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.).

PhilippinesAccess to the resort is frustrating but not on the side of the resort but to the local government unit as well as the signs to the resort should be easily seen and followed. I was told the tarpulin signs are stolen by the local residents which is very disappointing. I hope this issue gets resolved soon for more local and foreign tourists to arrive.
Very comfortable and service was done very well and staff was very accommodating to all our requests. Especially when help was required on jumpstarting our stalled car battery. Outside, cool sea splashing on the dark sands reflect the sunny atmosphere at sunset and surprising land to cover during sunrise. The swimming pool on the resort was refreshing too.

United KingdomOld woman chased me around tried to sell me hugely overpriced gear, the hotel doesn't allow outside food and drinks so they can make you eat and drink their reasonably overpriced food and drink (but it wasn't too bad). Bicycle rent would have been nice but I'm probably asking too much. The beach itself is not the prettiest but of course this isn't the hotels fault. TV didn't work properly (kept on turning off randomly).
Pool open for long hours of the day, nice view from the window, private place for us to eat, staff were quite helpful, replied to my texts in English and gave a free tricycle ride back to the main road. Free good breakfast. Right next to the beach. Room we stayed in was very pretty and we had food delivered straight to the room even after we arrived quite late.

Kuwait- No Wifi in the rooms. - Low to almost no 4G signal in the rooms. - Water pressure in the bathroom was quite low. - The electricity got cut off one time, but hardly lasted 15 mins. - The immediate road to reach the resort is quite narrow so your driver has to be experienced. - The other resorts surrounding this one were full of people singing and partying pretty much all day and night (It was however the holiday season and nothing could be heard from inside the rooms which is a good thing). - The pool is tiny.
- The Food was excellent! Not only did it taste amazing, but the portion was fantastic for the price. - The Rooms were very spacious and extremely clean, so was the bathroom and shower area. - The Staff were extremely accommodating and kind. - The Shacks "Kubos" at the beach front was one of the things I've enjoyed most, It was refreshing, cozy and having food/drinks there were one of the best parts of my trip. - Room insulation was perfect (Could not hear any noise coming from outside)

United StatesNeed larger bed cover sheet. Only one thin sheet provided and it was small so sleeping 2 people on king size bed hard to keep covered or warm, turned off aircon. Water heater in shower did not work well, barely warmed the water and water pressure was low in shower though good in sink. Only two towels provided in room. Would recommend they add hand towels in addition to bath towels.
I liked the large size of room and large balconey with table and view of ocean.

United StatesThe issue was with the two adjacent properties on either side of my hotel (White Castle Hotel). I checked-in on Monday, March 18th. The first night was absolutely peaceful, tranquil and very relaxing. On the second night (Tuesday, March 19th), on the property next door/adjacent to my hotel was having a “family reunion” of approximately 30-40 people less than 40-meters from my bedroom window. This party lasted only until about midnight, with a beach bonfire, extremely loud karaoke singing, plenty of alcohol consumption and loud voices. I said nothing to my hotel management the next morning, because the previous night of partying next door became somewhat quieted/acceptable around midnight. However, on the third night (Wednesday, March 20th), there was a huge party at the hotel next door. It was a “Corporate Team Building Event” for the employees of a company in Manila. They were playing games, making announcements on a loud public address system, singing karaoke on a professional karaoke machine, drinking alcohol and partying around a large bonfire on the beach. They didn't stop until 2:00 AM. Needless to say, I woke up around 1:30 AM, and I couldn't fall back asleep until after 3:00 AM. And to make matters worse, this Corporate Team Function/Corporate Party”fired-up” their public address system and started singing karaoke on a professional karaoke machine again at 5:55 AM…!!! With little sleep after two nights of partying “neighbors” next door on both sides of my hotel room, I notified the hotel management that I had decided to check out of my room one day early and return to Manila. And even though the Hotel Manager agreed to refund the last/final night, this website (Booking dot Com) refused to honor the refund…!!!
The entire hotel staff were extremely professional and courteous. The hotel and property was kept immaculate. The room accommodations were perfect.

FranceI was thoroughly impressed with the resort; it takes on the appearance of a castle adorned with captivating art throughout. Its architectural style reminiscent of a Spanish beach house lends a charming touch. The culinary experience was exceptional, thanks to the owner, a renowned chef with a background in 5 stars hotels in Paris and Monaco, who genuinely prioritized delivering outstanding dishes to the guests. The atmosphere is tranquil and delightful, complemented by well-kept, clean rooms. The property's swimming pool, meticulously maintained, enhances the overall allure, providing a rejuvenating escape, especially following a day of exploration or beachside relaxation. The staff deserves commendation for their friendly and attentive service, consistently going above and beyond to ensure guests enjoy a comfortable and pleasant stay.
