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.).

United StatesQuite expensive and doesn't take cards. Path down to waterfront is in disrepair and littered. "Partial ocean view" is highly euphemistic (see photo).
Nice property, recently renovated or at least painted. Secure parking within the gate. Some nice decorative touches. Good AC and wifi. Restaurant and bar with billiards and darts. Nice pool. Access out the back to stairs down to oceanside. Friendly staff.

SpainThe bed was quite uncomfortable, too soft.
The room was big and fully equipped, AC worked perfectly and everything was clean. The people working at the hotel were kind and attentive. The access to the beach is pretty cool.

United KingdomThe area around the pool, and the pool itself are worn out. The breakfast service needed some attention! Safe was not bolted down! The Indian party was akin to hooliganism, badly behaved children and parents, it overspilt into the pool area, there was rubbish and purple paint everywhere and guests were unable to use the facilities. I would have thrown them out.
I liked the room and the staff, particularly Malo who was so helpful. The kitchen and bar staff were helpful and friendly Paula, lovely lady is overworked and not receiving the support of her management team. Proximity to the seaside, taxis, weather , friendliness great.

CanadaThere was nothing we didnt like . But the safes in the room didnt work .
The pool was great ..all the staff were great they always had a big smile and were very welcoming . The chef is fantastic..breakfast is simple but they will cook your eggs anyway you want. Many areas of the hotel are showing its age but everything is very clean .A very nice gazebo at the back of the property was our favorite place to sit .The monkeys visit the property often and are a joy to watch . Paula the manager is very friendly and accommodating and allowed a late checkout ..and Burty the hotel mascot is the cutest little puppy . Will definately be returning .

Germany- sometimes power outage - not all power sockets work (some have loose contact)
- comfortable room with lots of space - the Hotel is just at the Beach - nice host and staff - offer good tours - is not in the touristic area, so you will experience the real Gambia

United KingdomI arrived late at night and it was difficult to rouse the night-time porter/guard to let me in. I had to wait a very long time for my lunchtime pizza.
The room was big with excellent Wi-Fi. The garden was quite nice, and it was a short (10-min) walk to the beach. The lunchtime pizza was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and allowed me to stay for a later checkout.

United StatesAlthough dinner was good, the kitchen would take a long time to make it. We had to wait for over an hour for food to come out (on two separate evenings). Breakfast was just OK, hostel quality. No local beer at the bar (only Sagres from Portugal was available).
The room is huge, good food at the restaurant, and the location is close to the beach, just a short walk downhill (and uphill on the way back). The manager was so sweet. She called us a driver for a trip to the nearby sights. The hotel accepts euros as well as dalasi. Late checkout was available for our midnight flight home. Thank you!

RomaniaThe villa is located near one of the most beautiful beaches in the area! The room is very large, the beds are very comfortable, except for the extra one. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast good, and the food at the restaurant excellent. Wi-fi was working pretty well. Teddy is very cute and he was the hotel mascot! ;-)
