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 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):
- 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.).

It didn't seem like the Dulce Gusto machine worked, tried everything and couldn't get it to work. Would've loved a more poolside or closer to the beach unit location. Next time will try phone and ask if we can make a choice. More comfortable bedding would be great, sheets and pillows great but a softer bed spread/cover would be awesome.
Loved the heated swimming pool, it was actually properly heated unlike other resorts we've stayed at so despite it being a cold day, we had a lovely swim. Perfect location right by beach and cafe. Trampolines were great fun.

Not really much... we were there for 5 days and couldn't get replacement towels unless we paid for them which was a little bizarre. Also, there is only one coffee shop/Cafe nearby so you would have to drive out to get any kind of food or groceries. In saying that, the town isn't very far at all.
Location was amazing! Right across from the beach. Apartments were spacious and everything was extremely clean and comfortable! Bedrooms were decently sized, one big almost the size of 2 bedrooms. The BBQ area was awesome - big enough for a massive family. Kids enjoyed the playground and trampolines as well as lots of space to run around and play. The pool was wonderful and warm and we were in there after the sun went down and still didn't feel cold. Such a great place for a family!

Most of the windows in our upstairs apartment only opened about 20cm (for safety) and the curtain blocks the opening. It would have been nice to have a ceiling fan or pedestal fan the lounge area, there is a reverse cycle air conditioning unit in the lounge which we set to "fan" just to circulate the air. There is a fly screen on the sliding glass door however it wasn't a "security flyscreen door" and didn't even have a small latch to prevent it from being opened. Something to keep in mind if you have toddlers who like to open doors. Being by the beach it would have been nice to take advantage of the ocean breeze at night and listen to the crashing waves a bit more. Having said that it was a fantastic place to stay 🤩 PS just to make it clear, the glass sliding door itself is very secure and locks...its just the flyscreen that doesn't.. for those that like to let the breeze in whilst sleeping 😉
The heated pool was great. The garden and grounds were kept very neat and tidy. The DVD player was a real plus, we took our own discs to watch. We also took our wii which we easily hooked up to the TV. We also took extension cord and powerboard. There are ample power points however it was handy having them with the kids needing to charge their multiple devices lol. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms were appreciated. We didn't use them but there are multiple bbqs and seating in the grounds and a great looking outdoor play area, with real trampolines. There is also a playground just across the road near the beach with swings and a flying fox. There is a footy field across a different road if you want to kick a ball around.

We found the mattresses not very comfortable and probably need an upgrade there. Other than that, our stay was great.
We had a lovely family holiday and enjoyed our stay. Ideal location, close walking distance to the beach. Would come back and stay again if in the area.

The only downside for me was the very limited basic essentials in the kitchen,dish cleaning products and serving bowls etc. But would definitely stay again and be prepared to take my own.
