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 KingdomNothing, everything was great.
Lovely villa, spacious and well equipped. Having the pool heated was a good decision and there was aircon in the villa, though we didn't need to use it often. We hired a car to get around but could also walk into central Playa Blanca. The villa provided us with a great base to relax, Netflix was available on the TV and there were books and a Nintendo Wii. Communicating with the villa host was really good. The villa is private and we had a peaceful week and we would book again.

United KingdomThere was no housekeeping during our 2 week stay. Extra towels and sheets were provided but the bottom sheet was a double for a king size bed! I could not get any English channels on the TV, via the box, it kept saying no signal. We tried to use the pass at the Tropical Island spa but it was closed for maintenance. The walk back to the villa after an evening out in the town.
We really enjoyed our stay at the well furnished private villa. We paid to have the pool heater on, so we could use the pool. We also paid for a starter pack, which meant we could make a drink on arrival. There was only two of us, so it was good having 2 bathrooms. The pool man came 4 times during our stay.

United KingdomMy only negative comment would be there were stray cats in the street which came into the garden. I am not a cat lover so that was an issue for me.
Villa was very clean and well furnished with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Lovely pool which was the warmest we have had in the last 5 years. Any issues were answered very quickly and resolved by Juan. A very quiet area of villas about a 20 minutes stroll into town which was fine for us.

United KingdomIt’s getting a little dated, needs a new sofa. We did have a problem with the heating of the pool and it was cold for one day, considering we had paid per day it would have been good to offer a refund for that day. Otherwise all good. When the pool was warm it was fantastic!
Comfortable and well resourced, including washing tablets, books, pool ball etc! Lovely spacious villa. Good communication from the staff and very clean.

United KingdomProperty very good. It would be useful to have more than one key though..one key opened everything. Should have minimum 2 in case there was a fire. Also would be lovely to have some details of things to do, restaurant recommendations and nearest supermarket in the folder
Location, having the space. Very quiet residential area but walkable to the beach. Taxis very cheap also.

United KingdomIt is quite a walk from the town and coast, about 1.2 miles, although we enjoyed the walk most days and there are plenty of taxis around, especially for the trip back.
We had a fabulous week at Sun Grove Villas and Spa. The villa was spacious, comfortable, quiet, clean and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the pool and spent lots of time in it. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well. I would definitely recommend it.

Irelandthe kitchen was full of tiny ants/bugs they were everywhere and even a jar of Nutella with the lid on they somehow swarmed, we kept everything in the fridge, they villa did provide a lovely cleaning kit which included bug spray this was used regularly, if you were having anything to eat it’s best to put it on a plate and tidy up straight away, the lighting in the twin room was very poor could do with a ceiling light, the tiles around the pool got very slippery and my son took a fall also there was a tiny step and that was hard to see we all tripped on it at some stage throughout the stay but it blended in with the floor, It was lovely to have a washing machine but the spin cycle wasn’t great and clothing came out very damp but we squeezed them out and they would be dry in a day
It was a beautiful villa spacious the pool was just ideal it was safe had steps down at one end and we used it a lot, the outside area was beautiful and clean, master bedroom was just off the outside area big bed comfortable and en-suite bathroom, a comfortable twin room with great wardrobe, the living/dining area was fab and the villa has air-con in both bedrooms and living/dining room it was about a 15min walk to the town, we used to walk down and get a taxi back

United KingdomThe main let down was the pool it looked bigger and with the seated area underwater around the sides the usable area was a half the length of the pool, my daughter could do the splits and her feet hit each side of the pool with her head out of the water. The pool wasn't cleaned, A guy came once when the cover was on and tested the water that was it. - we filled the pool as the level was dropping and there was a tide mark around the pool. I didn't come to swim lengths etc but the size was a little disappointing as I booked it as the pool looked larger. The James villa leaflets outdated, bulb in master bedroom not working and afew were out around the bathroom mirrors - I never reported the bulbs so just letting you know now so no big deal. I enjoyed the stay and would come again, the only negative is the above but it didn't spoil the holiday.
I liked the villa, quiet location, but bit of a walk to shops and back - but that's why it was quiet. Beds were comfy too.

IrelandThe ants! We avoided eating in the villa as the ants appeared all over the kitchen at the first sign of food.
Villa is very well equipped with everything we needed as a young family. Nice quiet area, pool area is fabulous. It a short taxi ride to the centre or about a 10/15min stroll. Contactless check in and out very easy.

United KingdomTiny little ants on the kitchen floor and worktop area can be cleaned down but seem to reappear quickly. Also, a few cockroaches were spotted inside and out, probably due to the warm weather conditions and expected somewhat. There is no curtain in main bedroom bathroom. Feel a little exposed when having a shower or using a toilet, although no one can see in, but feels too open. We didn't use the spa passes as not enough time. There's nothing terrible, just some pointers.
Spacious apartment for a family of 5, also gave an extra bed but we didn't need it. Has all the appliances to help you feel at home, washer, dishwasher, TV, nintendo, etc. The pool was amazing and private, not overlooked at all. We were slightly overlooked from the patio area by the terrace on the left, but nothing too much.. The pool was cleaned every few days,, we had paid for the pool to be heated but really didn't need to! Cats everywhere, which my kids loved feeding and hanging around with. Villa is in a residential area. It was so nice and quiet, 15-20 min walk to the ocean front. If you don't like walking, the taxis are relatively cheap, 3-4 euros one way to the hustle and bustle. Everything was really good and we look forward to returning one day.
