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.).

United KingdomThe air conditioning was centrally controlled which was poor and the dinner buffet was bland. Free water was also not provided with dinner which is poor.
Breakfast was amazing. The pool was really nice and the spa was fantastic.

United KingdomWould have appreciated more a room with better nature view rather than overlooking the car parking area with loud noises coming through into the room easily Would be nice to include vegetarian/vegan sausages at breakfast Dinner should really have water included with the meal like breakfast does Dinner especially could do with a "vegetarian" list not just vegan, couple of things like a salad unexpectedly had ham in it Frustrating not to have access to an iron in the room - even 3* hotels we have stayed in have this Food in the cafe is too pricey Should mention details in the confirmation email such as needing a swimming cap for the indoor pool, charges for indoor facilities and kids club. Would be good to have a small children's playground area
Variety at breakfast and dinner Friendliness of staff Access to the beach Use of the pools Spacious room & nice balcony area Appreciated after dinner entertainment

IrelandWe arrived late in the evening and I was surprised that there was a performance at the lobby, very loud. My son was sleeping in the buggy so woke up because of noise and started crying and its made our check in quiet difficult. Also in my reservation was included half board, receptionist advised if I want to have my meal in the room I will have to pay for room service only. However I was charged for a food and for a room service.
It was very clean, great location, everything what you need to have a smooth holiday

NetherlandsCheck-in time is 16:00. I think this is too late. We were at the hotel at 12.30. Our registration process was completed, but we were not informed about when the room would be ready. However, they allow you to benefit from the hotel's services until you check into the hotel room. (I wish there were changing rooms so I wouldn't have to wear shorts in the toilet.) They said my room was ready around 15:00. Finally, if you used paid services at the hotel, you should check your bill carefully when checking out. Our massage fee was not recorded when we checked out. After returning from vacation, they contacted us and requested payment. (No problem! I paid the money, of course!) But it wasn't very pleasant to encounter a new fee after the holiday.
The staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. Bartenders make delicious cocktails. Live music is enjoyable. (But the soloist thanking you in Portuguese, English and German after each song may get on your nerves after a while :) I think a single thank you in Portuguese might be enough ;) )

IrelandThe food in the hotel is not great. The buffet for breakfast and dinner has lots of choice but it just wasn't very tasty. We ate lunch each day at the Sunset bar (by the pool). This was expensive and twice in the week we received food that was undercooked (one piece of salmon was raw in the middle). We ended up eating out for dinner for much of the holiday. There are lovely restauants in the Old Town area.
This hotel is like paradise! Pool area is so quiet & beautiful. We were able to relax every day by the pool. Bedrooms are lovely & bed was extremely comfortable! The spa was fantastic, beautiful facilities & the treatment I got done (signature ritual) was heavenly! Ubers were cheap& quick from hotel into Marina/ old town area.

United KingdomI was slightly disappointed with the Outlook from our room we thought we had a garden view, and we did but with a road directly in front, but it didn't spoil our experience, just a minor observation.
It's was our anniversary and the front desk staff arranged bubbles and chocolate strawberries for us in our room, a very pleasant surprise a day greatly appreciated 😊. Staff,food, and hotel facilities were fabulous, looking forward to our next relaxing break.
