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 KingdomRoom could be bigger for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids). Whilst the room was very comfortable and had good facilities, it was compact for a family.
Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Location was right on the Marina so great for exploring the local area and close to many restaurants / bars.

United KingdomI found lack of overall service puzzling. You are left to your own devices. There is no pool service, so if you want a drink or food you go get it yourself. No service in the breakfast room apart from someone clearing tables. It’s buffet style so I get it and perhaps that’s their thinking. When we left no one asked if we enjoyed our stay or asked for any feedback. They are perfectly nice but they leave everything up to you. 5 star facilities but the service definitely is not. The potential is there for so much more.
It’s a beautiful property and was as described. Everything is nice and clean and well maintained. Rooms very nice with a decent bathroom. The evening entertainment that we saw was excellent.

United KingdomBeds very soft and pillows were awful. far to soft. Some amenities are starting to show wear, some pool tiles loose. Not all on site restaurants were open and nightly music had been reduced to include quizzes and bingo.
Excellent breakfast. Superb location. Rooms are to a high level of space. bathroom is spacious and well provisioned.

United KingdomThe pool bar was tiny with just one person serving and only 4 choices of sandwich. The bar inside was stunning but hidden away. We felt there wasn’t a focal point to meet people or enough outside bar space. The marina was fantastic though and right on the doorstep.
The location next to the marina was exceptional. The hotel was very quirky which we loved, the pool areas were beautiful.

United KingdomThe pathways were typical Canarian design style but this. meant they were very uneven, resulting in my friend falling and being in crutches for the whole of our stay.
The reception area was impressive. Loved the pools and sun bathing areas being spread about.

United Kingdom- WiFi wasn't the fastest - I was only getting between 0.8 and 2.0 Mbps in the room, but at least it was constantly connected and didn't disconnect due to a weak signal (which has happened in other hotels and then subjects me to a roaming charge if I haven't noticed). - The room interior could use a fresh lick of paint. - Even the heated pools were a little cold at this time of year (early March, about 27 degrees celsius).
- The staff were amazing, very polite, courteous and helpful. - Excellent room service. The room was tidied immaculately every morning. - The event staff were great, and there were a number of good events to choose from both during the day and in the evenings (e.g. yoga, pilates, wine tasting, architecture tour of the hotel and paella masterclass in the daytime, concerts in the evenings) - Management came out to greet and speak to the guests on one evening, which was a nice touch and shows confidence in the resort they have built. - Good selection to choose from at breakfast - a mixture of hot and cold food, and included mimosas and bellinis. Food was of a good quality, including lunch (we didn't eat dinner in the hotel so I can't comment on that). - Lots of free car parking, both underground and on the street. - The architecture of the hotel is unique, with each area representing a landmark in Lanzarote (the main reception is under a recreation of the Timanfaya volcano). - Adults-only area available with a separate rooftop sunbathing plaza and pool, and separate restaurant. We didn't stay here as we came during school time, but I can see it being handy for adults during school holidays.

United Kingdombreakfast was good but as vegetarians, we struggled sometimes to find options (why put bacon in with the mushrooms, and the only toasties on offer were cheese and ham! We didn't have dinner any night because at 25 Euros pp it wasn't good value for us. There were not enough vegetarian choices. It would have been good if the big pool was heated
It was my daughter's birthday during our stay and the staff made sure she was made to feel special. The location was excellent, a short walk to restaurants and the beach. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and did what they said they would. Our room was lovely - spacious with a sea view

United KingdomI would love it if there was British bacon and sausage at breakfast, and more comfortable sun beds. The tauteness has gone on some of the sun beds and the strut across the middle section is really uncomfortable.
Great choice at breakfast. Charming room. Love the chapel, the waterfall, pretty much everything. This is our 5th return visit. It’s just so beautiful. Already planning next visit.

United KingdomThe bed was much to hard for my wife and I, When the hotel start to upgrade the rooms can I suggest that the bath/showers are replaced with walk in showers as most of the guests were over 60, hard as you get older getting in and out of a bath to take a shower. Everything else was very good !!!!!
Nice location right next to the marina which had a number of very good restaurants. Very pleased with the size and position of the room. Breakfast busy busy busy, but large selection of things to eat!!!
