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.).

PolandVery nice boutique hotel. Got a very spacious ground floor room with big bathroom and own terrace in front of the room. I think a room upgrade. Good restaurant on site. Weather was not supportive much to use swimming pool but it looked nice and must be a plus on sunny day. Direct beach access, but no walking on the beach really as it is short ending with rocks on both sides.

Huge room with balcony, beach view, beautiful garden. The pool was also great. The bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and supportive, they speak English. The mask museum just 10 mins walk.

United KingdomWe suggested to the Drinks and Beverages Manager that it would be a great improvement to have a means of ordering drinks and snacks from the garden/pool area. At the time we stayed, the only way to order a drink or snack was to get up and go back into the reception area (not ideal). Hopefully they will find a way to make this happen which would not only help guests to relax but also offer an opportunity to create more revenue for the hotel. We also suggested the hotel provided a bin by the beach so guests could dispose of their own litter as well as anything they could collect from the beach to keep the beach area clean and safe - this they did immediately.
Our room was incredibly large with a huge balcony overlooking the beach which was amazing.The bed was comfortable and everything was kept clean by the housekeeping staff. The staff overall were very friendly and tried their very best to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They brought in wine for us to have with dinner and every day asked what we would like to have to eat. The garden leading down to the beach was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed seeing the kingfishers in the grounds every day, the waves crashing on the rocks in the sea and the absolute beauty of the outlook. We enjoyed dinner on our balcony three times and once in the garden and we loved walking along the beach to the only beach bar for lunch. The massages from the in-house masseuse were also a highlight of our stay here. Thoroughly recommend a stay at R Degrees and would go back in a heartbeat.

AustraliaThis is a wonderful boutique hotel, literally on the most stunning stretch of beach, a long golden stretch of sand and super quiet. All the staff were so hospitable and friendly. The rooms were large, bight and well appointed, the pool is gorgeous and there is lots of space to sit and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

United KingdomAs much as the food was excellent my advice would be to stick with the local cuisine options as these were far superior to international dishes.
This was a surprisingly good stay! As a small boutique hotel the staff were warm, attentive and welcoming. Check in was super easy and we were in our room within minutes. The room was newly furnishes with modern décor, large with good facilities. The large sliding doors opened onto a patio with a table and chairs and then walk out with access to the pool and beach areas. The pool was pleasant, the access to the beach is great with a private grassed area which you can relax on and then wonder on the public beach at your leisure. The beach was not at all busy and actually quite nice, although the sea was a little rough for leisurely swimming. The kitchen staff were accommodating, the food was excellent.

SwedenThere is much more to ask for when it comes to the kitchen. We stayed for many days, and the dinner options was almost the same every evening, with only slight variation. It is a pity that only ”western” food of average quality is offered, it would have been great with Sri Lankan food among the dinner alternatives. The breakfast could also have been better… The staff varied, some were attentive, while others were not.
The room was fantastic with a beautiful garden and ocean view. The location is great, with a quiet beach, far from all the turisty places. The pool is great and well maintained, so is the garden. As there are only 12 rooms the athmosphere is relaxing. In contrary to previous reviews, WiFi worked very well.

United KingdomFor us it was a bit too off the beaten track, although the food was good, it would have been nice to be able to have something different and there was nowhere else to go. Staff are lovely but can be a bit too attentive.
The hotel is clean, fresh and inviting, it has amazing views onto the beach, comfortable rooms and the staff are very attentive. Laksiri was a wonderful member of staff, who kept the balance perfect, of being helpful but not too over keen to please.
