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.).

CanadaPoopy smell in the room on the first day. Breakfast was average; typical continental buffet, eggs were extra, and ridiculously expensive (7 euros for two eggs). Fortunately, they gave me gluten free bread, otherwise there was very little, other than fruit, that I could eat from the buffet.
Beautiful beach, though a bit of a walk from our room. Very nice pool, which was shared by only three rooms. Comfortable beds. Nice patio overlooking our pool.

MaltaThey say breakfast is included in the Price. This is a complete Joke. When you say breakfast, you have to mean breakfast. The few items you get are tea cereal, coffee, one cake, some crosounts and another pastry, orange jiuce and water, some fruit, bread and a toaster. NO CHEESE, NO HAM, AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THEY GIVE YOU A MENU WITH PRICES, FOR ANYHING THAT YOU WANT, YOU HAVE TO PAY 7 EUROS FOR AN EGG, OMLETTE, HAM CHEESE ETC. We ended up paying an extra 50 euros a day to have a decent breakfast.
The enviroment of the Hotel is nice. It has aged a bit, but on the whole it was good. No bar on site, just a little shop to but a few essentias.

United StatesCouple of things. During our previous stays we used to go down to Coco Beach a lot. Now they have a $15/per person daily fee for just to get an umbrella and a lounge chair with a mattress. That is ridiculously expensive. We just ended up using the other areas of the beach, like KKO Beach, etc., where we got the same amenities, without the exorbitant fees. We used to love to eat at L'Astrolabe. This time we tried a couple of dinners, but the food was very disappointing.
We have been at Esmeralda a few times before. We love the place, the location is unbeatable, the lodging, organization, service are excellent. We love to have the pool right outside of the back porch. We'll be back again soon!

United StatesRestaurant unavailability. Slight small of sewage.
The check in was helpful and quick. The room was quiet, large, had a minikitchen, good bathroom, and daily maid service. Outside the room there was a small swimming pool with a private balcony for our room. The view from the room was of the pool and beautiful grounds. The beach was a short distance away and was wonderful. The only slight hitch is that their restaurant has a good reputation, but was not available because it was fully booked while we were visiting. However, many other excellent restaurants were within an 5 minute walk.

United StatesThe room has nothing in it. One bed. One table with two chairs. There is no warmth to the room and it echos. If you moved a chair or opened a drawer, the sound was so irritating. The person in the room next us snored and it literally kept us awake. Also, the room keys were ridiculously large and heavy….. they were a pain to carry to the beach
The grounds are very pretty.

GreeceBreakfast is supposedly served 7:30-10:30. We arrived at 09:45, given the tour, seated at a table and given the run through of breakfast. There weren’t any pain au chocolat left on the buffet, and only 3 pain au raisin (all mini size), so my partner asked if they could bring out more. The waitress said she’d check with the chef. We waited for half an hour until nearly closing with no information and no croissants. We then got told after complaining that they only put two loads of chocolate croissants out and that you need to arrive early to breakfast if you’d like them. This is despite us seeing multiple guests be told them can have a takeaway box to load up with croissants when they were leaving, so no wonder there weren’t any left! They do not cater for all guests as we weren’t the last ones to walk in. Overall, the inclusive breakfast was very limited and basic.
Bed was very comfy, reception staff lovely and they had presented a bottle of champagne very nicely which my sister had ordered.
