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...).

SpainThe room is dirty, in fact it is not a classic room but a camp, insects inside the room, which if you don’t destroy, will eat you, and if you are also with children, then this is generally a huge problem. buffet on the street, all dishes are open, no hygiene. There are merchants on the beach who will eat up your time. Yes, there was a problem with the payment, there is poor internet at the reception, and even when you get through the process and the full amount is debited in the bank app, the employees will insist that the payment did not go through and you need to spend a lot of effort for them to issue you a check with cancellation. terrible experience, glad I left there

GermanyThe room has been a mess. Wet and dirty bathroom and the corridor to our room looked like an dump. The noise isolation is horrible, so it’s absolutely impossible to have a good rest as it’s incredible loud until the night. Beside the price, this is not a 5 star hotel and we would also recommend to check local boutique hotels, offering much better service and cleanses for much less money.
Great location next to the beach and close to local restaurants and shops as well as the airport.

BahrainThe bedroom and toilet isn’t clean at all: the mirrors were dusty, insects were found in the bed, toilet floor have dirt marks, it wasn’t to my expectations for a five-star hotel. And the hallway outside our room was very dark, lights were switched off which we find it difficult to walk early morning.
The Beach view was great.

GermanyOld Hotel. Rooms and furniture need renovation. Many long-term staff who seem rather tired with a long career. They should retire. Reception staff seem overworked or tired. Overall, this hotel seriously needs staff training. It's a must.
Good location, great ocean view with a large beach, bang on the famous beach road where lots of restaurants, cafés and bars are located. Great swimming pool. Good food, decent spread of food at dinner & breakfast buffet. Part of a reputed hotel chain, hence, it's safe and reliable.

SingaporeProfessionalism of staff at the restaurant. We were there for 4 nights and every time we sat down 2-3 people would ask for our room number. During breakfast we had to ask many times for coffee and no one would return, they often forget about you. Found it very hard to sit and have a peaceful meal as the staff talk to you while you eat. During dinner service the staff would come bring you the bill before you finish eating/ have dessert as if they’re in a rush for you to leave.
Housekeeping and all staff other than those that worked at the restaurant for buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurants within 200 metres walking distance from hotel were much better price, service and selection wise which I wish we explored earlier during our stay!! (Boho & Bacco)

Sri LankaOld hotel and not even close to a 5 star. Front office manager and some staff with attitude and not friendly. Food was too salty and over priced. No cleaning in the room. No AC or a Fan in the front office and it was a very hot day. No Parking with in the property, you need to cross the road and park your vehicle by yourself in an open space roadside which does not look secure. Pool was not clean. You had to call few times to get your luggage’s to the room.
Nothing, it was like a 3 star hotel.
