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 hotel was situated in one of the most beautiful locations we ever stayed in, we genuinely couldn’t take our eyes off it. Hotel is super clean and decorated beautifully, staff are lovely and very attentive. Rooms were super comfortable, again super nice touches and decorations everywhere and you directly face the sea from the room. Breakfast was amazing as well, make sure you don’t miss it. Hope we get a chance to return in the future :)

FranceJapanese restaurant was too expensive for the quality of the dishes. We ordered the fixed menu and it was not good. We stayed 3 nights and when we asked for more water, which is offered, a guy from the reception told us that we already got too many and if we want more we should go to the city to buy it. It is unacceptable since they give small water bottles and it’s hot, we went for a run and used the gym.
Exceptional views from the 2 pools. The rooms are very nice decorated. The location is great far from noises.

SlovakiaHowever to by a 5* hotel there is still something to improve on. Staff were not that friendly and welcoming. We had some issues with room, but when we have called the reception, they were not willing to help. If this would improve, it would be even better. And we missed sun beds on the beach.
This Place is a peaceful heaven. We visited this hotel in April and the hotel was not that busy. The hotel has so many amazing places where you can relax and have some time for yourself. Also very good for couples even families. Our room was huge, clean, well designed with balcony and amazing views. This was one of the best stays ever, and we travel a lot so I can compare.

AustraliaThe stairs leading from outside down to the pool area are poorly lit at night. The stairs are a black colour which doesn’t help. Recovering from a sprained foot at the age of 67 I felt really uncomfortable going down these stairs at night. There should be a strip of highly reflective material that runs the length of the step. Going up the stairs at night was fine as the lighting from above shone down. The front doors of the hotel are large and heavy and not always (as in other hotels) was a bell boy or someone there to open the doors.
I loved the pools and the view from our room. The service was efficient and welcoming. The restaurants have lovely food and the breakfasts were fantastic.

United KingdomThe water in the shower in our room did not drain out properly, leaving a huge puddle of water across the floor on slippery tiles. It's dangerous! It is a design fault as the floor slopes away from the shower drain not towards it. Other than the guy who opens the door for you, the rest of the staff were not friendly. The restaurant is over priced. It's still worth it for the view from the room and the roof top, which were amazing.
Fabulous room. Wow what a view! Very clean. You can get an electric cart into town if you walk to the end of the hotels drive at a very reasonable cost.

GermanyFor a 5 stars hotel we were expecting a minimum of standards when it comes to offered cruises in Lan Ha bay. Please, avoid going on The sunset cruise. The quality of the cruise and the boat was really bad, and it was more expensive than elsewhere because it was arranged through the hotel.
A very nice hotel, with a very good location.

United KingdomI recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The view from my room was absolutely breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista that truly enhanced my stay. Situated in a prime location, it was incredibly convenient to explore the surrounding area, with numerous restaurants and amenities just a short stroll away. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, and throughout my stay, they went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their dedication to making my experience memorable was truly commendable. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to a picturesque walking area further added to its charm. Taking in the stunning scenery while enjoying a leisurely stroll was the perfect way to unwind and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Whether you're seeking a relaxing getaway or simply want to soak in the beauty of the locale, this establishment offers everything you could possibly desire. I will definitely revisit this hotel again in the near future. Also special thanks to Tuan Tu at the restaurant.

United KingdomA couple of minor points - the swimming pool water wasn't heated, including the jacuzzi - it would have been a really nice touch to have a heated pool.
We thoroughly enjoyed a few days on Cat Ba island, staying in this luxurious hotel. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, and we really enjoyed the evening restaurants too, particularly the Japanese restaurant. The swimming pool areas were also very nice including the swim-up bar.

United KingdomThe staff could not speak English very well which lead to some frustrating moments. While the breakfast was excelent the food at the indochina and akoya restaurants was relatively basic and clearly below what should be expected from a 5* hotel. Despite best efforts the akoya restaurant kitchen felt understaffed and we had to order hours in advance (when we booked)to avoid long waiting times.
Amazing location. Great architecture and interior design. The breakfast was great. Excelent level of comfort. Great spa floor and excelent massage.

CanadaPool area could have used more loungers (however there wasn’t a ton of space so don’t know if that’s really possible). Did not really like that they were cushions - if someone was wet on them before us it took a while to dry. The pool area was very nice though!
The decor and color scheme in the hotel was very appealing. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Tuan Tu especially made us feel welcome. The location is slightly away from the hustle of the town which was nice. The views from the balcony were breathtaking! And the breakfast and a la Carte menu were great.
