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...).

NetherlandsWe were lucky to get a room so last minute, it was fully booked. I missed a chair in the room itself, as i like to sit and read, or do some writing. The shower was nice and hot. A bit weird was the location of the cold shower, next to the hot shower with a protruding cold water tap (almost sticking into your ass when you try to shower without watering the entire washroom). But that is a detail that probably arose with the maintenance that bathrooms require over time. Very positive overall.
Good food, nice location, atmosphere, camp fire, nice pool, well trained accomodating staff that is really servicing it’s guests.

BelgiumThat we could only stay 1 night :-) Nothing negative comes to mind but if we could suggest 1 thing, it would be a light fixture in the area with the cooker and vault and refrigerator
Great location right next to the beach. The hotel is made up of separate small buildings, each room has its own porch and seating area. Cosy outdoor restaurant with great chef. The beach is kept clean daily by hotel staff.

United KingdomThe key fob holder for the electrics for the room was a bit too far away from the door and in the dark you need a torch to find it. The resort is not signposted and Google maps tries to take you on some narrow dirt track when you’re close the resort, use the map to manually navigate to the resort.
The resort was very serene, a calm get away from the busy world. The rooms were very specious and very comfortable, with modern decor and facilities. There weren’t many villas so not crowded with guests. The pool was a good size and looked out onto the beach. The beach was less than 100 meters past the pool. Nimal and the rest of the staff were fantastic, very attentive. The food, while limited in variety was extremely delicious. With young children it’s hard to go out for dinner so we usually just eat in the resort, the Thai dishes were so flavoursome and their vegetable lasagne was a hit with everyone. Likewise breakfast is bountiful and the coffee on point. Nimal makes a great cappuccino. Would highly recommend this hotel if people want to get away from it all. There are no TVs. The patio furniture is great for lounging and relaxing though bring mosquito repellent.

Sri LankaI had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, offering a great variety of dishes. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience warm and welcoming. However, I felt that the room facilities were a bit lacking compared to the price. Additionally, the beach was beautiful. Overall, a good stay with a few improvements needed.

United KingdomOne of the chalets was older and needed refurbishment. This was reflowing the price but even so it wasn’t as comfortable and unfortunately had a lingering smell…
The location is amazing! A beautiful swimming pool and then a few steps to an unspoiled beach. The owners and staff were really helpful and welcoming. They organised a boat to take us to Pigeon Island and the snorkelling was fantastic. We were really close to the reef sharks and several big sea turtles as well as a variety of fish. This was one of the highlights of our holiday. We also really enjoyed the food here. It was a bit expensive but fresh and delicious.

ItalyWe spent four unforgettable days at this stunning resort, where the atmosphere is filled with peace and serenity, perfect for those seeking relax and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by all the staff. The owner and his family made us feel at home, demonstrating a rare level of hospitality and kindness. The resort offers a beautiful pool and a wonderful private beach, where at times it feels like having a personal piece of paradise. Our room was spacious and clean. One of the highlights is certainly the cuisine: we enjoyed every meal, thanks to delicious dishes prepared with fresh and selected ingredients.

United StatesIt's hard to explain what a special place this is. Marc and his staff have created a place that feels like a better version of a family vacation home. The villas were lovely and very clean. We particularly liked the outdoor patio with comfortable seating. There is an open air restaurant in the center with delicious food and drinks. Guests gather at meal times. There is an incredible breakfast buffet and menu options to choose from at other meals. The pool was so nice and relaxing but the beach was the highlight by far. It was incredible to be able to enjoy this gorgeous beach and have it almost all to ourselves. There were no crowds at all and the beach was kept impeccably clean. We loved our stay and hope to be able to return again someday.
