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.).

The breakfast is a bit expensive.
The sensorial shower was incredible! The tea room was nice place to wait for our appointment for massage, by the way, products used were divine, place itself lovely. I didnt want to leave. Vitorien, Maria and Clare were so professional, so friendly too.. The whole experience was delightful, highly recommend this hotel/spa.

Bathroom was clean but needed a little refresh in places. The glass sliding door easily came out of the runner and jammed.
Great location, easy walk through the park to the centre and port. Friendly reception staff, very helpful even with late arrival and early checkout. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and everything fresh. Booked parking and that was very close to the hotel.

Reserved parking was behind the hotel across a road outside some flats- so didn’t feel that secure. Room fairly small, but had everything we needed.
Only a five minute walk into town. Near to town and places to walk the dog. Helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast

Our second stay here. Says it all! Friendly reception, same suite as last year: spacious, clean, comfortable 👌. For us, the perfect location. Ten minutes to the shops, restaurants and harbour. But surrounded by the park, you can also enjoy a rural walk. Across the road, there is the little Animal Park, and two minutes more, and you're at the little beach ⛱️ 😀 😎. Highly recommend the beach bar for snacks etc.

we’ve stayed at many hotels in the world but never had anything close to the service we received from Vincent. Such a star when it comes to personal service. We had our dog with us who also enjoyed the stay and was warmly welcomed. We visited the spa, after a personal introduction of it by Vincent, and it was modern and very cosy. Over all a great stay!

I would have liked slippers to be provided, for non-spa customers, like us, a coffee machine in the bedroom, rather than instant granules (ugh!), more Lipton's yellow teabags for my husband and some fresh milk. The only other thing was that the shower tray was stained yellow and the grouting, near the shower tray needed to be repaired. During breakfast, there was a very shouty woman in charge, in the kitchen. Some of the young staff were nervous around her.
The reception staff were very helpful and welcoming - the best hotel staff we have ever met. The bedroom was clean and in very good condition. All the general areas, like corridors, lounge, dining room, hallways and the gardens were clean and well cared for. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
