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.).

LithuaniaBreakfast was a bit bland and coffee was really not tasting like real coffee (we kept stopping on the way to have some coffee after each breakfast)
The hotel was pretty new with nice rooms with big terraces overlooking the ocean. Indoor SPA was nice and empty. Outside pool and natural one with waves from the ocean.

LithuaniaBar plays music until 24:00, not loud, but it can be heard in the terrace and when windows are open. Depending on wind conditions smells from the restaurant are felt in the terrace.
Big apartment and private terrace. Good restaurant. 3 swimming pools.

IrelandSauna wasn’t working, cleaning could be done little bit better but overall it was quite clean. Air conditioner wasn’t working in our room and also nobody came to fix, but again it wasn’t a big issue because temperature wasn’t too warm.
New Hotel, with very friendly staff, good kitchen a big parking space and very beautiful spot. In general you have everything what you need. Our room was very spacious, bright. it has a fully equipped kitchen. You can use it if you want. It is two outdoor pools, one inside pool with “bubbling” place. There’s sauna, but at our stay wasn’t working. Nobody came to fix 🥲

PolandClean and nice room with beautiful view on the Ocean. The bed was comfortable and air conditioning was quiet and working well. Both pools (inside and outside are great), and there is also sauna. The staff is really friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was simple but tasty with plenty to choose from. I definately recommend checking the hotel restaurant for dinner as it was the best Maderian food on our holiday, and the serving was huge! Overall it was best hotel of our trip (and we stayed in 4 different ones).

United StatesWe were disappointed in the breakfast at Hotel Calamar, very standard motel breakfast. I would add at least some oatmeal and different nuts/seeds/dried fruit for a basic muesli. Also would be important to add non-dairy milk for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan. Also the only downside in our room was we were right next to the dining area, so one of our bedroom windows overlooked the restaurant so we couldn't open it or leave the curtains open. But again, I would 100% stay here in the future just for the location right on the water and overall wonderful stay.
We had a great stay in Sao Vincente and Hotel Calamar... I mean the ocean rock pool at the hotel is enough for me to give it an excellent rating! The views from the hotel are just incredible and the pools seem very well maintained. They are the star of the hotel for sure. We loved our two bedroom room, it was super spacious for the four of us and the balcony was insane!! So huge and overlooked the pool area. We loved walking out there and taking in the views. We found the staff at Hotel Calamar to be very friendly and helpful, and the general area was nice to stay in for a couple days. I highly recommend checking out Porto Moniz while there and the Seixo black sand beach!

EstoniaUnfortunately, the bank terminal did not work for the entire stay. We tried credit and debit cards, both master card and visa, tried many time for a few consecutive day . This was the only place on the island for nearly 2 weeks our bank cards did not work. We had to go to a little town next to the hotel to withdraw some cash and the exchange rate was very poor (the pounds were cheaper than euros).
Nice views from the hotel, pretty good breakfast. The room was nice and clean, air con was amazing. We also liked the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi.
