Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Friendliness of staff was exceptional - always with a smile and willing to help. Loved the designing and the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. Rooms were large and comfortable and buffet had variety of food options. Live music in the evening, walking paths, beautiful beach, well maintained pools, nice spa, gaming activities and a library - there was something for everyone ! Hotel was busy proving to be popular with tourists. Highly recommend this hotel!

ThailandDisrespectful and unfriendly front office manager and staff. From the time I arrived to the lobby. Wasnt provided a welcome drink and towel while other non solo travelers were attended too. Had to carry my own bags to the room. The front office manager was the worst employee I've ever dealt with and was extremely rude. Tried to over charge me for meals and came up with some nonsense explanation which has nothing to do with the guest blaiming the head office. when i made a noise regarding it so other guests could hear he asked me what i want just to shut me up. Extremely unprofessional and sadly this hotel has lost its way especially with staff. Same menu everyday for breakfast which was boring.
The Spa and how well the treatments were. Extremely professional and friendly. Highly recommended spa👌 hotel room was comfy and the toilet was good especially the shower.

CyprusUnfortunately on arrival their was a big group who had just arrived after us , with screaming kids running around and disregarding any other guest of the hotel, but this is not the hotels fault.
The hotel lobby is just breath taking, this hotel was chosen as a relaxation stop , which really did that, Our room was facing the sea in the first building what a super view we could hear the waves crashing on the shore, Had a great meal then went to listen to the saxophone player at the Bar he was superb what a talent, Their was also an artist selling his paintings so purchased 2 as it was his last night their .Breakfast was plentiful something for everyone , my son even managed a massage before we left. Thank you for the experience.

United KingdomI have stayed at the hotel a number of times, but this was the first time in approx 13 years. The hotel is looking a bit tired and needs more money/investment. Whilst the staff are generally good and try, the quality of the staff is not as good as it used to be, which does affect the experience. I tried to extend my stay by a night at the reception desk, to be told I needed to do this via Booking.com. The price I paid was cheaper than the price I had paid via the hotel's website.
The hotel is generally good, with good food and is in a great location/setting. The pools were well maintained and weren't over crowded, and are safe for younger children. The architecture of the hotel is still impressive.

AustraliaLift is broken. Only 1 lift for the whole hotel. Elderly cannot climb the stairs. Booked 3 people room for 3 of us., but in there only 2 cups available. Hair dryer not working. No milk( even small complimentary 1) in the fridge. When I call the reception, they said they will fill the bar with some charges. Normally some milk is there in the fridge in the other hotels as complimentary,even a small pack.

United Arab EmiratesThey didn’t have a kids pool which was inconvenient as I have an infant and toddler.
We booked the luxury suite and premium room. We were given special treatment which was incredibly nice as I had an infant and toddler. The staff were super friendly and cooperative. The rooms were very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. The pool and beach was just amazing!

NorwayThere was some maintenance going on, so got woken up in the morning by loud noises a few times. I wish they could inform me in advance.
The location right next to the big and almost empty beach was magnificent. The experience at the spa was great, Prima gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had and you can tell she has a medical background. If you stay at this hotel, you should definitely get a massage. Chef Heshan and his team made the best meals. Absolutely amazing food! Love this place and I would love to come back.

CanadaI was not a fan of local sellers at the beach trying to sell us stuff even when we said no and they kept following us but it's a public beach and not in the hotel's control. The internet was also a bit spotty inside the rooms.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool was great and the public beach is nice. The hotel's food was the best part and the restaurant's options were excellent.
