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.).

RomaniaNot actually a 4 star hotel, poor quality of beer and juices. Except breakfast, the variety of the food can be improved. Do not allow people to take food in the room, so much people in the elevator with plenty of plates full of food. Except room service when is something organized.
Good breakfast, big and clean room, good wifi, nice swimming pool, good ice-cream.

RomaniaVery noisy nights - many discos and parties till late in the night in neighbour hotels Food - not quite what expected. Not much variety. Wet floors were not properly marked - in the eating area No parking available - though staff helped us to find an unpaid spot! Not enough cleaning staff - long waiting lines at check in (rooms were not ready at given time...)
Really close to the beach - only 25-30 steps and about 5 min walking distance Beds, cleanliness, bathroom - great Cleaning ladies very friendly - though they didn't speak any ather language but bulgarian Great welcome gift - tasty wine Good working air conditioning and fridge Great balcony sea-view Daily fresh bottled still water (1.5 liter for a room) Very respectful and friendly employees - even if some clients were rude or unpatient. Exceptional professional!

RomaniaThe lifeguard had a very arrogant attitude and was disrespectful. I’m talking about the man with long hair (because there were 2 lifeguards at the pool, but the one with short hair was ok). We were playing with a ball on the outdoor pool and accidentaly, the ball touched a person- we’ve apologized, the person was very nice, smiled at us, saying that was no problem at all. But the lifeguard confiscated our ball without saying nothing, and gave it to us when we’ve left the pool. After this incident, we’ve went again to the pool, without ball, but this time, I was accidentily hit by a bool- twice times. Even the lifeguard was there, he was acting as nothing happened. He did not confiscated the ball of that person, he did not even telling him to be more carreful. That’s why, I will give 7 to this property. It’s a shame that you’re hiring such kind of people to your hotel.
Good conditions, very very clean, nice people at the reception, lovely food

RomaniaI visited this hotel again now, after 2015 and 2017. Obviously, any review is subjective. But I will try to provide information as objectively as possible. What was not good: much less, about 5-6 dishes, which are repeated every day, after a few days the menu becomes boring. Select drinks have largely disappeared, soft drinks have been replaced with some low-quality no-name brand. The drinks iare now served only in the lobby bar, the queue is long, the staff is overworked. Check-in only after 2:30 p.m., in this way the hotel saves money because it does not offer you lunch. Departure by 11 o'clock, so new economy with a lunch, but if you want, you can wait till 12.00 pm to get a food. Few parking spaces, you don't have access to them. Regarding the resort, dirt on the alleys, especially on the path that leads to the beach. Extremely expensive private parking, sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach. (The fact that on the Bulgarian coast approximately 60-70% of the guests are Romanian citizens, inevitably led to a considerable decrease in the quantity/quality of the services offered.)
What was constant and good: the room, the cleanliness, the comfort, the staff.
