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.).

Additional cleaning/check in should be added. -Room 2005, had a wet/mildew smell -Housekeeping never left small hand towels after providing services

United StatesThe suite had a weird smell that was overpowering but outside of that the room was beautiful as pictured. The wasn’t really an adult side considering we stayed on the adults only section of the restaurant. The resort kinda died down after 11pm. The resort is definitely catered towards family. Good thing our main goal is was to relax and not party.
Staff was amazing and invested in making our trip memorable. The food was delicious and the pools were clean.

United KingdomI stayed on both the Royalton side and the hideaway side however my room on the Hideaway side was a little dirty and dated. The sofa in my room was covered in stains, my shower room was also stained and my wall by the sink. I don’t think this is a fault of the resort or staff but most likely prior guests however it wasn’t a nice site to see. My room in the Royalton side was perfect with no issues so I just assume the building I was in for the Hideaway side was more dated than my Royalton building.
The property and resort is lovely. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the resort has everything you expect to find.

United StatesWe did not like that the restaurants were not available when we were told that they were taking walk-ins but only to refuse entry because we did not have a reservation made by a butler. We walked around to 3 restaurants with the same issue. We were given a buzzer and waited for about 20 minutes only to be told we could not be accommodated due to multiple large parties. Hideaway front desk were not always courteous or willing to help.
We liked how convenient it was for us to book a hotel short notice when we were not happy with our previous reservation. The beach was nice and not congested. The Hideaway pools were not crowded and easily accessible. Most of the staff were very nice and pleasant.

United StatesThe majority of staff were amazing, but we did have a number of issues with one member of staff at the front desk. During our check-in process, he offered to make reservations for us each night at the same time for different restaurant on the property (restaurants are pretty impossible to have dinner at without a reservation if you are a family). On the night of our first reservation, the restaurant turned us away and said they had no record of our booking. No reservations had been made at any restaurant for us. We went back to the same staff member at the front desk the next day and asked him to make the reservations. He sent us a print-out of each booking. We were turned away again that night, again because no restaurant had any record of a reservation for us! We were finally accommodated the following night, but it was quite an inconvenience to get all dressed up for our ‘reservations’ and end up being turned away and stuck in the buffet for dinner repeatedly. I really recommend against using this staff member at the front desk for reservations, even if he offers! The only other issue we had at the property was also dealt with by him. We used the laundry service and they lost half of our items! When we brought the issue to him he said it was our word against theirs and that he would still be charging us for the items of laundry that we did get back!! After a lot of back and forth, he agreed not to charge us, but did not apologize or make any attempt to find our missing items, so we had to leave the resort without them. Other than that, our stay was perfect! The resort is beautiful and the staff were mostly great!!
Beautiful resort, everything new and spotless. The rooms were very large and comfortable. It’s a large resort and never felt full or busy, there is plenty of space to relax in a different area every day.

United StatesWe decided like the comfort of the beds. We also were so upset that there was only one working 2 socket plug in our room. There was 2 only in the room (with about 4 other 3 socket plugs) and we asked for the second one to be looked at but it was not. The adults side is NOT worth the extra funds, doesn’t seem like a adult side at all
We really loved the staff and especially the ones at the bar. We loved the different pool locations too. We also really enjoyed the music and different activities that we could enjoy at night. We actually loved housekeeping services and the room service was fabulous. Food was okay and typical hotel food. Over all is was very romantic and so perfect for couples. We did the romantic dinner on the beach and it was a nice experience for us and the food the chef cooked was AMAZING.

United KingdomSpa out of action due to flooding, gym only part open due to flooding. Not notified of this before arriving or on arrival only found out when I went to use them. The bars- if something had run out, it wasn’t replaced, I had to constantly ask to get what I wanted to drink. Majority of staff were friendly and wanted to help, but there are a lot of staff who probably shouldn’t be in hospitality, no eye contact, no smile, no interaction.
Great location, great choice of restaurants for the evenings, lovely beach, great pools, some great staff, own lobby with snacks and drinks available all day.

United KingdomIt is quite noisy at night until about midnight due to the entertainment which takes place until 11 and then everybody going back to their rooms. But for us this was only a minor inconvenience and didn’t affect our enjoyment, just might be a factor if you want a truly calm and serene holiday. There isn’t loads of storage for clothes so if there’s two of you here for a fortnight with two massive cases you may struggle for space but we made it work as we only had one large case between us. It is a predominantly English/Brit crowd with a few Canadians and Americans thrown in, which wasn’t a problem for us as fellow Brits, but you may tire of the footy on some of the bar televisions and the sports updates around the pool. Everybody we met though was lovely and no bad behaviour.
The quality of everything from the staff to the facilities is outstanding. Check-in was smooth and the staff were able to help us with additional requests like an itemised bill for expenses. Things that can’t always be taken for granted at an all inclusive hotel really are all inclusive here. As many towels as you want, as often as you want them. No need to fuss with bills at the bar. Mini bar in the room is completely complimentary and you can ask for things to be included, water, fizzy drinks and also beer. The beds are SO comfortable and the room was really thoughtfully decorated, enough “stuff” to feel comfortable but not too cluttered. Can’t compliment the staff enough, polite, attentive and helpful all round. We stayed late oct-early Nov: the weather was changeable but rain moved though quickly and the hot days were frequent and the sun powerful.

United StatesMaking reservations for the restaurants were very difficult and nearly impossible. Extra cost for certain items at certain restaurants when the resort was suppose to be All-inclusive was a surprise. The pools closed at 6pm which is very early. The staff wasn’t all that friendly. Many staff members were unhappy and not pleasant. My room didn’t get water for 2 days and we had to keep calling and one day house keeping didn’t bring us any toilet tissue. Me and my guest didn’t feel the warm welcome that others from our party felt.
The property was beautiful. The pools and beach were immaculate. The rooms were big and spacious. The shower I loved it so much. The hibachi restaurant was so good. The DJs on the beach really brought the party together.

I didn’t enjoy the excursion team hassling us on a day to day basis. I also didn’t enjoy the ground floor room which smelt of damp / mould. The food here is pretty average, I don’t recall a single meal that I really enjoyed.
