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 States of AmericaThe hotel is need of some updating. We were glad to see they have some improvements planned, such as carpeting and lighting. While the hotel is listed as beachfront, the main building where we stayed is not actually on the beach. The walk to the beach is short but I felt it was a little misleading. They do have other buildings that are on the beach. In order to get beach chairs, etc., you must wear a wristband provided at check-in. These are not designed to be taken off and on, which is understandable, but the idea of wearing it to shower and sleep was not appealing. One of the biggest disappointments for us was that the winds were too strong for the beach umbrellas to be up. And they couldn't put them up at the pool either. My husband and I need the shade or we burn. I know the hotel can't control the wind but we could not find a shady place to relax and enjoy the beach.
The room was comfortable and the hotel is pretty cute. We ate one meal at the restaurant by the pool and it was good. Had coffee at the coffee shop and were happy with what we received. The staff were pleasant. We had to leave a day early because of illness and the hotel refunded that night's stay. That was greatly appreciated!

United States of AmericaOceanfront room should have a coffee maker. We brought our own but it would have been nice if we didn’t have to bring one.
Kind of off the beaten path, fairly quiet with mixed crowd of old, young, families. Although so rowdy folks but all in all, you could sleep at night without being disturbed too much.

United States of AmericaThe prices at Backflips were way too high. They seemed to set their own prices and went up every time we went back. We went there less and less as the week went on. $23.50 for two drinks is a little crazy. Just sayin'
Not a lot of ridiculous rules.

United States of AmericaOur Bungalow room w/o kitchenette did not have anywhere (dressers) for clothes, no closet, we used the ironing board to put our clothes on. Shower had a one TINY shelf for shampoo's razors etc. Did not like having to wear a band provided at check to access areas. The bungalow pool was closed off a dusk, couldn't sit out at night to enjoy the ocean breeze, had to go to the bar for that.
My husband and l liked the availability of lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach, friendly staff would set them up! We liked having bikes to ride, the outside bar was great! Lots of USB ports for charging devices in our room.

Canadanot able to go up the stairs, only down. housekeeping is done way too late, around 5 pm daily. furniture needs updating in rooms. vent where AC comes out needs cleaning, it was disgusting. rooms should have flooring, not carpeting. dont understand when there are four people in a room that only 2 chairs and one umbrella is covered by the resort fee, that's ridiculous and NOT made clear upon arrival.
location, access to Octopus restaurant, coffee shop and bar. having access to beach chairs, umbrellas and towels and staff to help with them.

United States of Americamattress too hard -pool closes too early. No pool 🏊 n the area shuts down at 5:30 pm.
The staff is absolutely the best. The guys doing the chairs and umbrellas deserve a raise😃🏖️They serves with a smile and respect each day. All staff were great. (front desk, housekeeping etc.). My complaints would be pool closes WAY Too EARLY! 5:30 they make you clear the pool! What family vacation hotel does that? Also. the mattress killed our backs they were so hard. Lighten up the pool restrictions and soften up the mattress.

CanadaThat I had to pay extra for the parking because I booked through booking.com and not directly from the hotel. it was not mentioned anywhere else and no one told me that while I was checking in. feels like I was punished just for booking this hotel through booking.com.
the beach is very nice and close to the hotel. the complimentary beach chairs are just 2 for room although we were 4 people. the lobby is nice and well designed. the room was ok not more not less.

United KingdomThe hotel does need a bit of TLC and I think they said it was going to be reverbed. It was sufficient for us though and the staff were very helpful.
Lovely hotel for a couple of nights and the breakfast was very good (not included so an extra charge), lots of choice. Right by the beach and just a short walk from lots of eateries and shops. Staff lovely and helpful. Loved it that you could use some bikes to have a ride out.
