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 KingdomRooms need some modernisation/renovation. They did not give us Ocean view room as they said Booking.com and their booking system had miscommunicated & overbooked. However they did upgrade us to all inclusive as compensation but not very satisfactory as we had booked 4 months in advance.
Stunning views from the hotel. The staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful. The hotel made sure that Xmas Eve and Xmas day were special. The large infinity swimming pool was a bonus as swimming in the sea is very dependent on the tides and the coral reef

United StatesI was pleased with it all. There is a long bumpy road leading to the resort but do not be deterred by that. When you get there it is well worth the wait.
It was a lovely resort. 2 pools, amazing expansive views, accommodating staff, food was good. Was tranquil and a really nice experience. The rooms were clean and air conditioned and most importantly we didn't have any insects in our rooms at all! They also have activities on at nights and there was a white party on our first night which had lots of singing and dancing on the beach- a lot of fun.

Kenyathe fact that they do not have wifi in some of the rooms which is okay but then when you cannot access internet data in the very same rooms with local SIM cards? that’s very unsafe. what if there is an emergency. this is one of the reasons we won’t be going back to this property. another thing, the property should mention they charge a tourist tax of 1 dollar per day outside the normal room rate. finally, its okay to charge the usual 5% tax on debit or credit cards but when the property insists on using a very high different currency exchange rate as opposed to paying in cash knowing very well you cannot walk around with alarge sum of liquid cash around is highly unprofessional. the current exchange rate when i stayed there was 2306 to a dollar but they wanted us to pay with 2350 using card. we did not accept. The above should be mentioned after booking so that people can be prepared mentally
it’s a great property in the heart of Michamvi.

I believe the heart of this place are the people running this hotel. They were some minor hickups but always solved quickly and kindly. We never experienced such a special compensation from the hotel management, thank you for the perfect dinner & suprise. Actually we have enjoyed all meals as well.

United Arab EmiratesThe food was a bit bland and boring but edible. The bottles of wine where filled from box wines which is not an issue but then they should not give the impression it is from a bottle.
Staff were very friendly. Beautiful property. Lovely beach with a bar. Worth a few days visit.

South AfricaThe white bath towels I received were really old and stained. At times, communication with staff at reception was poor, from organizing my airport transfer to getting my luggage sorted. The road leading up to reception is terrible. Once you get off the main road, there's more than 1km drive on gravel with lots of potholes. Worse when it's been raining.
Absolutely beautiful property at great location! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Buffets were good. Loved the variety of activities available on a daily basis. Turn down service was great
