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.).

United StatesNothing.
Excellent food and service. We used all three restaurants. A hotel shuttle was available to take you to the market in downtown Castries and to the beach where the hotel had reserved chairs for guests. We were there during Reggae night when the hotel had an outstanding steel drum band followed by an exciting fire show.

United KingdomBathrooms are a bit small but otherwise the rooms are good. Some of the restaurant staff could be rather curt which stood out when compared to bar and front desk staff.
Very accommodating staff particularly at check out and check in. Good range of food and drinks particularly from the al la carte restaurants. Comfortable rooms with a good view of the city and sea beyond.

United KingdomThe room didn’t feel so private as the bathroom had an always open window and the main door wasn’t very soundproof. There was not enough beach towels on offer, never being available when we requested. There was a surprising amount of leaf blowing being done by the gardeners in the mornings which you could hear across the resort which was annoying when trying to relax!
The food and drinks in the main buffet were great, with new local options to try each day. The two pools were nice, with lots of deck chairs surrounding the pool. The gardens and the beach walk on Saturday with Geoffrey were lovely.

AustriaAlthough it's an all inclusive hotel, you need to pay for water. Didnt like that. As you should drink plenty of water at hot temperatures.
Breakfast and Dinner is buffet. So everyone should find something to eat. Haven't had Lunch, but I guess its the same. Location is on an hill, 10min from City Center.

United KingdomThe location is in the capital, there’s not many places you would want to walk to, simply because everything is so hilly.
The staff were lovely and did everything in their power to make your stay comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and the entertainment was fun and the variety was good too.

SwitzerlandI wish I could have stayed longer..
Great hotel with amazing views and friendly staff. I liked everything there. I was welcomed by smiley and helpful reception. I really appreciated the early check-in as the room was ready. The garden bungalow was spacious, clean and very cosy. I appreciated the coffee facilities and cosmetics. AC was working very well. The hotel has 2 big swimming pools, drinks served at the bar were delicious. The food in the restaurant (lunch, dinner and breakfast) was delicious and there were plenty options to choose from. Staff (reception, bar, cleaning service, restaurant) should be given extra credits. You get much more for the price you pay and I can truly recommend this place.

CanadaFor me and my friend the only one thing we wished they had was a duvet. I know it’s summer but a comfy cotton duvet would be so good because the air condition is cold. We have to have the air con on because it is hot. What they provided was just a cotton sheet that to us was not enough.
This staff are all super friendly and helpful and welcoming. Everyone of them. It made our stay much more enjoyable. The food selection was great and never boring and the food is so delicious.
