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.).

CanadaIf you stay two nights, they don’t refresh towels or do anything to the room. They also don’t tell you this.
Quiet. Calm little beach. Good parking lot.

United StatesThe restaurant was bit too pricey for what you got. $85.00 for a simple buffet... that is a rip off. We decided not to do it as the restaurants right out the door had much better food at 1/4 the price.
Fantastic room overlooking the beach, dock, tourist shops, luau, boats, just so cool

SlovakiaOn Boolking.com we reserved hotel for 2 adults and child with breakfast (it only said with breakfast so assumption was that breakfast is available for everyone). Hotel has different policy for children, but they adjusted reservation on their side and honored how it was advertised on Booking.com
Hotel has excellent location, next to the pier form where many boat tours are departing. Staff was friendly and all issues were quickly resolved. Breakfast was decent.

United StatesI did not like booking on Priceline website and being sold second hand to Booking.com. I have never used Booking.com and after this post pay fiasco I probably never will. Super dissatisfied with how the reservation was handled and then being told it was the other companies fault. If I had known we were paying full rate postpay I would have booked with the hotel and gotten my points. Booking.com stinx.

United KingdomVery "conference hotel" like with little to no character. Also booked a sea view room and initially got a view over the car park. Staff did change our room after complaining. Over priced in my opinion
Hotel was clean, food good and the location outstanding.

United StatesThere was an old sock left in room from previous guest near the TV stand. There was no shower gel in bathroom to shower with - had to call for replacement. AND lastly when going to use the Coffee machine - there was and old cup of used coffee there that was not cleaned or removed.
Location, grounds, friendly and very helpful staff. Also accommodating by bringing a roll out bed since it was 3 coworkers staying in the same room.

United StatesView wasnt as stated. Cleaning room was every other day forcing us to retrieve supplies daily and call to have garbage emptied.
The reef out in the back of the property was full of fish and a nice sandy bottom. Probably the nicest snorkeling experience we had on island…and we had paid for boats to take us out. The staff was SO FRIENDLY…everyone said hello and was there to help. The view was not as advertised though. We made up for it by being on the go the whole week, but beware the listing for “ocean view” on booking.com it actually had view of the parking lot and a sliver of the lagoon. Save money and buy “garden view”. As hotels go though..this one wins for the amazing sandy beach right on the property!!!
