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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

NetherlandsThe hotel in general lacks maintenance, I guess it was a great resort many many many years ago. Everything is quite old. Rooms and bathrooms installations and facilities were also old and some of them broken. Bathroom was not very clean, dust and lack of proper cleaning was noticeable.
Friendly and helpful staff (all of them, receptionist, pool, restaurants etc) and amazing breakfast, so many options of food and drinks, all fresh!

United StatesThere were so many issues with the room and the wifi. Although the staff was prompt to help was recurring issues. The wife was flaky everywhere, AC didn’t work, the balcony light was broken and shocking people, the room phone was not working.
It’s a huge place and great amenities. The staff is so nice and 1000% helpful and friendly. Always happy.

United StatesThe property needs blackout curtains for those that face the ocean with a 5 am sunrise. Some of us travel from far away and our winter sunrises are after 7 am and we want to be able to sleep in. It is unbelievable that this has not been corrected on two trips to this hotel. I’m not sure anyone is reading this feedback. The other part is that the dining room is too crowded - not with people - but with hard wooden tables and chairs. Even when it is half empty when we go to eat, you still can’t walk around without hitting out legs and feet on corners of tables or having to avoid people who have pulled out their chairs and there is no room to walk with our full plates of food and drinks. This is a safety hazard and lazy that you cannot have tables that you remove or make people wait and reward those that get there a bit earlier and then can relax on their vacation with the good food you provide. I have never seen that in my travels. People can also reserve a time online and that will spread out the people eating in your dining room. Please remove at least half of your tables and let us breathe and just enjoy a good meal without the added stress of navigating around the zoo the room becomes - even when it’s only half full of people. Don’t mean to be so harsh, but you are asking for feedback and now it’s up to you if you will actually make any changes. I guarantee you many have decided not to stay here again because of these things and just don’t give you feedback. This will likely be our last stay here as a primary place to stay unless this changes. And I will ask before I reserve. Merry Christmas.
Comfortable. Great view. Convenient to airport. Great breakfast.

United StatesRooms and overall infrastructure were very old and not what I expected. We had a hard time opening our door, the bathrooms are old and dark with poor paint jobs as well. Overall worth the money but I was not impressed with the rooms.
Breakfast was great, pool and restaurants on site were good and convenient! We loved being able to eat poolside and relax listening to the music or whatever entertainment was happening at the time.

BrazilThe noise. The hotel is on the beachfront with the greta sound of the waves...when you can actually hear them. From 10 to 18 there is a constant bombardment of music/DJs that is so loud you can't properly have a conversation or relax. Even with the door closed in your room.
Great view from rooms. The staff were great. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. The pool area was great for kids and there were enough seats for everyone.

IrelandThe check-in was awful. It took 1hr and 10 mins to checkin and it felt more like airport security than checking into a relaxing resort. A bunch of additional personal information was asked for which was unusual. When we asked for the manager he was unable to explain how this would be used and also didn't know how long the personal data is retained. Also no way to request the data is deleted after the stay.
The location had great access to the beach but we were warned by locals about walking around Stella Maris at night as it can be really dangerous.

Sloveniaveeeery loooong check in. I don't know why they need so much information (for example: if I am married),they want e-mail, home address, etc., even though they already have all this information (I signed up via booking), and I have also been in this hotel at least 15 times, so they could probably find this information somewhere. Not the best wifi connection around the pool

MaltaThe room was not cleaned up, it wasn't smelling good and I also don't like that fact that they force you to buy 4 waters from the hotel. In the check in you have to pay for 4 waters even if you will not drink them. That's make no sense.

GermanyPool hours start at 10h which is especially for kids too late as sun gets very strong. Pool bar should open longer than 18h. Disproportionate development of prices in the last two years as service and offer is almost the same (e.g. buffet lunch or dinner for 89 R$ per person). Better trained staff on weekends, during week friendliness and service behavior of staff with notable gaps. And please: No necessity to oblige staff to wear masks anymore (e.g. animator alone on stage wearing mask…). Thank you!
Excellent pool, also for kids. Breakfast and food quality at restaurants very good. Great animation program.

Totally unnecessary as we provided these details when booking. Had to call 4 times to get laundry collected TV was awful Internet was poor Plates too small in restaurant Reception bar closed too early Poor selection of drinks from room service and reception bar
