel would be a 5 min boat ride to see the sea turtles, and instead the second snorkel was just in the same place as the first. Not sure if that was the fault of the tour company or the resort, but the resort probably shouldn't promise something that doesn't happen... The beach was not the softest sand we've been too, and the ocean wasn't super inviting with all the seaweed and pieces of garbage, but not sure the resort can really do much about it since it comes in from the ocean. The restaurants could be improved a bit. The food was good but not as exceptional as other resorts we've stayed at, and the service could be a little better - we were forgotten about a couple times.
The resort itself is BEAUTIFUL. The little houses on the ocean with a gorgeous view and beach that looked like paradise with all the gorgeous trees and hammocks. The rooms were awesome! So comfortable and very well set up! Loved the outdoor shower :) We also thought it was great that they included the bikes, and kayaks and paddleboards at no charge. Restaurants were pretty great.

United StatesIn the end, Naia Resort is a well designed, planned, and maintained destination resort that runs with near flawless efficiency. The structures and supporting facilities are lovely and comfortable, but our kudos and biggest thanks go to the staff! From the shuttle drivers to reception, the concierges who helped plan our activities, and the bar, restaurant, and housekeeping staff were all gracious and wonderful. Thanks to the front desk staff, Emanuel "Manny" and Carlos, the restaurant and bar staff, Joel, Rene, Arlene and Jose "numero uno." One of the specialty guides and their level of knowledge was perhaps the most impressive during our entire two weeks in-country. From birding to insects, discovering Belizean history and its diverse cultures, the Mayan world of cacao, real chocolate, spices and Mayan ruins, this person is truly amazing and a real asset to the resort. Thank you Wilder for sharing your knowledge and making our time with you in your country so special and unforgettable!

United StatesGiven the property’s ratings and room rate, we expected much more from guest services. They unfortunately negatively impacted our stay - with numerous examples. This is not acceptable for a resort with your room rates, etc.
We loved the spaciousness of, layout and location of the Villa — and the private pool. We the rooms and beds were very comfortable. We also loved the food at the resort.

United StatesThe Internet won’t let you even check your email. I’m not talking about streaming, Netflix or anything of that sort. Nothing would work… Sea was extremely dirty as well as the beach.
Everything was good except for Internet is non-existent. They had to refund me at check out, but of course $250 refund won’t help when you pay $4000 for 6 days. Also the beach is very dirty. It’s almost impossible to swim in the sea as you will find glasses, forks, plastic and all kind of things floating over the water and on the beach. Very disappointing.

United StatesThe restaurant could never seem to get our order correct. I was extremely disappointed when we arrived and found out that the restaurant we had planned on dining at the majority of our trip was closed. There was no mention of this on their website. We chose Naia in part after looking at the menus at various restaurants knowing we didn't want to leave the resort much except for excursions. We wanted to stay at our bungalow on the beach and relax. We scheduled a day of spa treatments and instead of a 90 minute massage we only received a 60 minute massage. It was one of three treatments we were having in a row and so when we were done a half hour early we knew we had been shortchanged. Also, we scheduled deep tissue and after asking her twice if she could go deeper I gave up. The massage was more her just running her hands up and down my arm for example not a real massage for the most part. My husband and I were very disappointed. Our cottage/bungalow had a roof leak in the bathroom, the bathtub had a hole in the tile where controls should have been. You could only fill the tub with the water pressure on low to get the right temperature. It took an hour to fill the tub. We know plumbing and it was obvious the hole in the tile is where the control we needed was missing. We requested lounge chairs for the beach and they brought ones without cushions (our neighbors had cushions) so I called and requested cushions twice and they never arrived. I read about many excursions that were offered on their website but the posting they had for the week at the front desk only listed a few of them. I finally asked the front desk about that or I would have never known some, not all listed on the website, were available though they weren't posted. I'm so glad I asked! There were other issues but I figure this is enough to give you an idea.
The vast majority of the staff were wonderful and being right on the beach was breathtaking.
