Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaSuper friendly and helpful staff! Every meal in our 5 night stay was fantastic and healthy. The wildlife on the property was an added bonus with spider monkeys and coati seen frequently right outside our room! Very relaxing adult vacation with modern architecture with a zen feel at the pool, spas and in the rooms. Not for those looking for a party environment ( but a short walk up the beach if you wanted that), more of a quiet, relaxing spot to be pampered at. Highly recommend and very likely to return

United States of AmericaRoom was spacious and clean, huge bathroom. However, the mattress is HARD as a rock, our first 2 nights we had back pain, but the staff was gracious and changed us to a newer room w/ better mattress and a bed that didn't creak. Temperature is an issue, our AC was working then stopped. It's about 27C in the room most of the time and they didn't get around to fixing that, so that was another issue. Overall everything else was amazing, the food was outstanding. The noise level was minimal, we woke up to the birds chirping, the compound is vast and we had drivers taking us from one place to another. The rooms are in the jungle with alligators, monkeys etc right outside. The beach had lots of seaweed and the waves were kind of rough but we had 1-2 days of good weather where we were able to get into the water. If you walk up the shore for about 5-10 mins there are areas that are much calmer and cleaner water w/ no seaweed. Distance from main city is about 20 mins by taxi, costs about $25, we went once, but honestly, we had everything we needed at the resort so I would just stay in the hotel. Overall 8/10 because the mattress and AC was an issue.

Canada- A/C is not strong enough, no option to make cooler in the room - cleaning staff only does a great job if you tip - it takes multiple requests over multiple days to get things done (e.g. filling the pool, getting things sent to the room) - seaweed on beach is not cleaned up - menu is always fine dining, not very many casual options
- extremely friendly staff, particularly at the restaurants

United States of AmericaNew Bicycles desperately needed for the rooms and it’s such a shame that the outdoor bath is not very usable - the beach was out of action because of the seaweed problem this time of year so only the pool was available for cooling off and it was not clean enough.

CanadaBlue Diamond resort is a truly gorgeous, well maintained and beautiful resort. The sensitivity to the ecosystem and environment was wonderful and we felt very fortunate to be able to experience the natural jungle wildlife like spider monkeys coati, crocodiles, iguanas, wild deer and the many gorgeous birds. So special!! However, the true stars of the resort are the outstanding staff who provided VIP service and attention. We felt so warmly welcomed and appreciated. It was so lovely to see the staff interacting so warmly with each other and they seemed to be very happy and we always heard laughter. The room was spacious, lovely and very comfortable. It was great to always have a well stocked minibar with water and drinks and the housekeeping staff always kept the room clean. Please remember to take pesos to tip after meals and daily housekeeping. The theme nights and dinners were wonderful and especially the Fireshow was outstanding and the Mexican dancers and mariachi band were fantastic. The food was delicious and varied and at Ambar men are asked to wear pants and shoes, not sandals, it was lovely to get a little dressed up. We hope we can return soon for another visit and highly recommend Blue Diamond.

HungaryWe had an issue with our room (a small animal made a nest behind the walls) what made a lot of noise during a night. When we mentioned to the staff, they sent a guy who couldn't fix it, so they offered a new room for us. After all, it was a success story and they managed it professionally.
The food was very good. The service also. The staff is very friendly and polite. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to spend some time in a quite and nice place.

United States of AmericaMy room was confirmed to me as having a bathtub. I had an email confirmation stating just that. I attached that in the pics. It did not have one, and the staff were unwilling to help. Booking also did not help me and their customer service was very rude to both my husband and I. This is very important when I book a room. I would have stayed at another location with a bathtub. I really need a tub to shave my legs and relax. I do not use showers unless I have to and that is why I double checked and made sure it was in print. I expected some form of apology for the false advertisement along with a respectful refund. The Blue Diamond offered nothing and Booking offered $27. Be prepared to walk a lot. There are golf carts but getting one when you need one is not easy. Concierge rarely answers the phone. The bed is very uncomfortable. The plunge pool out on the patio is not functional making the patio appear run down. The “Water Circuit” just means the sauna in the spa along with a small pool. The seaweed is out of control during this season and this resort can't fix it because of its location. I expected a relaxing, luxury, stay. This was far from my experience.
The staff was very friendly and helpful besides the concierge. The nature was pretty.
