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...).

IrelandEverything exceeded our expectations.
The breakfast was lovely and great value. The location of Blue Sea Apartments is excellent with the beach just across the road and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The proprietors were extremely helpful and nothing was any trouble to them. They went out of their way to ensure our needs were met and they greeted us with a smile at all times.

LithuaniaNo shampoo was given to us for the entire duration of stay. Soap was only provided at check-in. Despite of that, rooms were cleaned up every day, towels and sheets were changed regularly.
Very welcoming and pleasant staff. They were ready to assist us at any time of a day, it felt like they were truly pleasured to ensure clients' comfort and satisfaction. For example, we made several trips in early mornings missing our breakfast, and the staff was always glad to pack whatever we wanted just in the evening before. The hotel has a cozy yard with a pool inside. Most apartments overlook this yard and have a terrace where one can pleasantly sit in the evening with a cup of delicious frappe made by the hotel bar, without being disturbed by the street noise. There is also a restaurant terrace if one wished to have a look at the amazing sunset in the sea, or at the Rethymno port lights far away. Location was great, just a road crosswalk between the hotel and the beach.

HungaryThe kitchen could be better equipped.
Great location, gorgeous views from our balcony. Helpful, amiable staff. Elias recommended wonderful places that we could see while we were touring the island. Their cocktail selection is huge, so everyone could find something for their taste. The interior flower garden was astonishing. Last but not least, the beds were comfortable and the apartment was clean.

Location was perfect for us, we had the best located room of the hotel with beautiful sea view. There was clean everywhere and cleaning products didn’t have string scent. Hotel was very quiet and there were no noicy hotels nearby either.

Czech RepublicWe went away too soon! I could do a week or three more there easy!
Nice "home made" feeling breakfast, bare basics and quite enough. If you need them mountains of throw away food, go somewhere else. For some baked goodies, coffee or cereal ++, you'll enjoy this one! Location is marvellous! Far enough from the center to not feel the crowds and close enough to enjoy all on foot. If you have a rental car, there's a place to park!! How awesome is that!! You are in the center of the cool side of the island too!!🤣 🤣

SwedenBreakfast was a bit meager, could have a bigger variety of vegetables, marmalades, yoghurt etc. Note that the apartments don't have any microwaves, which makes quick lunches a bit more problematic if you rely on such modernities..
Location couldn't be better - just cross the street and you're on the beach! Lot's of restaurants and small chops along the main road. You won't find anything to clean your dishes with in your apartment, which might appear strange at first, but just you wait for the cleaning staff - they will do the dishes for you!
