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.).

IrelandHard to answer this! Maybe the alocation of 1 toilet roll per day per room was a bit mean! We were a family of 4 adults
Our room was airy, bright, and very clean. We have a fantastic view from our balcony. The breakfast had great variety, plenty of everything. The location of the hotel is very handy to 3 fabulous beaches. The hotel had plenty of options to sunbathe, use the pool, and access a nearby bay. The whole experience felt 5 stars

United KingdomNothing, we loved everything about our stay, keep doing what you're doing!
We stayed in this Hotel for 7 nights and it was absolutely fantastic. By far the prettiest hotel in the area. The rooftop pool is beautiful, we were offered a free upgrade on arrival as there was availibity which was hugely appreciated, and the view from the balcony was insane. The rooms and hotel in general was spotless and the staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so friendly! I'd recommend this hotel to anyone, the privite cliffside was also amazing, as was the daily breakfast. I'll be coming back for sure!!

Location was fantastic. No need for a car if you’re only planning on staying for 4/5days as you can walk to everything… beaches, restaurants, cafes, shops. Swimming/sunbathing from the hotel rocks is by far the best place anyway. Breakfast is delicious and the staff are super friendly. By far the best place to stay in Bali.

United KingdomEverything was great about this hotel: not only room and hotel exceeded our expectations, but staff members and owner were very friendly and caring and made our stay unforgettable. This hotel is definitely even better than on photos, it is a treasure in the middle of Bali, within walking distance you find 5 different beaches and a lot of nice restraunts.

Recently renovated Greek chic hotel with the most amazing views over Bali. Stayed in a huge duplex room which was perfect for mother and son. The breakfast on the balcony overlooking the port was perfect. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. The staff cannot do enough for you. It is well located between Bali Beach and the Port.

GermanyThere was nothing that we didn't like. However, I would have one minor thing in mind that would have made our stay even more perfect - We would have liked the rooftop with the bar being open and serving drinks every night.
The hotel rooms are very clean, completely new, and decorated nicely. The breakfast was very delicious. A stunner was the terrace with an amazing view over the Bay of Bali. In our opinion, some of the other highlights of this hotel are the pool area on the rooftop, the hotel-owned cliff with queen size sunbeds, the SUP and kayak to use free of charge for hotel guests, and the super friendly staff. We felt very welcomed and would recommend this hotel especially to younger couples who are looking for a relaxing stay.

AustriaMy boyfriend and I stayed at the Blue Bay Hotel for a week and it was a phenomenal experience. The staff is so welcoming, helpful and attentive- we felt completely taken care of. The private cliff and the pool on the roof absolutely make the hotel stand out from the rest and the (free of charge) cabanas gave us that extra bit of luxury feeling. We loved the amazing view that is provided from pretty much any point of the beautiful hotel including our spacious room.

HungaryWe needed to check out on our last day. :(
This was the best hotel experience of our life: the first thing you see when you enter is the beautiful view of the sea through the friendly lobby of the hotel. The nicest staff ever (literally!), awesome and varied breakfast on the terrace, regular BBQ events with delicious pulled beef and hamburger next to the roof pool, amazing architecture with very unique and clever solutions of using space, e.g. the stairway that runs around the building and takes you to the hotel's private beach, which is by the way simply terrific and unique.

SwitzerlandNothing we didn't like.
Our stay was just 150% amazing and perfect. The location at the cliff with the private access to the beautiful crystal clear water was just breathtaking. Our room had a view onto the water, the balcony was hidden behind a fig tree which gave us lots of privacy. The room was decorated in a modern stylish way, the bathroom was big and everything was perfectly clean. The room was quiet, we never heard other hotel guests. It was very quiet at night and the air conditioning worked well and was almost silent. There was a water cooker and a nespresso coffee machine in the room which I loved. The breakfast was rich and fresh and tasty. We could use the stand up puddle and canoe free of charge. The staff was always friendly and answered all our questions giving us great advise for dinner suggestions. Beaches around Bali were easily accessible by foot, there was also a street train if you didn't want to walk around. The amazing thing was that the hotel was fully booked, but there were never lots of people on the roof top terrasse (with pool!) nor on the private cliff with water access. We never had to reserve a sunbed or rush to get one, there was always plenty of space. We would totally come back and can only recommend this hotel. From what we saw in Bali, this hotel is the best!

SloveniaThis is one of the best hotels we've stayed in! Everything is great, starting from the location and staff, which is very kind, nice and attentive. The hotel room was very nice and clean and has everything a couple needs :) Breakfast was delicious, especially when you can eat it on such a beautiful terrace with an amazing view. We liked the location of the hotel since Bali is a smaller fishing village with cute spots and astonishing views. It is very safe and has everything you need, from supermarkets, restaurants, rental car agencies, ATMs, etc. Bali is located approximately 2,5 hours from Elafonisi and Balos, 1 hour from Preveli. We have visited all these "famous" beaches, which are nice and beautiful, but I have to admit that it was also very nice to stay on the hotel beach as it is very handy and you can use umbrellas and sunbeds for free! The entrance in the water is much easier than it looks in the photos! :) Last but not least, the hotel had "dinner nights" on Sundays and Tuesdays and they prepared very delicious food! If you'll stay there, I recommend you to eat there at least once :) Also the prices for the food and drinks were very acceptable. We'll come back for sure! :)
