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.).

LuxembourgFood wasn‘t so amazing, as it was very often cold. For Lunch, there weren‘t so many choices to pick and as the warm food was always cold - that was a bit disappointing.
We liked the cosy atmosphere, good location to visit the national parc etc. Good location for those who would like to learn to surf or scuba dive

Germany- Local beach is not really a beach to enjoy. Lots of local people come to enjoy themselves over the weekend and the water is not as clear as in the other beaches. However, super nice beach Flic en Flac is around the corner. - You have to have a car or be aware that you need to use a taxi service if you want to see around. Theres nothing in the walking distance. However taxis are waiting right in front of the hotel, so shouldnt be a problem. Just make sure to have some cash with you.
- Hotel offers a lot of activities - You can get to the nature (hiking, other tours, beaches) very easily - The food was great, a lot of different dishes. Def recommend taking breakfast and dinner (there are no other restaurants around and the buffee has different meals every evening) - Every evening there was live music until 21:00 so super nice and also not disturbing the sleeptime

United KingdomThe excursions were often cancelled for ‘weather’ even though there was only so much as a light breeze. I feel that the buffet would get a little repetitive for anyone staying a week or more. Gym can only fit 2-3 people in a time.
The rooftop pool was a bonus feature and used it often for quiet sunbathing and to take in the stunning sea and mountain views. The room had everything i needed (kettle,fridge, balcony) to spend time in it, and was nicely decorated with a relaxed holiday feel. Like most hotels the drinks are marked up in price but you can buy beer and snacks from the shops near the hotel. Make the most of free classes like aquafit, yoga and kayaking the tamarin river.

NetherlandsThe public beach in front is not usable due to currents and garbage. We had several occasions where the locals party until we'll after midnight with very very very loud music and subwoofers... Security was desperate and understanding but only the police can act... And they are not the fastest (or even solving the problem when they arrive)
The staff is super friendly and assisting. The resort is small in size and that the service absolutely more "personal". Plenty of space to eat drink and relax. The buffet is limited in choice but great in quality and presentation. Meat, fish and vegetarian is enough represented and was never disappointed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Plenty of entertainment and sports to do (or to ignore).

LiechtensteinThe food is lacking alternatives for veggies and vegan. For a hotel in that class I would expect plant milk and more food alternatives at the buffet for vegans.
The stuff is amazing and made the stay really great. The food has an overall good quality. A bit high priced for the value in my opinion.

HungaryIt is important to note that two cyclones affected the island during our stay. Of course, this is not the hotel's fault, but it did impact both their operations and our experience in several ways. I am certain that many of these issues would not have arisen under ideal weather conditions: - Due to the curfew, only the hotel services are available (also limited) and these services tend to be much more expensive than the average (for example, the restaurant). - In such weather conditions, many activities take time to restart, and until then there are not too many options in the area. - While it is understandable that such situations pose challenges for the hotel, as a guest, I did not feel that they were putting forth their best effort during a time when tourists may feel way more confused or vulnerable.
Breakfast was great. The beach must have been nice but we saw it after a cyclone, so we could not see it at its best. The bed was comfy. The à la carte restaurant had some amazing food. The Experience group was really helpful and nice and they offer amaizing activites. The front desk and wait staff were usually very helpful. I asked for help to get a cake for my husband's birthday, and they offered to provide one for free for the occasion. It was really nice.
