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.).

SingaporeBreakfast wasn't as good as we had hoped. Very basic options available. The bathroom (particularly the shower) is not up to a 5star hotel standard but it did the job once the shower head was replaced. Our room did not get wifi unless you were in the bathroom. We were given two other wifi codes but it was the same issue.
We had a wonderful stay and we would stay again. It was very traditional, which may in some cases be seen as in need of an update but it did give a certain charm. Very good location as it's a 5 minute walk into town. The pool area although quite crowded (again very typical of Italy) it was great to have access to the pools and the sea. The views were also amazing. The bed was very comfortable and we had a fantastic view from our large balcony. The staff were helpful when we had any questions or issues. The shower head needed replacement and this was done on the same day! Eden roc was lovely for lunch!

IsraelThe Beach Club is built on terraces. On each terrace there are sun-beds, with the main pool and jacuzzis are on the top terrace, and the bottom terrace has direct sea access. Unless you wake up early to drop a towel on a bed, you will probably be stuck somewhere in-between. That means you will not be able to look over your personal belongings, and have to go up and down a few flights of stairs every time you want to get in the pool or sea (which is quite annoying when you are wet). When we addressed the staff about the empty sun-beds with nothing on them than a hotel towel (with no one visiting them for hours), one replied that it doesn’t matter and another one approached us in a rude manner that we were about to throw away people’s belongings (and again, we are talking about a single towel provided by the hotel). In a marvelous hotel such as this, I would have expected better treatment to this issue.
We got an upgrade to a suite, which is very much appreciated and it was just wonderful! The hotel looks like it came out of a fairytale, seeming very elegant and well-maintained. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with beautiful views of Rapallo Bay. The hotel staff was kind and friendly, they helped us a lot throughout our stay. Never had we felt like we were a burden, it was relieving. During breakfast we were offered a vast variety of delicious food and drinks, just what was needed to start the day off right. Room service was also quite generous - we ordered from them twice (once for a late dinner and once for breakfast) and it went on perfectly! The beach club was equipped with unique facilities, like an infinity pool overlooking the Portofino Coast, jacuzzis and direct access to the sea.

United KingdomDifficulty getting sufficient drinking water. Small bottles in the room, no other provision apart from ordering at the bar. Paper cups and Nescafé in the rooms, find your own milk. All a bit basic for a 5 star resort. Beach and pools don’t open till 9am and close at 7pm (bar even earlier). We found this a bit limiting if you want a pre-breakfast swim or a late afternoon chill out.
Location and beach club excellent. Terrace bar with live music was good. Beach restaurant excellent. Great to swim from the rocks. Helpful staff generally.

ItalyThere was no huge selection of cocktails (a classic like bloody Mary was missing). Despite my dog being very well received I don't understand why we can't take her to the beach for her to swim with us ..
Great and beautiful hotel, with good breakfast and staff. Loved how my dog was welcomed there. Happy to come back!
