Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The buffet breakfast and the buffet dinner were great. They allowed us to check in 30mins before the stipulated time..not the usual at this Hotel, so we appreciated that a lot.

There were too many people in the pool which had a strong chlorine smell so I did not use it. The heating in the room was not on so the staff provided a heater and we also asked for more blankets.
The location is tranquil, the room was clean and the breakfast was very good and abundant.

Only a few very, very minor things we would have improved, like a corkscrew missing from the room so we couldn’t open the complimentary wine (also only available in red). Spa is good, if a little pricey, and appears to be undergoing an update; the jacuzzi requires a reservation but wasn’t working, it was just a warm bath, a steam room was out of order and the other was a little cold. It But the overall experience at the hotel was excellent. Truly. Well done!
I would book here again without hesitation. The hotel was great value for money, the staff wonderful and the range of facilities superb. The room was modern, comfortable and clean. Comfortable and light. Breakfast buffet is vast and great quality. Pinsas at the à la carte restaurant to die for!

I asked for a double bed but was given two single beds which in turn were put separately from each other.
The initiative of less plastic use by the elimination of plastic bottles from the rooms substituting them with a water dispenser.

The male receptionist wasn't very friendly, the fact that he doesn't make you feel welcome puts me off a bit. We did a massage at the carisma spa and paid over €200, you should atleast consider some discounts for in hotel guests. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again.
The room was nice with a great view. Breakfast was excellent with a large variety to choose from. The bar men were really nice and did very good cocktails.

One day we had dried mud at the entrance of our room from our shooes left after rainy day. I've put the sign to clean the room up, but the floor wasn't touched. We were at the floor 1 where a longe zone was also placed, and there was loud music every evening until around 11:00pm, which was sometimes annoying when you want to go to bed earlier.
Very nice place at the corner of the island. Excellent breakfast and especially dinner with buffet and very tasty food. The hotel also has outer and inner pools together with sauna and gym free of charge. The staff is very nice.

would have been nice to have a more cosy or upscale alarm carte restaurant as an alternative to the buffet. There wad another option but it was also similar decor and feel to the other area. Rooms were a bit warm.
