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 reviewBreakfast was fine and great location
Once checked in at front desk we were turned over to our Butler, Anthony. He was running around trying to handle multiple check ins & we were rushed into our room & he forgot to tell us about special dinner for returning guests, which we missed. Butler was a nuisance most of the time. Our shuttle to airport was scheduled at wrong time, good thing we noticed it. This was our Third trip to Royal Plantation and the dining was good (although the French Restaurant did not have Escargot and my Bouliabase was served over mashed potatoes. Really???

Verified reviewi really liked the service, the food was great! Robert & Anthony attended us so well!
the entertainment needed help, was awful, the drinks also needed help, a few people from the bar were not so nice. I wish we were informed we can visit all sandals on day one.

Verified reviewThe scenery was amazing. The butler service was fantastic. If you are looking for an all inclusive vacation on the beach with various water activities as well as attentive butler service, then this is the place. Being able to shuttle over to the other Sandals resort which had many other restaurants to choose from which was 2 minutes away was great. The food was also very good for an all inclusive resort.
There was one night my steak was served basically raw but that was quickly rectified. Also there was a resort next to ours which had music playing which was overhead in our room well past 2am on certain nights. No fault of the resort but it did keep me up some of the nights for a bit.

Verified reviewlots of fresh foods , exceptional service , courtesy and professional exceeded my expectations.
three separate days we experienced a severe loss in water pressure to no water , staff worked to resolve the issue, very accommodating and apologized for the short time we were waiting for water to be restored. The longest we waited was 15-20 minutes. not a big problem, unless you’re already in the shower soaped up . The costs for some of the excursions seemed pricey, not everyone from the states has money, a $10.00 locker fee at the dolphin exhibit , $180 for pictures , we wanted to purchase one photo of us and we’re denied , they were pushing the entire package.
Thank you for your feedback! We strive in creating the best experience for our guests and are glad you have enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back with us soon. Best regards
