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.).

United KingdomNeeds renovating, every part of the building needs decorating. Didn’t like anything about the property.
Didn’t like anything about staying at this property. Booked to stay at the Golden Strand, when we get there we were told we were staying at the Beckwood. It wasn’t a nice a room, the carpet was dirty and parts was lifting up, radiator wasn’t working, we got a small portable heating in the room, which wasn’t putting out enough heat. The place needs renovating, the Beckwood should’ve been let out to anyone, it needs updating. Wouldn’t stay there again.

BulgariaThe electricity fall down several times a day, everyday. The fact that my room was ensuite with bathroom, the shower broked in last 7 days of my staying, I informed the owners but no action was taken, and I needed to take shower in the hotel next door on the upper floors. There was loud music several nights of my staying, and I needed to complain to Booking.com to resolve the matter. The common area was with pool table, however, on both of the sides of the hotel was unusable as there was maintenance. The maintenance was finished in the last day of my staying, so no chance of using it at all...
Free amenities, and I was asked if I need an additional towels and bed sheets. My room was ensuite.

United KingdomThe room had hardly any space at all, carpet all frayed which one child caught their toe in, double bed was extremely uncomfortable where i was in agony the next morning. No handle on the inside of bathroom door. The curtain didn't cover the window at all so it was extremely light. Room advertised with pool table is closed off. The bunk bed was swaying and extremely rickety and I was worried the eldest child may fall through, she also couldnt get down the bunkbed stairs well because they are infront of a wall and it's a very tight squeeze. I could cope for 1 night but i would not want to do more than 1 night in these conditions.
Staff were lovely & friendly, location is perfect, managed to find free parking at the top of Street near the shop and take away, received free toiletries (shampoos, soaps) which are always a nice touch, bedding was clean.

United KingdomThis is a cheap place to stay and you get what you pay for. The carpet was unclean, room had double bed and bunk bed in a Small room, had to go up 3 flights of stairs. I wouldn’t go back there again. if you can pay a bit extra stay elsewhere
You get what you pay for. In hindsight I wish I had paid a bit more for a better place. We stayed one night and paid £60 for 2 adults and 2 children. The pictures show you what to expect, so it wasn’t too surprising. We had our own en suite. On the plus side the location was good, only 5 minutes walk to the beach and 15 mins walk to the main attractions. Illuminations were super! Also, found free parking nearby which was a bonus *Tip* check the parking signs, we found a street off the beach which was ok to park after 6pm. Plenty of places to eat nearby.
