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 KingdomNothing really, should be preserved…….
A slice of the past, slightly faded reminded me of old Hollywood, with a selection of villas in lush gardens, fabulous beach, great sea bathing, good restaurant.

United KingdomThe bedroom would have looked better on arrival if the window shutters had been opened to take advantage of the night and the view.
A hotel of its period, elegant in style, with a good position overlooking the sea and with very easy access from the railway station and to the port. Own swimming pool and access to the beach. A good and convenient restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

FinlandThe breakfast was cut short with the mass of bees that seem to be living somewhere very close to the eating area. Not a very nice experience on that front.
Nice location near the harbor with friendly staff. Very nice surrounding with a pool and beach access.

FinlandBreakfast was a little disappoinment, everything was in single packages and only fresh fruits were kiwis, bananas and perrys. Cheese and meat were out almost every morning, and we had to ask them more. Also what was surprising, that this was first hotel, where we had to pay extra per day, when wanted to use pool or beach! And it wasn't cheap! Kids were not allowed to play with ball at the pool...I even went to the frontdesk to ask about it, but it was forbidden!!! Come on! Also during our stay, there was a huge weddingparty at the hotel. We didn't get any information about that and walking in your beach clothes while others are in suits and gowns... I wished, the hotel would have given us information about the event beforehand.
Hotel was beautiful and outdoor areas and garden were in good shape. Air condition worked and showers were efficient. Scenery from our room was so beautiful, sea and sun!

NetherlandsUnfortunately the entrance to the private beach was only at extra costs. Furthermore, due to the dam that was built in the sea in front of the beach, the water was standing still, and therewith not clean and fresh but warm, not deep (so swimming was not really the case). The five villas were beautiful but the noise from the road that is next to it was louder than the sound of the sea.
The room was much smaller than indicated and the balcony consisted of two plastic chairs, so that was a bit disappointing. The breakfast outside had a really beautiful view, but the place suffered from wasps the moment we put our breakfast on the table.

NetherlandsEverything was super good, only the food was a bit less than we expected sometimes and the bathroom is rather small. Just a minor detail. Extra costs for the beach/swimmingpool though.
The location is suberb, they have little villa's with very comfortable (several) terraces, enough places to sit comfortable in the shadow, beautiful flowers everywhere. Its perfect for a few days to totally relax. Private beach is worth it. Didn't leave the hotel. Very friendly staff.
