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.).

United StatesAll the restaurants should have been all inclusive and the beach should have been closer . Also they should’ve had more water activities on the beach . I thought they would’ve had entertainment at night like shows or clubs . I’m stilll upset they charged $50 per person for some restaurants at a all inclusive hotel

Trinidad and TobagoRoom was not ready at 3. Prior to my arrival, I was not aware that I needed to make a reservation to dine at the restaurants other than the buffet one day in advance.
The service from the concierges. The shuttle service. The signage in relation to your location in the resort. The temperature of the pools and the variety of the water slides. General feeling of safety.

United StatesWe have been here before and I admit I did not believe recent not so great reviews. Sadly, it is true. Poor and slow service. I wonder what happened that things changed to the worse. Staff appear not interested and demotivated. It can take entire evening or morning before you get a drink in the buffet. If they run of an item, like pancakes, they will not replace it. If you ask, they will pretend not to understand. They show no genuine interest in guests. The app to reserve other dining options only works if you purchase expensive wine. We found it annoying. Rooms are outdated. AC was leaking, shower was also semi broken. AC operates at one speed which makes the room very cold and is very loud. The waterpark needs renovation, stairs are very slippery. If you stay at Splash, and want to go the beach which is about 12 min walk, you can not eat the buffet closer to the beach. Staff seem to look at the colour of the bracelet and will prioritise those from the Diamond Club. Check in was long and our room was only ready at 5 pm.
We liked the overall set up, beautiful and well manicured gardens.

United KingdomNot enough umbrellas by the pool, you could see guests skin burning! SORT THIS OUT. Impossible to book the restaurants on the app. Unless you PAY… it’s an all inclusive resort!!! Different staff were trying to overcharge for this - we were quoted anywhere between $70 and $350. Buffet food wasn’t hot. Cold scrambled eggs in the morning along with dried up sausages. Treated ourselves to a cabana on the last day. What a waste of time and money that was. 2 girls had been allowed to access it prior to our arrival, bed was filthy when we got there and they’d helped themselves to our drinks. Had to ask several times for a food menu, took an hour for food to arrive and it was disgusting. Having been to other Royalton resorts, this is one I wouldn’t return to.
Waterpark was great. Staff were fantastic.

United StatesI was not impressed by a gentleman that approached myself and family stating he will upgrade our breakfast experience next day it was a solicitation to sell me membership into royalton hotelling like a timeshare. The gentleman - Jose Francisco was not upfront about the intentions. He also promised that I would get late check out of the hotel with that offer and this was not the case. After I attended the session (the session was nice and all the participants) the gentleman disappeared. I saw him back on the property and his actions were very shifty. This is a horrible first time impression of your company and I think more transparency and honesty needed to be had should i ever come back
The property is beautiful, very scenic and entertaining for the children. The Karaoke was fun.

United StatesKids club and teen club were disappointing. The teen club was an empty room with no attendants. Kids club had very few items and looked old and rundown. Lighting in hotel room was very dim. Restaurants at the resort were difficult to book for dinner, and the food was very average. The two restaurants we tried weren’t any better than the buffet restaurants. We felt the price was high for our rooms, but we did enjoy the perks of the Diamond Club (facilities, butler). Wish there were more poolside/snack restaurants accessible during the day with a wider variety of foods besides hamburgers and hot dogs. Coffee at the resort was disappointing.
Breakfast in the Punta Cana hotel was better than in the Splash hotel. Buffet items were replenished regularly and wide variety of foods on offer. Water park was great for the kids. Beds were comfortable. Hotel grounds and beach were nicely maintained. Staff worked hard to serve the large number of guests. Swim up bars were fun but got quite crowded in the late afternoons, so took some time to get drinks. Our butler, Juan, was very helpful and went out of his way to get us dinner bookings, extra blankets for the kids, taxi reservations, etc.

Saint LuciaThe management at the end was awful. The manager Anthony at one point threatened us with calling the security over a $30.00 discount voucher for our romantic dinner. This issue was caused by a total lack of explanation at the arrival of our stay and also by our Majordorme (Elvin ) who was absolutely useless and was totally overwhelmed in what he was doing. So what was a good stay we ended up leaving with a very sour taste and will not be going back and would be hard to recommend to anybody else.
We thought the facility was good and the food we thought was very good.

United KingdomSo initially, when we first got there, I didn’t like the room we were given. I did ask about upgrade and essentially the room that we were given the first time apparently was the upgrade. There could’ve been a misunderstanding with this but regardless of the fact, I didn’t like the initial room that I was given so the next day I made it clear and asked if I could have a room change which they were actually very open to you when I told them my concerns and reasons..They did give us a new room the next day which was amazing and met all my needs and my expectations. The view however was amazing from all rooms.
I liked the overall hotel. It’s lovely. It’s stunning. Everybody is nice. The staff are so attentive so lovely especially the staff at the pool bar. They are amazing. Loved them all. I also liked that you could go to one of the sister hotels the Royalton they do like this mini cart that takes you back-and-forth. It’s just so convenient doesn’t take long at all. I think it’s about five minutes just to wait for one and once you’re at the other hotel you can use all their facilities. They have a lovely pool, jacuzzi etc. Also, the sister hotel has a beachfront so you could also relax at the beach. One thing I will say though is if you do want to go on the beach or do you think you need to go there bit early because we got there around 11 AM and it was quite packed although we did still find available chairs it was still quite packed. But yeah, the drinks selections were nice. The cocktails were great and the people serving it were even better.
