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...).

United KingdomNeed to check if swimming pool and beach club are open before booking. Road outside is very busy and building work and funfair next door, but not too much of a problem for us.
Good location on seafront. Great feel to the hotel. Lovely, helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Large comfortable room. Good swimming pool, when open. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the vicinity.

United States of AmericaThe price is for a luxury hotel which it was in the past. But it is a little outdated, it looks like we came from 80s. Something did not work properly in the room, although the staff tried to fix it it did not stay (electricity and so air conditioning and lights). Too pricey for what you get.
Location is unbeatable and the staff was exceptional. Room are big enough and mine have a balcony with sea view which was very nice. Breakfast was good, but no exceptional.

United States of AmericaThe property looks tired - many spots are rusty and appears that maintenance is rather sparse. Air-conditioning operated with its own calling in life and was maxed out at 18°C - the alternative was switching it off!
Conveniently located to the beach and other amenities. Staff were generally pleasant - front desk was very helpful with local info at checkin.

United KingdomThe area was more residential that touristy. Our fault we should have looked into it more. The area is also filthy and there is no beach.
Food was good. We had breakfast daily and an evening meal once or twice. The pool area is nice and clean but the pool toilets were never cleaned. the room was very clean.

LuxembourgThe breakfast was good but there was only one negative issue; the scrambled eggs smelled and tasted burned 2 days in a row. The 3rd day I did not even try them anymore. That I needed to pay 3 euros for a towel at the pool was strange.
The swimming pool was nice, clean and big. The room was comfortable and big enough and looked as on the picture.

United KingdomUpgraded to a suite with a jacuzzi and a huge balcony. No furniture on the balcony. The jacuzzi didn’t work. The plug didn’t keep the water in the bath. The shower pressure was very weak. The temperature gap between freezing cold and hot enough to take your skin off, very small and difficult to find. The toilet flusher required a technique which I was able to master the day we left.
Great location. Easy cab to the centre, loads of nearby restaurants and bars. Upgraded to a top floor suite upon arrival. Fabulous, comfortable breakfast.

HungaryThe internet connection was pure in-fact it was only available in the lobby , at the room not. The rooms aren't sound proof , you hear all the guest when they close the door. The tv isn't smart , can't watch Netflix ect. Not heating either air conditioner Isn't working in the room. The pool you can't use either the sun-beds even though it's hot because it's not by the pool for use. Cleaners start working loud on the hallway from 7am in the morning which is bothering.
