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...).

RussiaThe breakfast is very poor for European minded guests. Lots of Indian food (mainly bread, pankakes, dal and vegetarian curry) is supported only by eggs, bacon a little bit of cheese and sausages. The bed was extremely hard. The staff is not very attentive: several times we asked for cleaning the room and they failed to do it on time. Also there are swarms of crows, which sometimes are very aggressive.
The hotel is very comfortably situated - just near the finest and very clean beach. Although it needs insignificant renovation, total atmosphere is charming. Hotel territory is quite big and green. Room is quite spacious and comfortable.

PolandIt was a very nice stay however sometimes we had concerns about the service and cleanness in the F&B area. The very nice staff needs support and training. The private part of the beach requires regular cleaning. Sometimes we didn't feel comfortable here. The hotel corridors are very acoustic, so because it is a typical large resort for families, the noise from corridors disturbed us sometimes. But usually between 24.00 and 1 am it became quiet. I also would recommend to exchange the plastic "glasses" in the bar and in the resturant on the beach. They seem to be very old and look bad. Even though I have such observations in general our stay here was good I would consider a come back. The price however should be bit lower.
The location is fabulous, direct on the wonderful beach with a part managed by the hotel. Very convenient. The staff in the reception and housekeeping is very nice and efficient. We liked also the reach breakfast buffet. The hotel offers an incredible quality and choice of the food there. The garden and green area areas make the impression. I also valued the massage services (Mr. Guru). The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The sleep quality was very high.

United KingdomUnfortunately they do cater for weddings at the weekends which are quite noisy when you want to relax. We didn’t enjoy the hotels beach bar as they were very slow. Otherwise all was good.
The resort is extremely well run and Proffesional. All the staff were excellent as was our garden room. Congratulations to the gardening team as well as they work tirelessly and the grounds are very well Maintained. The location is good and there are about 5 beach bars/restaurants within a 10 walking distance. The breakfast was very good but they could do with a few more tables outside .the pool area is lovely.
