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.).

United StatesFor the price and location I wouldn’t expect anything else. The uniqueness and location of the hotel is perfect.
The breakfast at Bluemare was excellent and they catered the food to our need. They don’t have a wide range of options but we had no complaints. The staff was very accommodating and extremely pleasant with everything we asked. As a matter of fact the breakfast exceeded our expectation. We were a group of seven and the breakfast portions were plentiful and served family style which we loved. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We had our double deck cabana and we had a awesome time partying and having a great time. They even provided us with a huge Bluetooth speaker and microphone for us to sing, dance and have e great time in front or what seemed to be our own private beach. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to have a fun and relaxing vacation. The place, staff and location exceeded our expectation.

United StatesWe were informed upon arrival that their credit card machine doesn't work, and we needed to pay cash. That mean driving 10 min. to the nearest ATM and back on the day of the checkout. They didn't warn us ahead of time, so do check on that before going. I assume their CC machine is either permanently out of order or doesn't exist. Oh, and they did construction in the next room - on Easter Sunday, but stopped once I threatened to leave without paying. :)
It's just a blissful spot right on the tranquil bay. It helped that we scored the best room (second floor, with a balcony and a hammock). The staff is super friendly, the room was spacious, the view great. Breakfast was decent, dinner was good - the fried fish was excellent, albeit overpriced. Overall, I highly recommend this idyllic spot. I've never seen such calm and shallow water for hundreds of meters in.. And you can walk the entire length of the beach and not encounter anybody. Truly amazing.

United KingdomI wish a bit more care was taken in terms of the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Also, the yard is decorated super nicely but some of the chairs and lounges are broken, so repairing them would give the hotel a better impression. There was some plastic rubbish washing on the shores of the ocean and cleaning those would improve the experience of visitors. The restaurant is nothing special but the prices are relatively high. Offering cheaper catering options, in my opinion, will improve the quality of stay. Lastly, the breakfast portions should be bigger!
When we visited it was amazingly quiet and relaxing to wake up by the ocean and watch the waves. The water is so blue, one cannot take their eyes off it. The hotel staff is extra friendly and kind, and we appreciated it a lot. The room had everything we needed and the hammock was the best! Also enjoyed playing basketball in the garden and the Cayo Arena tour they organized for us, a lot!

United StatesBecause you are out in nature and right on the beach it is normal for there to be insects. The hotel staff did spray for the mosquitoes when we made mention of it.
During our stay we had a great experience, thanks to the staff, Elvis, Angel, and Fausto. They were tremendously attentive and took care of any needs that we had. Angel prepared a very special meal for us and it was very fresh. I requested fresh fruits and they were served at each meal. It was the perfect experience, thanks to the people that made it possible. The room was nice. My favorite part was opening the glass sliding door in the morning to the ocean view and hearing the waves. The beach is essentially in your front yard. This is a perfect place for someone seeking a quiet, peaceful stay, with not many other people and okay with not being in the center of a bustling city. This is definitely a beach getaway.

United KingdomI thought the price point was off. We payed restaurant prices for a meal that couldn't have been prepared by a chef and the rooms felt unfinished. All of it was lovely but too expensive for what it is.
The location was stunning, we had one of the beach front rooms and it really was breathtaking.

United StatesI loved the location, I loved the staff but the hotel is slightly dated and it’s not staff’s fault if the owners of this facility do not wish to upgrade.
Chef Angel made a delicious breakfast with suggestions based on our request and it came with an amazing juice! I wish the coffee was stronger but they made magic with what’s available to the staff.

United StatesLet’s start by saying this property is managed by the owners. We got to the property earlier and stayed on the beach while it was time for us to check in. By the time of check in, the female owner directed us to our room, there was no mention about payment so I assumed my reservation was already taken care off through booking.com. When we returned the keys and we’re about to leave the female owner came up to us and said that we needed to pay and I told her I had assumed the reservation was paid already, she said no you have to pay here. I said ok I’ll look for my credit card and she said, no I only accept cash or direct deposit. I told her she never mentioned before she didn’t accept credit card payments and I didn’t have cash to pay so after some back and forth my cousin decided to pay her for the entire reservation cash. When we see loading our luggage into the car the husband (owner) of the place came up to us yelling. Mind you my 95 yr old grandma and my baby nephew were in the middle of all this… Worried about our safety I started recording the whole thing and I have it on video. To my surprise, when I arrive to the city the opened up a complain saying that I didn’t pay for my reservation. I’m uploading the video on my social media for all of you to see. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.
