Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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- definitely nothing
- location is breath-taking, nothing else to see from the room than the beach and Indian Ocean - Gary and his staff are genuine and friendly. The breakfast they prepared is difficult to top - the hotel is nicely decorated, some very cool artworks all around the place - good dinner options close by

CanadaThere were ants in the room upon our arrival. We were quickly offered another room, however we decided to stay in that room and they came to spray the room while we were at diner. Ants problem solved.
Location is great, service is excellent and the facilities are great.

United KingdomThis is a property that is far better than it comes across in pictures. The villa is breath taking. The location is idyllic. You can be as active or relaxed as you like. The beds are super comfy the sheets are fantastic. Breakfast is delicious. Communication is prompt and helpful. Would definitely come again and bring friends and family! Plus the owner was very accommodating to our halal breakfast needs.

GermanyI seriously do not have anything to improve ... only were we sad that we could not add a second night since it was booked out already. Not a surprise given the place.
An amazing place directly at the beach. Wonderful rooms heading the beach - spacy with a well equipped bathroom. All placed in a modern comfortable house. Thank you very much, Gary, for hosting us!

United KingdomInitial welcome was a bit cold; no help with luggage; and minimal instructions on room facilities. Disappointed that water bottles were charged for - previous venues provide 2 bottle per person free.
The location : the view; proximity to beach; pool and beach chairs available; fruit at breakfast. Gary and Bernie were excellent hosts - and cooked a good breakfast. Quiet ambience. Lovely room (Ocean) on ground floor. Proximity to good restaurants- Las Salinas (Walking); Joplins (4 min ride) and plenty of choices in village (4 mins by car). Felt comfortable and could treat it like home.

South KoreaThe Wi-Fi in my room was very poor, I had to use my own data during the stay. The hotel may also want to consider providing some drinking water for guests - at the moment you need to pay extra for water.
Attention: you may not want to leave your room! The sea breeze room, where I stayed for two nights, is mind blowing. The view actually looks better in real life, and the balcony is very big. The hotel was very quiet and relaxing, and the staff was also very nice. The breakfast in the morning was very good, and the fruit tray was impressive ! There are a couple of good restaurants at a walking distance (Salinas, which can be reached by walking on the beach, and Joplins Steak Bar - not the nicest walk near the road but there is a pedestrian route and it’s only 6 minutes away. Amazing steak!). I have stayed in many nice hotels, but the experience of overlooking directly the beach from your bed is incredible. The mini bar was full of drinks and snacks, and the honesty system was very appreciated. The room was very clean and the overall experience was safe and beautiful.

The unique beachfront location, just a short drive from the village, adds to the allure. The breakfast is delicious as well. Grateful for these amazing days.
