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 KingdomWould have preferred one of the pools to be slightly bigger and some of the fixtures in the room to be newer.
Overall facilities are wonderful given the choices as the various Royal properties are in the same compound. Great breakfast and exceedingly helpful staff. The location next to the Lapad Bay Walk and the proximity to the bus stop with a bus route to the Old Town was also very convenient. The facilities around the beaches (all beaches are rocky and not sandy) were also first rate.

IrelandIt was perfect. On our return-Didn’t like the fact that the hotel group could cancel your booking, not inform you until arrival at night and place you in a total different hotel ( not even their hotel group).
The breakfast was unreal. Great choice. Very fresh. We loved the roof top pool so much we are returning to the sister hotel the Royal Neptun( in a few days -couldn’t get the Ariston) on our return journey. Unfortunately arrived on our return to find that the sister hotel had cancelled our booking ( we had paid in full and confirmed late arrival). We were given a lesser room in a not as nice a hotel. It ruined what had been a lovely experience with this hotel group. If you want to ensure you definitely have your room book elsewhere.

Croatiathe experience was marred by a couple of significant issues that I feel must be addressed. The air conditioning in the room was not working for an entire day. Despite multiple notifyications to reception starting at early morning, it was only fixed at 9 pm. The repairman’s presence in the room for an full hour was an unwelcome disruption to my plans. Unexpected issues can hapen, but upon checkout, the response I received was a simple “we are sorry for the inconvenience,” which felt inadequate and robotic as this is not the level of service one would expect from a 5-star hotel. Furthermore, I was initially provided an invoice that was almost 150 EUR higher than it should have been. Although the issue was eventually resolved, I lost an hour at reception going back and forth during checkout. This added frustration to what should have been a smooth process. Once again, this is not something I would expect from a 5 star hotel.
I was pleased with my stay. The comfort of the bed was one of the highlights of my experience; it allowed for restful nights after long days of exploring. Additionally, the location of the property is superb. The beach near the hotel is genuinely beautiful, and I found it to be a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The view from the room was breathtaking. The staff was consistently polite and prodesion, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. I must highlight the food and beverages manager, Ante, who was exceptionally helpful. His unexpected friendly gestures truly lightened our experience and added a personal touch to the stay.

United KingdomWe booked 2 rooms but were assigned different buildings. The check in clerk upgraded us to the Royal Princess where we were still at opposite ends of the building but closer than the Ariston. The in house laundry service stained 2 of my shirts and didn’t press any of our washing despite my request to do so and approval of the extra cost.
Beautifully located beside the ocean, with a selection of restaurants and lovely helpful staff. The rooms are very comfortable.

United KingdomBreakfast is chaotic! Like herding ants! But not the hotels fault, and so much choice of quality food items, even a bubbly drink! Beach is rocks and concrete.
Luxurious and quality decor. Beautiful sea view. Decadent. Staff helpful in multiple languages 24hour. Usage of all Royal facilities. Quiet efficient lifts. Quality and choice of food available. Pools clean. Close to bus stops for easy reach into old town. Quality toiletries. Mini bar available. Roomy balcony. As of August 2023: €2 one way into old town. €20 taxi from ferry port. €45 taxi to airport.

NorwayThe room was nice and clean, I would not make a big deal out of it, but I would like to write a couple of things that cought my eyes the longer I stayed in the room: - first time I took a shower, the drain was blocked. i fixed it by pressing my hand against it so the water went down - a shampoo bottle lock and knot of hair under the bed - dust on wall base board and top on light switches - bottle opener was missing from minibar
I had a very nice stay at the hotel. Full of opportunities for activities also. The standard of the room was excellent.

United KingdomThe pools could have been cleaner, especially the one on the roof of the Blue hotel, the tiles were needing a good scrub. Very busy at breakfast. The access into the sea could be better, im not sure how they would do it, maybe some non slip matting.
hotel and room were lovely, we hadn't realised it was part of 5 hotels! Great for going around different pools. the bus into the old town was only a 5 min walk from the hotel and just 2 euros. All staff friendly and very helpful.

SerbiaActually it’s not that relevant, as a Caribbean, only bit of a downside I can think about is not having a better, larger beach area available, other than that the place is superb and the Ariston staff and facilities make you forget about it…
The staff, especially the cleaning team, amazing! Thanks 😊 Food courts always at its best, pools always pristine, restrooms well maintained.
