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.).

NetherlandsThe swimming pool was a bit disappointing, sauna and whirlpools were closed and there was a bad smell by the pool (sewage?). I am allergic to dustmites, and my allergies were really bad in the room… I assume because the carpet hasnt been cleaned well enough.
Right by the beach, that was lovely! The room was clean and comfortable. service was good

BelgiumThe dinner experience at 'the Ensor'. I waited a long time, and when they brought the dinner, the fries were cold. I asked for new fries, and got a whole discussion about it (I should have told immediately: I did tell within 3 minutes). They took away the cold fries. At the end I finished my dinner and never got other fries. I called for parking in advance; and was told I could park two streets away, but that parking was full. Finally I parked along a very dangerous and busy road (1/2 km away), and had to carry the luggage and hold the child with me, and jump between parked cars when traffic arrived. There was no way to cross the street onto the dike as there is a wall of concrete about 1m high. So the parking was a scary nightmare (especially at night). Personally I 'm not much of a tourist for gigantic hotel structures, but for families who are looking for entertainment for everyone, it is a good place.
Room was very clean and comfy. Plenty of activities for families with children. Easy access to tram and beach. Sports activities available Breakfast nice and complete. Staff at reception friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe bathroom was a little worn and well used. There was a large open space in the room that seemed underutilized. The pool area is closed on Mondays and this information was not made obvious to us before we booked. The elevators were a nightmare, they had many throughout the hotel but did not appear to arrive on your floor often (when they did, they were usually full)
The service received was good, the room was comfortable and well presented. We had a very nice room on the 5th Floor. The staff were very polite, helpful and bilingual. The balcony was welcome in the heat. Located right on the beach with free parking or under ground parking for a fee. Thank you.

United KingdomWe arrived by motorbike and I asked in advance if we could park in their underground parking area. I was told to ask at reception on arrival. I did this only to be told all parking spaces had been reserved and there was nowhere to park our bike! I wasn't given an option of reserving a space when I originally asked! We then had to park our bike on the street near the hotel which we were not comfortable with.
