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.).

CanadaThe rooms and the hotel as a whole are getting really quite old and a major renovation is required . The mattresses are by far the worst we have ever had to experience at a hotel. Must be 30 years old, extremely uncomfortable and staff did nothing to please us. It’s unfortunate because we really like the place but we won’t be coming back for sure
I like the location, the overall look of the hotel, the pool and the staff.

United Arab EmiratesBreakfast didn’t meet 5 stars hotel experience , lack of cleanliness. Slow unprofessional service everywhere within the hotel. Very late check in, we arrived at the hotel around 2pm and checked in 5:30pm .. disappointing due to unavailability of bed sheets that was sent for laundry purposes to the city and wasn’t delivered back to the hotel on time according to the manager at the reception desk 🤥. Bad quality coffee and service at Le Tiki So Bar private lunch experience at our villa a big failure. Unfortunately, the staff were unhelpful including the chef who refused to prepare our choice of meals from the offered menu , and worst they want us to go for the experience at the hotel restaurant instead, ridiculous! No facilities , except the golf experience which I’m not interested in . Big swimming pool was closed for some reason. Housekeeping staff will never come to clean your villa , change towels or even provide you water .. you have to call!!! Worst experience I’ve ever had. Reception desk was insane , the moment I stepped in I see employees shouting at each other , then unsatisfied guests complaining .. big mess !! Pricy for no reason.

Francethe management is incompetent. the hotel is dirty and old. the food is at a corporate cantine level. even the golf management do not want to be associated to the hotel. Sofitel needs to change everything in this hotel starting with its manager.
location is literally the only positive point.

United Arab Emirates- It is not at the level of a Sofitel - the hotel is not well maintained - the staff at breakfast were running all around in the first day, second day was better with the presence of a manager. - plates and glasses were smelly at breakfast - orange juice was horrible , like if it was prepared the day before and left outside - the outdoor space is beautiful but not well maintained, things are broken and left there, pool is not heated... - the beach is far from the hotel
Bed was big and comfy, Nice kids club outdoor space.
