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.).

RomaniaThe rooms are not well insulated. The entrance doors to the room are not perfectly sealed, they have space at the bottom, and the corridors of the hotel are paved with stone/tile so that all the noises are heard in the room amplified (e.g. like the rattling of dishes or the rolling of the wheels of the carts used in the room services). You can always hear the footsteps of children running in the hallways, doors slamming late at night or early in the morning. These things are very disturbing.
Room overlooking the pool, big enough, daily cleaning. The minibar is refilled daily, the staff are kind and helpful. The very comfortable mattress ensured a restful sleep. Absolutely delicious and varied breakfast. Anyone could find something they liked. The other meals were also very rich in vegetables, meats, salads and divine desserts.

BelgiumIt was very dark in the residence , hotel and outside to walk around in the resort. Very dangerous to walk from the residence to the restaurant when it's dark. There was one heated pool outside but januari is a bit cold to swim :-). The prices are high. The WIFI is not suitable to do a workcation. We had to ask the housekeeping to put clean glases for the minibar that they forgot every day.
Food was very good. The location and garden is very nice. Umbrella service at the reception . The staff at the reception is very kind and helpfull. The hotel has very nice furniture and looks like discribed on the internet.

SwitzerlandStill to be improved: - Towel stand at the beach still open just till 10:30. Not enough clean towels for all guests during the day. This point can be easily fixed. - Bugs in the Barut Hotel App. Password reset requires manual intervention. Kindly automatize, or drop password log in altogether: room number, birth date and email address should be sufficient for identification. - Overall wine quality on the wine lists. Go for Castellani Chianti for the reds and Chenin Blanc from South Africa for the whites.
Third time visit to Barut Hemera. Comfortable, green territory. Professional reception and guest relation support. Realiable transfer arrangements to/from Antalya airport. Wonderful food quality at the buffet. Nice thematic restaurants. Clean beach. Tennis court, yoga classes for the guests. Appreciate enhancements after feedback from visitors: + Warmer water in the indoor pool now: some 26C instead of 24C. + Priority à la carte restaurant reservation for loyal guests.

IraqThe open hallways posed a chilly challenge, since it is all-season hotel will be goot to have closed or be air-conditioned for better and more convinient movements especially for babies. Also, while the poolside activities and fireplace were enjoyable, a more diverse range of activities, and also the heated pool was still cold for me the indoor and outdoor ones, I believe it can be better in terms of increasing the temperature.
My family and I enjoyed a delightful stay. The serene ambiance, coupled with a warm and respectful staff, created a welcoming atmosphere. The resort's team, embodying Maldives-level hospitality, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight undoubtedly was the outstanding food—fresh, diverse, and with a special nod to their thoughtful provision of baby food. Christmas and New Year festivities added a festive touch, complete with generous gifts. The poolside activities and fireplace were enjoyable. In summary, our family is immensely pleased with our stay, and we look forward to returning in the future. The positive experience, combined with reasonable pricing, makes this resort a standout choice. Kudos to the team for making our holiday truly special.

SwitzerlandThe quality of the white wine at the buffet and the thematic restaurants was ok/good: e.g., the South African one: Chamelion chenin blanc. Red and rose wine at the buffet and the red wines deposited as gifts in the room are unfortunately of poor quality. This is a point that may easily be improved: either through using imported wines or Turkish wines of higher quality. Red wine choice on the à la carte wine did not meet our taste; in particular the Jaffeline pinot noir from France really disappointed with the EUR 40 per bottle. Would have liked seeing at least one fish dish on the menu at the Sofra Turkish restaurant. Service level at the main pool bar requires improvement: guests sitting close to the burger corner/sushi cafe are frequently overlooked. Omelette offering at the buffet is very good. Would have liked shrimps as one of the ingredient options. Boiled eggs 3 min at the buffet are overcooked. Perhaps offer them upon individual order? Would have preferred evening concert music to end earlier, e.g. at 22:00 - for the guests to be able to go to sleep early.
Location right behind the sea and 40 min walk or a 5 min taxi ride to the Side old town. Moderate size hotel, max 4-5 storey buildings. Lots of vegetation providing enough shade throughout the day. Comfortable rooms and facilities. Very good food offering: both buffet and thematic restaurants. Yoga and tennis. Support with transfer from/to Antalya airport or shopping facilities nearby.
