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...).

PolandCompare to other similar hats this one was a bit small for us but perfect for a single or couple. Bathroom needs renovation.
Magic World has perfect location in the middle od Palolem Beach. One step and you are at the sea. Their restaurant was tasty with a various choice of sea food and fishes every night. It was nice to have a dinner at the beach under the sky. The guys worked from dawn until late at night to create a place that was comfortable both during the day and in the evening. The Magic World included beach chairs that could be used at no extra charge.

IndiaEvery thing was good. Nothing is there to dislike considering the environmental restriction on construction the hotel owner have to mange with.
Location is right on Palolem Beach. Only one AC room which is on stilts is facing fully the sea. The rest of the rooms have partial or no view of the sea. But over all the rooms were decent with decent bathroom.

United KingdomWe had such an incredible stay at Magic World and by the end of the week were very sad to leave. The staff are some of the friendliest, funniest and hard-working people you will ever meet. Adil, Hilal and team looked after us and really made the stay special, we cannot thank them enough. Room was clean and has everything you need. We were looking for a relaxed beach shack and that’s exactly what it is but don’t expect anything more than a comfy bed and basic amenities. Location is pretty much as good as it gets, beach front, great views and close to so many bars and restaurants. The food at Magic World is also fantastic, highly recommend trying some of the fresh fish, Dal Makhani and Butter Paneer.
