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 reviewThe rooms are big and the views were beautiful. The property is a bit on the older side but it was very comfortable and the staff was delightful.
Please note that this is a time share so you may have to change rooms when the week is over. I did not realize that and had to move during my two night stay. I was at first upset about having to move but the staff took care of everything while I was out.

Room was filthy and incomplete. No water provided. Fridge leaked and flooded the room. AC was terrible. Hair dryer didn't work. Despite relaying this to the staff, no compensation offered.

Verified reviewImpressive property with excellent security measures. The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained. Although our stay was only for one night and we had to leave early, we were unable to experience the breakfast, but based on our overall experience, I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Didn’t get the chance to use the pool, but it seemed lovely as well. The staff really looked after the facilities, with daily cleaning and maintenance. The breakfast was good.
The restaurant food was average, I’d go somewhere else for dinner.

Verified reviewFull resort like, clean even if oldish looking furnitures. Pool and garden super well kept.
Lousy food quality at the pool bar, and too high priced. Too much merchandising for tourist excursions and discounts bound to chats. Felt bothered by this. Staff in average overly helpful.

Verified reviewYou have to show money to receive a good service. They bring you a cup of coffee, but you have to ask for the teaspoon and the sugar.
Cancun in general they don't know about service.

Verified reviewThe place was really big with lots of space. It had pools, Tennis courts, Access to the beach, Spa, A general store inside the resort. The location was nice too close to the Aqua World ( Water Activities ) and the nightlife.
The room numbers are a bit confusing so you can get lost. It wasn’t all inclusive so you had pay for meals and drinks other than breakfast.
