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...).

United Arab EmiratesThey have the most helpful and courteous staff. Special Mention to the GM Wayne and Restaurant Manager Chaminda The Breakfast and all food at Crystal Sands is on point. The Tempest Restaurant on the roof top serves up excellent Sri-Lankan inspired Tapas and we were able to witness the most magical sunset. The Apartments are absolutely perfect and spacious and having a plunge pool in our balcony was an absolute treat!

Sri LankaThe booking advertised on booking.com mentioned that im booking a 2bed apartment with a kitchen. But upon completion of the booking we were told one bedroom is going to be locked as only two adults were coming. We booked the two bedroom apartment as opposed to the one bedroom was as we had two toddlers and we needed both the rooms. It consumed time and unnecessary talk and negotiation happened to get them to keep it opened. The cooker hob was disconnected due the short stay (one night stay) which didnt me tion on the booking.com website or on the crystal sands website. We did NOT get access to cook in the pantry for our kids. We originally booked crystal sands because its an apartment and not a room. But basically it worked like a room with a bunch of cupboards and a sink. Our child is very picky when it comes to food and need the particularkind of pasta boiled in a very specific manner , as a result of not having the cooker hob our elder son could not eat. We were asked to order kids meal from the kitchen and thought we mentioned how it has to be cooked when it came it was dry. In short we were inconvenienced by not having the cooker and not having a pot. Next time we will only book it if we have a kitchen. The pool, living area floor was not clean. Pool took about an hour or two to clean after we checked in. Living area was not mopped well though we asked to. We wore bedroom slippers but kids ran around with dirty feet and got on the beds too. The floor is rough tiled so they have to do a little extra mopping to get the dirt out. But they just drag the mopper around and say it’s clean. Pool heaters were not working we were told. Though it was a jacuzzi we could not use it at night as it had cold water. 25celcius outside at night. We liked that the beds were comfortable, nice views and beach access. Food was really good too. No child pool or child recreation activity except the beach playtime.
The location very close to the beach with good access to beach was wonderful.

QatarLocation is a little tricky, it’s far from the market and there’s nothing to do outside the property. Swimming pool very small and in the restaurant with no place to sun bathe or lie down. Rooms are much smaller than how it looked in the pictures on booking. They don’t have inhouse spa therapists but they are on call and they bring them from outside upon request. Room rate is too expensive for what you get.
The food was great.

AustraliaNo privacy at swimming pool. Had to walk through the restaurant which was awkward . Front desk operation is chaotic . There is was no kitchen utensils and cutlery and crockery . Had to ask for them . Beach was rough and definitely would not recommend parents to let children wade into water . The hotel had a stench from sewerage on our check in . It was not rectified satisfactorily even when we checked out . The smell reached the plunge pool area in the second floor . It was poorly managed .
Friendly staff. Some of them went out of their way to help.
