Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

IrelandGood sized room & the toilet & shower all very clean. Swimming pool area was perfect, along with the private beach, where use of sunbeds & umbrella were free. Nice cafe/bar at the beach along with cocktail bar at the pool, we had lovely cocktails in the evening with a selection of tapas, all very good. Great selection for breakfast & receptionists were extremely helpful & friendly

PortugalThe breakfast is honestly not great. The variety is somewhat lacking. The coffee tastes like burned beans and having not a single natural juice, but only flavored water is a let down. The internet was not the best either, especially in the bedroom, but it was enough for what we needed. Main gripe is how loud the radio was in the pool at times. They turn on the radio and you have loud italian publicity screaming in your ears from then on. It's not comfortable and definitely not fitting the place. Also don't understand the logic behind closing the pool for 2h at lunch time and so early in the evening.
It's actually one of the best sound insulated hotels I've ever been in. The inside door to the bed area definitely is great to have and provides some extra comfort. Location is great, right by the beach and walkable to town and dinner spots.

CanadaI wish they could have provided us with beach towels. I also think the pool needs a clean and the submerged exercise equipment needs to be removed. Charging 5 euro a day if we kept our own food and drink in the fridge.
The staff, the nostalgic retro decor/feel, the location, the beach club, the complimentary transport to the train station, the view from the sea view room.

United KingdomThe 2 rooms we booked were on different floors. 3-bed room was a bit too small. The air conditioning was noisier than normal inside the room. The fish starter at the restaurant on the beach could be better. Mosquitoes were having a feast - but I'm not sure how that can be helped.
Pool and access to private beach. Food and drinks inside the hotel were reasonably priced. The location is very convenient - just 10m walk from the town centre. The hotel facilitates boat ride bookings with a local company whose boats depart from one of the beaches near the hotel. The views from the boat ride are stunning. If you have a car, the national park of Pollino is just 30m away - we enjoyed visiting the river Lao natural reserve. We also enjoyed visiting Diamante, just 20m away by car.

ItalyThe property however is in need of some renovations as it’s a little outdated. The room was quite small for three people although the balcony with sea view was gorgeous. The bathroom was very small and I must warn that the shower is tiny and if anyone is a bit big, they will struggle to fit inside. The aircon was good but it kept switching off whenever the window was opened for even a second. I think visitors would also appreciate having aircon on in the lobby upon arrival in this very hot time of year.
We absolutely loved the location, the beach, the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff. The breakfast was amazing with everything from cereal to cheese and other sweet and savoury treats. The staff treated us to the breakfast although we had not opted for it. Giusy was an excellent and very kind waitress who also handed in my mother’s sunglasses when she left them in the bathroom. We loved the pool area with the poolside bar too. The lido was fantastic with beach umbrella and deck chairs included in the price of our stay. The beds were comfortable too.
