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 AmericaOur villa was owned by a dutch family so it was European electrical plugs which was not indicated in the description. we had to scramble to purchase adapters. Just remember to ask when renting.
This was a last minute trip and Coral Estates coordinated pick up from the airport and a rental car waiting for us at the villa! This saved us time and money. Everyone was very nice and helpful. They then coordinated our return trip back to airport. Great location in the middle of the island. Our villa was walking distance to resort. The snorkeling rental very knowledgable and gave us great tips on where to go. You need to return snorkeling equipment each day for cleaning. We made reservations in advance for the first night at the bar restaurant and had a beautiful sunset view! There is bakery and pizza place which was very good and convenient

United States of AmericaThe first property needed a “manual”. The safe did not work. A toaster would be nice at the first property. The second property bathroom sink stoppers were nonfunctional. The second property kitchen was a bit unclean. The second property exterior lights shone into the bedroom even with the drapes pulled.
The first property was exceptional! The second property was ok

BrazilYou can’t use air conditioner a lot or else you have to pay their electricity charges. Who wants to deal with that on vacation? Also I was overcharged as if I had used 10.000 litres of water on showering. This was not nice.

United States of AmericaWe went about a day and a half without water. Luckily we were out doing excursions but when we came home we couldn’t shower. Wish they would have compensated us for at least the one day since we didn’t have the most import utility.
The property is well maintained and in a good location away from the city for a nice relaxing vacation. They even have three small restaurants on the resort about a 2 min drive away. Place was gorgeous and had everything you needed to be comfortable. Place looks just like the pictures and I was extremely impressed.

United States of AmericaNot a single thing, it was perfect from start to finish!
Everything, the property, the pool and the beautiful view at Villa 33 Brillante was breathtaking. The host gifted us a bottle of wine because we mentioned celebrating our wedding anniversary during booking! Complimentary drinks at Karakter was also a welcoming touch. A highly recommended stay and a great value for the money!

CanadaPrior to arriving it seemed like there would be more restaurants/things to do close to the resort, it wasn’t quite clear to us that we would need a rental car. The staff possibly could have told us a little more about the island upon arrival (such as if we can drink the water, where we can get groceries, how to get to the resort, etc.). And the final minor thing: we would have liked an actual blanket on the bed rather than a top sheet, but that might be personal preference I would suggest having a blanket for each bed maybe in the closet if guests choose to use it.
The gated community and room were absolutely beautiful! Staff was very accommodating and responsive when we needed something or had questions. The resort was fairly close for a meal or a day at the beach.

GermanyI was missing hair dryer.. but if you know in advance or you don't need it, it is no issue, it is warm and nice breeze which makes your hair dry quickly natural way :). In bedroom there was a mini light part of the sealing fan which was on the whole night ( and disturbed me but not my husband ), i text to help me and switch it off and maintenance person did it without any issue, quicly, with smile = for good sleep 😴. So ,in fact, also positive 😀
View = simply the best. Size of the house, furniture. Quiet, cleaning every 3 days is really nice, response time to any question or for help more less immediately. Restaurant, bar, spa at the beach, snorkeling super , directly by entering the water. I can only recommend to anyone who loves beautiful quiet place for couple or family or friends, this is really such lovely place.

The Villa 1022 was beautiful and had many of the things needed to make our stay pleasant. The price was great for what you get, and the staff was very kind and helpful.

United KingdomKarakter restaurant's dishes are tasty, but the prices are high and the portions small, so not good value for money. The bakery's cakes are rather dry, but the coffee is nice. The service is painfully slow at both. The beach at Coral Estate Resort, to which you have access to if you are staying at one of the rental, is minimal and mostly rocks. I would strongly advise you to rent a car so you can explore restaurants and beaches outside the resort.
We stayed in the Penthouse of the Cape Marie building. The apartment is sea facing and has a stunning balcony with dining and seating area. The kitchen is brand new and fully equipped with all you need to prepare meals, including a blender for making smoothies with the delicious local fruit. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and spacious. The whole apartment is beautifully decorated in a calming, "beach vibe" style. The location is quiet and you are surrounded by nature. There are walking trails all over the estate, which we enjoyed exploring. A car is necessary for the whole duration of your stay to reach the nearby beaches, supermarkets and restaurants. The resort has two restaurants which are OK but nothing special, and quite expensive for what they offer. Our car rental was arranged by Coral Estate, with the car delivered to us at arrival, so it was an easy process. Finally, a special thank you to Joy, the member of staff that looked after us during our stay. She has a great disposition and works incredibly hard to ensure the guests have an enjoyable stay. You deserve big praise, Joy!

We originally planned to stay in another hotel, but there was no place. And we chose Coral Estate , and we traveled almost the entire island, we realized that we made the right choice and this is the most beautiful place with clean water. We liked Joy and another girl ..)))

CanadaThere are 2 restaurants down by the beach at the luxury resort. They were quite expensive. We opted for the pizza place next to it instead ( very affordable and delicious thin crust pizzas) or drove further to go to various restaurants on the island.
We were 5 on this trip. Very nice garden view Villa with a lot of space and quiet. Security for the area so very safe. Central location so we could access almost everything on the island within 30 minutes by car. Many beaches nearby but our favorite was Daabooi beach, 2 minutes away by car (perfect for free access, small affordable snack bar, snorkeling, turtles, easy parking, very nice and quiet beach). Kitchen is very functional. AC was good and so was Wifi. Overall great place to stay (with a car).

United States of AmericaIt might have been my error in not being totally attentive upon check-in walk around (harrowing long journey there), but we had to call at least twice to get clarification re internet hookup. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment, glasses, and china, etc, but no place to store pantry items. No instructions for ready mastery of the stovetop and dishwasher. When calling office for information, often told someone would be buy soon- soon being a vague estimate. We lived in the Caribbean for 15 years, and found delays (also at Karakter and Koraal) beyond even the Caribbean norm.
The villa is beautifully maintained and neat; the view is lovely. The pool is much smaller than it appears in photos- more a European dunking pool, but fine for our purposes.

United States of AmericaThe main living area didn't have AC and we felt like we were limited on our AC and water usage as we were advised upon check in. This made it very hot when preparing meals even with the doors open. We actually needed AC in the main living area more than we did at night in the bedrooms where the units were located. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms could have cut down on AC use, especially at night when the wind was blowing. Also, we didn't initially know how to open the blinds as they had a latch that was hard to open and we didn't want to damage anything. We had to ask at the service desk if they could assist and it didn't feel as if they appreciated being asked. We also asked them to turn on the light IN the pool so that we could swim at night without the house lights but no one ever responded to our requests. Finally, when trying to play games out on the lanai at night we didn't have much light and finally realized that several of the light bulbs had been unscrewed. We screwed them back in and were able to take full advantage of the outdoor space.
Very upgraded, nice, and clean property with lots of outdoor space. It was upgraded and the kitchen was very well stocked with all we needed to prepare our meals. The view was spectacular from the moment we saw the front door. The location was great and there was always a view. The community is very quiet, friendly, and walk-able. It was great to come "home" to after a day in town or at the beach. The members in our party commented quite often on what a great property as we were assigned to it without knowing which property we were going to get. The security staff was Excellent and were always smiling. After our initial check in, we were remembered and always greeted as if we were residents returning home, once we verified who we were of course. Always felt safe and comfortable leaving the doors open and when roaming the community.
