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.).

IrelandUnfortunately the air conditioning did not work. We arrived back at midnight to a very hot apartment with nobody to contact. A portable unit was provided the next day (between 3 rooms) which did help but was noisy.
Relaxing pool area with loungers and shade. Great beach across road (down steps) with water sports, bar, cliff walk and lots of scope for beach walking and swimming. Also within walking distance of some nice restaurants

United StatesThe staff was not friendly or willing to help with tourist information at all. When we tried to buy breakfast, we were told they weren't serving on Monday? No notice anywhere. One of our rooms was not clean upon arrival; they had to move us to another room since trash and used towels were still in room. Another room had ants and they said they couldn't do anything about it. The room upstairs is extremely dated; furniture needs an upgrade. The shower head was old and kept falling off the holder. We just gave up and left it on the bottom of the tub. Body wash dispensers were empty.
The location was great! Right next to the beach, although it should be noted that there are 122 (yes, I counted) stairs to climb back up from the beach. Short 10 minute walk to a small grocery store and a few restaurants. Good AC. Pools were nice and clean with plenty of sun loungers.

United KingdomKitchen facilities limited - just a hob and microwave and one small cupboard to keep any food in so don’t think you could do fully self-catered. Not enough storage/hooks to hang things on in rooms. Mirrors in bedrooms would be useful. Cleaning service hit & miss - turned up at 5ish twice - not a convenient time. Missed us totally on our last night.
Location excellent, 2 minute walk to the beach. People have mentioned ‘very steep’ steps - we didn’t find them very steep at all. Also plenty of restaurants, shops & supermarket within easy reach. I am totally confused by all of the reviews saying Clube Maria Luisa is at the bottom of a long hill! You barely notice it is a hill onto the main road of bars/restaurants. People also mentioned staff being rude - everyone we interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. Lovely quiet, family friendly resort. 2 bed apartments immaculate. Great pool area and beach access is unbeatable.

GermanyUnfortunately the service was very bad. The staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. When room service came to clean, we threw the towels on the floor, only after then they said that they change the towels every 3 days and so we didn't get any new towels. Our towels were messy and dirty. So we explained the situation at the reception and asked very polite if we could get new towels. First they promised us that the service would bring us the new ones. We waited like 3 hours and after then we called at the reception and asked again, after then they told us that we had to pay for the towels, but they didn't know how to charge us for the towels. After 3 hours we had 2 towels for 2.50 euros. We were all very annoyed. Although one of us had a little accident on the beach and we asked for the first aid kit, first they told us that they do not have any but later they told us that they have one but it is empty. The staff was really ignorant and cynical.
The apartment was nice and clean, the location was also great, very close to the beach.

CanadaIt was small apartment for a family of five especially since our children are grown. The first day a cleaning lady entered our room on our way out to clean and luckily we can back early from the beach. The door to the apartment was left open. Otherwise the complex was nice overall and great location to the beach. Front desk service was great. Also think that a safe should be included in the price and not an extra.
The apartment was updated. It was nice to have a renovated room. Loved the close proximity to the beach.

IrelandTwo things: again telling this so that the ow era can improve their services. I do not mean to in necessarily criticise. 1) breakfast was not very good, very less variety, and refills were mostly for crosswinds and nothing else. They were charging €8 per adult but I felt the quantity and quality of breakfast didn’t meet the expectation. After two days we prepared our own. Real fast. 2) on the last day we noticed that cleaning lady was using the mob to clean the inside of the toilet (commode). This is very very unhygenic. I felt very bad when I saw this. As rest of thnx e toilet was mopped with the same thing. Please instruct your cleaning staff not to do this. Someone can catch an disease eorh this practise
I liked staff help, I asked them to print out my boarding pass and they had no problem with it. They initially didn’t provide iron I had to ask twice , no complains just writing this so that they can improve their service. Overall good maintained property. They fulfilled all my pre requests that I made during my booking. Staff was very helpful.

United KingdomRooms needs some extras, mirrors in bedrooms, toilet holder and towel hooks in bathroom. Shower could do with a door on as water gets all over the floor! As it's self catering, would be helpful if some kitchen cleaning stuff was supplied, like tea towel and cleaning cloth! One issue was there was no room to use on the day of leaving, they had a shower in an outside room but it was dirty and shower tray broken so unable to be used.
Brilliant location, right by the beach. Good parking aswell. Stayed in 2 bed which was newly renovated and room was lovely with pool view (room 14 & room 17) Kitchen was good...all eating equipment provided and good selection. Pool is nice and plenty of shade to be had in garden area. Not many beds, but generally not alot of people use the pool so never had an issue

Italyon the first day we were missing the bedsheets in one bed, they ensured us that they would’ve sort it out for us but it wasn’t like that. we came back late in the evening and still no bedsheets, so we went to talk to the receptionist and she was quite rude to us, saying that there was no way she could have help us and that we would have to sleep without the bedsheets that night😅
we enjoyed a lot the pool, the fact that the property was quite close to the beach and that it was very clean.
