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.).

AustraliaThe buffet breakfast shown in the photos was only provided IF there was a large sports group booked in and even at that, it was not guarunteed that other resort guests could avail of it. This wasn't very transparent when booking, as it is a resort we assumed there would be full breakfast daily as shown in the photos on booking.com. We got lucky one day and could pay 10 eur pp for the buffet (once the group had already finished with it) which was good, but the next day there was no group and therefore no buffet so we only could get a croissant at the restaurant. It is quite isolated, which makes it pretty and calm, but in terms of food, you're quite stuck. Dinner in the restaurant was good but somewhat pricey. The shop didn't have many options to buy food. Just as an FYI. There were many mosquitos in the area, the hotel sprayed our room upon request and also did a mass spraying of the grounds but I would recommend bringing bug spray/creams if you're any way sensitive!
It is in a beautiful location, off the beaten track, view of the hills from our room, beautiful grounds. It is a 10 min taxi ride (25 eur) from Campiglia Marittima train station which is accessible from Rome with a fast train (abou 2 hours). There is the Olympic swimming pool, tennis courts (rackets and balls provided), football fields (ball provided). The bicycles are for hire at an extra charge (10 eur per day for city bike) and its just a 10 min cycle down a country road to the beach so you're really getting lots in this holiday - sport, countryside, beach. The guy's working at the bike shop were very friendly. The apartment had all equipment needed eg pots/pans - but no washing up liquid. Would recommend.

United KingdomNot a complaint, but it seems bizarre that you had to book the on site restaurant and we were almost turned away despite there only being one table there eating! We think a no booking first come first served policy would serve them better. Also don’t forget a swim hat for the pool! We read reviews and brought some in advance.
Loved the space of the apartment, the facilities were brilliant for children, staff very kind and you never felt rushed or crowded. Bike hire staff lovely, swim lifeguards jolly and the lady in the shop is a delight. Laundry facilities incredibly useful and easy to use. Also love the doggy sunbathing area which was highly amusing for our 1 year old. Fantastic stay for a sporty family.

SlovakiaThe restaurant with swedish breakfast is just for big groups, families could buy only typical italy breakfast. We prefere to have some nice breakfast as omelete, ham and chees, vegetables and fruit. This would be really nice.
The areal was really nice, we could play tenis or table tenis for free. You can bring or borrow the bicycle and go for tours. There is a nice swimming pool, market and ice cream shop. The sand beach is near by car. Near the areal is Populonia train station and markets, pizza and caffeteria. We had a very good time.

ItalyThe so promised heated swimming pool was always occupied by teams form sports centers, from 8 am to 8 pm every day. Our kids, and ourselves, were so disappointed that during 4 days we could not even approach it. Since there are two other swimming pools, why can't you arrange them to be also heated and used by the regular guests?
Very good facilities, spacious, simple but effective: very good fridge, cook and microwave to allow you to have your own meals. Excellent food at the restaurant and excellent the bike service in the premises.

SloveniaA bit far from the beach, but a short ride with bikes did the job. The bike rental staff did not allow the kids to use their own bikes on the pump track saying it is not allowed to use 29" or fully suspension bikes, trying to sell a BMX bike although the pump track was not in that great shape. The menu in the restaurant was available only via QR code in Italian only without any pictures. Difficult to choose.
The parking was free. The olimpic pool was heated. Great pool for trained swimmers. The restaurant was ok, but nothing special.

United KingdomA car is needed for going to the beach, parking is easy when going earlier in the morning or afternoon, otherwise very busy. The check-in was very basic, you need to find a lot of information by yourself.
The one room bedroom is generous and equipped with everything needed for your stay. You have everything at the reach of a few steps: the pool is fantastic, tennis courts, football pitch, bike rental, the restaurant on site is good.
