How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

For a family with an active little boy this place is perfect. walking distance to everywhere, the beach, the souk, the port and the public gardens. It was really handy and practical. the staff were exceptional, they organised taxis for us to go anywhere, helped us order dinners and take away and always looked after us. They also helped entertain our very active 3 year old. the location is truly perfect and while we went in winter where a lot of places are closed, it was perfect for us. the sea views are incredible.

The power cut off every night for an hour or 2. This isn't the hotel's fault, as the whole neighbourhood was blacked out each night due to the power issue in Lebanon. However it was hot and humid as we stayed during July and without AC running for a few hours each night tended to wake us due to the heat. Not a major drama and something you need to live with currently in Lebanon.
The location of the hotel was fantastic. Easy walk into the old town of Byblos and restaurants only a few minutes away. The staff at the hotel were awesome. Super friendly and welcoming and make our stay all the more better. The hotel is basic and the room finish and appointments are humble (3 star) but the value for money is great. One of our measures of a good hotel is the water pressure in the shower, and this hotel was awesome! we had a great stay and would definitely recommend for others.

Perfecty located just along the beach, 7min walk from the souk and archeological site. The venue is a bit oldish and resembles 80ties-like hotels, it simply requires urgent referbishement. Neverthless the magnificent seaview compensates this drawback. Just ask for a waterfront room.

At times the noise in the hallways was disturbing, especially from other guests with noisy children several rooms away or from other guests arriving home in the middle of the night. Perhaps the hotel could ask guests to observe more quiet during certain hours. Otherwise I loved this place!
The staff were wonderful and went above and beyond in making my stay an excellent one. I loved the view from my room and the sound of the ocean. The air conditioning worked well and the room was very clean.
