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 KingdomVery uncomfortable sunloungers. At the end of our stay the whole pool area was closed due to a rally. This was communicated by a small notice at reception. We should have been informed at the time of booking, or at least on arrival. Also the beach restaurant was closed one night with no notice given.
Excellent location. Nice room. Friendly staff.

The property is conveniently located on the sea front with on street reserved parking. The outdoor swimming pool was great. The property can do with a bit of care as the building and the indoor pool look a bit tired.

We had a superior sea view room and the view was stunning! The hotel is situated on the sea front just a short walk from the Medina. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were very polite and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

United KingdomI thought the hotel rooms were a bit tired - we had two, and one of them smelled of stale smoke. The showers didn't drain properly so you could be standing in a pool of water. The small outdoor pool was filthy! Something seemed broken there and nobody bothered to fix it.
Rooms were nice, especially the view. Breakfast was also quite good. Nice facilities overall, indoor and outdoor pool, etc.

Canada- The hot water in the shower didn't work properly. It would go from boiling hot to cold by itself. That was a bad way to wake up. - The process to log in to the internet from my laptop was complicated and nobody from reception could help me with that, so I ended up having to go somewhere else to do some work, which was a disappointment. - The billing system was a bit weird. I would have liked for the reception clerk to have been more straightforward about it.
Nice hotel, nice indoor pool. The rooms were quiet, spacious and comfortable. Didn't try the breakfast as we had to leave early. It seemed a bit overpriced for what was offered. Great location in front of the beach and close enough to the Medina while being a bit away from all the activity.

United KingdomFirst ever review and thought it was warranted, given I read many reviews on this resort and wasn't sure myself about booking. The Hotel is a bit dated but you get 5 star service, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Exceptionally well located, sea view was stunning. The hotel beach area is perfect, well staffed comfortable bed/loungers and good food. For what you pay I think overall great hotel.

United StatesNothing to dislike about this property. Perhaps the only inconvenience is the street parking as opposed to a private parking area but spaces are reserved in front of the hotel and security is there 24/7. The Thalasso treatments are pricy but that’s to be expected in a five-star establishment.
I loved the style and architecture of the hotel blending Moorish and Art Deco details as well as more contemporary features. The main restaurant and the U-shaped pool courtyard as well as the Thalasso pool really stood out by their understated elegance. The morning buffet was outstanding and we really liked having access to the relaxing spa pool for one hour. Service was impeccable. And finally the location across the beach promenade and a short walk to the médina is superb.
