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 KingdomThe restaurant Manager was a bit cold and didn't greet us the first couple of days. We complaint about her behaviour to the local staff that apologies on her behalf The following days she was finally greeting us. The food at the restaurant was good for European standards. I wish they would propose in their menu a couple of local dishes to be more authentic.
The location is very good, by the beach and close to banks, shops and market. It was very easy to find a boat to go to Ngor Island. The local staff is adorable and so helpful if you need to book a taxi or find shops around. They are super friendly, caring and welcoming.

AustraliaNone of the staff at reception were friendly and everyday was given a very half hearted greeting and a scowl.
The location is great, right on the beach with a view of Ngor Island and it was very pleasant. The restaurant was good, food was tasty and well prepared. The pool and pool area is nice and the bar and wait staff were friendly and helpful. The room was pleasant and had all the basics you need. The bed was comfortable and the airconditioning worked. The cleaning lady was very nice and left bug spray for me to combat the mosquitoes. The windows all had flyscreens on them which was good. Well stocked mini bar was appreciated.

United StatesOctober is hottest month and the AC wasn’t cold enough at all. A fan would have been preferable but not available. Almost bought one.
Location great. I was on the street side but couldn’t hear any noise as someone else had complained of. Often taxis nearby. Views of the bay and Ngor island. Great meals on the property but also enjoyed restaurants nearby.

United StatesMy only disappointment was that the room could have better furniture and needs an upgrade, like the lobby area which has beautiful decor. Second thing is the price per night could have included breakfast.
The location of this property is perfect, we enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waves. The breakfast was very tasty, having direct access to the beach was also awesome. the staff was amazing. Nice place to stay, would stay again.

United StatesThe beach was too crowded with local's tents and vendors. They hounded you to buy things constantly. Beach was not a good experience. It was loud at night because the locals parties all thru the night until morning. The restaurant was expensive and the food wasn't very good. staff told me the beach isn't safe at night. Don't expect a relaxing beach vacation. My room wasn't cleaned every day. I had to go to the desk for toilet paper and towels. I was speaking to the Desk man, and a white family came in, and he immediately went to help them and told me to wait, even though he was in the middle of helping me. It was insulating. I was a hotel guest and made to feel second class and unimportant. On a separate day, I had to take the trash out of my room because it hadn't been cleaned. The girl at the desk told me to take it outside to the garbage. I really thought they would have taken it out, considering my room should have been cleaned. I tried to check out 2 days early. I was made to stay another day.
The hotel is beautiful. The views from the balcony were exceptional. The sunsets are amazing. The room was nice and big. The boat to the island is a short distance down the beach. Most of the staff were amazing and kind. Especially Amy in the restaurant.

NigeriaI didn't enjoy the food. It tasted very basic and un-inviting.
My stay here was short. The hotel is located in a small area in Ngor. I loved that it faced the beach so I could take walks by the water. The locals were accommodating and the area is safe. You can take walks around the streets if you desire. There's a gym outside of the property if you're looking to workout.
