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...).

Wow! Just wow! We were so pleasantly surprised at this gem on the beach! To start off, the front desk staff made us feel like we were royalty! They were so kind. Our room was FABULOUS! So large and clean. There was so much room and space. Huge shout out to the Assistant Manager, Nicole for creating such an amazing atmosphere. We do not have enough compliments to give! Run! Don't walk to the Golden Sands Hotel!

United States of AmericaRoom had a sandy floor when we checked in, so we wore our slippers to avoid feeling like it would end up in our beds when we retired for the evening
The staff was friendly and so helpful! Any time we needed anything, they were fantastic at the front desk. They seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs and it makes the process of checking in and checking out that much better.

I enjoyed the beach access, the fact that it had a pool and that’s right behind it.

United States of AmericaThe staff was very nice and the room was very clean. I had a couple of fish tacos from the restaurant and the tiki grill which was delicious and the drinks was on point. We enjoyed the quietness of the whole area and that we had a picture perfect bird eyes view of the beach. The direct access was a great bonus and there was plenty of seating on the pier near the tiki bar. The bartender was nice and it was a small crowd of people but everyone was having a good time. The AC in the room was great.

United States of AmericaBeds were large, but we found them uncomfortable and hard to sleep in. Pillows were really firm as well. I realize others may prefer really firm beds and pillows but we did not.
Loved the location to the beach and restaurants and boardwalk.

United States of AmericaThe bed was extremely uncomfortable to me. Way too firm. That my only complaint; oh and the balcony needs a little paint or something to liven it up. We enjoyed our stay a lot and will be coming back. The construction was a little off setting but I’m glad we didn’t let if deter us and still stayed
I loved how clean it smelled as soon as I walked into the office to check in and the cleanliness of my room. The staff was awesome and accommodating without making you feel like you’re being worrisome. Nicole greeted us with a big smile and went out her way to make sure we were comfortable. I really enjoyed her personality and attentiveness. We had a horrible food experience and she even recommended a way better place and it was a much better experience!!! This place is quaint, clean, and has a beautiful ocean view!!!!
