How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- 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...).

Verified reviewThe hotel is a great place for an overnight stay. Staff was very friendly and the place has a lively atmosphere. Dinner was good and had good value. The breakfast on the other hand was exceptional and actually one of the best I have had. The room was fine, although a bit quirky. I would absolutely recommend to stay at Hotel des Isles when exploring the area

Verified reviewThe entrance and public area was very welcoming and appealing. A welcome drink was provided which was a very nice gesture . We had a choice of rooms and upgraded to a sea view. The bed was a small double but was comfortable . The staff were helpful and very pleasant.
The room, although upgraded was very small. The bathroom was so small it was difficult to use the toilet without hitting your chin on the wash basin. There were old cigarette butt's left on the balcony. The small. bottle of shower gel was half empty, presumably used by a previous guest and not replaced !!

Verified reviewThe hotel layout in general and the spacious room in particular. The friendly welcome, free drink on arrival, and the excellent dinner. Excellent scrambled eggs and bacon at breakfast.
There was a continuous hum in the room overnight. A lack of milk and poor choice of cereals at breakfast

Verified reviewThe room was not large but had a good terrace balcony with a sea view, as requested. The restaurant is very good. There are spacious lounge areas.
The parking is a little difficult at times, being on the road in front of the hotel, when it can become busy. We managed to find spaces, however. It's worth knowing that the restaurant is closed (or was when we stayed) on Monday and Tuesday, but there are good local restaurants, at least one in walking distance: probably best to book at busy periods, and the hotel did this for us.

Verified reviewLocation was great, staff friendly and evening meal was lovely.
Breakfast was very limited, when we got down about 9am there was no eggs left, 2 slices of ham. The ham wasn't replaced but the eggs were. In my opinion not worth 15 euros each.
