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...).

TurkeyThe breakfast is not that great but it is not the worst. The hairdryer was old and did not really work as it should. The room was not very well equipped with necessities. We requested a double bed numerous times but we still ended up getting two single beds stuck together, so that was uncomfortable.
The staff was super kind and ready to help (they deserve a raise!!!). The hotel is by the sea and the view was amazing ( we had the sea view room).

ItalyIn some parts of the restaurant, the AC was too high; it was freezing. There are too few elevators in my opinion, as they were very slow to come.
We loved everything! The room had just about anything you needed, and the view from the room was amazing. The buffet was always different, and it was not hard to find a table to sit. There's an incredible terrace where you can enjoy the view. I loved the pools—salt water but nice temperature. The spa is also decent.

RomaniaThe hotel is a a bit far away from the main attractions of the island, however close to Gozo and Comino, Blue lagoon. The public transport is not the best, so renting a car might be very convenient to be able to explore more. Otherwise, great hotel!
Beautiful room with sea view, great food, friendly staff. Loved the swimming pools as well.

MaltaDuring our recent stay at the Riviera Labranda Hotel, we had the pleasure of being assisted by Martin Sapiano, the guest manager, who truly made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Martin went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. What really stood out was Martin's genuine passion for his job. His professionalism, coupled with his friendly and approachable demeanor, made us feel like valued guests, not just another booking. The Riviera Labranda Hotel itself was lovely, with beautiful amenities and a great location, but it was Martin's exceptional service that truly made our trip special. We are grateful for his efforts and will definitely be returning, thanks in large part to the wonderful experience he provided. Thank you, Martin, for making our stay so memorable. We highly recommend Riviera Labranda Hotel to anyone visiting the area and can't wait to return!

MaltaTwo nights passed by in a blink of an eye but for a family of 4, price wise it is a bit on the high side.
We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is clean and the staff very helpful. The food, if it was for breakfast or dinner it was always very good with lots of options to choose from. My son who is a picky eater and never gets to eat anything found his favourite chicken nuggets and chips! It is a nice hotel were to stay and cut a bit from the hassle and bustle of the city and everyday routine. I definitely recommend it.

NetherlandsI missed some shelves or hooks in the bathroom to hang my stuff and I think the shower should be closed with the shower cabin, to avoid the floor being constantly wet and very slippery. The little fridge in the bedroom was not working properly unfortunately. But besides these little details, the rest was once again marvellous.
This is not an hotel, this is wonderland! How is it possible that in such a big hotel with so many workers, every single person is incredibly kind, helpful, always smiling, this means that on top of everything there is a very attentive, good and wise person. This should be so obvious, if one treats their workers with respect they will only spread around positive energy. Thinking that we are leaving tomorrow makes me feel really emotional, I will Miss the Oasis in the desert and all the people working here. A big thank to the cleaners, the receptionist, the very professional, attentive and sweet ladies at the spa, the two lovely and really good photographers, the guys from the animation, by the way I never liked to join any kind activities in a hotel, but with them it has been pure 100% fun. I Thank all the cooks, the waiters, the bartenders. I hope I didn't forget someone, in that case, once again thank you for this amazing experience that will always remain in our memories ❤️We will miss you all❤️And we hope to have the opportunity to comeback very soon. Dankjewel,gracias,thank you, grazie, obrigado! The hotel Is really elegant and beautiful, perfect location full of peace, very clean, big bedrooms, comfortable beds. In the hotel one can find water disposal everywhere and this is really a great idea, especially thinking that in Malta is always really hot. The food is also very good and affordable.
