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...).

CanadaWifi is not good, we had to request to moved as our room received no signal. The staff was very good about changing our location. It was a bit pricey.
The property was conveniently located for getting to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The pool area is very nice and generally clean. There are nice pool lounge chairs and shade umbrellas. The breakfast was sufficient and there were western options available upon request, however the local Indian options were delightful.

IndiaPrice of rooms can be little lesser.
Everything is so good about the resort. Well maintained neat and clean. Especially the staff. All of them were well behaved and helpful.The best part and we really appreciated is that the resort is very good for the families with infants toddlers and kids as it has been planned with real care and all necessary facilities are available. All the best. The beach is near and less crowded.

NetherlandsThe breakfast is not that great and especially the non-Indian options. You also have a taxi service at the entrance of the hotel, which is of course a perk, however, they charge quite high rates and negotiating is not an option.
Really nice hotel in Calangute, Goa. The first night we had some noise because of the bar across the street of the hotel but the next day we could switch to a nicer room. The staff is really nice and helpful. You can also order food and drinks 24/7. The spa on site is also a really nice touch!

United KingdomLiked everything. Would be nicer if The gate at bottom of garden was open for guests but wasn’t a problem for us.
Lovely hotel with rooms overlooking the pool and sea. Short walk to beach and shacks. Hotel was clean and pools were good, especially liked the one opposite our room which was always quiet. Lovely gardens and well kept. Staff were all polite and friendly. Special thanks to Gabriel from reception who went out of his way to get me a mattress topper as I have a bad back and the mattress was a little too hard for me. Shower was wonderful, great pressure and plenty of hot water ( not always the case in India)

United KingdomPerhaps clean up the seating area around the pool in time for the start of breakfast, if you get up before 0830 you’ll notice the detritus of the guests from the night before.
A really nice all round hotel, the pool is pleasant, bar and restaurant are good and great value. I was moved room on request to a room with a window / balcony, as the first allocated room was without a window which I didn’t like. The main asset are the staff, without doubt some of the best service we’ve ever had and they’re genuinely really nice people.

JerseyA better reading light could have been available at the bedside. The sunbeds had seen better days. Pool towels were not always available. Room cleaning/servicing often happened late in the day.
Breakfast was excellent, with a changing variety of dishes on offer, particularly the Indian dishes. The menu at other times offered a good choice of veg and non-veg dishes, Indian, western and Chinese. Service was efficient, with pleasant staff. The room was comfortable and spacious. Front desk staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

It was value for the price. The place was clean. The bathrooms were clean. There was enough variety for breakfast, and the food in the restaurant was tasty. It was very close to the beach so you could easily walk there every day several times if need be. We would definitely go there again

United KingdomWifi in our room wasn't good but strong in public areas.
Great location near the beach and within easy walking distance of many restaurants, bars and shops. Super pool, very large and rarely busy. Our room was large with big comfortable bed, a spacious balcony and the best bathroom I've had in India. Plenty of helpful staff, Food in the restaurant was very good. Breakfast was fine but predominantly Indian fare , not a big shock given we were in Goa !! Overall a spacious good quality resort.
