Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Belgium- We had to call every single time to receive clean towels. The staff were removing the dirty ones from the room without providing us with new. - The shower products need improvement, they were very bad quality - It was a bit too crowded especially when in the weekend, making it difficult to find a place by the beach/pool.
- The beach was beautiful and the pools were nice too. - The room and the rest of the establishment were clean, organised, and nicely decorated - The food and drinks were good and there were a lot of choices. The Mexican restaurant was our favourite - The majority of the staff were polite and friendly - We enjoyed the dance classes (although quite short) and the beach activities like kayak and catamaran - We had a late-afternoon flight, so we appreciated being able to stay in the premises after checking-out.

NetherlandsThe hotel met standard expectations for cleanliness and amenities, but service fell short when addressing guest needs. We were a group of 3 in a room set up for 2 and despite repeated requests for an extra towel, it was never provided. On several occasions, we had to share towels, which is unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. Despite calling five times, the staff repeatedly assured us that the towel was “on its way,” but it never arrived. Additionally, the staff appeared overworked and fatigued, which impacted their service quality. While the basics were delivered, the lack of responsiveness and visible strain on the team detracted significantly from our experience.
The hotel’s location was truly amazing and beautiful, offering a stunning setting that added a lot to our stay. The property itself was well-designed, with thoughtful aesthetics and multiple areas with activities that created an amazing holiday for us.

United StatesThe spa workers went through our belongings and stole $20 from my purse. My sister tested it out the next day and neatly folded her clothes and had her bag underneath. After her spa treatment, she was unable to open her locker (same thing that happened to me and my sisters the day before). When they opened with a master lock, all her things were everywhere and it was obvious someone looked through her bag. She told the front desk staff and he didn’t even care. That made us feel unsafe. In addition, the rooms were not cleaned well during our stay. Overall, it was okay.
It wasn’t crowded, buffet was pretty good and some restaurants were good. They had free kayaking and paddle boating which was fun. The pool was also really nice and clean.

Overall a pleasant stay with great facilities. The restaurants are good so is the staff. Swimming pools and attached bars are also excellent. Beach has some sea weed but they clean it every day and there are plenty of areas without sea weed.

United StatesThey have to figure out what they are going to do with mosquitoes inside the rooms. Literally it was very painful for us and my children. We asked for another room and they moved us to a third floor which was better in some way. But first I would like to say that the hotel director has to fix the situation with the check in process cause we stayed in a simple line like 2 hours just to check in and not only us many people were complaining about the issue.
We liked the transportation train, the pool and the buffet. Beach was very close and plenty of chairs

Peru- The quality of the meats they serve in all their restaurants is not the best. - It's really not worth paying $35 per person to go to La Comedie restaurant. The entrées were delicious, but the main courses and deserts were lacking. - The rooms have motion detectors that turn on very bright lights. Guess what happens when you need to pee when it's still dark and your wife is sleeping. - The TV we originally got was somewhat old. Thankfully Jose Gervacio from night shift maintenance got us a more modern smart TV and disabled the motion sensors in the room. He truly improved our stay.
- The resort is enormous and beautiful - There are several restaurants you can choose from that are included - The hotel staff was always willing to help you with a smile on their faces - The quality you get for the price you pay is truly amazing - The resort is extremely well-maintained and very clean - Quality of the alcohol is very good - Bavaro beach is beyond gorgeous

CanadaProbably 2 things....one, the entertainment could have been better. They had it start at 10pm which was far too late for me. Other resorts I have been to start around 7.30pm. Second, I would have liked a pool with a deep end. Maybe I didn't see it, but all the pools were very shallow. I guess they fear some drunk person drowning.
The food was absolutely fabulous. You could live on just the fruits and salads, there was so much of it. All the specialty restaurants were great as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful....I suppose it helped that I speak pretty good Spanish. The beach and ocean water were just great as well

CanadaThere are almost no English-speaking staff here. It was hard to find the elevators. It's hard to get help, even at Guest Services. So if you need anything, such as the total price you're paying at a shop? Good luck to you. We felt a lot of frustration over this aspect especially since English is supposed to be this country's second language.
The room, facilities and amenities were all excellent. These pools are superior to other resorts we have been going to Punta Cana twice a year for 8 years. The food was superior. The bars are excellent. There are shops and golf, arcade, tennis and bowling. Loved it all!

Dominican RepublicFor the drinks they are using disposable plastic cups and many people only throw it away in the sand what inevitably reaches the sea, ironically they give you the drink in a disposable cup with a paper straw,🙃, just use reusable glasses like in many other hotels I have visited, help the environment.

United KingdomWhilst there was a wide variety of foods some was done very well others not so much. You will find something to eat but you might have to have that every night at the buffet. The bookable restaurants are worth booking on your first night. The soft drinks available at the buffets do not taste anything like their namesakes.
The location is amazing, the beach is right on your doorstep and even if it's busy a short walk will take you to the quieter parts. Pools were fun and there were lots of activities to get involved with. Staff were friendly and helpful.
