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 KingdomWe couldn't swim in the water in the morning because there was so much rubbish floating around. I understand this is from a nearby village but it's the responsibility of the hotel to keep the area clean for guests - we spent over an hour filling a black bag with plastic rubbish. Really ruined our final morning there and very sad to see hotel staff not taking more action against this pollution.
The setting was beautiful and the room was clean. We loved watching the sunset from our private balcony. The food was basic but fine.

CanadaThe location and views are amazing, but the resort itself needs work done. It’s old and looks a little run down. My bed was comfortable and clean, but the bathroom wasn’t the greatest. My toilet didn’t work. I told reception about it, but I don’t know if it was the language barrier, but nothing was done. The food wasn’t good either. Overall, I don’t regret booking this stay and I made the best out of it, but it’s a budget stay
The views are exceptional at this resort. The water is just clear and so beautiful. The island hopping tour was also a lot of fun and I highly recommend doing them. The staff is also really sweet.

SingaporeThe resort, in general, was very rundown. No TV, aircon, or fridge, and the Wifi had intermittent signals. The walkways were made of planks, which can be hazardous due to protruding nails and splinters. Sometimes, we had low pressure running water. As such, we had to fill the plastic pail provided with water for our showers. Breakfast, lunch, tea breaks, and dinner tasted average. Travellers may want to stock up with their own food if they are picky eaters.
You can literally jump off from your balcony into the crystal clear sea. Picturesque view from your balcony, which is Instagram-worthy. They had warm and helpful staff. It is one of the best snorkelling places in Malaysia. My children love the snorkelling activities, especially during low tides.

MalaysiaI didnt see like a lot a lot of fish or marine life. There were some....but the waves were quite strong for snorkelling. But they do provide life jackets and snorkelling equipment I can see they dont cater much to vegetarians though. I saw a poor soul having rice and vege only.
It was an ok stay, the views are nice and there are fishes around the chalets. Water is very very clear and the food is good - they served crab and fish for dinner.

MalaysiaMultiple things: - the food was really limited choice and there are no drinks, other than coffee, water and very sweet juice . - each evening we faced a karaoke session. Local people shouting in a microphone. Our daughters were not able to sleep. - staff, with exception of a few, do not speak English, it was difficult to communicate. - rooms are small and no airco - the tours are overpriced, unfortunately you don't have a choice.... - the transfer via boat from semporna is overpriced. - we saw quite some dirt and plastic in the water.
The clear water, it was great to go for snorkling from the resort

MalaysiaThe toilet could be better maintained. The toilet bowl flap is missing. The shower on/off was stuck. Sometimes the water pressure is very low. The problems were not solved after complain done. There is no hot water. The karaoke is just too loud and went on till after midnight. People come here to rest not listen to loud singing.
It is built right above water. Beautiful views of the sea and nearby islands. The staff was very friendly and helpful in arranging for our snorkelling trips and booking for seafood like lobster. Ptayer mats are provided.
