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 KingdomI own a hotel so I know how things should be done. We really enjoyed our stay at Velero. Staff work very hard, service is on point, lots of smiles. There is a lot of cleaning and maintenance going on, you see a lot of staff working hard and everything was in very good shape. The location is perfect. The food has improved considerably since the last time I was there a few years ago, I like that breakfast is cooked to order and served fresh, we also ate dinner in the restaurant which was both delicious and very good value. All in all nothing at all to complain about here, and I would recommend.

United StatesThe bed and couch killed our backs............ i mean killed. We are both super flexible but by day 3 our backs were shot from the couch and bed. We binge-watched some Netflix so maybe the couch (super uncomfortable after an hour) may have been the culprit. Bed Pillows like rocks. Restaurant - the servers really don't seem to understand English (or my rudimentary spanish)..... not the sharpest tacks. Food OK. Coffee marginal and cold at times. Can't really complain.
So - the room was very nice, plenty of size, clean. Grounds nice, pool nice, lounges nice and restaurant ok. No beach. Big plus - very very hot shower plenty of water. Has a sign saying "water filtered 99.9%" safe to drink ..... i admit, however, i got a touch of diarrhea last day - could have been previous place that we stayed......... (Eco Lodge).

United StatesSometimes the waits were long - or we had to go elsewhere (especially for dinner if no reservation was made first). The service was frequently slow, but the view (next to the ocean) made the longer waits more enjoyable. We noticed the service was slow at many restaurants we visited though. When on the beach area - be ready for the vendors to come to you... constantly. For the most part they are good when you say "no, gracias" but sometimes they try to push their wares. Bring cash for the beach things (like chairs/umbrellas/drinks/vendors), credit card security isn't very reliable with the street vendors (restaurants are fine for credit cards).
The food was all very tasty. The pool was lovely and the resort was right on the water. It was a short walk (5 minutes) to the "beach" area where you could rent beach chairs and umbrellas (and order food/drinks delivered to you), OR you could put down a beach towel and enjoy the views. The local beach was very clean and safe and the water was lovely (waves weren't very big).
