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 KingdomCertain members of staff have a tendency to forget their place and remember they are presumably here at work first n foremost to please the paying guests but being cruel and bullying other members of staff / filing their nails and being rude and disrespectful to full paid up guests . There’s a dragon on reception
Please see yesterday’s comments already posted a glowing report . Should now also add swimming under the night sky and sragazing and pre breakfast swim in lively pool being cleaned and skimmed today ! Pool water looking gorgeous this morning with scattered hibiscus flowers floating on top . The line flavoured frozen cheesecake is literally to die for

United StatesThe rooms could do with some small improvements. The pillows for one are unbearably large and hard so we ended up sleeping with no pillows, but the bed itself was very comfortable. It was quite warm so we slept with the AC on and it was a tad chilly with just a sheet so we asked the front desk if they had a blanket and they did not, so we ended up waking up occasionally to turn off and on the ac to accommodate. We tried to use the fan instead, but it was so wobbly that it was too loud to sleep with, plus it seemed like it might actually wiggle itself free and fall on us haha. Everything else was great!
The location and snorkeling was the best!! I loved being on the cliffs and watching the marine life(rays jumping in the morning right in our cove, and a whole pod of dolphins during sunset). The food was delicious although a little pricey. It’s a short walk to rock house to get variety of meals and comparable pricing and enjoy the luxurious grounds. Rooms are clean and the landscaping is wonderful and authentic; full of hibiscus, mango trees, ganja and Bougainvillea vines. The pool is a nice alternative to the ocean if the weather is too windy or choppy for swimming. Staff is very friendly and accommodating minus one gal who took some time to warm up but eventually did. Snorkel equipment was clean and functional and is totally worth it to see the amazing sea life and coral just in the cove and even better if you venture just around the bend a bit.

United StatesWhat we didn't like was no fault of Xtabi. There were straight-line winds and a fire which prompted an outage and loss of plumbing in the area as well as places being closed and damage to the beach area. They did get things up and running fairly quickly. Also, it was very windy most of the time we were there which made it impossible to go snorkeling which again was no fault of Xtabi.
We liked the location, friendly staff and facilities available including the restaurant/bar by the cliffs and caves. The food was very good and I especially liked the coffee! The staff was very attentive and there were always staff watching when someone was going to cross the very busy road between the restaurant and hotel. There was always a taxi available at the facility when we needed a ride.

United StatesI really loved everything about the place except the no air-conditioning. During our stay it was very very humid so it did make for an uncomfortable nights sleep. If it was a little bit less humid and a little bit more of a breeze, I’m sure it would’ve been perfect but this particular evening Was like a steam bath in the room.
I never requested a quiet room, I never made a special request for anything. We did not eat breakfast, but we did eat dinner and that was OK. The location is awesome, you can just go right off of the cliff and snorkel.

GermanyThe staff was pretty unfriendly. You couldn't get a hello out of them (except for one gardener) and we had the feeling that they didn't really want us there. None of them ever smiled and they seemed annoyed when we had any questions.
The Xtabi Resort is a nice place in a beautiful location. It is far away from the beach and the city centre, so you need a car if you want to get around more. But it is right at the cliffs and you can do cliff diving or explore the caves. Our room was good and spacious, as was the bathroom. It was clean as well. From our place you couldn't see the cliffs or the ocean. We were on the other side of the road but we had easy access to the cliffs via the restaurant that was part of the resort.
