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.).

The location was very nice especially if you drive. There is private parking which you have to pay 7eu for. Beautiful gardens and pool area. Hotel is very classical when it comes to design. Sizable gym area. Dinner was great

GermanyThe area is not for vacation. Simply as that: even though the hotel lists itself as a 5-start and mentiones beach-front, none of that holds for an international standard. The beach is ok to look at, but the harbour is close by so the water tends to foam a bit. I was not told that I can get beach towels when checking in. The rooms and the hotel are well taken care of albeit old. My AC started dripping at night from condensation.
The hotel is one of the better-in-shape hotels in that area, as such its the go-to place. Its well taken care of and from the 80s, so the rooms and common space is held in ochre to dark-ish brown colors. The stuff is there all the time and keeps the place tidy and welcoming. The room was very clean, there was nothing to complain about the service.

United KingdomYou claim to be 5* however more like a 3. No pool service instead told to walk through foyer to inside bar in wet swimwear, no service in pool area even though there were over 12 people using the area. Felt like a conference being held was more important than we as paying guests. Had to ask for pool towels, glasses in the room. Restaurant food was good but decor dull and the whole place just very 1980’s and tired. Rooms clean and bright. There was MUZAC and Michael Buble playing across ALL areas on repeat until midnight. You need to engage Ms Susan Richardson who worked with Rocco Forte to revamp the old place. Tired and felt like going back in time.
Beautiful old property. Large spaces and gorgeous swimming pool. Staff were very good friendly and helpful.comfortable if a very old fashioned and tired feel. Andrea the barman was brilliant at cocktails.

ThailandThere was an old man touching himself and taking photos and videos of all the women. We told staff, and they initially didn’t believe us. But after a few hours they checked his phone and kicked him out the pool. On our booking confirmation, it didn’t mention breakfast. We asked when we checked in, and they confirmed we had breakfast included. Then, when we checked out it was this huge ordeal because they were trying to charge us hundreds of £, saying breakfast wasn’t included. Despite the other receptionist being honest and admitting she had said it was, never being told a cost of given a bill before this point. Eventually, they did take it off, but our taxi had left at this point. Having been delayed about 50 mins we almost missed our flight. Plus the hotel’s taxi cost €50
Rooms were lovely, and comfortable beds Large balcony on superior room with plenty of outdoor furniture. All kept very clean. Brilliant pool - very deep at the deep end. Not too busy. Very clean but not chloriney. Comfy beds around. Perfect! Opposite the beach, short walk to beach club where the hotel pays for you to have a lounger and umbrella (really nice one). Quiet private section of beach. Events here in the evening. A short 15 min Lime (rented scooter via the Lime app), which if you bulk buy minutes on its quite cheap, but taxis are very expensive. €25 minimum (large taxi). Great WiFi
