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 KingdomWe booked late due to a cancelled flight and chose the Crane because of its reputation and position to the airport, even though a room was £500 per night. On arrival we were greeted by concierge (tick) but then afterwards met with disinterested desk staff. We were shown to our first room which was not made up, dreary and the furnishings were worn and in some cases the fabric was ripped. We returned to the desk and requested a change in room ( no apology ). Allocated and taken to our second room to find the room had already been taken, thankfully the holiday makers were not in their room when we entered. Back to the the desk (no apology) We complained and waited for the desk manager. Whilst waiting we did notice the upkeep of the reception area ( hotel in general ) is extremely poor. The soft furnishing in reception are in very poor condition, dirty, dusty and ripped. Mismatched and poor quality. Desk manager approached and offered a $100 resort spend (no apology) which we accepted but still required a decent room given that we expected to vacate at 3 am for an early morning flight ( time now 7.30pm) Duty Manager arrives (does apologise) and promises to resolve. 20 minutes later shown to an upgraded room which was part for their Diamond Collection. Large, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room. All in all a very peculiar space, nothing on the walls, mis matched furniture, 5 different types of wood, kitchen over painted ( from the regular dark brown) in brilliant white. Removable covers on sofa's appeared to have been washed but had shrunk so did not fit properly. Anyway off to get some food.............chased staff to order after being ignored for 20 minutes. Chased staff for order after nothing for a further 20 minutes, reminded staff of order. Told food would be 10-15 minutes...........45 minutes later....... you get the picture Too large, underinvested, no leadership, poor quality....did get our $100 resort spend deducted when leaving (of course)
The hotel is convenient for the Airport and has a number of different style restaurants

SpainThe staff is very unprofessional, unfriendly, unwilling to help in any way. The windows of the rooms let in all the outside noise. outside noise. We were given a room that was 5 meters away from the bar and restaurant area of the hotel. We could hear the music completely. Also you can hear all the noise from outside. The facilities are poorly maintained. The bathroom light did not work. We couldn't sleep all night. All this in a room that cost us more than 650 US dollars a night.

United KingdomThe room was poor value , even by Barbados standards . Yes it was large , particularly the bathroom , however it was dingy and depressing in decor , very tired looking and badly in need of an update . No sea or pool view . The jacuzzi bath had no plug and none was forthcoming when requested so that put paid to that . Wine glasses were requested but champagne glasses delivered instead . Apparently this enormous hotel had none . Room service ( burger and chips ) was delivered covered in clingfilm which made it soggy look even more unappetising than it was already . Easily the worst meal eaten in Barbados . The request to alter the taxi. Time for the morning was an impossible task for them , as they didn’t know who they had booked it with . The hairdryer didn’t work . A depressing end to the holiday .
The lady that checked us in and showed us to our room, Joan was very nice . The guy that checked us out the next morning was pleasant enough . The toiletries in the bathroom were good .

United StatesElevator access to the beach was not working and looked like it had been out of service for a while. One of our party was unable to go to the beach because the alternative was using the steps. Please get this fixed.
The top floor with the pool on the roof with a fantastic ocean view was just over the top! We are working on how we can return for a full week in the near future. The "Village" on property make everything convenient. Thanks.

United StatesThis is nothing we they could have changed, but the beach was full of sea weed and we were not able to swim in the ocean. The resort had a free shuttle to a beach on the other side of the island and that beach is idyllic!
The room was incredibly specious and the view was beautiful from the balcony. We stayed in a studio and enjoyed our welcome gift of wine from the resort. The staff is not only helpful but incredibly friendly.
