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...).

SwitzerlandRooms and especially the bathrooms are a bit tired but the hotel is probably oldish. I didn’t mind it as it didn’t affect the comfort. At the pool there are very few sun beds and umbrellas. We had no problem having one but it was low season and hardly any people. I am not sure how that works during high season.
The hotel is right on the beach and has a beautiful pool. The restaurant is beach side with amazing views of the ocean. I loved having breakfast there. Rooms had double doors, I assume to keep the street noise and the heat away and this worked perfectly. We were in the main building and had a cute balcony with superb views of the garden and ocean. Staff from the restaurant and pool were all friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe factor 50 sun lotion in reception was ridiculously expensive at 80 us dollars. We had factor 30 but sun is so strong that you need some 50. Went into the town and got some for fraction of price. We were there over their new year so not so many shops open on the second day of the holiday. That’s because they are all up all night! Didn’t get massage as they closed at 4.30 and wanted an evening one. Found places outside very cheap and were more flexible.
Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Bungalow rooms spacious and air conditioning excellent. Restaurant very good with good food especially good for gluten free. Hoppers were gluten free and I had some bread made for me. Reasonable prices. Was good to not have people selling things from the beach when you were sitting there. Much better than Indonesia from that point of view. Beach very clean.

AustraliaThe resort is on the main road and unfortunately you can hear the traffic noise in the room and they were renovating at the time we where staying which added to the noise but once you are in the resort grounds it’s lovely and peaceful.
It has a nice feel as you are right on the beach, the restaurant over looks the beach The pool is a nice size and plenty of beach chairs very relaxing seating lounging area.

United KingdomIf you need a taxi (car or tuktuk) it is best to just walk outside the hotel and find someone. We asked reception for a taxi to Mirissa beach (10 minute journey) who quoted $35, but we walked outside and asked a tuktuk taxi who was sat just outside the hotel gates and he took us there for $5 - big difference!
Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean and the location was perfect. Located right on the beach front but walk out the back of the hotel and everything is on your doorstep. The food in the restaurant was delicious with gorgeous views of the beach. The staff were very friendly including chef, waiters and pool boys and nothing was too much trouble. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

United KingdomWhile the beach villa is gorgeous, but the bathroom could do with being updated. There was general wear and tear in places including some rusting of metal etc.
Great location and facilities, good choice at breakfast and helpful staff. I had a massage which was great and the hotel generally felt very clean. We didn’t eat meals other than breakfast here. Our beach villa was lovely with so much space so we could feel at home during our trip. We were in the closest villa to the pool, away from the neighbouring Marriott which felt like a win for us. Housekeeping staff were also brilliant.

United StatesI had an issue with my arrival date and communicating that to the site was very difficult with a lack of cell phone coverage to call and spotty wi-fi. When we did get phone access, they refused to talk over the phone and would only work through chat. I had to argue a little too hard to get my dates adjusted and I was initially told I had to pay the full fee for both days. They finally agreed to a one day penalty and moving my reservation forward but that meant I had to rebook my second night on my own and into a lesser room due to availability. That could have been made more clear to me. To their credit, I was just one day over on my change restriction but given international travel was involved they could have been move flexible.
The beach was beautiful and the pool area felt very secure and well maintained. The food was really good and reasonably priced. Having my evening meal right at the beach was a highlight of my stay.

We enjoyed surf lessons with Dillan and also thought the breakfasts were delicious with good range and choice. Staff even ensured we had breakfast box to take on safari at 4am.

The hotel was fully booked but the management were slow to offer any compensation for this poor room. It is supposed to be a superior deluxe room with a sea view and it is not

United KingdomOnly slight negatives being reception staff need to work on there hospitality skills, engaging with the customers more and not just processing them like a factory line. Drinking water!! 4 star hotel needs to get rid of plastic drinking bottles and get filtered taps for drinking water. We experienced smaller hotels/guest houses on our travels that had invested the money in such things and not only does it reduce plastic it gives us more that .5l of free water a day.
Beautiful buildings in a great location with excellent restaurant and the grounds were kept lovely.The Restaurant staff and pool area staff go out of there way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
