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.).

The restraunt wasn't the cleanest In the morning The floor was covered in confetti from the night before And there was often a shortage of cutlery for breakfast.

United KingdomIf I’m being picky the mattress was a bit hard for my liking, would have preferred something with a bit more give. Also the tiled bench in the steam room was in need of some maintenance. About 200 missing mosaic tiles which need plugging
Breakfast was great, lots of choices. All the staff were friendly and polite and went the extra mile. I enjoyed using the spa, especially the outdoor jacuzzi and the views were great.

United KingdomOur room was like a furnace, far too hot couldn’t sleep was so hot…..For the cost of the 2 night stay at least SPA or full Breakfast menu should be included but it’s not , family SPA times are not the best either, value for money isn’t great at this hotel …..all your paying for is the nice view…..too many added extra expense that are always included at higher end hotels throughout the world I’ve been.

United KingdomThe miss communication with booking.com that breakfast was included. In fact it was a continental breakfast and a cooked breakfast was an extra charge. This was hidden in the small print and should have made clearer. All the staff were pleasant, but one member of staff was running in the restaurant area during breakfast. Not proffesional at all and dangerous with guests with hot coffee etc. The room smelt strongly of cleaning chemicals that could have been nicer. The towel rail didnt work and was rusty. Also was dissapointed that it was described as a spa hotel when the use of the facilities was an extra £20 again hidden in the small print.
The location and views from the room and hotel were amazing. The little private beach was very peaceful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe cleanliness needs a lot of work, the carpets in the rooms and the restaurant are definitely in need of a good wash. The overall condition of the place is a bit run down but they were doing maintenance and painting the walls.

United KingdomI felt for the price (but i know that area is expensive) the room was small and not any more luxurious than a premier inn. The bed and pillows and bathroom average, size and quality as a premier inn. The breakfast was only continental, there was no honey and it was all self service. I could have paid for eggs or cooked food bit it was at least a further £10 The spa would have been an extra £20 if I hadn't had a massage and complained about the price. Booking. com didf not make it clear that the swimming pool and spa was a cost to be paid daily on use. I think had i gone as a couples stay i would have been disappointed. The spa was nice though the changing rooms tiny and very wet floors and humid for changing in. The hotel is worth staying at if you want a spa treatment, but a romantic bedroom stay NO! if my husband had been with me, it would have been disappointing as there was no luxury to the room for sitting in. As hoteliers i felt that the business is not pushing the boat out for their customers. More could be offered for the price.
The spa was what I needed after a busy 4 days. the views were good.
