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.).

Canada(We were in #222). Room safe isn’t bolted down. Balcony door couldn’t be locked (bent screws); mentioned this to front desk who said they’d send someone from maintenance (never did). Lighting in the HUGE bathroom was abysmal, had to use mirror in bedroom area. No shelving or hooks in bathroom so toiletry bags sat on the floor. Bed linens were fine, unfortunately mattress needed to be replaced a decade ago (about as comfy as a yoga mat, not kidding). Our room had a pool view so we went to the lobby to have a drink and to enjoy the sea view. Unfortunately the advertised “live” lobby music was a dreadlocked DJ playing excessively loud R&B; people had to talk loudly to each other, and with kids tearing around and a crying baby, the whole lobby experience was an unbearable din (no wonder workers at front desk looked cranky). Elevators ridiculously slow so we used the stairs instead, as did others.
Location was great. Breakfast buffet was enormous! Front desk agent at checkout was pleasant.

MaltaThe hotel's idea of an upgrade may not be to everyone's taste as from a pool view we got upgraded to a partial seaview with a view of cranes and building construction from a hotel across the road. The bathroom design was clearly done by a toddler as the wc was crammed into the shower, move too much and you can smash the shower door 😅
Hotel is quiet and clean. Quite busy for this time of year but we used all facilities. Food in the Mirasol buffet breakfast & dinner was ample and varied and wsit staff very attentive. The indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna were fine and not busy when we used them. For the price its good value.

United KingdomEverything, appalling organisation, staff in restaurant were rude, food bad 4 star rating is a joke Complete wast of money, I can't express how bad this hotel has become, this is our third time staying at this hotel and the last I want a refund
The hotel was over crowded, we had to que for breakfast and dinner and were left for twenty five minutes trying to find a table after we had qued to get in. Rude staff who shouted at you and food that when we could finally get to it was sub standard Cleaners knocking on your room despite do not disturb sign and loud noise from cleaning at 7.e0 am, heating in the hotel was so high it was permanently uncomfortable, mattresses in the corridors Unable to use the pool and spa as cull to the point of being unsafe, bars and lounges close Shocking waste of money

MaltaWe chose it because of the indoor pool and spa facilities. It was very busy with families and children jumping off the side constantly in spite of written warnings. No one was policing it. There were hardly any sunbeds as most had apparently been removed for the weekend. We saw them being brought in again late sunday afternoon! The jacuzzi was “not working” either. The sauna was nice.
We spent two nights there. First impressions….we were only given our room key at 3pm….which was the time of check in and not before. The room was a long way from the lift unfortunately… as i currently have limited mobility…..then the key didnt work. When we eventually got in, the bed was not a double as requested. It was 4.30pm before we could eventually have a rest. Food was really good. Staff was helpful especially cleaning staff

MaltaBreakfast selection was everyday the same even on christmas day. Dogs were all allocated next to each which may have lead to serious consequences. Pool need some maintenance. Some tiles were becoming detached while walking over them. No bathrooms found directly in the indoor pool area. One have to go near the reception lifts to use the bathroom. Pets rate should be lower (Additional €25/night is a bit expensive).
Pets allowed (not pet friendly) Food was fine Beds were comfortable Cocktails were good

United KingdomI have to agree with other reviews and say this is not a 4 star hotel. It is 3 star. We had booked a superior half board room, but it definitely wasn’t what you’d expect in a 4 star hotel. There was no shower gel or robes or anything extra. The food was okay, what you would expect in a 3 star. The coffee is horrible. Breakfast was absolutely packed. Both mornings, we had to clear our own table and find cutlery ourselves. Dinner was a little less busy. You have to sit and wait to order drinks and both nights we had to wait about 15 mins and then had to call someone over. I suspect they do not have enough staff. However, staff were polite.The room was cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for! Also, there was building work right outside our balcony on the jetty- lots of banging and drilling.
We had a room with a sea view and balcony. The view was stunning. The room was very large.
