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.).

BulgariaThe staff was friendly and attentive to our every need. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with the stunning view of the beach and the resort. The food was delicious and varied and the restaurant had a great selection of dishes. We also enjoyed the variety of refreshing drinks.The amenities were top notch: from the free wi-fi and minibar to the mineral water pools and kids club. If you are looking for a beach hotel with outstanding animation team for both children and adults, the hotel is the perfect place for you. They made our vacation so much more spacial. We can’t wait to come back next year!

RomaniaNot really possible to communicate with the staff from the restaurant who was taking care of dishes/tables. In the opened terasse on the resturant, althought there were children eating, some people were smoking, which I think is against any rule in the civilised world.
Food was diverse and drinks as well. We had an appartment at an upper level, thus we had an impressive view on the sea. No noise, no cigarette smoke from balconies next to us. Comfy beds. Pools were clean everyday. Receptionists, housekeeping ladies and 'captain' from the bar were smilling, you had the feeling that you are welcome in the hotel. I think Kaliakra is one of the latest hotels in Albena that still have some traces of what has been once the Albena high quality management standards.

United KingdomI didn't like that the hotel took more money from my bank account that I supposed to pay and they couldn't resolve this problem to give my money back . In that case be aware and check your account.

RomaniaPeople who "reserve" beach beds with their towels, although rules are clear against this. As long as someone is not there - remove their towel and let people occupy the beds closer to the sea (or at least a bed).
Great location and view, nice staff. Food and drinks generally fine.

PortugalRoom cleaning was definetly the weak point of the stay. The hotel is overall in need of a refresh and maintenance, but the rooms are more impacted than other areas. The air conditioning, the sides of the bathtub and curtains were dirty, no way to avoid it. Towels and bathing supplies were changed daily, but I don't think the room was vacuumed any time during our 5 nights stay. There were some spider webs on the ceiling when we got there and still there when we left. It gives the idea that the staff doesn't really care. Staff if polite at best, but not really welcoming.
The beach is practically at the hotel's door, the main pool is nice and clean with lots of space, as well as the kids' pool. The offer at the restaurant was good also, lots of variety and generally good cooking for the type of food offered, different things suitable for kids as well, if you're not too strict on healthy eating. The hotel is overall well organized and comfortable, albeit needing maintenance and some refreshing on the furniture and equipment.

RomaniaI didn't like the room that was small and not clean, the bathroom was horrible , smelling so bad, with mold, no ventilator, I don't think the hotel deserves 4 stars. Also, in Albena there were lots of stray dogs which I think is inacceptable, it is very dangerous and not sanitary.
I liked the food, the beach and the water of the sea.

RomaniaThe overall status of the hotel and facilities, are far away from a 4 stars standard. Rooms are quite small and in an overall degraded state. Drink's (juices and alcoholics)are really low quality; not up to an "ultra all inclusive" offer. First 2 rows of sunbeds on the Beach could be occupied for an additional cost!??! Not good value for the payed price!
Good location, right on the beach, nice pool for adults and kids. Food is divers and ok. Privat beach with sunbeds for guests.

RomaniaNothing too annoying... The cleaning lady would usually come in the resting hours, so we kind of skipped the cleaning for the whole week (except from the thrash, that was collected). But that didn't ruin our vacation mood anyway. Another thing - last year, when we also spent our holiday at Kaliakra, we had a larger room. This one, situated in the tower of the hotel, though it had the same type of beds, was smaller. For 2 adults and 2 kids it was quite crowdy... But good for resting, anyway! Also, you could improve the recipes of the cakes - they are very good looking and colorful, but too sweet and no big difference between the tastes... ;)
Great location, varied food, helpful staff. The room had a great view o the sea and part of the town (though, you couldn't watch the sunrise from the balcony). Beautiful beach, fine sand and plenty of chaiselongs - on the beach as well as at the pools.
