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):
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.).

RomaniaThe power was off for almost a day and therefore we had no possibility to charge phones, to use AC or ventilators. The water pressure in the shower was quite low and this was annoying when you need to wash your hair. Also, the bathroom lighting was poor. The resort has no sand beach.
The hotel is on Grande Isla surrounded by forest. I have mostly enjoyed the the garden which was beautiful and well maintained by the staff. The rooms were spacious and could accommodate more than 2 persons having 2 double beds.

United StatesLeaving the property to explore the island was only through a gate. It was supposed to be locked at night but was locked early and no one answered the phone #, we waited for half an hour by the gate waiting to be let in.
Breakfast was good if you were early. Everything was clean.

GermanyFood could be served a little quicker and the price is a little high for the room we got. It's nice, basic and nothing dramatically wrong with it, but for this very expensive price we expected a little more.
We stayed one night in between our dive days and the dive shop is directly in the hotel area, which is great! It's the only opportunity to also see the bioluminescence if you do the 5 dives - 1 night package and we could swim with the bioluminescent plancton for free next to the hotel after our night dive and even use the dive masks to really see it well - definitely recommend that, in total it was absolutely worth spending the money to stay here!

IrelandI would stay here again however simple improvements like covering the breakfast food so flies and birds could not take it would make the experience so much better. Food and drink is expensive but it is very nice.
I was hesitant to stay here after reading some of the reviews but I am so glad we did. The staff were so lovely and friendly, the welcome drink was very appreciated and we had a lovely airconed room. We rented some snorkels and enjoyed swimming in the water. This place is ideal to relax in.

United StatesIt would be nice if they had a jug of water in the lobby that we could refill water bottles. This would reduce waste and make the hotel more eco friendly. We did appreciate that water was sold in glass bottles vs plastic and was only about 5,000cop. The pool does need some tile repair but we did see them making improvements to the kiddie pool. I imagine it isn’t an easy process on an island. The old slide is gone as well. The water was clean but it did stain our light colored suites for some reason. No problem with dark suites. Very strange. The music isn’t bad for the first day, but 5 days of the same two playlist gets old. It would be nice to have a variety. We didn’t feel like we were locked in as others said. Most don’t decide to leave it seemed like. Although the door is supposed to get locked at 6. One day we left and were back at 5:50 and it was locked. Another day it was locked at 5. You can scoot around on the beach to get in so not a big deal, but be consistent. Just like some nights the music was turned off at 10 and some at 9pm. Having it turned off at dinner time may be more appropriate. Lastly, after traveling the country for 3 weeks, we’re surprised about how expensive drinks were. We knew they would be inflated but we were paying 20,000 for Club Colombia. We probably would have spent more money there if there were cheaper drink options. They do take credit card though. Overall we would recommend this resort even with this feedback.
We were a little hesitant to stay here after reading past negative reviews. We were very pleased to see that it seems management has listened and made improvements to the resort. We booked transfer through them. There are faster and cheaper boats, but it made our trip easier. Some complained about being dropped off early and picked up late on departure. We loved the fact we were able to maximize our stay with no additional cost. We swam for a few hour before checking in and checking out. It felt like we got two extra days out of our stay. We arrived with a complimentary welcome drink and quickly were ushered away from the day trippers so we could get checked in. The staff was attentive to us and we never felt ignored. The grounds are well maintained and are a nice surrounding. The superior double was perfect for our 6yr old and us and was comfortable and clean. Many food options as well. Although people who complained about staff not speaking English is insane since you are traveling in a Spanish speaking country, there were English speaking staff and it was never an issue to communicate with our broken Spanish. The property is old and we can only assume how much it takes to maintain the grounds on the island. There are repairs needs but it didn’t feel run down. The cost for what we got was fantastic and it didn’t break the bank like other resorts would have on the island.

DenmarkRooms were not the cleanest or best equipped, but I can imagine it is very hard to have everything in such a remote island. Although street vendors are not allowed, the natives offering the tourism activities also chase you to sell jewelry which is also a bit annoying.
Facilities were great, the staff was very kind, the resort is very well equipped for a comfortable and nice holiday, the views and location are amazing. Food was very nice and they offered free kayak and bioluminescent plankton which are both unforgettable experiences
