Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomDespite our reservation, we were told the day of our trip that they didn't have room for us in the hotel the first night, so we were put up somewhere nearby. The team was very apologetic but it sounds like it happens a lot (booking systems don't reconcile). I'd recommend calling to confirm they do indeed have room for you! The staff did what they could to fix the situation, but it was quite disruptive to our travel and not what you'd expect for the price of this hotel! Other than that, this hotel is honestly great and was perfect for our trip once we were finally in it!
Perfect location in Himare, access to the beach club was really nice, great breakfast and clean rooms and attentive staff!

United KingdomThe staff working in the restaurant were quite slow and not proactive.
Lovely hotel in himare, in a quieter part of town but still only a couple mins away from one set of restaurants and a ten mins walk to the main town. having access to the beach and a pool was so worth it. Would come back and stay again the staff were also so helpful!

United StatesThis is not about the hotel but our experience in Himare. Do not waste your time at the castle. We arrived at 6:30pm and immediately were screamed at by a man demanding payment to access. We had no problem paying but the way he asked was extremely aggressive and rude without us even interacting with him. It was so bad that we left without visiting the castle. If you check out google reviews others have had the same experience. Looking at pictures the castle doesn’t look worth the harassment for a man to pocket the 300.
The room was very clean. location to the beach and access to beach chairs. The staff was very helpful and breakfast was excellent. Parking was very easy directly behind the hotel with a lot of spaces

SwitzerlandThe parking spot is only outside and in the grass, so it was not very handy to drag the suitcases out. It was not possible to use the applications on the smart TV in the room. The room gets very bright in the morning. Maybe having thicker curtains could help.
The breakfast was really amazing with lots of food choices and good coffee that we had next to the pool. The staff gave us towels to use at the pool or at the beach. The room was big and with a balcony with a pretty view.

United StatesThe Sea View hotel lived up to expectations. The hotel, the staff and location were all excellent. The pool was outstanding for the kids during the stay. The shorter pool hours closing at 6pm was inconvenient but otherwise this is an excellent property. The hotel has arrangement with the beach club for free beds and umbrellas. The beach is a 5 minute walk. It is a pebbly but the water was clean and warm. The walk to the town was about 10 minutes to town or the board walk. A special thank you to the front desk supervisor, Melissa who managed changing our rooms to make everyone happy. Also the buffet breakfast was excellent and specialty coffees were also served. In fact the restaurant at the hotel, a seafood restaurant was excellent with fair prices. We ate lunch a couple of time and had one dinner there, all excellent. The servers were friendly and were very attentive taking our drinl orders at the pool and serving us at dinner. A great experience overall. I would highly recommend this hotel to others traveling to Himare.

United KingdomThere was a very high-pitched sound somewhere in the hotel throughout our stay- possibly coming from the lift? We're not sure but it was very annoying!
Hotel was really easy to find and in a good location near one of Himare's main beaches or a quick walk to the centre. Check-in was swift and they accommodated an early check-in very happily which is always a bonus! Rooms are a good size and well maintained- comfy bed! The pool area was really nice and the restaurant great for lunch options.

United KingdomTv didn’t work- for price of hotel this should work. They gave up trying to fix it. Balcony light didn’t work. Beach area not particularly maintained maybe because end of season? Restaurant staff don’t seem to have same level of motivation for customer service as the rest of the staff who were excellent including cleaners. Breakfast wasn’t hot and some of it not replenished.

Great facilities rooms were very clean with everything you need. Pool area was really nice and never too busy. Hotel was in a great location 10 minutes walk into Himare centre. Private beach area through the hotel with free sun loungers umbrellas and towels provided.
