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 KingdomThe hot water took a long time to heat up. Also, the hotel felt extremely clean yet almost abandoned with some furniture taped over in plastic and not a soul to be seen. Not that I used it but the pool needed a clean.
This place was quite an odd one. They were doing refurbishments on most of the property and there wasn’t a single other guest there aside from me but strangely they had a lot of staff cleaning the rooms so maybe lots of people just checked out. I had a good one night here with a goal to surf which was available right outside the hotel on the beach. The rooms were spotless and large with a balcony. Despite an abandoned feel I felt safe as a sole female traveller.

United KingdomThe rooms were basic but clean. Wifi dreadful! Food at the hotel was reasonable but plenty on offer elsewhere! Air conditioning was noisy. There were no sun loungers at the pool and it was next to the staff quarters, there was personal washing drying on the pool terrace every day! The hotel is clean but very worn in lots of places, with loose tiles, paving stones and cracked steps.
Breakfast was good, staff were friendly and polite. The pool was great but no sun beds to lay on! Monkey feeding was brilliant at 2ish at the pool. Maid service and cleaning of rooms excellent. Beach location was perfect.

Sri LankaA few members of our group reported that their rooms were not clean. Some rooms had cobwebs, and they found spiders and cockroaches in their rooms at night. However, we were able to get rid of them.
We previously stayed at Jaga Bay Hotel years ago. Just like last time, our stay was good overall. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the hotel is located near the beach.

RussiaI must admit the Wi-Fi was pretty slow sometimes.
Awesome hotel at the quiet part of Weligama bay. I would like to thank all the staff: everyone was extremely friendly and hospitable. From fast and comfortable airport transfer to daily rooms cleaning -- any service was provided great. Hotel offers wide selection of fresh fruits on breakfast, nice deck chairs on the first beach line, own swimming pool and cozy rooms with high quality air conditioning. Crucial option for surfers: great school "Surf Discovery" nearby. You don't worry about equipment rentals and all the facilities you may need to catch a wave or two ;-)

DenmarkMost of the aircondition outside the rooms are in terrible state, poorly maintained and noisy. Pool-view rooms are NOT pool-view, but Garden-view. In the rooms deemed pool-view the aircon units are extra noisy because of the clustered location in the hallway Pool was missing most of the steps on the ladders. The pool itself was properly maintained during our stay Floors above first level has absolutely no water pressure.
Great beach and pool located away from the beach, when the wind is strong. Okay buffet breakfast and kitchen

It didnt feel like relaxing holidays to us . breakfast and lunch very basic . Pool is large but the chlorine in the pool makes the situation unbearable for your eyes.
The only good thing about the hotel is the beach . staff is friendly .
