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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaMaybe an offer to take us back to our room when it was raining? Mainly due to the slippery downhill path we had to take to avoid the rain.
Loved the views even though the weather was a bit damp......and all of the meals were lovely.

IrelandI cannot fault the hotel and facilities. For us the biggest let down was some of the staff members. There was one incident in particular when we checked in (Easter Monday). We arrived at the hotel at 12:30pm and filled in all the check in details with the friendly Irish girl in reception. We acknowledged we were early so went and had lunch by the pool. At 1:45pm we checked if our room was ready, we were told no but no issues flagged. At 2:20pm, we checked again and we were told by the blonde English reception manager (who did not introduce herself so I don’t know her name) that our room wasn’t ready because the air conditioning was broken. I asked if we could get another room, was told no the resort was booked out (I checked on the site after and there were free rooms). I asked if we could get into the room while the guys were working on the air-con and was told no, the whole building air con was being fixed (this made no sense as each air con unit is an independent unit so sensed this was a lie). Were told we could have free lunch even though she knew we had just had lunch, offered some drinks. We had been up since 4am so we didn’t want any drinks at this point. When I asked if she had an idea of what time we should expect the issue to be resolved she said “it will be fixed when it’s fixed”. At 3:30pm, I went up to reception again and was told issue not resolved still and she could not tell me when it would be fixed. At this stage, we started to look elsewhere as it hadnt been indicated if we were even going to get in our room that day. Again I asked at 4pm, still no update on time. At 4:30pm we finally got a call from her to say our room was ready. We were offered a late checkout until 11am. I totally understand delays happen and i didn’t mind waiting for a little bit however the issue was her attitude. She made us feel like we had done something wrong and that we were the problem.
The view was stunning, bedrooms spacious and clean. We had a massive jacuzzi bath which was a highlight. Our balcony had a lovely view of the marina. Infinity pool was a little small (only about 8 sunbeds) but as we visited mid week this wasn’t a huge issue. Food at breakfast and room service was great, couldn’t fault it. The hotel is quite near town if you are happy to do a 10/15 minute walk but it is hilly so maybe not suitable for older people or very small children however apparently they do run a shuttle bus to town. The breakfast stuff were so friendly, especially the Australian lady with the glasses.

United KingdomThe swimming pool area didn’t have enough space around it for lots of people to sit around, with it usually full by 9am. The sofa was also not the most comfortable, so it was t the nicest to sit on in the evenings.
The breakfast was excellent, with really nice selections and the breakfast staff being the best in the hotel. The room and surrounding areas were really clean and tidy, including the kitchen area. The bed was also very comfortable and hot tub bath was really nice after a day trip out

United KingdomThe property is on a very steep hill at one edge of town and although the hotel does have courtesy rides down the main steep bits to the edge of the flat part of town, we found these too infrequent and they stop at 6.30pm so we had to walk in and out of town a fair bit which was exhausting in the heat plus, as it was wet season, we constantly got soaked on the 20 minute walk to and from town. The furniture in the bedroom was very tired looking and dated plus the vast jacuzzi bath took an age to fill to any depth and it felt bad ecologically using so much water to do so. Perhaps a revamp is necessary and the 1970s style things like that could be removed for a more contemporary and ecologically sound bathroom experience. Every terrace had sunbeds apart from our and when I asked why, reception stated that the booking.com rooms did not have the sunbeds, only the club rooms. This seemed a bit petty and it would have been nice to relax on the large terrace like everyone else.
Apartment style rooms with everything you might need for a long stay including full kitchen plus laundry area. The staff were lovely, the food was good and we ate in the evening twice too. Breakfast was cooked to order and good quality but they really should provide a decent coffee machine as you had to make it yourself from powder sachets or purchase barista style coffee which was unusual in our experience with an inclusive breakfast.
