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 AmericaThe room we stayed in *5038* had air conditioners that were loud/squeaky/ rough sounding which made it hard to sleep. The fridge also was on its last leg/ didn’t work. The outlet next to the tv stand in the bedroom didn’t work. The arm bar on the door to the balcony in the living room portion can be pulled off. *really nit picky stuff*. We had a great time and it was a nice place!
Room with ocean view was awesome. Room was very nice and clean. Resort was nice.

United States of AmericaNot much to say about this. One of the thing was that the resort was working on some of the balconies and it was very noisey. Another things was having to pay to park at $15.00 per night which actually ended up being $19.00 per night after taxes were added.
The Island Resort was an excellent place to stay. The location was near all of the things that we wanted to visit. Most of the time we traveled to eat outside the resort (not because of the food; but we were traveling around and eat on the go). We did eat a mid afternoon lunch at the resort and it was excellent. The staff was "top-of-the-line" and very friendly and listened to what we had to say or ask. Our room was excellent; it face the gulf and had a beautiful view most each day (rained and cloudy a couple of days). The beach was one of the best that we had ever been on: very soft white sand which we learned was quartz. I would recommend this resort to others.

United States of AmericaI was surprised that you have to pay $21.00 per person for breakfast, pay for chairs and then pay for parking. As expensive as the room was, those things should be included. You can go to other hotels down the road, have free breakfast, chairs and parking included and the room are less expensive.
We loved the view of the beach and watching the volleyball tournament. The convenience of the restaurants next door. Being in the middle of everything but far enough from being crowded.

United States of AmericaWe booked specifically because of the Grotto Bar, and it was closed for rehabbing during most of our stay. That was a bit disappointing. It did end up opening up the last day of our reservation, so we ended up extending our stay another night. Also, the first morning we were there they did not offer the breakfast buffet due to low capacity at the hotel, we were told. On subsequent days I believe it was available. We also requested to be moved from our room to a new one due to the fact that we could clearly hear every word being spoken in the room next to us that was connected by a door. We were surprised that would be the case in such a nice property. Our new room didn't have another connected by a door and it was nice and quiet.
The gulf view of the room was amazing. The fact that it overlooked the beach bar was nice too because we got to sit and watch people enjoying the music from the DJ right from our balcony. The volume was perfect, not too loud. The property is pretty big and sits right on the beach. We walked on the beach every morning and late at night in the moonlight. It felt like we had miles of beaches to ourselves. The room was a good size, very clean and quite comfortable.

United States of AmericaThe pool with the big waterfall was freezing cold and unusable due to temp. There was a heated pool, but it was in severe need of upkeep (it was closed the next day for that exact reason, so hooray for their attention to the issue!). We wish the other pool was also heated. Also, the photos of the resort imply beach chairs are provided on the private beach. However, they were actually for rent for almost as much as purchasing one. We felt mislead and disappointed in this, but not enough to deter us from returning. Also, there was a little visible mold growing on the ceiling of the shower. Not too surprising for a small hotel bathroom, but worth noting.
The location was beautiful! The staff was friendly and helpful.
