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.).

GreeceOur room was located next to the laundry area, so every morning we were awakened by the noise of the washing machines, and there was also a vibration in the room as a result. Additionally, the hotel's installation was next to the DEI power plant, and the sea was quite dirty. The children's workshop was closed with a padlock, and in the play area, the toys were broken, and the lawn was muddy, preventing the child from playing.
The entire hotel staff was willing to assist us with any matter. The personnel at the breakfast and snack bar area were exceptionally helpful, as were the lifeguards at the pool area. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the room was comfortable, with all the promised amenities. Moreover, since we had our little one with us and there was availability, they upgraded our room to a two-room suite at the same price for extra comfort!

JapanThe photo shown on booking.com for our room type was actually of a different room type. Our room was smaller and not as nice as the photo. This was disappointing as previously I have found the photos on booking.com to be accurate. There was some noise disturbance from the room above due to the chairs scraping on the floor - this was not the neighbours fault, it was hard to move the chairs without scraping. Also some neighbours liked to play their music loudly. But generally it was quiet after midnight.
Breakfast selection was very good. The beds were comfortable and the room was a good size. The staff were very friendly.

LatviaIn general, the hotel was nice and friendly staff but the most terrible experience was with Spa center. I decided to book manicure service and it was the terrible service I ever received. I hated the whole process and the quality was super bad. I dont suggest to visit SPA or at least manicure. Very bad result which made me super sad as the price was higher than in any other salons.
In general, the hotel was nice and friendly

United KingdomSee above.
We were half board and the buffet provided a huge choice of food for both breakfast and dinner. Very good. What wasn’t so good was the one night we booked the ‘Italian’ restaurant. Very, very disappointing and not worth paying for. We should have walked out when the waitress informed us there would be an extended wait for any meat or fish dishes because it was ‘all frozen’. Stupidly we stayed and ended up waiting about an hour for our steaks, which definitely weren’t worth the wait. They arrived a few minutes apart and with the wrong sauce for my wife’s. The potato croquettes looked and tasted like Captain Birdseye’s. So, all in all pretty awful food and service. A complete waste of money. We should have stuck with the buffet.

Israel1. The sign "only for only inclusive" relevant at Dinner should be removed at Breakfast from the drinks dispenser. 2. More shades should be in the pool area. 3. A free power socket should be on both sides of the bed. 4. Bath is not properly closed and a lot of water spilled out. 5. A safety handle near the bath is needed for elders. 6. Guests should be informed about the option of purchase low price bus tickets at the gift shop. 7. The pool table was out of order at all time.

LatviaAt room reservation it said coffee/tea maker - there was no such service in room, only electric kettle. I expected that if there is electric kettle then at least there will be some tea available, but there was nothing. Air conditioner didn't work properly. I requested 1 double bed - got 2 single beds. YoutTube didn't work properly on TV. If you go for lunch in hotel and order coffee, they have to bring it all the way from the bar, although coffee makers are just there (used during breakfast), but switched off.
All staff was really welcoming and polite. High variety of food in breakfast and even choice of local foods which we enjoyed. All breakfasts we had outside, so we could also enjoy the garden view. Excellent view from our room as it was overseeing same garden and could see beach in a distance. We had some additional requests as we were traveling with 1 year old kid and hotel staff had no issues fulfilling them. Plenty of room at the pool area. For our surprise also water aerobics was free of charge. Parking area only for hotel guests, so there was no issue with parking spaces. We liked also location of hotel, as we were planning to travel by car, so everything was quite close by. Beach is nearby hotel, so you have no issues going there. We went to other areas in Heraklion, and it is a clearly issue in other places. Also beach is quite wide and with soft sand at hotel area, compared to other places were beach is very narrow and in some places covered in rocks and see urchins. Although other reviews mention factory nearby, you don't see it from hotel and if you go to the beach it is somewhere in the distance, so it doesn't affect you at all.

SwitzerlandThe sea at the beach is cold as it's where the river with the snow water meets the sea, so not very warm water temperature. We had booked a Bungalow, but they gave us a normal room, so that was a bit disappointing.
The location was nice and the Resort was very well maintained - very refreshing and a smiling warm staff. The food is ok, not very great.

They didn't inform us about how expensive getting the pictures are and were mad when we didnt wanted to spent so much for mediocre photos when we have cameras on or phone which make even better pictures!
