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.).

GermanyThe sunbeds on the beach with the umbrellas cost extra, depending on the season currently around 30 €/day. But that is typical for Italy. For us it was not worth it, we could spread our umbrella and our large beach blankets but next to the sunbed area, so ok. We also brought beach towels and saved the paid beach towel service of the hotel with it. Not so great is the infrequent cleaning of the room. In 10 days the room was cleaned only once. The cleaning was good, but 2-3 times cleaning per stay would be better. We resorted to the brooms provided and cleaned ourselves, but in a 4 star hotel we would have expected a little more frequent cleaning. Food was quite crowded, but the hotel was also fully booked. We were lucky with our room right next to the forest - those who have their room right by the pool/street/animation area are certainly not as satisfied. The shuttle from the parking lot goes regularly. But you don't need a shuttle, walking 10 minutes is usually no problem at all. It is a pity that passengers have to breathe the exhaust fumes of the shuttle, an electric motor would be more pleasant and also more representative for the hotel. Caution, in the upper bunk beds of the children, the drop-out protection is not firmly mounted!!! Our child rather slept in the lower bed after the fall-out protection fell out of the upper bunk bed during the night.
A family hotel, very suitable for families with children, directly on the beautiful, clean and child-friendly sandy beach. Breakfast was very good. Although every day the same, but you always had enough there and there was always everything, cheese, sausage, eggs, sausages, cereal, yogurt, etc.. Coffee was not so great, but you could drink it. Lunch was sometimes mediocre, sometimes very good, so overall good. Unfortunately, lunch was very busy, but the hotel was also completely booked at the time. The location on the beach is fantastic. Just in swimwear out of the room and to the beach in under 2 minutes. The beach is long in both directions, the guests spread out very well without crowds and stress. There are hotel showers right on the beach, great. The beach is clean, suitable for children, safe. This is a family hotel, there were no parties or loud celebrations. The hotel is very suitable for children, most guests were families with children. Despite this, or because of this, it was very cultured and pleasant. The pool is clean and not crowded. There are enough sunbeds at the pool.

SwitzerlandEntertainments at the evening were only in italian - difficult to participate or understand for non italian speakers. The service of chairs/umbrella on the beach is too expensive (20euros per day).
Food at restaurant buffet was excellent (we have taken half-board). The beach is very beautiful and enough large to have place (we didn't use the service of chairs/umbrella). Swimming pools are nice, and the appartement as well.

United StatesYou have to pay extra fees to use the beach. When we did the booking no one said that the beach is probably and you will need to pay more to use it. One month before or stay i received a message telling me that the beach is probably and if I want to use it we will have to pay extra fees and the fees will include a beach umbrella and chairs. I don't think this is fair or right, you are already staying in the hotel but your are not allowed to use the beach, doesn't make any sense🧐
Breakfast is great 👍 Rooms are comfortable.

DenmarkThere's no shuttle from the train station, so ask them for the number of a taxi. The hotel room and the television was a bit too small. Bathroom had a good size, but was poorly designed. There was a closet too close to the the toilet, for instance, making usage a bit uncomfortable.
All meals were free buffet, varied and delicious, and it included fruits and desserts. The beach is great, plain, soft sand, no rocks. The sun sets at the sea, which was an amazing view every day. Pool area is very nice, beautiful trees around. They also had a mini market, a laundry room and pizzarias.

United Arab EmiratesIt was frustrating not to be able to book the buffet dinner at 7:30pm, if it's not already included in your package, you have to wait till 8:30pm. Booking a day ahead is necessary. The loungers on the beach are paid - the fact that front row is more expensive than the rest is a cheap move, which doesn't fit the overall pleasant experience.
Beautiful beach strip surrounded by nice pine forest, a facility with history (❤️), very nice staff, clean rooms, very decent buffet food for the price. Overall good value for money. Keep in mind it's mainly for families, they have lots of activities also.

Germany- the bathing suit of my wife disappeared when the towels were changed (we suppose). We reported it but nothing happened, at check-out no word about it… The same with our air pump, it just disappeared… - WLAN in the room… only if you are lucky - English is a real problem for most of the employees - even if you ignore the language problem, some employees have no idea what they are supposed to do: at the check-in we didn’t receive the account for the club’s app, so we weren’t able to connect in the app where you are supposed to book stuff; the directions to our room were wrong, we had to search for it with two children and a lot of luggage for some good 10-20 minutes, what somehow spoiled our mood; we ordered pizza, paid for it and afterwards the lady at the desk didn’t inform the ‘kitchen’ about it; conclusion - some more waiting time for us… we can afford it, we’re on holiday - some facilities pretty old, some investment are needed; - some employees seem to be under a lot of stress, understandable from my point of view (see next point) - you can see almost everywhere some “coordinator” with some sheets of paper, documenting and checking stuff… - bottom line: there is a lot of potential to make stuff a lot better, for the issues listed above I think the management has to find solutions. The employees do their best but with no support from the management (only monitoring from what we saw) it will be hard - email from the marketing manager before checking out begging for positive feedback… unacceptable… if you really want to be better, than you will have to accept criticism and do something about it. Otherwise it seems like someone only wanting positiv feedback to get more customers…
- great placement, near the beach - safe parking place, shuttle always there when needed - kitchen in room with everything needed for simple (but also complicated) dishes - entertaining team always in a good mood, trying (and succeeding) to get everyone into a good disposition

United StatesWe understand that COVID-19 changed things; however, the set up for breakfast did not operate well with response to how many guests there were. Also it wasn't clear to the guests how Canado wanted to work. They did not want you to serve yourself for certain items but yet, let you and all the other guests touch/serve themselves for other items (i.e. pour Milk, serve up cereal, etc.). Often the lines would be long and they did not restock the food and basically closed down right in front of your face. Thank goodness that the Service boss was around and corrected the employees actions when he saw it. Thank you.
Lovely beach and the location is fine. Great pizza and we loved that we could pre-order and have it delivered to the reception. The shuttle train ran well and the takeaway bar was also excellent!
