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...).

QatarThe breakfast: multiple items in the buffet felt low quality, overcooked or excessively sugary (shakshuka felt way overdone, some peas and mushroom dish felt like it was from frozen veggies and also overcooked, coffee was just ok). So it's not ideal for someone looking for a healthy breakfast. We were both disappointed. It also felt that at the Arabic restaurant, they didn't have enough staff for the rush because we sat down with one napkin and didn't get served water until like after 15 minutes after sitting down, but the staff themselves, although seemingly overworked, were gracious and accommodating.
The facilities are excellent for families. It's great for people living in Doha with babies, for example, because it's a quick getaway. I especially liked our duty manager Taufiq and one of the waitresses at the American diner named Chit Su who were both very gracious. The room was good although if you're sensitive to light, come with a sleeping mask because it doesn't go fully dark. Dinner at the Arabic restaurant was very tasty.

United KingdomNo entertainment. Would not recommend anyone to stay more then 2 days. Would get boring. After 7 o clock it's sleeping time. I am on holiday need the island to be more entertaining.
First of all before I state why I have not rated a 10 stars I would like to say a big thanks to the following people for their hospitality and kindness. If it wasn't for these people it would have been zero stars. Shahed. Zubayer. Ronald. Osama. Noroshana.A great thanks to the bengali guy that works at the port. What a guy made experience amazing before I got to the island. His abit in the older side.

It is the most beautiful resort I have ever stayed in. Everything about my room was amazing, the food was lovely, and the beach was so peaceful. I will definitely be returning again and recommending to others.

All palm trees need to be cleaned. Their current appearance is not beautiful. Also, the barriers covering the sea must be removed, as it prevents its viewing, whether in the villa or the restaurant.
