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.).

GermanyWhile Hotel Boblin La Mer offers many commendable features, there were a couple of areas that could benefit from improvement. One significant issue was the WiFi connectivity, which was not consistently available throughout the hotel. This made it difficult to stay connected, especially in some common areas and certain rooms, which can be inconvenient for guests who need reliable internet access for work or personal use. Additionally, the housekeeping service seemed to lack a bit of initiative. I encountered a situation where my room was not cleaned unless I specifically requested it, which is not something a guest should have to worry about during their stay. Proactive cleaning services are a basic expectation at any reputable lodging. Addressing these concerns could greatly enhance the overall guest experience at Hotel Boblin La Mer, ensuring that it lives up to its potential in all aspects of hospitality.
My stay at Hotel Boblin La Mer was a delightful experience, thanks in large part to its exceptional location and wonderful staff. Situated with a superb view of the ocean, the hotel offers a serene setting that is perfect for anyone looking to relax and soak in beautiful seaside vistas. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the calming ocean breeze was undoubtedly the highlight of my stay. The staff at Hotel Boblin La Mer were friendly and accommodating, adding a personal touch to their service that made my stay even more comfortable. They were attentive and responsive to all my needs, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my visit. As for the dining, the food was okay—satisfactory but not outstanding. While it met my expectations, there is room for improvement to match the overall quality of the hotel. Overall, Hotel Boblin La Mer is a great choice for travelers seeking a picturesque location by the sea with good service. Whether you are visiting for leisure or business, this hotel promises a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Great place for a short stay in Bassam. All you need is there, they serve good food and the staff is very friendly. Definitely one of the best options around.

FinlandEverything is good 😊
Excellent hotel directly on the beach. There's no swimming pool but I didn't need it as you can go to the ocean and after ocean bathing take a shower in the beach. Hotel restaurant has very good fish dishes. The crêpe was unfortunately bad both times. I had the impression that they just warmed it in the microwave

United StatesTheir restaurant closed early Monday night. I had to go to the restaurant next door for dinner. And the taxi driver's recommended by the hotel all had issues. Next time I will flag down my own taxi. One's car broke down three times during my journey. The other overcharged me to go to the airport .
I ❤️ the location of this hotel. It's located right on the beach. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is good too. My room was spacious, clean and quiet. It had a garden view that was nice. I absolutely loved the sound of the ocean from the hotel.

CanadaThe adjacent beach was very disappointing, not suitable for swimming or even walking.
The facilities are fairly basic, but tastefully designed and quite comfortable. However, until arriving I was unaware that the beach it is located on is not suitable for swimming, as the waves are very rough. Nor is it suitable for walking, as it is very narrow and there is garbage strewn around. Otherwise, the hotel is very pleasant, with good ambience and the local staff are lovely and very attentive.
