How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Talking about prices, beware that the receptionist will try by all means to increase taxes and the conversion rate, so be prepared to discuss if you don’t want to get robbed. The WiFi is precarious, only available in the main lobby and even for WhatsApp, it was slow to use. The breakfast was disappointing, with 100 types of pastries all the same and with flies around them, limited fruit options, and no meat options, not even ham.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing incredibly bad about this place, but for the price paid, it's okay to expect more. The location is good, in front of one of the main streets and a 10-minute walk from the beach.

entertainment on beach could be moved to other side of beach as its right next to massage area. loud music was too much while getting a relaxing massage. my room 619 was right near the back of local club with loud pumping music. i love loud music but not while getting massage and not while trying to sleep. felt like I was in the club some nights
There was really friendly staff and so helpful if you need anything. I was just bed and breakfast and I was happy with that service and selection of food to eat in morning. Nice hotel room cleaned every day. Great location right in city centre next to shops and places to eat. Really nice beach. Great massage place on beach or in resort for Turkish bath etc. I had massage every morning and a Turkish bath. Great service all round they were so helpful and friendly. Brilliant massages.

I stayed in this hotel just for one night before heading to slightly more far away Stella hotel. When I arrived after 5h flight I wanted to take a shower. Had to ask for towels 3 times; after the last time of going to the reception and asking for bathroom towels Housekeeping came then 3 times, first one with towels, second with water (didn’t ask) around midnight, and third time with additional tower at 00.21! (Didn’t ask for it, housekeeping didn’t take no for an answer when I tried to ignore loud knocking on the door at 00.21 and I had to get up 3rd time and open the door to receive additional foot towel I didn’t ask for. I think the guy was trying to be nice but they do not understand at all that they cannot disturb Guests sleeping after midnight just to give smth they didn’t ask for and which was not used. Then when I checked out in the morning, they have tried to blame me that small towel was missing! Rooms are dated, plugs didn’t work, not very clean.
Staff were smiley and friendly, the room was quite large, reception guy was friendly

You can tell that the hotel was a pearl in 1990. Now its screeming renovation, especially bathrooms.
The pool is beautiful and surprisingly big. The location just near a city centers walking streets is great if you are looking for goings-on at evenings. You have a access to a private beach, even though it takes 3 minutes walk.

No car parking area for the hotel or close to the hotel ,, have to pay extra to change the room location from garden view (which was no garden but a high wall )to a pool view. The food for breakfast was a poor quality. We have to buy our drinking water bottles.
The beach was nice & close to the hotel , the swimming pool was clean ,surrounding was comfortable and the pool’s life guard (Mr. Ayman )was nice & very friendly . Room cleaning (Mr. Nader )was nice and trying to do his job as best as he can with the poor hotel supplies. and last the young man( Ali )from the reception tried to help us to get a comfortable room . A lot of thanks to those people.
