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 StatesThe only negative was the bed was spring so I felt every movement of my husband, which would wake me up. But it was comfy.
The location was amazing. Steps to a clean beach and the Hip Strip. Snorkeling along the pier was great. The food was amazing! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was big, beautiful,and had all the amenities.

United KingdomSafety is an issue in Jamaica and it is not safe to leave the hotel to wander around. Organised tours are fine however. If I had to complain about anything it would be the Sun loungers both at the pool and beach. They are not very comfortable. The food is good but not exceptional. Wish they had more seafood.
The hotel is 10 mins drive from Montago Bay airport situated right on the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Soft white sand and crystal clear water. The staff are all very friendly and nothing is too much of a problem. The rooms with a balcony are huge and very comfortable. If you’re looking for a wild party this is not the place for you. There is a very chilled reales vibe about the hotel. Gentle reggae music is played during the day around the pool. There are activities to join in every day.

United StatesHonestly, can’t think of a thing I would change.
This was a phenomenal property in terms of cleanliness, easy to navigate, well laid out. I truly enjoyed the boutique nature of this hotel. The food was amazing with a great variety and every staff person from the manager to the lifeguard was friendly and accommodating.

Everything was excellent (staff, comfort, food and drink, facilites, entertainment) etc. The view from our room was stunning. The room itself and the bed were very comfortable. The staff (in the restaurants, on the beach, the housekeepers, management) were outstanding.

GermanyWe attended the cocktail mixing class and it just seemed kind of unprepared and non-rehearsed, and we walked away from the class not having tried any of the drinks which just seemed odd. We felt like it could have been much more polished and entertaining. Rashay was the only reason it was even slightly lively (she is awesome by the way)! The biggest con came to light on our last evening when the tiki bar on the beach (not owned by S hotel) was having a party with blasting music that literally rattled our walls (we were in a beachfront room) until 2:30 in the morning. We finally called the front desk at 2:30am and complained, they called the tiki bar and they agreed to end the music. I hate even mentioning this because S hotel doesn't have anything to do with this bar, but if it is keeping paying customers awake until the wee hours of the morning it does need to be brought up. I very much appreciated the call from the manager the next day regarding the issue and he assured me that it is an ongoing conversation they're working on resolving. If this issue is sure to be resolved, my husband and I would come back and stay at this resort in an instant!!!
We were very warmly greeted at check-in and offered warm towels and water which was so nice! The food and drink was honestly outstanding which I wasn't expecting with it being an all-inclusive. One day we utilized the pasta bar at the marketplace buffet and we are still talking about how delicious it was. All of the restaurants had really really good food but our favorites were Roots Rock and Rocksteady. My husband and I especially enjoyed the smaller size of the hotel as we do not like large crowds. The vibe was super chill which we loved since we are two parents trying to escape for a break. All of the staff was very warm and friendly! Loved the small private beach area and the proximity to the airport. Had an absolutely outstanding experience here overall!

United StatesAlthough it has 3 restaurants, most of them are not available. We could try only 2 even with advanced reservation at the check-in. House-keeping left the floor wet in the room after cleaning. RootsRock restaurant at the 6th floor is extremely slow. The waitress has nonchalant attitude, we had to wait for 30 mins for each course. I won't recommend that restaurant based on our experience. Beach-side waitress made us feel discriminated. She was smiling and friendly towards the white couple in front of us. But her smile was gone immediately as she switched to take our order. She acted like an officer without any sign of friendliness. We were polite and prepared to tip her. But it was very slow and we did not tip her due to her attitude. Following days, we just walked to order directly from the bar.
Buffet and pool side grill bar food and drinks are superb. Facilities and amenities are well kept and cleaned. Security guards at the beach entrance are very kind and helpful in setting up chairs and towel. Check-in and checkout process are smooth and they were gracious to accommodate our flight arrival and departure time. The front-desk fulfilled my request for my parent's anniversary surprise. Staff as buffet place are friendly and very helpful. We appreciated their services. Activities facilitator is awesome and we had a great time!

United StatesSurprisingly, there was nothing I did not enjoy. This is one of my most memorable vacations. Everything was smooth from the airport until we left.
I was looking for a boutique hotel to accommodate my mom and me as the bigger resorts seem overwhelming to me and I prefer a more personal approach. That is exactly what we got. The hotel looked so beautiful, the bedroom was a good size for 2 people, the food was delicious and we ate well every day. The staff made sure to check in if we needed things, I never felt pressured by anyone to tip, but we did tip after every service. The resort has a daily agenda of things you can do (Sunset Yoga, Resort Tour, Mixology Class, Water Aerobics, Live Music every night) which made the stay enjoyable. The access to the beach is so convenient and they have people who set up chairs and umbrellas for you. It was also nice that our access to the beach was reserved for those staying at the resort and staff would still ask us on the beach for drink orders.

United StatesMontego Bay isn’t the nicest part of Jamaica but we really felt no need to venture around the city as the hotel had everything we wanted.
Slice of heaven so convenient to the airport. Everything was top notch. The staff went above and beyond what we have experienced at other all inclusive hotels. No struggles to find a beach chair or space by the pool. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking to relax. Bring your gear for decent snorkeling right in front of the hotel.
