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.).

CanadaHotel was is disrepair. Need lots of work. Not like representation in pictures. Pool was not working. It was dirty and broken. Too much money for what I got. The visa machine was always broken so one had to always pay by cash. This was a rip off as they charged a larger exchange rate.
Got worse every morning. Had less each day for breakfast food. Staff was lovely. Hotel was almost empty.

NetherlandsThe pool was closed, the manager not very interested, the breakfast was ok until they tried to feed us old bread and the coffee seemed to be finished. The place is noisy because of the area and the bad isolated room. The rooms lacked a closet and the toilet was nasty This is no 4* hotel. Although it's new, it lacks good management and poor facilities. Thank God for the very nice staff.
The room was spacious, the staff was very nice and the location good. The security guys where the best, always friendly and helpful.

United KingdomBreakfast could have been more variable, but I saw they were trying to approve that at the end of the week, which is very appreciated.
The property is beautiful and the staff was very nice and helpful. When my TV didn’t work and the pipe in the shower had a hole, they fixed it straight away. Nice area, big bed and nice swimming pool as well.

RussiaManagement are rubbish. They don’t care. Couldn’t be bothered to buy ink for the printer for 3 days. Reception staff can’t call out on the hotel phone so they needed to use their personal phones to call for COVID test etc. I feel the sadness of staff working their due to management who clearly don’t care for its staff. Breakfast is 2 star, very poor quality. Hotel poor 3 star. It’s 1 year old but looks 5 yrs old. Will not stay again.
Location 100 metres to beach. Front reception staff. Pool open late.

United StatesI booked this resort online thru booking.com and was given a horrible room in which water was leaking into the room..I had to really complain before moving to a much better room which was more comfy and cozy..I didn't like that they try to make u pay for everything..examples fridge...safe..pay for iron use...They only gave u one cheap roll of toilet paper a day and 1 set of towels..What I didn't like most of all was that they rent to the public to use the pool and have parties..This happened during my stay and it was a complete disaster..Not only was It over compacitated in the middle of a pandemic but they allowed the public to come in and trash the place..Guest had no where to sit it was trash and food all over the place at the end of everything and the just left it like that..I thought that was disgusting for me to have to walk around such filth for the money I spent for the week I was there..I will never stay in their establishment ever again and they also don't have a machine that converts currency which was a Hugh inconvenience..Booking on line told me one price and I paid wayyyy more..pissed me off! The had these huge lizard like things crawling all over the walls..I had many sleepless nights due to this.
The staff was friendly

United KingdomWe had a bad experience at the start as the taxi we booked with the hotel from the airport charged us double than the stated price. The pool was also out of order the whole time there this should of been communicated at booking so we could have gone somewhere else. A few issues: - To use the safe it’s $6 per day, this is insane to keep your valuables safe, for a fridge in your room it’s even more - Currency exchange and card fees are an extra 5-10% so keep this in mind. - Breakfast is super limited - So many random people just outside the hotel bothering you all the time. The place has a lot of potential but just needs a little refining.
The redeeming feature of the place is the staff and the ducks they were both very nice. The rooms are comfortable and showers are hot, the air conditioning is a welcomed reprieve from the crazy hot weather. The wifi is also good but it was not available in our garden room.

BelgiumThe normal price is 2500 per night. Through booking. Com we paid 1000 dalasi more per night. The swimming pool was out of order so no use of swimming pool. Customers did not know before coming. No compensation. In total we rent 5 rooms for 7, 6 and 5 nights.
Breakfast as you could ask for eggs or pancakes. Unfortunately no fruit every day
