Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SwitzerlandOur Room was not that good isolated for noices, so we could hear sometimes stuff from outside
10/10 Customer Service. The picked us up one the port...without us even asking! They made early and late checkin / checkout possible with 0 problems. Organizing an off scheduled boat was also possible. If every Hotel would have this service? Way different world. I would book the hotel again 😁

RomaniaSome of the towels were not in a good shape but the staff replaced them immediately when we asked. There is a smell in the bathroom when the shower is turned on, but I presume this is a common thing on the entire island.
The location of the hotel is excellent, for sure one of the best on the island, with direct access to a very well maintained beach and a great small snorkeling spot (a small wreck with lots of fish). At night sting rays and small sharks are coming into the bay quite close to the shore, which is a very rare and special experience. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The furniture is a bit dated but still quite functional. We stayed for one night in a room on the ground floor facing the village but upon our request the manager transferred us to a first floor sea facing room which was much brighter and had a really great view from the balcony. The staff was really nice and helpful and resolved fast all the minor issues we had.

IndiaNothing.. Everything was great
Excellent property on a beautiful island Courteous & helpful staff! Special mentions for Thejas who met us on the boat and arranged pretty much everything for us. Mallika welcomed us and showed us all over the property and got us going. Naveen at the restaurant was great with service, frankly all the girls were. Masood and Sahu for taking us on the most memorable coral garden snorkel. It felt like a dream!

BulgariaThe check-in was slow. We wait for more then 2 hours (besides being told that our room will be ready in 30 mins). The kettle and safe box at the room were not working. We request such, but did not receive a new safe box. Breakfast lacks fresh fruit and vegetables. We had lunch on the menu at the hotel restaurant few times. Be prepared for a long wait. Everything happens really slow. Even drinks came 15-20mins after you order.
The transfers was smooth - great support from the hotel. A person wait for you at the airport and once you reach the island (to help with luggage). Great location. Right next to a beatuful beach. Clean beach towels are provided every day. Sunbeds and umbrellas are also provided - free of charge. This seems to be the main tourist area at the island. It's very lifely with plenty of restaurants, there is also a grocery store. Breakfast is fine. Coffee is good. Dinner is delicious. Not a lot of options, but all of them are well prepared and nice. We explore the whole island beaches/hotels. As overall I think it's one of the best hotels/guest houses of the island !

SwitzerlandIt’s absolutely the best hotel on the island .Very friendly staff, excellent service, cleanliness, best beach and top location . Delicious food from the menu (recommend their pizzas) ,maybe not that much choice as at the other hotels but it’s much more delicious, less oily and faster served . Very good administration, they quickly help in any matters (booking tickets, organizing tours). We were also kindly provided with all the necessary snorkeling equipment free of charge.

RomaniaRashu Hiyaa exceeded my expectations! Great hotel on the beach, lovely staff, special thanks to Krishan and Olga, they were always very helpful and answered to all our requests from transfer from and to the airport to local trips and everything else. It was my birthday during my stay there and they were so kind to bring me a cake with Happy Birthday, I really appreciated it. Also, they organized a lovely Gala Dinner on the New Years Eve with disco on the beach. Spent 11 nights there and would have stayed more. Will definitely return.

Czech RepublicThe connection of the wifi could be improved in the hotel, sometimes it didn´t work in the room. The variety for breakfast could be better, more fruits and cereals.
The best hotel we could wish for in Dhiffushi. Even when we had a one hour delay of the flight, the stuff waited for us on the airport with the speedboat. The location of the hotel was great, next to the bikini beach. Every day we got clean beach towels and the stuff prepared the beach chairs with parasol. The stuff was always helpful and kind, especially the receptionist. The area of the hotel was always clean, rooms too. From the activities which offers the hotel we tried paddle boards, kayak, snorkeling with turtles, sunset cruise to dolphins. The meal in Kettle restaurant was great too. We chose the option with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always the variety of vegetable salads, soup, some kind of rice, pasta, chicken meat, fish and dessert.
