Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – 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...).

Switzerland- Checkin very complicated (we had to wait 45mins for the checkin because -> we don't know - they coulndn't tell us // bad English communication skills of the reception employees) - We ordered a taxi for 4am for airport transportation. Before going to the room the evening before, we quickly paod everything at the reception and made sure it will work. The receptionist then called & awoke us at 03:27 that the taxi is here. We stressed a lot to be as fast as possible at the reception. Once there he told us that he called us, called the taxi at thet moment and told me, that he is on the way! - Swimming on the beach almost impossible since the water level is very low - Pool is used by externals (schools?) which is on one hand good but on the other hand it was a big group, sun chairs occupied, very loud, water was dirty afferwards and pool bar seemed to be closed - There was a very little amount of guests and therefore the hotel seemed to be almost empty compared to its size
- 5 minutes to the airport - Nicely ad equiped rooms - Nice garden - The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good even though we were almost the only guests

United KingdomWe had a problem with the hairdryer not working and had to change rooms (my wife really needed it!) The shower was very poor and there's some general wear and tear and tiredness about the property, room and bathroom, but nothing too bad.
The hotel is pretty good value for money - we only needed a place for one night, close to the airport, and it served a purpose for us. The room we had was a good size, the pool and outside areas are nicely designed, and the staff are friendly and very helpful.
