How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe hotel staff is lovely, the hotel is well maintained, the rooms are spacious. The downside is that there is no public transportation or shuttles from the hotel to the center, a taxi costs $15-20 one way. The hotel is a 45-minute walk to Fifth Avenue where all the pubs, restaurants, and shops are. The food in the evening, in the hotel restaurants, was not at the level we expected. You need to make a reservation in advance. We ate at the buffet which was open most of the day.
Dear Guest, Thanks for your review about our hotel. We are delighted to hear you found our rooms to be spacious havens of luxury and elegance, and our team's dedication to service shone through during your visit. Our commitment to maintaining a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere is always a top priority, and it is wonderful to know this was evident in your experience. We are mindful of your transportation feedback and appreciate your highlighting the convenience of a shuttle. While we currently offer an airport shuttle service, we understand the importance of easy access to local attractions and will keep your thoughts in mind for future improvements. We regret to hear that our culinary offerings in the evening did not meet your sophisticated palate. Our diverse array of restaurants is designed to provide a harmonious blend of international and local flavors, and we usually receive glowing remarks about our dining experiences, including our complimentary dinner at Sal Steak Cave for The Reserve guests. We are thrilled that our daily housekeeping services contributed to a clean and relaxing environment for your carefree getaway. We are hoping to welcome you back in the future. All the best.

Verified reviewI liked that there was one side for adults only. Also ELVIS !! He is the man. It was sad that we met him on our last day because he spoilt us for sure ! He took care of us even when we didn’t ask for anything he would pop on over and recommend a drink. He was also a lot of fun and made our last day amazing!
Having to book min 3 days in advance for an early dinner booking. When we arrived on our first day our first few dinners were late in the evening around 8pm or later. One night we were even told 10pm
Dear Ms. Shannon, We would like to thank you for this review of your recent experience in our hotel. It's delightful to hear that you cherished the adults-only side of our establishment, offering a tranquil and sophisticated retreat for our guests. We're thrilled that Elvis made such a positive impact on your stay with his attentive and inviting service, embodying the carefree spirit we strive for. We regret to hear about the challenges you faced with securing early dinner reservations and understand the inconvenience it may have caused. Our goal is always to provide a seamless and harmonious dining experience, and we're mindful of the importance of flexibility in reservation times.

Verified reviewSpacious rooms (when we got the “right” one), gorgeous pool in The Reserve only. Sal restaurant.
1) Do NOT book the Roulette room unless you want your room to be in the kids section of the hotel. Booking.com and the hotel’s website is completely misleading. We were convinced we’d booked the adults only room due to the confirmation we had on our booking, but it turns out our room was in the family section. We ended up paying 700USD for an upgrade to The Reserve (we’d have typically paid 1500USD but the guy gave us a discount as we complained). 2) The food is terrible. Room service in particularly is awful. The only nice meal we had was in Sal, the steak resto. 3) Large groups of Americans in the pool playing their own music and generally being loud. We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks so saw plenty come and go. It wasn’t a “one off” 4) Given that we’d paid for The Reserve (unwillingly), this offered an individual concierge service, who would message us on WhatsApp each day with activity schedules, help us with taxis and booking of restaurants. However, we had to go to them after 1.5 days of NO service. They got my number wrong, and made no effort to come to our room to resolve the issue, despite acknowledging they couldn’t get hold of us.
Dear Emily, We would like to thank you for this review of your recent experience in our hotel. We regret to hear that your booking expectations were not met initially, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It is important to us that all guest experiences are harmonious with our offerings, and we apologize for any confusion regarding the room categories. Regarding your dining experience, we strive to provide a wide array of culinary delights to please all palates and are continually inspired by feedback to enhance our gastronomy. It is disheartening to learn that the room service did not meet your expectations, and while we respect your perception, many guests revel in the variety and taste of our offerings. We appreciate your comments on the pool atmosphere, as we aim to create a carefree and inviting environment for all our guests. We also acknowledge the oversight in communication from our concierge service. Our intention is always to provide attentive and personalized service, and we are mindful of ensuring this is consistent for a truly relaxed experience. We are inspired by the positive aspects you have mentioned and will reflect on your constructive comments to continue providing an elegant and luxurious stay for all our guests. All of the team hope that we may be able to see you again in the future. Kindest regards, Guest Service Center Management

Verified reviewDining was terrific, we enjoyed the buffet and the specialty restaurants. The resort is well-maintained and the room was spacious and clean. Staff is most helpful and responsive. Plenty of drink spots.
The pool area had loud club music all afternoon, could not be there or even sit on our balcony overlooking the pool; we either went inside or found a quiet place elsewhere. The 3am AC leak was a drag, but a 3-man crew was there in a half hour to fix it. Early in our stay we were badgered to buy extra services or future visits but that decreased.
Dear Herb, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are thrilled to hear you found our dining options to be terrific, with the buffet and specialty restaurants meeting your taste for culinary delights. It is wonderful that our well-maintained resort and the spacious, clean rooms added to your comfort, reflecting our commitment to sophisticated and inviting accommodations. Our staff is dedicated to providing mindful and helpful service, and it is great to know they were responsive to your needs. We aim to offer an elegant and carefree atmosphere, so we regret that the lively poolside ambiance wasn't to your preference. We appreciate your understanding regarding the unexpected AC issue and are glad our team was swift to resolve it. The enthusiasm of our team to share our luxury services can sometimes be keen, and we're respectful of our guests' wishes to enjoy their vacation time undisturbed. We hope to welcome you back.
