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 KingdomNot enough sun loungers around the main pool meant that guests put their towels out from 6.30am onwards. We were heading to breakfast at 8am and found only one or two options for seats around the pool left. By the time breakfast was over, they were all claimed with no one in them until much later in the morning. We got caught out on the first day without seats and had nowhere to sit until 3pm. The resort should really consider adding more seating around the pool to ease access for all guests and resolve the feeling of competition for space.
Very friendly staff and free flowing cocktails.

United KingdomSome of the staff can be very unfriendly - others are great. The overpriced photo's.
Location was incredible, the resort has everything you could need and more. Some of the food can be hit and miss but are plenty of options, we particularly enjoyed dinner at Barefoot and Kimono's. The entertainment team do a great job with the activities on offer during the day. Also big shoutout to the watersports team, they will make a big effort to take you to different spots for the snorkelling.

United StatesThe staff was great and friendly. had a wonderful time. the only recommendation would be to have more drink services on the beach. They barely came by barely came and when they did it would take a long time for them to return.
The property was clean, beautiful and very accommodating.

United StatesWe are in our 40s and the average people in this stay was about 60. Music was very minimal. Staff seemed bothered. Food was kind of bland. Not a party environment more like a retirement
Some of the staff were very nice but most were bothered. Example at the swim up bar they seem frustrated to serve us.

United StatesThis may sound nit picky. But I did not like the need for reservations for the descent restaurants. We were barely able to squeeze in a time for us at Eleanors on our anniversary. We had to choose a very late dinner time from a cancelation they had. Thank God for Angel our Culinary Concierge. She helped us get in that evening. Also, it was very hard to get a hold of concierge at certain times when ordering room service. I understand it is sometimes busy but I had to call the desk several times before someone picked up the line.
The staff, entertainment, and food was great. Tenesha & Jennifer were delightful. There was another gentleman (Antonio or Tony) that served us at the main pool. He was very nice to us as well. We were disappointed that he was not going to be back at the pool the next day. We also appreciated the maids coming by twice a day to see if we needed anything. Makes me wonder if it was because of the type of room we were in (honeymoon suite)? We were thinking of reserving a cottage room next time. We hope to receive the same service. We also loved the singing to us goodbye. Very nice touch. We will definitely book at a Sandals on our next Caribbean trip. Probably Ochos Rios.

Isle of ManGood afternoon guys I am currently sat here on my final few hours before i return to the uk and wanted to take the time to highlight some exceptional service. We stayed in room 625 and i hope this helps to identify the individuals mentioned below. Me and my partner now fiance Maria have had an incredible time and the staff here to be some of the best in the world. I personally wanted to highlight some spacific individuals who have enhanced our stay here with a real attentive, impeccable customer service and above and beyond helpfulness to make this more than just a holiday but more an experience that has made Antigua feel like a home from home. All the staff we friendly, happy to help and always said hello. We loved it. Firstly, Antonio, i think he recently arrived from st kits himself, who was one of the waiters, was brilliant, always happy to help, has a real energy about himself, loved chatting with him, a real credit to himself and his family and the sandals group. I wish him every success in life because his hard working attitude deserves it. There was a other female waitress but i unfortunately forgot to take her name but she was nothing but brillaint in her own right. The female equivalent of antonio. Our waiter in elenors was great. Loved chatting, allowed us to try the special which tasted amazing. Selena on reception, was always happy to help and give some pointers with local tours and helped with me booking shirley heights. another exceptional member of staff. Hotdog guy kosie was brillaint, loved speaking with him and getting to know him, always happy always friendly, i made a point of saying goodbye to him. At the dive center, our dive instructor who assisted Maria in her certification is a credit to padi and to the sandals group. His name i think was Urantis but goes by poker. Patient, understanding, a real calming influance, incredibly knowledgable and equally important a great person.
