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...).

United KingdomThe WiFi didn't stretch as far as our room, so I would suggest requesting a room nearer reception if you want a connection. The location was fine for us but it was slightly out of the town and a hilly walk to get to.
We visited in early May, and it felt like we may have been the only guests. The location is quite with lots of cats and hens roaming around which was fun at breakfast. The breakfast was simple and delicious. The room was comfortable and turned around every day. When we arrived we were informed that the pool wouldn't be open for the duration of our trip which we were disappointed by. However , I'm not sure if they changed the order of their l prep for the season but the pool was ready to use before we left so we were able to have the most relaxing day by the pool. I would say this would be a great spot for families as there is also a playground.

United KingdomThere was a slight sewage smell coming from the toilet.
Breakfast was nice. Staff very kind and helpful. The setting was beautiful, a calm oasis in Sile. We had dinner there every night, it was a cosy setting to end the evening, and the quality of the food was as good, if not better, than other restaurants in town. Very atmospheric, very glad we chose to stay there.

The Fener Motel is only yards away from the Black Sea and has very agreeable gardens and a beautiful pool. Each room has a small terrace with a table and two chairs. Everything is very well maintained. The best part of this hotel is the staff. They are charm personified and always smiling and willing to help. We had the half-board, and we were very happy with the food.

United States of AmericaWe managed to get them the smallest room, which would’ve been too small for a longer stay.
Incredible pool, 2-min walk to the beach, and welcoming staff. My son had his 7th birthday at that place, and the property management did the perfect room decoration before our arrival. It was very special and heart-warming.

TaiwanOnly think to improve is the breakfast. For the price of the rooms a proper more generous Turkish breakfast needs to be included. This is literally the only thing that needs improving!

The staff were wonderful, very helpful, very willing to cook is something or make tea at any time of the day. Despite being slightly unusual as a couple, we were made welcome and extremity well served. The pool is wonderful. The hotel is a little outside the town, which for us meant a longish walk into town, but that didn't do is any harm. All in all a great stay.

United States of AmericaFood was incredible and service was out of this world.
To say in short, I broke my foot on one of the excursions a few days into our trip to Sile. The owners of the property came to hotel late at night to take me to the hospital at no charge. Next day they took me to hospital again at no charge. Both times they stayed with me to help and translate when needed and took me back to the hotel. The entire personnel was watching over my 6 years old daughter and me for the rest of the trip to make sure we were comfortable. I truly felt like family was Watching after me. I never expected anything even close to such hospitality, care and kindness from people that did not know me.
