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 location of this hotel is perfect, opposite the beach, short walk into town, supermarket underneath. We had two rooms, one was fantastic and one was a little tired. The staff were really helpful and welcoming. Plenty of sunbeds on the beach.

Verified reviewThe hotel is close to the beach, with free sunbeds. It's a family-run business, the staff were looking after us for the whole stay, we enjoyed the great atmosphere and vibe. Also, the rooms have been recently refurbished, and it feels like brand new.

Verified reviewGreat location on the beach some of the rooms are old & some are renovated we were moved to a new room after 2 nights, they are far superior! Great bar staff. Supermarket attached which is very handy. Breakfast was great.
Unfortunately there is a lot of building work going on less than 10 feet from the pool area and most rooms look onto it. There are 2 new hotels/apartment blocks being built. It’s the early stages so will probably be going on for at least another year by the looks at how slow they work. The noise around the pool, in most of the rooms and in the hotel is awful! They stop at 3pm but that most of the day listening to it. The hotel just kept saying it wasn’t his fault when we complained about the noise but my argument is that they should be telling people when booking that there’s so much building work going on! I never would have booked had I known. It’s very unfair not to disclose this info to people! If they don’t tell people then they should be offering a discount on the price! They gave us a few free drinks near the end as they knew we were annoyed with the ongoing noise! The manager didn’t handle the complaint very well he just kept saying it wasn’t his fault but I wouldn’t book this hotel until all building work is complete!

Verified reviewIt’s right across from the beach where they have their own sunbeds and service at the beach. Supermarket below and a nice breakfast section next to the pool area. Very clean, many of the rooms are renovated recently so they are updated and a super friendly staff.
There was construction going on next door but we cannot blame the hotel for that, other than that we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay there again!

Verified reviewProximity to beach; very good and friendly beach bar attendants; lift to upper floors; comfortable beds; regular maid service.
Bedroom door lock had to be almost picked to open it and the manager said I had to fiddle with it! Bathroom door handles fell off. Nowhere to dry beach towels and bathing stuff, had to buy string and rig up a line. Maids arriving at 05:50 outside the room by storage cupboards talking loudly and clattering Breakfast: staff using bare hands to handle cold meats and cheeses whilst holding dirty dishcloths, fried eggs always cold, smoking allowed outside but just wafted into the inside dining area, no butter only margarine. Shop attached to hotel sold past sell by goods.

Verified reviewThis is an excellent property located right on the beach (just across the road). The property owner - Gregoris - is very friendly and helpful. He arranged all of our transfers to the property and back. He also was always available to answer all of our questions. The rooms are spacious and the cleaning staff did an amazing job every day. The breakfast is excellent. The beach staff (especially Leo) were also excellent. It is a wonderful hotel close to the beach as well as the old town.
Everything was great

Verified reviewEverything was lovely, the room was spacious and it had everything we needed. The breakfast was good, not too many options, but enough to choose from. They cleaned the room everyday and changed the towels+toiletries.
The air conditioning was not very powerful, but ok overall. The bathroom has a small window and you could hear everyone talking on the hallway.

Verified reviewLovely view across the beach / sea. Loved having the supermarket right underneath. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was nice and big. Loved the big fridge freezer. No charge for the safe - thank you. Power of shower was great. Loved having a big mirror/dressing table in the bedroom to do my hair ans makeup rather than having to do it in a warm bathroom - big plus for a woman! Room cleaned more or less every day.
The layout of bathroom was a bit tight when getting out of the shower, but think that was because it was on an angle - if you were a larger person you might struggle. Struggled to keep shower head up. A bit dated in places and a bit of colour would make a difference.

Verified reviewWe loved the location as it’s across the beach and in a walking distance to the town. The fact that they have sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach and it’s free if you buy something to drink. The breakfast was good and friendly staff.
The cleaning ladies will get in the room to clean even if you put the not disturb sign outside the door.
