Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IsraelRooms are old, air conditione and refrigerator was noisy, alot of mosquitoes due to swampy little water pools along the resort, i honestly thinks that with a little investment and renovation it can be an amazing experience.
Location is great, the resort is wide and beautiful, staff was very nice, especially the pool and reception staff

IndiaThe rooms (cabins) were really small. They have mentioned the sizes online, however its only after going there that we realise how tiny the rooms really are. The property owners can't really help it, but there were too many loud people staying there. Loud families with older and younger people - always spoil the mood. The restaurant at the venue needs a big upgrade - it had just been taken over by the couple we met, hoping they can turn the place around.
The location right on the beach was really good. The staff, specially Krishna on the front desk, were wonderful. They were really helpful and clear with all their communication.

IndiaThe food from the restaurant was quite disappointing. At dinner time everything was very spicy, even masala buttermilk! Continental food was dry and tasteless, buttermilk was like lassi. The room service was very slow and would take almost an hour even for coffee or a bottle of water. The partial sea view rooms are right next to the restaurant which plays music until 12am. It was not too loud with the doors closed but if you are a light sleeper, then avoid it-pick garden view or executive rooms instead. The stay is quite good and acceptable, clean. My complaints that follow are minor and come based on the price they charge- almost 4-5k- off-season, which in my opinion is not worth the quality. I would say the quality and services match with 3 stars or lower. The rooms were not cleaned every day during the stay and we didn't opt-out of this service. The bathrooms of the wooden cottages had no separation between the dry and wet areas, and insufficient space to keep toiletries or hang towels/ clothes. The room size is a bit small and the lighting was dull. A few of the claims that they take significant steps to be more sustainable but some are are untrue - they DO use single-use plastic water bottles and do NOT have double glazed windows, in fact, the doors had a slight gap which wastes energy. The room is not so well insulated- the room would get warm in just 1-2 hours. This means that the AC consumes more energy than it needs to, therefore, not so environmentally friendly. They serve plastic straws, and room service food covered with plastic wrap. Maintain a very green lawn which requires a lot of freshwater. These are basic steps that a sustainably conscious establishment should not do. I write this in the hope that they prioritize sustainability and take steps to improve it.
It was nice there was a pool, a bit too much chlorine for my liking. The rooms and the landscape is well done. the AC kept the rooms very comfortable. the beds, sheets towels were very good. it is right at the beach. they gave bottles of water every day for free. there is a big parking lot. The staff was polite and nice. No complaints about the Wifi.

IndiaWe stayed at the wooden chalets and unfortunately they did not have the acs turned on despite knowing that guests were checking in - it was like walking straight into a sauna from a long tiring trip - not exactly the kind of feeling one likes to get first thing on a holiday. Took us a good 20 mins to air out the room completely with the windows fully open and ac on full blast, before we could actually sit inside. Our room in particular had the exhaust installed the wrong way I think because it would suck in unpleasant smells from outside when switched on rather than ventilate the bathroom. Also, considering the peak dates of our stay, every single member of staff was on a mission to chuck us out as early as possible on the day of our checkout, rather than be a lil more accomodating to basic requests.
The location was pretty good, the beach access was welcome (although the beach itself was a tad bit crowded considering the peak season).

India1.) Cleanthiness 2.) Almost Zero room service 3.) No coordination between hotel and the restaurant, makes it worse for the traveller
The location was the main attraction. And Prakash the front desk was sweet. He understood the issue, but couldn’t do anything about it, there might be something really wrong with the management team.
