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.).

MaltaThe place is perfect if you are looking for a quiet and secluded spot. It is not a party hub :) there were only a few ppl there during our stay, including the staff... We loved it! The calmness and peace. The only thing we ve heard was the sea waves, the trees on coconut occasionally falling on the roofs... 🤣 There are no shops around and the nearest village is about 20 min walk preceded by climbing a small hill.... But we didn't mind living on what the restaurant had in their offer - very affordable prices and delicious meals. And the kitchen is open almost the whole day ( with a short break at about 3 pm ) The shack was quite basic but what more do you need while waking up into this view...? :) I would stay there again :)

United KingdomThere were some spiders and bugs in the room my girlfriend didn't like, but it is in the middle of the jungle so to be expected!
The two owners were absolutely brilliant during our stay catering to our every need. The food was truly delicious and a spectacular view each mealtime. The beach is fully secluded and we had it all to ourselves at one point. A true gem and worth it if you want to be away from all the hustle and bustle of India.

IndiaEverything is perfect
I have no words to describe my stay at Cola Beach Sunset Bay. I liked every bit of it starting from the location. The best part is the hospitality and the cleanliness. The calmness of the place is like icing on the cake. It is a proper Beachfront property and the beach is super clean. Food is also amazing.I will recommend it 100 percent.I will be happy to visit again.

United KingdomThe walk down to Little Cola certainly lived up to its description. The local bus terminates at the point where the track leaves the main road, but there is some signage and taxis/scooters are willing to risk their suspension beyond the half way point. The rest is up to the individual, but notably, by prior arrangement, guests arriving after sunset can be met by the staff bearing torches. Overall, It seemed to us that the “resort” was undergoing something of an uplift with wooden cottages replacing tents. Whilst we opted for the stone version perched a little higher up the slope, it offered little by the way of a balcony or outlook; the newer versions (cheaper) were on the lower level adjacent to the beach, albeit from our perception, only the front two offered an uninterrupted sea view.
The location was just what we were looking for, a remote palm lined beach and for most of the stay we had the place to ourselves. There was plenty of natural shade as well as sun loungers and parasols. Happy to serve drinks on the beach, the staff were amenable and keen to suggest items on the extensive menu which were served on a simple deck overlooking the sea. The food was delicious with mains in the R/s 3-500 bracket, more for fresh fish. Local drinks were sensibly priced with plenty to choose from.

DenmarkCola Beach Sunset Bay was absolutely amazing. It was the nicest stay ever!!! I loved the whole vibe. Staff was so sweet, friendly and so kind - they made you feel really welcome. Miss you already :) Also they did everything to make you satisfied. Food was absolutely great also. Can definitely recommend their seafood, Fried Rice, Greek salad, cold coffee and their garlic gravy paneer. Rooms were some of the cleanest I’ve stayed in and they can also provide laundry service. I loved everything!! Can recommend this place to everyone!! I’m definitely coming back! Lots of love, Sofie

United KingdomWe had an unforgettable experience staying on this serene, quiet beach. Staff were so helpful and polite, they created such a relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in the seafront cabin, it was so clean and lots of space, and the best morning coffee view of the ocean through palm trees! (Do take earplugs because as lovely as the sound of the waves are they can be quite loud for getting to sleep - but that'll be the case in any seafront location!) Food was also amazing, we had a local fried snapper which was delicious, and so much other seafood! An easy 20 minute walk to the bigger, busier cola beach with a couple of restaurants and beautiful blue lagoon. But we were glad to escape away from the crowds back to our peaceful beach. A real paradise.

Czech RepublicThe only thing that I would definitely improve - remove the stones from the sea at teh entry points. They are not too many and shouldn't be big deal to do so, but it will make the swimming experience so much better.
I am very picky when it comes to service and Cola Beach Sunset Bay really has exceeded the expectations. In fact we needed a place to crash for just 1 night while travelling from Karnataka to our place in North Goa, and I have picked this place based on positive reviews. But we loved it so much that we decided to extend our stay for one more night, that's how good they were :). Even though very simple ambience, you have everything you need. Staff was very helpful and friendly, we were late versus time I indicated as a check-in time, yet the guy at the reception (sorry, don't remember the name :) ) was still waiting for us. And the food - just great, I would say one of the best meals we had in Goa during the whole stay. Would totally come again, and not just for 2 nights.
