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 KingdomOnly minor issue for us was distance from centre of city. Walk about half hour or jump a taxi. Bear this in mind if you don’t like to walk!
Beautiful grand exterior overlooking the beach and beautiful interior style, modern but still cosy. Room was clean, comfy and just what we needed. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

IrelandWe stayed 2 nights. The underground hotel car park should be included with the booking overall (€17 per night). Especially since we paid extra for a room with a terrace and sea view. First night was fabulous. The next day and night was raining. The terrace was too wet to go out then but that's nature. Bar served sandwiches, wraps, hamburgers until 8pm. The kitchen opened at 8.30pm for hot dinners. The other main restaurant in hotel, closes afternoon time. Across the road, the restaurant stopped serving dinner menu from 7.30pm. So we were in limbo trying to remember which opens and which closes (whilst it rained) - frustrating but not a big deal.
Loved the view from the terrace of the sea and the restaurant nearby. Location was brilliant, easy to find and away from the ferry (5-8 mins drive one way round). Downtown location on foot easily. Parking is hard on street but pay and display around. Plenty to eat out, shop, etc. The underground car park in hotel is very spacious - you drive the car into the lift and out of the lift. Plenty of spaces. (We stayed at another and a number of scratches, etc to the cars as it was very very tight. This one was great.)

This is a beautiful hotel, in a great location with lovely friendly staff from household & bar to front desk, Maria Jesus on front deck was particularly helpful. The rooms were so well appointed and spotlessly clean. I would most definitely return to this hotel and be more than happy to recommend it to anyone.
