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.).

PolandWi-Fi has good coverage throughout the entire facility, but unfortunately the connection cuts out every time and you have to log in again. Only two electrical sockets in the room. The bathroom is old and dilapidated.
A very nice hotel, located right by the sea in a quiet place, but unfortunately quite far from the city center. There is nothing interesting nearby, no restaurants or shops. Nice swimming pool and restaurant area next to the pool. Large rooms, bathtub in the bathroom, ac good. Staff very nice, smiling and friendly. Breakfasts quite modest (from 6 am). A big plus is the free airport transfer (taxi costs 10-15$) and the possibility of late check out!

LuxembourgThe housekeeping services were poor - they consistently forgot to bring towels, water, etc. The reception staff was also quite rude, calling me in the middle of the night at 1:30am while I was sleeping. In addition , my "room with a balcony and sea view" did not really have a sea view, it looked down on the parking lot - also, the room wasn't ready when I checked in (at 8pm at night) so I had to relocate rooms at first. Poor organisation from the reception staff in general. Finally, the hot breakfast buffet was not great, consisting of dried scrambled eggs most of the time.
Good location right by the sea, nice pool and outside restaurant area. The restaurant staff was particularly friendly and attentive

United StatesThe first night I spent in a standard room instead of the junior suite I booked. I also didn't like that my card is put on file when paying for my room but to charge for a guest I was told I needed to provide my card to charge for the guest, which wasn't the problem, if only the system in the hotel would charge the card without me having to provide it again.
I liked the pool, the cabanas and the food. The bar was also a good thing. The room was also great.

NetherlandsUnfortunately I visited the hotel during the hot season, not really nice, too hot. To go somewhere else you need a taxi. It is very important to agree about the price with the local taxi drivers otherwise some of them will scam you. The City centre is about 1000 Franc and the airport is about 2000 Franc. Keep that in mind.
Very friendly and helpfull staff, they have a very nice pool including a bar. Breakfast is perfect. Rooms are very good and big including airconditioning. After check out they offered me to stay in the afternoon and enjoy the pool. My flight was at 23.00 and a free shuttle to the airport was also offered. Good service and really enjoyed it!

Germany- the internet was NOT good! The wifi connection would CONSISTENLY disconnect and then I would often have to re-enter user and password details again which was very annoying - the room I was in was not sound proof. I could hear sounds of the people watching football as well as people by the pool. So at night, it was sometimes difficult to sleep. - it was very clear that the bathroom NEEDS renovation - breakfast could include more options.
- The staff are very nice, friendly & helpful. - There's sea near the pool & the view is great - nice balcony with a view to the pool and sea - comfortable king sized bed

RomaniaThe room was dated, and generally dirty. The bathroom was falling apart - shower head, towel rack. The breakfast options are very limited, and staff are usually absent and reluctant to fry an egg when requested. Overall, I would never again stay at Acacias when back in Djibouti. Newer, better hotels are now popping up in downtown Djibouti.

QatarThe WiFi is unreliable at best. For business travelers this is a major issue. The rooms show water damage and damage from doors having been previously broken into. The bed is hard as a rock and you are only offered to small flat pillows. There are very few amenities available--no gym. there is no hotel information in the rooms. The breakfast left much to be desired. The only egg options on a daily basis were burnt scrambled eggs and when you asked the staff for a different egg option or fresh coffee they referred you to what was on the "buffet" and would not serve you. The bread was dry, and there were almost no other edible options. In terms of other food options. The hotel ran out of several simple dishes on an already sparse menu during the seven days of my stay.
The location on the water is lovely.

EthiopiaI did my reservation using Booking.com, but the reception staff told me that the hotel does not have business relations with them l. It was shocking for me since I used my visa card to pay for the days of stay. Front Desk asked me to pay in cash.. it was very confusing. Fortunately, I had the cash and paid. So far, the amount paid to Booking.com has not been deducted from my account.
The fact that the hotel is near the sea and the hotel staff are very pleasant.
