As the title suggests, why is that?
The hotels are not really new on booking.com, I randomly checked a few hotels and some were listed on booking.com at the end of 2016! we are now in November, 2018, and not a single review for any of the Cuban hotels to be found.

Is it simply the matter of no one ever having visited any of the hotels in Cuba through booking.com and hence no reviews, or am I missing something and there's another interesting reason behind this?

PS. I know about the ban on Cuba and the clash with the US, but booking.com is available for anyone with access to internet, not only to the US.

I've received a reply for Booking's Twitter profile on this matter:

Hi XXXXX, reviews for accommodations in Cuba are no longer displayed in order to comply to a local regulation. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us at any time.

Presumably by "local regulations" they mean the embargo placed on Cuba by the US.
