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.).

United StatesI wish you would implement a no tipping rule. Since it all inclusive, there is a lot of extenuating pressure to always tip for drinks, etc. The uniforms at Los Olas are confusing, you don’t know who is a waiter or bus person. You don’t know who to ask for what. The service at Rodizio, in the evening, was horrible!!!! The waitress seemed like she didn’t want to be there, no service.We had to ask for our plates to be cleared numerous times. A big disappointment. The choices for vegan food were very limited!! I couldn’t wait to get home so I could eat something other than potatoes, bread and pasta. Maybe add some tofu dishes……
Janelle Jarvis in Los Olas was exceptional!! Always a big smile, helpful, a pleasure. The service at Takara was also exceptional!!!! First class!!

JamaicaBut you must tell them you want the sheet, cover and pillow to be cleaned for sensitive skin
The size of the resort. The room was very spacious. The attentiveness of the staff was excellent they checked on us every two hours to know if we needed anything. The variety of food to choose from several different restaurants across the property. The customer service of the staff, clean well kept outdoors and activities to choose from wether indoor or outdoor there's something for everybody. The beach was nice and clean crystal clear blue waters. Majestic views from every angle. The pool area spreads right across the resort. Bars everywhere! Energized entertainment crew. Well equipped gym. Complimentary bottle of rum and chardonnay. A romantic Dinner on the beach for an additional charge Overall this is a topnotch resort And if it's your birthday this is place you want to choose

United StatesThe staff was very friendly and attentive ...but they would start the morning pretty early (@7:15am) and sometimes they were loud in the hallway, which would wake us up. So you really couldn't sleep in past 7:15 -7:30 am. Food was mostly very good (buffets) but some of the restaurants, ie. Don Pablo & Brazilian Steakhouse, were mediocre... Asian & Japanese restaurants were very good!
I was impressed with the number of pools and the layout of the property.

United StatesThe resort seems very disorganized. Front desk doesn't always answer the phone. We ordered room service one time and it came over an hour later and the order was wrong. We asked for extra hangers the first day and it took two or three days before we got them. And yet the butler would call every morning and ask us if there was anything he could do. Actually they'd wake us up every morning to ask us if there was anything they could do. We would tell them what we needed done and nothing would happen. When we first checked into the room they assigned it had a very strong stench of mustiness/ moldiness and we asked them to try to do something about the smell in our room. They said there was nothing they could do and told us they could move us to a room seven floors up. My husband is disabled and it was not logical for us to have to move so far up because they didn't have a room available that didn't stink. Then the next day after we complained to the woman in charge of Butler's she actually got something done for us and got us moved to another room on the same floor. Her name was Tamaya Green. She was fantastic!! And she also helped us get reservations in the restaurants that I tried to get the week before we arrived and the first day we arrived and we kept getting the excuse that everything was booked. It's a ridiculous game that the Bahia plays telling people they can make reservations at the specialty restaurants and then when you get there there's nothing available or everything is overly booked and when you go to the restaurants there are plenty of empty tables. It seems to be some kind of game they play to minimize the number of people they have to serve specialty dinners to. We had additional problems in the room with a light bulb that was out and a fan that was very noisy and a shower that leaked badly but there was really nothing that could be done for any of those things. Except they did replace the light bulb.
The room was spacious.

Cayman IslandsI didn't like my room location because we had sun facing our balcony all day so we could only enjoy it during tje night, but we will upgrade next time to have a better view, I wish they had better selections with the food more Authentic jamaican food the menu was too AMERICANIZED for me. You have people coming from all over the world maybe switch it up one in a while.
I loved the scenery, the pool vibes, the restaurant food was superb. I liked the midnight snack bar. The beach was beautiful and I loved how they placed the rocks to block the waves from crashing in and destroy the beach that was a smart move. All the staff were friendly and the entertainment crew was the highlight of the entire hotel. We did have an incident with one of the security and my husband, but once we reported it to the front desk it was quickly rectified and we never encountered another issue whilst being there and they made sure to call everyday to ensure I was enjoying my birthday, I also loved they ask you what your celebrating and they quickly put a sash on the door to represent what your celebrating before you reach their that was nice and I also got roses on my bed saying " HAPPY QUEEN DAY" and a bottle of champagne I will definitely be back need to look into the privilege package!!!!

United StatesThe bellman and receptionist stole alcohol out of my luggage. I left it behind by mistake on my last day there and had to get them to give it to my driver to ship it. When he got it his boss put me on WhatsApp video call to show me the contents of my bag and the alcohol I purchase was not in there. The bellman purposely took one of my bags when I was checking out, I had no idea why they did that because I paid for my reservation in advance and because they did that I had to pay an extra $200 to get it shipped to America with my bottles of rum and tequila missing. Never coming back!!
