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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesMy wife and I had come to Rui Palace about 5 yrs. ago and really enjoyed our stay and always talked about returning but not able to due to family health issues. Now that we are able to watch our grandson we made it a point to return as we knew it would be a wonderful family experience including my son, wife, grandson, & brother and girlfriend. We ALL TOTALLY enjoyed our stay and plan to RETURN SOON. We LOVED the rooms, pools, views, buffet, access to beach, and this time the Water Park next store for our grandson. We would like to give a shout out to staff again for the cleanliness factor the means so much. Shout out to Fernando at the Front Desk when we checked in for his professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to making our stay special. Also Valet Pablo who took care of our luggage every time, provided local information, and did with warm communication skills. My wife and I thought RIU PALACE was just like it was 5 yrs. ago which is a compliment and no wonder it is HiGHLY REVIEWED. Oh, one difference is they added 3 pickle ball courts that we enjoyed daily!! We had 3 Ocean View Junior Suites and stayed 5 nights dates Jan. 20-25, 2024.
The Breakfast buffet is excellent with a large variety of food choices. The service by staff was wonderful as we were traveling with family (2 yr. old grandson) and staff immediately became familiar with us for our stay and had a high chair ready for us in the morning that was sanitized and covered.

United StatesEverything was great until we got ready to check out. They tried to charge us for something we didn’t do. My husband and I wasn’t going for it cause we know we didn’t do anything and they wasn’t about to put that on us. Once they showed us the picture it even looked like an old picture. It’s sad cause I wonder how many people they have done this too.
The moment we got to hotel they served us a welcome drink! The hotel is very nice and clean. Our room was amazing, we had a corner view that showed 2 ocean view at 2 different angles. It was so amazing an beautiful!

CanadaRooms can be a bit noisy with the hallway noise, or hearing the late night parties from the other resort, but manageable.
Great location. Staff super friendly. Food was excellent for an all-inclusive. Italian restaurant was the best.

CanadaI couldn't stay longer and my friends said, they wished that they could stay longer. It's a good location to get to many places of interest.
The Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner options and restaurants are good and always fresh. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The property is always in nice looking condition and the RIU always maintains it to look beautiful and natural. I booked for friends and they love it at all 3 RIUs in Los Cabos.

United States- There are too many flies. there were bees and bugs inside the display shelf where the cupcakes and pastries were kept. It was ver unappetizing and made us wonder how unclean and unhygienic their food prep was. - The alcohol, though free, was watered down and was very bad quality. The bartenders asked for a tip every tip every time - The food buffets had a lot of variety. But the was taste was very bland. - They have 4 speciality restaurants on the property - only ONE was worth the wait. They do not take reservations. Seat people on first come basis - and have waits for 1.5-2 hours! Not worth the wait at all. - The resort has a transportation company that does not allow Ubers to com t to the resort. We ended up paying 3x the fare to visit anything outside the Resort. Again, TIP was expected, or they would delay calling our taxi - They did not have a concierge desk to guide us. We wanted to go for a hike, but no one was there to help. The staff kept pushing us to the vendors they have in the hotels. Again, 3x the cost! - TIPping was the biggest irritant. The whole idea of overpaying for an all-inclusive resort is so that you don't have to carry cash (or your wallet) to the bar, pool, for dinners, for fresh towels, every time we ordered room service, etc. - We were also chastised for booking through Booking.com. The people who booked directly brought Riu were provided free transportation (a $80 value for family of 4) to and from the airport. We did not have that privilege as we chose the discount through Booking.com and did not opt to book directly through them.
It was nice and open spaces. The swim-up pool room that we had was nice; but our room faced the Riu Santa Fe which was very noisy - no privacy.

United StatesThe only downside of my trip was that the employees there barely spoke English and it was challenging to naviagte through the place since it was so big. Also, I’ve had this before, but my room smelled like mold or like a room that was closed for a long time. It didn’t go away by the end of my stay. Which was really upsetting.
This property is huge and gorgeous! Situated right on the beach, with magnificent pools, beautiful views, fresh and healthy food, just absolutely amazing. It’s also very clean. They legit clean everyday!

The food was awful. We avoided eating there because the food temperature was always cold. The sushi restaurant was the worst I've ever had. The bartenders get annoyed when you ask for a drink. The quality of the food, drinks and facilities are not nowhere near than those in the Caribbean. We will not come back
