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.).

Excellent location just back from the trip and inter-island ferry piers, easy access into the main restaurant areas and sea frontage. This was an excellent little hotel whose facilities allowed for added enjoyment during our stay on the island. Nice pool area (smaller than some of the photos show but very enjoyable as the weather was hot and humid at times. Pleasant bar abd breakfast staff who were happy to assist.

United StatesBreakfast at the hotel didn’t open until 6:30am, despite knowing that a lot of people have tours asking them to be at the ferry port by 6:30am. It could have been nice if they opened the restaurant for breakfast at 6:00am.
Location was close to the ferry port, yet very private and quiet. The pool and the jacuzzi were great, the inner courtyard decor and flower gardens all around were very tastefully arranged. It all gave us a great vacation feeling. The bar and towel service was amazing, breakfast was excellent.

United StatesHard to think of what could have been better, we really enjoyed our stay and would go back again!
The location was excellent, the staff was friendly and very helpful. One of a number of extra things they did was help us find a taxi van large enough for all 6 of us to go together to the airport. They even opened the breakfast area half an hour early for us on the morning we had to leave. We had a great time playing pool in the bar area and enjoyed the swimming pool as well. It was a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, where we could chill out, get drinks and refreshments after a long day on one of our amazing excursions.

CanadaThey are very honest about this, but just in case it is something that makes or breaks your experience, the WIFI only works in the common areas. This was not an issue for us, but other guests complained.
Ninfas was the perfect location especially while on the island for Carnival, it was close enough to the action but far enough away that you weren't bothered by noise at night. The staff at the lobby/pool bar were exceptional. Breakfast in the morning was really nice, and it was the first place we stayed that had an early enough start time that we were able to participate even on days where we had a tour or diving trip booked.

Outside bar area with comfortable seating, pool table, and lots of games. Shower had consistent hot water. Location so convenient and less than 2 blocks from the port! Used the free bikes to go to tortoise breeding center! Highly recommend.
