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.).

Excellent location and facilities, especially our butler Jiff had provided professional service and comprehensive information even before we checked in. They have provided daily kids club activities from morning till the night! Very good buffet breakfast and highly recommend the Chinese restaurant in the hotel.

United KingdomI like swimming in the sea, and unfortunately this isn't allowed by the government due to safety concerns...
The room was fantastic, the Aquarium and Aqua restaurant were also unmissable. The breakfast was probably the best of the included breakfasts we experienced in the 6 different hotels we stayed at. The pool was heated, unlike the previous pool at the previous hotel which was only good for doing laps. Live music in the evenings was also very nice.

Hong KongNothing. The hotel was clean, spacious, well attended and maintained with lots of things to do.
There are lots of activities for children all included with the price of our room. Plus an arcade that my children loved. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. I lost my phone and one of the cleaning staff helped me find it. It was my daughter’s birthday and they surprised her with a cake and souvenir bag. The breakfast buffet was incredible and the Chinese dinner we had at their Chinese restaurant was delicious. The room was spacious, clean with a bath on the balcony. 2 pools, excellent kids indoor play area and access to the beach.

SingaporeSand Flies…got bitten badly on our first evening likely at Cabana where we had drinks/snack and a short stroll at the beach just in front.
Lovely room and size was great! A property with vast area and walking spaces. Lots of green. Love the deep aquarium - the species of aqua life and their numbers were just nice for that space…pls do not add more or ensure a good swimming space for them.

SingaporeI understand it's a resort but the location was surrounded by duty free malls. No local shopping malls, supermarket etc. it was also hard for us to order food in as we didn't have a local number. The staff however went the extra mile to help us with. Resort food is very expensive

RussiaEveryone who comes to Hainan must be aware that it is prohibited to swim in the sea except the few beaches, and this hotel, which is the front-line on the perfect beach, is not the exception. Discussing the mistakes we faced in service, one can write a novel about, but all problems were resolved, and we feel it rather funny than disappointing.
Generally the service coincide well with good practices of Intercontinental, namely good and properly equipped room, it is not necessary to ask them to bring toiletries or something, everything is in place. Personnel is attentive and tries to do their best. Coming to Hainan today you should be aware that practically nobody could speak English (and most probably other languages as well), few of them can understand, and you should be patient enough to explain what you want. If you succeed, everything will be done in a blink of an eye and completely in accordance with what was understood. I recommend having mobile internet available to use on-line translation services, which is helpful, but not a guarantee. Hotel restaurants are good quality, but extremely expensive. Breakfast was nice, especially its Chinese dishes, Western part was much more dull and usual. Swimming pools are in perfect condition (as for me, they were too shallow). And it is a pool with sea water, fishes and turtles, which is worthy to mention, and they organise aqualung diving there ;-) instead of open sea. It could be mentioned that there is a duty-free shopping centre nearby where there are a number of good (maybe not very cheap) restaurants, which are twice cheaper than ones in the hotel.

United StatesAll good. Nothing to complain about.
This hotel was well designed, fancy, comfortable, considerate and well maintained. We upgraded to a room on higher floor and got fantastic sea view. You can watch sun rise sitting in the couch on the balcony or just lying in bed, which was a huge bonus. Room was beautiful and spacious. A lot of things to do in the Hotel. Definitely worth the price and will visit again.

United KingdomI stayed here from 25th to 27th June 2025 for a business trip, and the experience was shockingly unprofessional for an InterContinental-branded hotel. As a British business traveller, I required an invoice in English for tax and accounting purposes. The front desk manager, Jasmine Feng, flatly told me it was "impossible" for the hotel to issue any English invoice to any customer. She was dismissive, rude, and completely unwilling to help, both in person and by email. When I checked out, I asked another staff member for help. Jasmine interrupted loudly from the next desk, repeating in a raised voice that it was impossible. This was incredibly embarrassing and hostile. Yet – within 2 minutes, the other receptionist provided the English invoice with no problem at all. So Jasmine was either lying or intentionally obstructing. This level of dishonesty and aggression is unacceptable at any hotel, let alone a 5-star international chain. I have lodged a formal complaint with IHG and hope no other guest has to experience this kind of treatment. Unless this is addressed, I cannot recommend this hotel to international or business travellers. Proceed with caution.
Extremely Disappointing
