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.).

PortugalThe bathroom wasn’t equipped with neither shampoo nor conditioner which was a must with all the salt water. The hotel is a little bit far from the night life which isn’t a deal breaker but something to think about
The staff were great, food exceeded expectations (better than any other Spanish food) and it’s the perfect location to have a getaway

United KingdomThis was our second time and I cannot say it was as good as our first. Room got cleaned after non disturb sign was on the door, one of our towels got moved off one of the bed during lunch, front desk staff were rude during check out and found out that a few of the guests had paid considerably less for the day amount of time duration. Lost that management connection from last year, also.
Love Portinatx and exploring the area on the top of the island. Thorough room clean and inclusive is good to have. Staff are great most of the time away from the reception team.

United KingdomThe food is terrible we ate out most nights I would never do AI in a Sandos again same food every day same lunch as dinner really boring and bland we got a burger at snack bar and it was raw in the middle! The pool area gets packed by 10am and the area is very small so you need to get up at the crack of dawn. Drinks are awful no named brands I brought my own wine from the shop every night. If your not fussy about quality then you will be fine.
The bed is really comfy and the air con works great! The entertainment was okay doesn’t last very long though.

United KingdomThe lack of space around the pool, the hotel was fully booked and you couldn’t get a sun bed which are packed very closely together. The beach is fantastic but you have to pay €24 euros a day for two sun beds and an umbrella.
The staff were lovely and the location is stunning.

United KingdomIt was fine for us but worth being aware hotel is set on hillside, so outside around pool area there are lots of steps. Portinatx is in the north and there is limited public transport, so if you want to see more of the island hiring a car may be the way to go.
We were all inc, food generally very good, pina coladas excellent, staff all very friendly and helpful, resort is fairly quiet which we enjoyed. Beach is beautiful and accessible from hotel by a few steps. Really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Netherlandsthe room wasn’t clean when we checked in (there were long dark hairs everywhere and they were never removed in the days when we had our room cleaned. the bed is also super uncomfortable. the mattress is not great at all but the pillows don’t do anything for you. barely slept during my stay. also, the airconditioning only turns on after minutes after turning it on…
the location is great! right next to the beach and close to a few restaurants.

AustraliaSoundproofing was quite poor - you could hear people walking around upstairs (booming). No shampoo, moisturiser in bathroom (just hand soap and body wash in the shower). I would have expected shampoo at a minimum at a place like this
Beach was one of the best on the whole island and definitely the best in portinatx. Buffet breakfast was extensive (I cannot count on other meals). Clean. Staff were friendly and competent Overall the building, fixtures and decor are on the older side and in need of a refresh but there is nothing specifically wrong

United KingdomResort was poor, smelt of sewage every day. All areas outside of the hotel, bars, pool and entertainment areas were blighted by the smell. This is no fault of the hotel (which was excellent), but the resort area is badly managed, empty shops and an old water park full of weeds and an actual puddle of sewage on the beach in the next cove, dog poo everywhere. It was so bad we wouldn't lie on the beach no matter how pretty the view out to sea from our hotel.
The hotel was clean, the room lovely, food brilliant and staff couldn't have done any more to look after us. The royal elite service was fabulous. Good quality drinks and a la carte restaurant experience exceeded our expectations. You can't fault the service and the cleanliness of this property.

United KingdomThe room was very small, and there is nowhere to put your stuff in the bathroom. We wanted to pay for a late check out but it was not possible. We were allowed to use a hospitality room for showers but were told only 15 minutes allowed for each person which I thought was mean. We had to shower, got changed within these 15 minuses and there was no reason to be like this, the room was quite free the whole day.
The location was good, very close to the beaches The food was quite good as well and the staff were very friendly and helpful The two guys who were in charge of entertainment worked very hard to keep people entertained They are very funny and a credit to the hotel

United Kingdompool too small and sun beds jammed in, far too many and near to other beds, no privacy. without the beach they would struggle with the pool facilities and size of hotel. there is a dis-used water park attached to the property which either needs to be pulled down and more pools added or reinvented as a water park. when you drive in to the hotel the first thing you see is this and it doesn’t make a good first impression. there was a terrible sewage smell both on the bathroom and whilst laying on the beach we also smelt it quite often.
great situation, right on beach, fabulous breakfast selection

amazing location, recently refurbished, beach club is a nice addition, food is OK but for max for 3/4 days otherwise is much the of same and you'll be looking to go out.
