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 StatesBed was not good - too soft had a backache from it
Our room was great ocean view - staff kept it clean and well stocked. Only negative was the bed wasn't great was too soft. We didn't do all inclusive and the price for food was a lot for the amount/ quality but most of it was good just expensive we did spend less not going all inclusive then if we had. Location was great close to airport and a beautiful beach. We went during summer - a down time so had lots of space and quiet beach to ourselves at times - we loved it

United StatesNothing, our stay here was as good as it gets.
This is one of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. The resort was beautiful but the staff was the differentiating factor. Every staff member from the restaurant to the front desk was extremely professional and took the extra effort to make sure my group was being taken care of. Highly recommend Blue Waters resort for anyone looking to enjoy paradise, good food, and amazing service.

United Kingdomthe property is perfect, I cannot make any negative comments.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite Blue Waters Resort in Antigua, it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. From the moment we set foot on this tropical paradise, we were captivated by the sheer beauty of the surroundings and the unparalleled level of hospitality. Nestled along the pristine shores of the Caribbean Sea, Blue Waters Resort is a haven of tranquility. The resort's stunning private beach, with its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, truly had us breathless. Whether we were lounging under a swaying palm tree, taking a dip in the refreshing ocean, or simply strolling along the shore, every moment we spent on the beach felt like a blissful escape from reality. The resort itself is a testament to luxury and elegance. The architecture and design seamlessly blend traditional Caribbean charm with modern amenities, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rooms and suites are tastefully decorated, with great air conditioning, our apartment offered breathtaking views of both the ocean or the lush tropical gardens. The accommodation is spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the necessary comforts to ensure a comfortable stay. What truly sets Blue Waters Resort apart is the exceptional level of service provided by the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles, a refreshing cocktail and genuine hospitality. The staff members went above and beyond to cater for our every need, ensuring that we felt welcomed and valued throughout our stay. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made us feel like VIP guests. The dining experience at Blue Waters Resort is a culinary delight. The resort boasts a variety of restaurants, each offering a unique menu and ambience. From fine dining with a Caribbean twist to casual beachside eateries, there was a dining option to suit every mood and palate.

United StatesThe house keeping lady was pretty pushy she didn’t like when the kids slept past 8am, we came from Arizona which is 3hrs behind! Even on the checkout day, she came at 8am and kept asking what time we will be out she was really annoying.
The grounds are beautiful and the beach is well kept! It’s clean and employees are friendly. While we were in Antigua we visited Darkwood Beach, which has the clearest water really good for snorkeling, Jolly Harbor Beach is also nice. Pigeon Point Beach (PPB) is nice has a lot of trees for shade and you see a lot of boats PPB is located at the English Harbor! You must visit English Harbor, on Sundays they have a food venders and music at Shirley Heights where people go to watch the sunset, the views are breathtaking.

United KingdomNot much to add on the negative side, these are minor points. The sea was wavy most of the time we were there. Also kids room /club was great, but only for 5 years plus.
Overall it was incredible. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. The grounds are stunning. Rooms were lovely, especially top floor. Food was good. Spa treatments excellent. Beautiful beach. While on holiday, our son had broken his arm and the staff were incredible and super responsive, organised a trip to the emergency room for us. Cannot thank them enough for all the support and assistance! would definitely recommend for a family trip.

United KingdomAs with many of the hotels in Antigua there is a lingering 90"s feel to the location, food and entertainment. If you are in the crescent of rooms either side of the main bar area, the evening music and entertainment will impact you until 10.30 pm. I did enquire about relocation to the Cove suites but it would have doubled the cost of the holiday so we stayed put. Some of the acts are good and a couple not so but you do get to listen to them whether you want to or not! The music caters for an older generation but i guess the hotel knows its customer base. The beach bar is popular although if its busy, there is an element of the english disease of getting your towel on the sun beds around it early which means an prompt start to the day if you want a good spot. I wouldn't judge the resort as 5 star by European standards today but it would certainly be one of the better ones in Antigua in their price bracket.
Breakfast was good as was the location itself. Only ate once in the hotel dining area which was ok. This is a resort location as many are in Antigua. Easy enough to get around and about by taxi although wherever you go its a flat rate of $30 so sometimes that was good value and other times it wasn't. Antigua has gone up in price since i was there last some 7 years ago which its understandable. We didn't take the all inclusive option as we didn't want to eat every night at the hotel but the drinks are expensive and i think it would have been better value to do so. on reflection. The rooms were well presented and clean as were the bar areas. Some staff were excellent others not so but overall the levels of service were good. A lot of attention had been paid to the grounds and the presentation of these was excellent. Best restaurant we found was one called the Nomad which is about 10 mins from the resort. Very lovely location and a very relaxing holiday
