Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomWe stayed on the 6th floor & there were few families on the same floor. It was a bit noisy sometimes, especially in the mornings. I didn't like the local dogs that came by the outdoor pool side although they were friendly with guests. One of the mornings, I was woken up by the noise from cleaners on the corridor outside our room at 6am - not pleasant!
Very spacious room (Junior suite shared with my sister & mum - 3 adults) with a lot of storage space. The fridge in the room was replenished each morning with soft drinks, beer & water without any charges. We loved how close the beach was to the hotel, less than 30sec walk from the hotel. Lots of food options for breakfast/lunch/dinner. There's also a snack bar where you can get pasta, burgers etc if you feel hungry before dinner. Loved the ice cream bar & mini café by the outdoor pool - we paid for all inclusive so we didn't have to pay extra to enjoy these. Different entertainment options throughout the day e.g. table tennis, darts etc. Live show every night at 9pm was a hit & it was different every night! We used the spa facilities - loved it! We paid 20BNG per person to use the sauna & steam room for 1 hour. We each had different massages done for a fee, very relaxing. I paid 69BNG for my foot massage -30mins, Classic massage 30mins 79BNG/50mins 119BNG. The wellness centre has many more services facial, salon, pedicure etc - charges applies. The indoor pool is free to use, not very big & closes 6pm each day but we used it and it was fine. I wished they had a jacuzzi- it would have been 5*! Overall it was a pleasant 5 days!

BulgariaThere is a bar, but it works only untill 22:45, and after that tou have to move to the lobby if you want to have a drink. There is no entertainment- no billiards, no music, no games for the adults. The pillows on the terraces were all covered up by bird poop
The hotel is really nice and it looks amazing. The rooms are big, the indoor pool is fine, the food was great. I was impressed that there was baby food ( milk) in the reataurant. Most of the staff were very kind.

United KingdomOur air con didn’t work in room 442 as it made a loud mechanical noise when off. We had to have it disconnected. Some staff - we went for dinner late in the restaurant around 8.45/9pm twice and it was a completely different experience, obviously management were no longer around and the host team particularly were not great; messing around/on phones/not greeting guests/chatting/ not helping and being too loud - less professional than during breakfast/lunch or earlier in dinner service. The restaurant - it’s too casual as a canteen to ask for long trousers, to ask that there needs to be ambience. I would suggest music is aligned, some nights we had heavy rock, techno and jazz within 10 minutes (do the staff have control of play lists? It’s not relaxing) and also turn down the lighting in places (outside) Wine was terrible - need a better selection on offer, to buy if needed as it meant there was no alcoholic option for dinner. Only other - further up the beach in the white umbrella griffid area, beach staff said the loungers were only for that particular griffid hotel…whereas in the area outside our hotel was mixed with griffid guests so full. Need to make clear if it’s all areas or one and if it’s all, communicate to those hotels. Better towel service needed and please turn off the loud music by the pool :) Lifeguards - no-one paying attention
Lovely hotel overall and some staff were brilliant (front desk reception, kitchen staff, cleaning, some waiting staff) all inclusive was a logical option as there were no/limited good restaurants nearby. Food choice was generally great. Modern, very very clean Little cake place was lovely. We didn’t have issues with sun beds as others mention. Pool was spotless

IsraelPool could be cleaned more frequently. In the evening/night shows it could be quite loud even in the room. It is weird that no ice cream served after 17:00 and no food is available between 11:00 to 12:00 when the hotel is considered ultra all-inclusive
Nice staff. Hotel is very comfortable with young children 1-6 years old. Great combination of access to the beach with a pool is great.

United KingdomMy minor gripe is that the main bar is more of a place to simply be served your drinks - it's not particularly inviting to stay and drink a few cocktails. I don't know if this is deliberate but it doesn't have a bar feel, in terms of seating plan, maybe some bar snacks, mood lighting etc. It was fine for us and we took a cocktail up to our room and sat on the balcony.
I requested the room we had last year and the hotel staff kindly accommodated the request which was a really nice touch.

RomaniaThere are only two things I can really complain about. One is the mini-fridge that makes a lot of noise at night. And if you have rooms that face the road (not the sea) you might have bad luck and be really close to the door that they use to restock and they are very very very loud at 7am everyday.
Everything was as expected, the location is very good,, the food divers as much as possible for an all inclusive, the beach is close, rooms and all hotel is very clean, wifi connection everywhere.

United KingdomI didnt not like anything. If I had to be picky, I would have liked a greater variety of fish dishes at the evening meal as it tended to be grilled fish as the only option.
From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff were helpful and friendly. The team were continually cleaning and restocking. The junior suite that we stayed in was comfortable and well suited to a family of 4. The food choices were good. Good selection of activities for the children if they wanted to join in.
