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...).

RomaniaDuring our trip the weather was not so good therefore we spent a lot of time in the interior premises. Some elevators need repairs (due to some strange vibration) The shower at the sauna was not functional (water was closed) The pool table need repairs. Kids playground was not opened. Overall needs more attention on maintenance of equipments and also to add more facility for interior activities, when tourist go off season.
Large room, clean, good size bathroom. Food was good, diversity Interior swiming pool was proper, clean water, accesibile for kids. I like the evening small entertainment organized by the hotel staff. We enjoy the tree climbing activity.

United KingdomGreat place with extremelly spacious rooms, a place where the concept “All Inclusive” stands out:the food it’s available all day long, the most important place in the building(the bar, ofcourse) also available till midnight with a wide variaty of drinks for everyone; guarded underground parking and loads of things to do inside & outside of the hotel plus everyone was so attentive(starting with the ppl from reception, bar & dinning area too). Every night around 20.30 they’ve had a 30’ show for kids(dancing&singing) where after 21.00 the adults show came into action and you would’ve been entertain by the host till almost midnight. Strongly recommend Melia Grand Hermitage and we would gladly return here with pleasure.

BulgariaA little bit uncomfortable for us was that the towel reception worked until 18:30 and the pool worked to 20:00. And if you go to swim after 18:30, you cannot get a towel. Another thing is the working time of the sauna - it is working until 18:00. May be the hotel management may think about another working time.
We had a big room with sea view, the bed and the pillows were very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with good amenities. All the staff were very kind and polite. The food was good and it had a good variety.

The food in your main restaurant was not good at all, and I recommend you to hire a good cook, but the rest of the services and the atmosphere of the hotel were excellent.

RomaniaThe pool table was broke. The ice football was broke. Only ping pong working. They should upgrade the games room. The hotel is old, and you can see that. It does not disturb so much, but a renovation is needed.
The food is very good and diverse. Some of them repeat from day to day, but there are also types that are new. We had 2 rooms: 1 of them daily cleaning, one of them not everyday cleaning. Large rooms, nice sea view, daily shows/concerts. We found enough spaces on the beach and at pool, though we stayed in September, maybe in august/July will be hard. Underground secured parking.

RomaniaNothing I can recall, maybe the polish tourists that were sometimes noisy or drunk. Food in the LEVEL restaurant somewhat repetitive but very good. The free internet connection in the room very weak & slow.
This was our 2nd visit. 1st one was in 2007 (?) when the hotel was still Kempinsky, I could notice a clear diversification in the hotel's entertainment offering (waterpark with slides, LEVEL pool) Room size and cleanliness, The sea view. Access to the LEVEL lounge and pool, The service in the LEVEL restaurant. Speed of free internet in the LEVEL lounge. (in the room internet connection was poor)

RomaniaThe cleaning lady doesn't know what privacy is. She entered directly in the room and she didn't wait for permission. The elevators are breaking regulary which in turn makes the waiting time too much. One the elevators is shaking pretty much. Also 2 drinks were charged even if we didn't drink them. Finally we didn't pay them explaining the situation at the reception.
Very nice pools, good food, clean room.

RomaniaI didn't like the fact that a very rude romanian lady cut me off in the like of giving back the towels and the man who was working there did nothing about it. Yes it's about education and clearly that woman was without manners but anyway... I was with my 2 young children btw and she was very proud of herself that she two has one child, not a good example. There were a lot of people smoking even though you cannot do this in the area where children are playing at the pool and there is also a sign, but nobody said anything. There was a lot of food, but some types were not that good.
I liked the view from the room, very nice. It was quiet, this is a hotel that really has soundproof rooms. The room was cleaned everyday

IsraelThere are no free places on the beach if you are coming after 10. The beach's size and capacity are not fit for the number of guests. The same for the restaurant - is not clean enough in the time of peak hours, and personnel cannot handle the number of people in peak hours. The breakfast takeaway box that we got on the day of leaving was awful! Not tasty, not enough. Fruits in restaurant are not represented according to the standards of 5 stars.
The location is excellent. Personal is very responsive, and helped with all our requests. Facilities, room, design, external design, view - all were very good and did the impression. Thanks for the excellent vacation!

RomaniaThe armchair that one of my kids had to sleep in was very small. Some of the facilities there where not available although presented in the package. The Al Dente restaurant , where you need to make a reservation is way under the Level one. Cleaning in the room is questionable.
The Level Package is a nice touch as you can acces the heated pool outside. Aldo the good at the Level Restaurant is pretty decent And covers of variety of tastes. The bed was very nice and comfortable. Nice variety of pools. Enjoyed also the indoor pool, perfect when the weather is not nice.
