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 StatesBreakfast could’ve had a bit more protein for non pork eaters. I still enjoyed breakfast though.
We loved the staff they were so pleasant and always informative and accommodating Andre was such a pleasure to speak to and helpful with whatever we needed. He was a breath of fresh air. The food was very good loved lunch, dinner and the specialty restaurants. The activities water Aerobics was excellent instructors were fun I liked bingo as well. The entertainment each night was a pleasure to listen too. Meet nice mature adults and had good conversations with many.

United KingdomI think nearly 8k USD for 11 nights is a lot when there are not enough activities/ areas to relax around the resort. There is only one pool that had a lot of flies in it. Also if it rains, there is no proper lounge apart from the reception area. There is only 1 restaurant open during the day time and one bar (that serves bar snacks) which feels limited when you are spending so much.
Amazing big rooms, cleanliness, the nicest staff, and the entertainment manager Rashai was just amazing. You also don’t have to fight for seats by the pool.

United StatesNo AC throughout the lobby area and elevators. Jamaica is too hot to not provide air on the elevator. Also the food was too American. I would prefer Caribbean food options every day at buffet. Also the grill wait for food was so long. They changed the way the food options were at the grill. In the past the grill option area was buffet and I preferred it that way. Food service was much quicker and quality was much better. Now the change is order at request for low quality. Fish sandwich ran out of coco bread and gave hard buns.
The location, the staff, customers service and my room.

IsraelThat the room did not have a view to the sea and no balcony at all(the mini suites) so it was not kitten enough and it was hard to dry up the clothes.
I liked the stuff who were very nice. The generosity and the food was good especially in the sea food restaurant.could be more diverse in the buffet.

United StatesLimited trash bins in the room. Didn’t see the pool getting clean as often as it should - given that it was a 24 hour access pool. Only met one staff member who seemed displeased with his position—- one of the lobby bar bartenders I didn’t catch his name but he was short and always had me wait. He would see me at the bar and leave me waiting to get his attention for over 5 minutes. At one point he walked off, left his post unattended and additional guests came looking for him. He could’ve at least said he was getting food and have another employee help attend the area. Found that off about him. This comment is not for the hotel but it seemed more like a couples resort attraction.
From the beginning of our group trip till the end we had the most amazing time. Upon our check in we were upgraded to a suite and that was able to accommodate group of three perfectly. We received room service everyday and appreciated it because it avoided us asking for additional towels or trash to be removed. Everywhere we went we were greeted by staff. Not many people were coming and going but the staff were very friendly and even remembered our names! Which was a beautiful thing. The pool is an attraction because it’s right there but my group and I found the beach to be way better than spending time at the pool. We also received service from the pool bar at the beach so that was very nice in not having to exit the beach for a drink. They do have designated smoking areas one in the beach and one outside of the lobby with nice benches, chairs, and an outside fan. The community outside the hotel was always very welcoming and made sure we were okay. They have a local store where we saw employees go as well and a smoke shop with good deals. All in all very calm quiet good staff willing to recommend good local spots where you can step off the resort.

United StatesI think the restaurants can offer more food options. The Italian menu was disappointing. The buffet was underwhelming. Food can definitely be improved.
The property was nicely designed and decorated. The staff were for the most part very friendly and welcoming. Located on the beach which was really nice compared to other resorts in Montego Bay and always a chair available. It was also located near the Hip Strip which allowed for walking off the resort.

United StatesI recently celebrated my 40th birthday at the S Hotel and had a truly wonderful experience overall. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant and refreshing, and the staff went above and beyond to make the stay special. I booked a Junior Double Suite, which was spacious, well-appointed, and perfect for a celebratory getaway. One small issue I encountered was that the bedsheets were not clean upon my initial check-in, and unfortunately, they were not changed again after the room was cleaned on the second day. I didn’t bring it up during the stay since the suite had two beds, and I was still very comfortable. However, I did mention this to David at check-out, who was professional and attentive. Despite this minor hiccup, the overall experience was exceptional. The energy of the hotel, the quality of service, and the way the staff made me feel truly valued made my birthday celebration memorable. I would definitely return and recommend the S Hotel to others looking for a lively and relaxing getaway.

France1. The lack of transparency of sugary ingredients in drinks in the cafe. Fresh juices should not include sugary syrups 2. The shower in my room was clogged, causing the water to drain slowly and pool around my feet instead of flowing away properly. 3. Service in the Jamaican restaurant was mechanical, lacked the warmth I am accustom to from Jamaicans. The first portion of oxtail was dry and a small portion. 4.Policy for visiting guests 5.Overpriced catamaran tour - photographers on the tour did not capture the experience simply targeted a few which felt dishonest, the catamaran was poorly maintained, entertainment, history of the coast was lacking, overall it was boring. Shotel should review the tours offered by the concierge services prior to promoting it for guests. 6. The masseur was inexperienced and inconsistent, dissatisfied with the sports deep tissue massage in the spa 7. the size of the room and bathroom for 2 persons - seemed cramped 8. hair on the floor upon arrival and no robe or slippers included until asked. 9. The gym - quite small and ill equipped for the number of guests. 10. Room service for breakfast was not fulfilled. No show and no apology. Night staff took the order but did not deliver at 6am as requested.
The choice of food, quality and taste was exceptional at the buffet and seafood restaurant. The beach was clean, relaxing and accessible. The makeup mirror in the room was ideal. Really enjoyed the food choices for breakfast , particularly the taste of the local cuisine . The art throughout the property was authentic to the Jamaican culture and proudly and tastefully captured and displayed. The pool upstairs decor and layout was amazingly beautiful. Loved the concept of the cafe to get tea, smoothies etc at any time. The flexibility of the Manager Marlon in listening to our feedback and being extremely accommodating to make our stay more comfortable. Loved the activities such as bingo, Easter hunt, water aerobics and live entertainment daily. Enjoyed the rum tasting and historical review. Overall the staff were polite and very accommodating.

United States- the buffet hasn’t had so many options compared to other all in resorts (we only stayed 1 night, so no issue at all for us) - we were told to receive a call whenever check-in is ready which didn’t happen (when going back to the reception 1 hour after official check-in our room was ready) - mini king room was large enough (even when staying longer); but had no cabinet to unpack the luggage
- 2 beautiful pools (1 next to the beach and 1 on the roof top) - beach access with comfortable chairs, umbrellas, towels and service for drinks (beautiful, clean beach) - not too busy at the beach (chairs are not too close to each other) - à la carte seafood Restaurant was really good - the cafe has great coffee - very friendly staff and great service; reception as well as restaurants - we arrived at 2pm; our room wasn’t ready for check-in, but we already received access to the whole property including all restaurants and bars - we could extend checkout to 12pm and could use the whole property until 1pm
