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.).

BelgiumIf you stay in t the hotel in the evening, not many things to do.
Amazing. My kids and I had an amazing stay in the hotel. The swimming pools, the access to the beach, the sauna, the rooms, all of that made our stay really great.

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.

ItalyThis is not a critic, but just a couple of things to be careful about. There’s a funny smell coming from the drainage in the toilets, but at least that was the case in our bedroom maybe not in every single room. I would advise to the staff of the spa, to pay a little more attention to the quality of the cleaning in the sauna and Turkish bath.
Is the second time we stay in this structure and as always, we get astonished by the special treatment from the staff and the facilities. The fact that you can go to the spa and enjoy the internal pool with your son is priceless. The quality of the breakfast is incredible. Definitely looking forward to stay there for the third time!

United KingdomI had a lovely time at Raddison Blu Golden Sands. The facilities were amazing and the staff were lovely. Access to the beach and loads of water activities alongside indoor activities. I would especially like to thank Daniel the night manager. I had an especially late checkin and he was lovely and accommodating. Even providing a detailed tour. I’d also like to thank Henri the hostess during the breakfast buffet. So welcoming and charming. Lovely hotel to book with your family, relaxing and enjoyable, I would definitely recommend.
