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.).

SwitzerlandIt might be time to renovate the rooms, especially bathrooms.
Despite being build in the 1980s, the hotel and especially the grounds are spectacular. One of the most beautiful infinity pools... Excellent service with super friendly personnel. Exceptional breakfast with a great variety of food.

Saudi ArabiaThe crows! The birds are a big problem, coming right up to tables and taking food and even eating the top of my husbands burger through the lid poolside. It was the only highly irritating thing about the property.

United KingdomIt was a faboulous place and well frequented by families - in fact I think that for a family stay it is better suited than for an intimate stay as a couple. in the evening though a more atmospheric quieter place for a couple
Staff at reception were excellent! We only had one night and they upgraded our room which was superb but they also ensured that we could meet all our needs in the short time we had available to enjoy the facilities in lss than one day left of the holiday.

SwitzerlandThe pillows on the sun beds were soaked in water and each time we sat down on them we would get totally wet. I was a bit disappointed by some staff (not all!) at the breakfast restaurant: it felt like asking for anything was bothering them. After 9:30am the breakfast buffet is left untidy and half empty.
The building is very iconic and although the rooms start to be very dated, they are kept rather well. We had two standard connecting rooms and one of them was upgraded to a junior suite, allowing us to have plenty of space with our baby. Staff at the reception and the concierge were attentive, helpful and friendly. The resort has a magnificent and vast garden: plenty of well managed greenery. The spa is unique and an absolute must try. We enjoyed dinner each evening at the pavilion, by the beach. Food was good and staff very friendly.

United KingdomThe hotel is big and communication wasn’t amazing. The WhatsApp service wasn’t always responsive and we were given incorrect times after booking a boat trip and we were expecting the cost to go on the room but when we arrived we were expected to pay then directly: all okay just would have been nice to be told. Rooms are clean but not spacious.
The pool and the gym / padel tennis facilities were great and easy to book.

United Arab EmiratesYou pay for a basic room that amount of money but you don’t get to have the breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay but really the prices-specially the alcohol was overpriced. And as I highlighted, we were ok to pay for the accommodation but the cost of the stay already expensive why not include the breakfast in this price and charge separately!!! It’s sad!
It’s an amazing location, so calm and silent.
