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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

At first glance it was nice , rooms were clean . After the first shower was took it started to smell horrible (mold) . The next day when we came back into the room it was the worst smell ever and it was at the front of the room . The bathroom was molded in multiple places . Making that the first thing you smelled upon entry .
I love the convenience of the location , it was literally on the beach you just walk out the back . And it was right with everything in walking distance !

The bathroom was very small & needed some upkeep. The floors just looked & felt dirty when we first arrived. The door to the adjoining bedroom did not look like it locked very securely. Our door was difficult to close.
View of the beach was great & the beach was not very crowded. The A/C worked great. There was plenty of sleeping space in the room. The mini fridge worked well. The walkways were a nice touch to the facility.

The place is dated and need some upgrades big waste of space
Place is older, it's a huge facility and it used to be very popular with the motorcycle crowd.Unfortunately they gave all of that up and there is no more vendors or anything at the hotel. It's got a decent pool a decent bar plenty of parking and overflow parking. It ain't what it used to be but it's okay, rooms are somewhat dated but they'll work.

The stickiness in the first room we got. Smelled so smoked up. We asked for a different room and they were able to get a better smelling one the still a bit stinky. No hottub. Sucked a lot cause all of the other hotels nearby had gorgeous ones. Toilet flushed weak and badly. The lights for the bathroom are outside of the room which sucked cause my friends constantly turned them off when I was inside. No free breakfast, you already pay a lot for the room and you have to pay separately for the breakfast which is waaayyyy overpriced. Verbo is my next shot. You can find cheaper hotels that are nicer looking and include everything and even more.
The location and the staff were so polite.

Our toilet was clogged when we arrived and wasn’t fixed until we called twice and finally the next day they came. We called for blankets twice and none came until we went to the front desk three days later. We were there for four days and not once was our room cleaned. They emptied our trash only after we confronted maintenance. We asked them to sweep our floors and nothing. We had to get our own toilet paper from the front desk. The tv did not work. Anytime we called for service or went to the front desk we were met with a smile and told they would fix everything and then nothing got fixed. The property was covered in trash and cigarette butts everywhere.
The beach access was wonderful.
