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 KingdomSpace, location.
Thank you all for making my stay memorable. I will never forget the beautiful sunrise in 6.15am and first swim the same time. Ruben was the day star and the best helper, also the lifeguard. My only advise to the hotel - more attention to the environment, surroundings and cleanliness of the whole beach not the hotel part. Spa is another little gem of the complex. The food and the chef with all the staff were amazing. Great place to feel happy.

Everything, the hotel is beautiful. Pool and beach side by side, had beach to ourselves most days but best thing about Maalu Maalu is the staff. We took our 19 month old daughter and honestly they couldn’t have done more for us, unfortunately I didn’t get all there names but everything staff member was extremely helpful and friendly and I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

BulgariaThe pool closing at 8pm is a bit early. I know this is a fault/ agreement of every resort on the beach, but it's uncomfortable seeing the local residents confined to one small space while the rest of the beach is more or less empty aside from 20 white people,
Friendly staff as always in Sri Lanka. Breakfast and dinner buffet have a wide range of food which is all fine. The bar/ restaurant by the beach serves great food and drinks and is better quality than the buffet. The pool is terrific, really great swimming in there with a view of the ocean ahead.

United KingdomIt wouldn’t take much to make this place really good. The setting could not be any more beautiful but a bit of attention to making the rooms feel a bit more special would help. Food and service times need a bit of thought. The staff are wonderful however.
It is a beautiful hotel in a stunning location on the east coast. The beach is lovely and clean and the sea is calm and very safe for swimming in July/ august time which is the opposite of the south which is only calm in December/ January. The staff are delightful but the service can be quite slow. The food was very good down at the beach at the seafood shack. There is also a buffet and a la carte too. We didn’t eat from the buffet as really don’t like that type of dining experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable and work really well for families. This isn’t a luxury resort however so don’t expect it to be. It’s a relaxed, barefoot resort with a very chilled feel. I would definitely recommended it and also the east coast. The location, the beach, sea and pool are what makes it so special.

United KingdomResort was pretty boring. Not much to do here beyond go in the pool and sea, and certainly not the prettiest part of the coast. Ok for a stopover but I wouldn’t want to linger.
Well located on the beach, with large rooms and decent food.
