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...).

BelgiumWe feel that the demon duck is somehow overpriced related to the food and service. At the Italian we were unlucky to be surrounded by a massive group of people with many small kids on their cellphones on sound level 10.
It’s a great resort with excellent staff all around the resort. Breakfast is amazing.

United KingdomNot sure about the policy for the big pool, which seems to be for paid guests only? Everyone else crammed around 2 other pools.
The staff service here is fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Rooms have nice amenities, nice touches like a different incense stick every day and cute little merch gifts in the room. Quiet and away fro the noisy roads so good sleep had.

Beautiful hotel with a zen atmosphere as well as looking gorgeous it smelled great too! The staff on the front desk go above and beyond as do all of them even the housekeeping gave us a personal service. It’s in a good location with shops and restaurants a short walk away and also can walk to JBW. Beautiful beach area too with great service. The breakfast experience was the best with again all excellent and friendly staff.

United KingdomSwimming pool and sunbed situation for adults is far from ideal. There is one large fantastic pool and beds but you have to pay for them, and there was zero people using this while I was there. The next best alternative pool is esstienially for kids and people with babies. The last pool for adults is very small, in the corner with not ideal sun. Really not ideal.
Excellent service great restaurants lovely room

United KingdomBeach was ok, we didn't sit on it as didn't feel as nice as others we'd been on. Was busy around the pool, so needed to get a sunbed early on to get a good positioned one, in the sun, lots of trees - but that's ok if you aren't bothered about being in the sun all day. It is expensive hotel, didn't use the spa because of that - but I don't think any different from any other 5 star hotel.
Loved this hotel, very welcoming on reception and staff everywhere very nice. Our room was the Bliss room - absolutely gorgeous, the design beautiful, stunning bathroom area and bath/shower. Lovely coffee, daily room clean excellent. Breakfast was excellent, mainly on a menu ordering but could have whatever you wanted, as many dishes as you wanted. Swimming pool area is stunning, large and varied so lots of choices on where to sit as well as the beach if that suits better. Also enjoyed the chilled out vibes of the music playing and a DJ one day. Loved our after sunning ourselves beer at the pool bar. Used the gym a couple of times too but also enjoyed running locally outside the hotel

SloveniaEverything was excellent. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The friendly and attentive staff at the reception, restaurants and pool ensured that we felt incredibly comfortable, while the outstanding daily cleaning service added an extra touch of comfort. The hotel is beautifully designed and provides a delightful retreat from the city's hustle. The culinary experiences at restaurants Alizee, Demon Duck, and Tutto Passa were exceptional, each offering delicious dishes that were beautifully presented. We left with wonderful memories of every detail, including the care, quality, and overall experience provided by the entire team.

Amazing stay at this hotel. Second visit as good as the first. Tranquil, beautifully decorated, friendly helpful staff, including Mohamed, Imran and Anna breakfast/ a la carte restaurant Rooms are spacious, immaculately cleaned twice daily and the bed is enormous and really comfy If you just want a small bite in the evening then the Japanese tocha restaurant is really relaxed and the staff are super friendly. Small bites were delicious Poolside staff are just fantastic, always happy to help you in any way. Thank you Michael! The resident DJ for the weekends is really good, she played a brilliant collection of chilled vibes and dance to just add to the atmosphere. The perfect combination. Highly recommend this hotel, it’s bliss, the perfect place to unwind and relax.
