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.).

CanadaThe bathroom and kitchen were dirty. Moho in the fridge and in the bathtub, greasy surfaces in the kitchen.
The pool and easy access to the beach. You don’t need to worry about towels and shelters for the beach, they provide everything.

CanadaNot having daily housekeeping for price we paid. Not being able to keep patio door open because of no screen.
First time staying at Beach Haus Bal Harbour and was a lovely four day experience for my husband and I. We enjoyed our room even though the view was of the entrance/parking lot. The room was spacious & located on the main floor. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean when we arrived. Sliding doors don't have a screen so we would never open it because of little lizards and mosquitos. Having washer/dryer in room was great for drying our towels so we didn't have to have them replaced every day. Loved being able to make breakfast in morning and the coffee maker in room was great asset as well. No daily housekeeping, only at extra cost per day. The staff person at front desk (didn't get her name unfortunately) was very helpful & courteous. We absolutely loved the beach and access to beach chairs & umbrella. Staff on beach were always ready to assist with pleasure as well. Thank you for a pleasant first-time experience, we will definitely be returning to Bal Harbour. 😊

United StatesHad some issues with cleanliness of the rooms that were never resolved. They didn't want to re-clean the floors or balcony for us since we didn't pay for housekeeping. Pool was not heated so it was cold, even though it was a tiny thing. Our kids would have loved to play in it if it was warmer. And for Spring Break this is a big deal.
Location is great if you are wanting to spend time at the beach. Nice area for taking walks as well. About a 12 minute walk to Bal Harbour shops. Rooms are very modern and appealing. Beds are comfy and bathrooms are spacious. TVs in every room as well. They provided extra towels when we requested.

United StatesThere is a pungent scent they use to clean/perfume it that is pretty invasive. It smells like rotten grapes/berries. We got Febreze to minimize it in our room and it was fine, but I would recommend changing scents as it was pretty unpleasant.
The room was pretty clean and had everything we needed for a weekend getaway.

United StatesWe were surprised to have to pay for parking...we did not understand that prior to arrival and felt it was an added expense that was not necessary. There are no restaurants nearby, we had to drive about a mile or so. The hallway could be noisy...we were located on the first floor near the entrance.
The room was spacious, clean..but we looked out over a spot of dirt and up to a highway and a high-rise apartment building and if I recall properly, it was described as city view. We had a studio.. the kitchen was large and was beyond our expectations..bathroom was very small and in ok condition ( towels and washcloths were luxurious).. bedroom was very large with a desk...wifi was slow. Bed was comfortable, but pillows were not. The room was immaculate. There is a lovely well maintained pool area, chairs overlooking the inlet and a very nice walkway to the beach, which was not more than 5 minutes... available for us was 2 chairs and umbrella...we did not use, but it was nice to know that we could. We would stay there again.

CanadaThere’s nothing we can complain about except that front entrance was accessible to all which made us feel a bit unsafe in the beginning since our room was close to front entrance. Other family members and friends were in the next building which required a passcode and more secure. Just wished we were in same building.
The beach was close by, neighborhood was very safe and quiet. Other hotel guests were quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

CanadaWe used the bikes at the hotel to ride on the board walk. The bikes were absolutely terrible, poorly maintained, too heavy, would have been much better to rent the public city bikes. the resort should invest in better quality to match the quality of the hotel.
Location close to the beach, but not on the beach, so overall ok.

EstoniaBe aware that the reception is only available at certain hours and it is practically impossible to reach anybody off hours (you are being directed to messenger service that are absolutely unrelated to hotel management). Housekeeping service is very inaccurate - they forget to put towels and through the trash away (onlce they left the trash bag next to the door)
Excellent location, spacious rooms, parking at spot, recently renovated rooms in one of two buildings.
