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 KingdomIt is very isolated, half mile from small town area, and 5 miles from main lively beach and bars. Also, be aware, we upgraded to a balcony… they are not balconies you can sit on, but Juliette balconies, so you can only open the door and stand against a railing, not even step out.
close to beach, and supermarket shopping across the road

United States of AmericaThe signs for the main entrance probably could be a little clearer as we had some trouble finding the place. The shower in the master bath didn't have a door, so the tile ended up getting pretty cold, but it wasn't a deal breaker.
The staff was very friendly, always willing to help, and always smiling. The resort had several amenities that only added to our stay like a private beach access and bikes for use. They had an amazing bar and grill, the BackFlip Bar, that had great food and overlooked the ocean.

Location was 👍🏼! Near great restaurants, bars, attractions. Plunge has a great pool and beach. The food and drinks served at Backflip and Octopus were good, the staff at Backflip-exceptional!

United States of AmericaThey dont show any pictures with beach umbrellas or chairs so we brought our own . They don't assist with Valet luggage that was most disappointing. Pool and beach were amazing. They should send servers to the beach to ask for drink servers. When you book in 3rd party website they dont tell you the Bungalows are adults only . I booked a bungalow for my wife and son. It let me book it then I called and they wouldnt refund my money I paid $30 more for the Bungalow thru bookings .com

United States of AmericaThe hallways are in need of renovation, but signs were there stating that was in the works. It is a little disappointing that for the price, nothing, not even water was included. Drinks on the beach were very high priced.
We didn't have the breakfast. The lobby and rooms were nice. Clean and comfy. The location was great! Beach was well stocked with chairs and umbrellas. Staff was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.

United States of AmericaThe staff would close the pool and make everyone leave by a little after 7pm, they would also take all the chairs and umbrellas from the beach around that time even though sunset wasn't until 8:40pm.
We loved the beach and having the bar/restaurant right there next to the beach. The pool area was also very nice!

United States of AmericaNeeds some serious updating. Rust and mold on light fixture in my room. No microwave and they could use an actual ice maker. It’s a freezer with bags of ice. Not enough lounge chairs around pool. They have an adults only side with pool but never saw anyone in it. Adults not staying on bungalow side should be able to use adult only pool too.

United States of AmericaThe hotel is need of some updating. We were glad to see they have some improvements planned, such as carpeting and lighting. While the hotel is listed as beachfront, the main building where we stayed is not actually on the beach. The walk to the beach is short but I felt it was a little misleading. They do have other buildings that are on the beach. In order to get beach chairs, etc., you must wear a wristband provided at check-in. These are not designed to be taken off and on, which is understandable, but the idea of wearing it to shower and sleep was not appealing. One of the biggest disappointments for us was that the winds were too strong for the beach umbrellas to be up. And they couldn't put them up at the pool either. My husband and I need the shade or we burn. I know the hotel can't control the wind but we could not find a shady place to relax and enjoy the beach.
The room was comfortable and the hotel is pretty cute. We ate one meal at the restaurant by the pool and it was good. Had coffee at the coffee shop and were happy with what we received. The staff were pleasant. We had to leave a day early because of illness and the hotel refunded that night's stay. That was greatly appreciated!

Kind of off the beaten path, fairly quiet with mixed crowd of old, young, families. Although so rowdy folks but all in all, you could sleep at night without being disturbed too much.
