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 reviewLocation is great and property beautiful
The food was consistently disappointing across all the restaurants, especially the à la carte options. The Asian restaurant served what was probably the worst sushi I’ve ever had, and the service there was equally poor. Although the hotel is advertised as “all-inclusive,” staff are constantly trying to upsell additional services—and most of these upgrades aren’t worth it. For example, the “Priority Club” is supposed to include access to a private pool, but no one checks who enters. It’s also supposed to offer spa discounts, but those discounts don’t apply to anything already on promotion, which is nearly everything. When booking, they claim you’ll receive a $200 property credit. In reality, this comes in the form of a bundle of coupons (for wine, spa, or dinner upgrades) that can only be used if you spend more money—and you can’t even combine more than one coupon per service. Overall, it felt like a complete rip-off.
Thank you for staying with us. We are very sad to know that we have failed in our goal to offer the best service to our guests and achieve their full satisfaction. We can assure you that we will take the appropriate measures to avoid such incidents in the future, hoping to restore your confidence in us so that you may decide to give us another opportunity to serve you better in the future .

Verified reviewIt was a really beautiful beach and overall aesthetic resort. The weather was wonderful and my kids loved swimming and the buffets.
The constant upselling was really frustrating and distracted from being able to relax. It felt like our guard was always up on who we needed to say no to next. The resort is also aging, with us witnessing lots of repairs while we were there. We often felt forgotten about by wait staff, sometimes being actively ignored or never having our drinks delivered. We had a room with a private pool, but it didn't feel worth the extra cost. It was very cold and crumbling in parts. The beds and pillows were pretty uncomfortable. Compared to other all inclusives, the activities available seemed pretty minimal. The food was okay. There wasn't anything I was super impressed by and often things seemed overcooked.

Verified reviewThe rooms were spacious , we got a free upgrade that allowed us to use the premier club restaurants , lounges and concierge . It was fantastic! The service was outstanding. All the employees were very helpful and made our stay amazing . There was a big variety of food on the buffet . The food was ok . The beach was clean with heaps of beach beds and the water was stunning ! The room was always clean the cleaning staff were always checking on us if we needed anything .
We went to one of the restaurants where we ordered a tuna tartare and we got canned tuna 🤷🏽♀️. The toilet in the room was a bit dated .

Verified reviewBayahibe is a great location
It is a very narrow beach, all the sun beds at the beach are very tight against each other, almost no palm trees, and half of the beach costs extra. The rooms for 3 people are very uncomfortable, is a room for 2 + a kids bed were you get back pain sleeping on it. We changed rooms because the first one got flooded, in the second bedroom we called 5 times asking the 3rd bed that never arrived. This is unacceptable!
