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 KingdomAlthough it was nice, I think it was lacking the 5* hotel feel in some areas - pool bar service was slow, there was no freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast, decor is a bit tired in places, the private beach could be cleaner (there were pieces of plastic all over the shore).
The hotel is clean, the facilities are nice and clean, the buffet breakfast and dinner offer good variety, plenty of sun loungers available by the pool and in the private beach, staff is helpful.

The hotel premises have everything you need to enjoy the stay. Indoor and outdoor swim pools together with spa and gym are right at your disposal. Rich variety of foods and vegetables offered to the breakfast.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing! This place is as perfect as it gets in our experience! We are already planning to return in the Fall.
This Radisson Blu Resort is incredible. Everything during our stay was perfect! The staff is super professional and friendly! Our room was very nice. We had a small kitchen, just perfect for chilling soda and re-heating leftovers or cooking a meal. Breakfast was hard to believe, easily over 100 choices, included in your room price! The Deli store, where you can buy snacks, frozen pizza, sandwich supplies, drinks was very handy and the prices were great! The views from the pool were spectacular. The private beach was sandy and the water was so clear! The restaurants were very good and the prices were an excellent value. I can't say enough about how great our stay was!

United KingdomThe only thing i didn’t like was how the Maltese managers treat the staff. I’ve seen this appalling behaviour at many establishments in Malta & Gozo now & its v shocking & disappointing to see & hear how they exploit & treat the people working for them. Please tip staff DIRECT also & to their hand or they wont be allowed to keep it. 🙏 Maltese - please think about updating your behaviour towards your workers, it puts a bad name in Raddison’s.
Was a beautiful, relaxing stay, with friendly helpful staff, will definitely return.

United KingdomNothing much to criticise: Breakfast opened at little later in my opinion, during peak seasons I think parking would be a nightmare as there wasn't many spaces. Anyone booking should be aware that there isn't much in the area surround the hotel.
I loved the room which has many facilities. Good variety of choices of dinner within the hotel. I ordered at the restaurant and took it back to the room, food was very nice and of a good quality. Check-in was easy and staff were very good and explained everything. Checkout was easy too. This stay exceeded my expectations and i would considering coming back again.

MaltaThe staff were all welcoming and helpful. Our room was very clean and so was the rest of the hotel, even the outside dining areas. As we were there celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, we were also offered a cake and made especially for his dietry requirements. We had room service, food was good and dined at the Agliolio Restaurant were the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. A stay I would definitely recommend.

EstoniaIts a huge hotel outside the city. Surrounding nature makes it perfect if you prefer tranquility and relaxation. This complex has everything ….. pools, spa treatments, saunas, shops and restaurants. Indian restaurant had superb tastes. Rooms were nicely decorated and well equipped …… minibar, ironing table, slippers, cupps & glasses were all there. Also bed and pillows were extra comfy. We truly enjoyed our stay.

PolandThe only thing to mention is the Italian restaurant- the food is rather good (with exceptions, absolutely dreadful risotto), but the stuff, or maybe rather some waiters seem to be almost upset they have to work there. A jarring difference from the rest of the hotel stuff, who, once again, are wonderful people through and through.
Wonderful localisation in the middle of nothing where you can walk and walk for miles. The hotel itself is big, but not overcrowded. Our room was spacious and comfortable with an outstanding view from the balcony. The stuff (mostly, but we'll get to that) helpful and attentive. Breakfast desrve a special shout out. Everything one can need yet without that feeling of wastefulness you get in some big resorts. Wonderful omelets. Also, the stuff at breakfast absolutely polite and welcoming, making every day a bit brighter for the guests (I sadly don't remember the name of the older gentleman welcoming people at the door, but he was an absolute joy to talk to)

HungaryThere is no kids/baby swing in the playground. The kids room is hardly open and not much for the kids to do other than the beach and those couple hours of kids clubs. You can hear other toilets flushing in the bathroom which was slightly disturbing.
The staff were particularly amazing and the beach was lovely. The room was quiet at night and comfortable. The staff helped us a lot and were really top notch.

MaltaOne aspect that I found disappointing was the inconsistency in enforcing the rule regarding the indoor pool's designated adults-only time between 13:00 and 16:00. Despite this policy, on a Saturday afternoon around 14:00, there were still families with children present, causing noise disturbances by shouting and screaming, and even jumping in the pool and hot tub. It was only after some guests expressed their concerns at the spa that a member of the staff intervened. Consistency in enforcing rules, such as the adults-only time and the prohibition on jumping/diving during other hours, seemed lacking.
The breakfast at Radisson Golden Sands was excellent with a wide array of choices available. The room was also clean and equipped with all necessary amenities. The staff were attentive and accommodating, providing helpful assistance throughout our stay.
