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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

RomaniaIt will be ok for future to have in mind to keep as clean as possible the beach and maybe to make it more attractive for the clients of the hotel.

IsraelNothing special, but we didn't use the room. Only the facilities
The facilities are wonderful! Water park and the pools. But most important is the wonderful manager Georgi Tomov who went out of his way to help us, since my family member is a handycap... He was really caring and gentle and solved the problem in a very creative way; we slept in another Grifid hotel close by, but during the day he let my kids use the water park in Grifid Bolero, it was a beautiful gesture and we really appreciated it greatly...

United KingdomWe had some issue with the bathroom (smell in the evenings), which was sorted promptly after complaining. Only one type of beer was available in the restaurant, which unfortunately was not to our taste.
Clean and well maintained, nice pool and aquapark. Great location. Tasty food & lovely drinks at the bar. Bulgarian restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Friendly and very helpful staff. Relaxing SPA treatments were also good.

LithuaniaThings to improve: Evening programme and dj, nobody knows how to connect the equipment. :) The music is often too loud. Massage: Do not buy this service because it is just a pat and has nothing to do with massage. I booked a "sports massage" and even asked several times if it was really there, I was assured that they know what a sports massage is. Even though the hotel advertised 20% for the massage everywhere, on top of not getting what I needed, I was charged the amount without the discount.
Positive Hotel staff are extremely polite The hotel is very clean The food is delicious

RomaniaDownside of having the room in the last building is that we had to climb many stairs. Parking was a challenge being in full season, they were not well organised when it came to parking, they should delegate at least an extra person from the staff to help with parking during check-in times, we have waited a lot (20-30 minutes after check-in) for someone to come and guide us to the parking lot which was also far from the hotel itself. It could have been easily resolved by receiving the parking space location along with a ticket to indicate that I'm a hotel guest, so I could go there myself instead of waiting. At the beach not all the chaise-longs and umbrellas were well-maintained, some of them were broken, some of them missed their plastic tables.
The location of the hotel was great, very close to the beach, delicious food and drinks, very clean rooms. The room booked for us was a bit far from the hotel entrance, the last building in the resort which had its downside, but it was quieter up there, which we appreciated. It was good that we had the chaise-longs at the beach included, we found available spots everyday, sometimes further from the beach or the bar, but still there was space.
