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.).

IrelandWe got dinner and we thought that we would have charged at the end and we didn't know that we were supposed to pay straight away, so we left and knocked our room with the card machine to ask you to pay.I found it a bit rude as of course we wanted to pay but I was expecting another way to communicate it in an hotel of that level.

LebanonThe only comment we had is that meals are somehow overpriced. But understandably those are private resort rates. The resort is also quite a drive from downtown Aqaba (around 30 minutes) and with no Ubers and quite pricey taxi costs, staying in and enjoying all the facilities in the resort is the best option.
Everything you need for a relaxing and calm break is in Luxotel. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights, we did not leave the resort once. The room was spacious and comfy. Breakfast was rich and diverse and has heathy options. Staff was really nice, they even upgraded us for free to a garden & seaview room and provided hot drinks on the house more than once. The Red Sea is just mesmerizing and you have excellent access to it. We did the couple massage full package and Shahd (the masseuse) was amazing, her hands are magic. Everything was great!

The friendlyness and helpfullness of all people here at the hotel. From the moment we walked in, and I was sick, they arranged everything for us. Special thanks to Svetlana and here team. They made a room ready for us, so we could check in directly. A beautiful room with seaview. Also the staff of the restaurant was amazing. They brought toast and tea to our room. The hotel is not too big and it is adults only, what is also an advantage. The food in the restaurant is also very good, a wide variety of dishes. Also a la carte eating is possible. The pool area is very comfortable and also the beds near the sea looks nice. You can snorkel here, surprised to see so many fish and beautiful coral, and there is also a diving center at the hotel: Royal Diving Club So, even when you are not sick, this hotel is paradise!

The restaurant for breakfast and evening buffet was excellent. Very fresh and delicious vegetables and beautiful cooked meats. The staff are attentive and really friendly. The swimming in the sea on the private beach with corals and lots of species of colourful fish was wonderful. There is also a scuba club and a nice fresh swimming pool. The sea view from our room on the second floor was beautiful. We enjoyed the company of the resident cats at breakfast!

LebanonThe staff were amazing, always smiling and welcoming, professional and friendly at the same time. The room was really clean, the beds sooooo comfy, everything needed was in the bathroom from towels to toiletries, to hair dryer... It's lovely to have that easy access to the beach, the pool, the jacuzzi. The breakfast is wonderful and generous, a delight for the eyes and mouth! You can even pay for a great buffet dinner with a wide variety of national and international dishes. And if you're a fan of spa or would like to try it, don't miss it! Shahed the masseuse is a real pro!

IrelandUnfortunately we were constantly asked whether we had lodged a credit card at reception when we ordered anything. For a place we were paying a lot of money to stay in, this was a bit annoying.
We loved the relaxed atmosphere and open policy on bringing your own drinks while maintaining their dry hotel policy. The place was well maintained, clean and the staff were great.

United KingdomPerfect size for a few days of relaxing post road trip The beach is a good size and the reef just off the beach is in excellent condition. Plenty of loungers. Buffets excellent. Staff attentive and always cheerful. We liked the fact it was not in Aqaba. Great sunsets. Pool or beach areas to relax by and good swimming. We didn’t leave for 5 nights and felt totally relaxed by the end. If you are an independent traveller/self driving as we were this was an oasis of calm at the end of a hectic 6 days sightseeing. The private beach made all the difference. Compared to the large, faceless resort hotels in Aqaba this sort of place gets our vote every time. Bring your own snorkels. Flippers not needed. Reef shoes not needed.

This resort is absolutely perfect and everything you are looking for. It is so clean, quiet and welcoming. The staff is so kind and helpful. The rooms were very very comfortable and clean, and perfect to relax. There even was a free minibar. The facilities were great too. The pool was beautiful, big and clean. The beds near the pool and at the (private) beach were so comfortable and it wasn't too crowded even though the resort was fully booked while we were staying there. We absolutely loved the private beach at the resort with the possibility to go diving and/or snorkling, with a beautiful piece of coral with so many tropical fishes. That was a highlight for us. The resort is situated a bit away from Aqaba centre (20 min ride), which was actually a plus for us. That made the resort very calm and quiet, with enough to do (there is also a spa where they offer great massages). Also, you don't need to leave the resort since you can eat/drink everything there. You can't order alcoholic drinks, which we now and also wasn't a problem since you can bring your own drinks. Overall, it was the most calm and perfect stay for us!

CanadaHonestly, there is nothing I didn't like about my stay. The only advice or warning I could tell you is to bring you own snorkeling equipment for they charge a efty price (10jd for 3hrs) for rental at the diving center. Also, the hotel is 20 min drive from Aqaba, so if you don't have you own car, you will have to wait about 30 min for a cab (7jd) to go to town.
Fantastic hotel: the staff is very attentive and helpful. The room and facilities are modern and clean. The food at the buffet is very good and varied, lots of tasty choices for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike.The location is awesome : we really enjoyed the beach and its coral reef with a wide variety of fishes 🐟 , the corals are not as colorful as we would hope for but given it's a few feet from the shore, it's not surprising, it is nonetheless quite enjoyable for the sheer sizes of the corals ( large and numerous) and the number of fishes who inhabit it... every time we went in with our snorkeling equipment, we discovered new things. There is also the Royal diving center in the hotel which offers a variety of outings and lessons for those who like diving. We only did snorkeling and it was a really fun and satisfying experience. We stayed 3 nights during high season and there was plenty of space for everyone (full hotel) at the pool or on the beach. We will definitely come back here.

SingaporeThe location is remote and needs 20 mins ride to town if we wish to have meals outside the Hotel. There is nothing much we can do except chill at the beach or poolside. The Property is quite small, and the occupancy is quite high during our stay, so the poolside is packed. The beach is very rocky and there are not many corals, just some fishes, we got bored after a short snorkel.
The facilities (especially swimming pool) is great. The staff are friendly and ever ready to help. Our rooms faced the sea, and the view is beautiful.
