Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesOne of my outlets did not work, they never came to fix it so we had to share one outlet by the bed. The power kept cutting off. I had a test to take and in the middle of it the WiFi went off out of no where, lights went out randomly and this didn’t happen once.. it happened about four times.

United StatesWas not impress with the beach. It was like walking in mud and I kept getting stuck. Don't know what can be done about the beach. The outside vendors occupied the beach area in the water but they were just trying to make a living
love the variety of food and drink. The entertainment was very cultural and historic. the variety of the music played was very good and catered to everyone

United KingdomThe food was well below standard, worst i've ever had in Jamaica, maintenance of the property was poor (our toilet kept blocking), some of the staff on reception were rude and generally unhelpful.
I liked the location, the size, the pools and the proximity to the beach.

United StatesThe rooms were dirty and paper thin walls. You could hear everything next door, upstairs and in the halls. I found small roaches in room that would mostly come out at night. The food was not all that great. Lacked flavor. They did have a wide Varity though. Most of the staff wasn't friendly. Seemed like they all hated their job. There are many other options for hotels. I would choose a different location. Maybe something a bit newer.
The pools and beach was nice. Very close to airport.

United StatesThe walking distance to the rooms is long, no elevator to get on the second floor which seems like the worst walk to get up with your luggage, not enough bell man to help, service is slow. The door was locked and I couldn’t open it with the key only to find out the door battery needs to change so that was a long walk to the front desk then to your room to wait another half hour for service maintenance.
The staff and food .

United StatesThe only thing I can say they can improve on are the beds, very low to the ground, not enough pillows and or cushion for the mattress. Couch in room could be updated. I will still stay again even without the improvements!
Very clean, and I like how everything was right there. I wak out of my room and literally just steps from the beach, the vibe of the staff and guest. I traveled alone and I felt safe and cared for as most of the staff knew I was alone. I liked the walking proximity to shops and food off of the resort. I will definitely be back to this resort.

United StatesOur bed was broken, it wasn't a King bed. It was to full size beds with wheels pushed together. And as mentioned one bed was broken. Our room flooded after a storm and we had to clean up the water that kept coming in throughout the night because nonone cleaned the water out of the hallways after it stopped raining. It was all coming into the rooms. I paid for an oceanview, which was obstructed by all the damn trees.

United StatesRiu uses recycled paper, so when providing a receipt, they also provide other guests name, date of birth and email address which should be private. RIU does not provide blankets in all rooms, therefore you have to practically beg for a blanket! We had to ask 3 times!! RIU does not provide drinking straws or stirrers for coffee, which is plain cheap!!! Most importantly RIU does not have elevators— I had to travel 4 flights of stairs with a swollen ankle. I will never stay at this resort again!
The pools were abundant
