Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The hotel was in a prime location and the room was very spacious. Staff at the hotel was also very friendly.

United StatesOnly downside. On checkout day, one of the 2 elevators was not in service. It took us almost 30 minutes to get downstairs. I think hotel could have had staff bring guest bags down using the freight elevator, to free up room in the passenger cabs.
Great location. Room was very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was nice as well.

United StatesLocation ideal to explore old town, with ready access to Virgin cruise ship. Food very average (maybe a little below). Staff was very friendly, albeit a little slow from a service aspect (e.g., seating at restaurant overly complicated causing long line with only a single person able to seat people with too much paperwork involved). We did not get to enjoy our booked 2 nights as airline cancelled our flight and we arrived next day.

CanadaIn my opinion for one night over the cost was over $350 American dollars which I certainly though was over priced.
Spacious room, view sucked but we only stayed overnight to wait for our cruise. The hotel was literally across the street from the dock and a 2-minute walk. Great area, food and drugstore block and a half away. I would certainly return

United StatesThat the price increased significantly from what Booking.com said it was going to be to what El Rumbao ended up billing. It about $500 more than what we expected to pay... I stayed in this hotel in 2023 when it was the Sheraton and did the booking the same way and that did not happen. This information should be stated when the booking process is completed so the guest knows that it may cost significantly more when time to check out.
Location and the Customer Service was excellent.

CanadaThe servers in the dining room need to be more attentive.
The room/bed was very comfortable and staff were wonderful. The servers in the dining area could be a little more attentive though as service was a little slow. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good variety. The hotel is well located, across from the cruise ships. Easy walking around the Old City
