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 StatesThis hotel is so cozy. The outdoor space is so well set up, perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. The property is located in the quieter side of the beach. Which means you won’t have to share the beach with too many people. The staff is wonderful, always attentive to your needs. The hotel does have bikes for you to move around the area. Or will help to arrange other forms of transportation for you.

NetherlandsWhile I like the little shop with clothes (bathing suits, shoes etc), perhaps some brands I saw are not the most sustainable or ethical even tough I understand the need of accessibility price-wise.
Very friendly staff, quiet, comfortable beds, free bike service, beach front! If you are looking for a place just to recharge, this is a great place to go! Wish I could stay longer.

HungaryThe on-site restaurant was closed. The price on Booking was given without taxes. With taxes it was a little bit expensive...
Nice pool. Restaurants, bars, stores are in walking distance. The on-site bar is 24 hours open. Laundry service! Big room, comfortable bed.

NetherlandsWe were recommended by the staff to go and eat next door. We did and thought it was very disappointing. No big deal at first but next day we ordered lunch at hotel and realized (too late) their food comes from next door restaurant. There are plenty of other places around to eat that are good though.
Very relaxed, clean spot right at the beach. Friendly staff. Spacious room with 3 fans, didn't miss AC. Good breakfast and reasonably priced bar. Nice pool.

United KingdomThis is the only place we stayed where they charged for filter water to refill bottles. It is a little father away from the main section of the beach which was a bit busier but if you want the quieter end there are still some restaurants nearby we were often just the only ones there.
Room was very clean and a good size, we went for a room without aircon but it had 3 fans so was still cool. The staff were helpful. There are a couple of sunloungers and direct access to the beach. It is near to a number of restaurants. Good value breakfast each morning.

United StatesThe basics were very expensive for the area. Coffee, water, beer! They could be more eco conscious and have the ten gallon water containers and self serve water glasses with a small increase in the room rate to cover the coat of water. That way they could cut down on plastic trash
Very clean and comfortable and in a fabulous location

United StatesThis has been one of the best stays I've had in a very long time. The facilities are beautiful but what made this place stand out is the staff. Everyone takes so much ownership of the place and go above and beyond to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and relaxed. Whatever I asked for they’re would have a solution or recommendation. I can't say enough if El Belga Loco. Next time I'm in town this is where I'll stay! Highly recommended

United KingdomBeautiful hotel, rooms were very clean and comfortable. Pool is a nice size and great to cool off in the heat. All the team are very friendly and helpful. right on the beach so great access to the sea and lovely spot to watch the sunset. A 15/20 min walk from the busier part of town but I enjoyed that as not far and meant you got to stay in a more peaceful place. they let you hire bikes for free which I thought was lovely.

The staff was so friendly. We felt so welcome and at 'home'. They also helped us with arranging a taxi to our next stop, even during the busy 'Holy week'. The location was perfect. With a walk on the beach you could go to all the other restaurants (when you would like to eat outside) Another fun thing, they named all the rooms to a famous Belgum beers.
