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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

We ran out of toilet paper twice and had to ask for more (4 girls in a room) but housekeeping came and didn’t notice we would need more. The cost for food and drinks was really high. We had four people staying so should have received that amount of beach chairs per day.
I liked the location, so close to the beach and pool area.

In the room, the water heater must have been off or malfunctioning because the water would not stay at a constant hot temperature, it kept fluctuating from hot to cold which was annoying while trying to enjoy a shower. We decided to drive our car and do self parking- the parking gate was completely messed up and didn't work when we wanted to take our car out! It was a confusing system and we had to get Valet to manually open the gate for us twice when we wanted to drive to a nearby area. Also, RUDEST thing while we were there.... on our floor people kept slamming their door shut which made a LOUD jarring noise. People continued to do this at 6, 7, 8 AM and it woke me up out of my sleep!! It seemed like people had no regard for others who might be asleep by just letting the doors slam shut. Not sure if it was guests or workers. The room service took longer than expected after the second day to come clean the room. We had to call and ask them to send somebody twice. Lastly, the "balcony" view was EXTREMELY misleading. These rooms literally had the tiniest balcony that you can barely step out on, couldn't even put a chair or sit down. That was very disappointing when you pay for a room specifically to have a balcony.
The front desk staff were very welcoming and prompt to check us in, the chocolate chips cookies were delicious! The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and the main lobby was kept clean and always smelled amazing. The main lobby bartenders were also so friendly and great with service! The rooftop pool had a really nice vibe, great live music and little games like ping pong and a pool table, we really enjoyed that.

Complained about noise from my dogs at 10pm on a Friday night after being a “pet friendly” hotel. The elevator smelled like mildew and parking was not free. Self parking cost $48 a day with no discount for hotel guests.
The property was close to the beach with walkway access across the main road to the beach. Accepted pets

On two occasions, two young ladies were inappropriate dressed in thong bikinis in the lobby.thus they exposed their bottoms for all to see including children. This was reported to the front desk to alert the security staff.
The front desk and restaurant servers were very professional, polite and helpful.

Front desk Service was HORRIBLE! - Over charged me for parking, did not explain any of the amenities, no explanation of restaurants, breakfast or bar services. No one to help with luggage, or even get your guest a dolly! Lazy, Unprofessional, and Not Trained to be front of the house! For a Hilton, my family and I were disappointed!
We loved the pool area.

Some of the staff was either a little creepy towards my group of friends OR had a bad attitude. We had an issue with our room, and where I thought things were going to be handled nicely .. it wasn't. We had to get our room changed, and We were sent two floors down from our original room, and on top of that, the person up front didn't have great attitude.
The rooms were comfy, and the view was absolutely beautiful. I also loved that there was a mini fridge in the room, and we got free water and cookies. Made everything very welcoming.

I booked a room with a view and I “viewed” the parking lot. housekeeping also tried to enter the room at 9am, which was a bit inconvenient, as we were trying to lay in and get some rest before the 11am check out.
the bed was comfortable, it was close to the beach and the restaurant and coffee shop was really good. the front desk staff was really helpful and friendly
