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...).

Everything was great! Excellent breakfast. Kids loved the indoor pool. Great location - many shops and restaurants around. Family room was spacious and comfortable - for a family of 5 it’s not that often. Highly recommended!

AustraliaPoor communication both before we arrived, during and after we left both with us and between staff. We would be told one thing by one staff member and told another by someone else to sort our small issues (eg. Bedding setup, tv that wasn’t working). This made the stay more stressful than it should have been.
Great pools and outlook. Room was nicely furnished and new. Breakfasts were good.

MaltaBefore booking I checked on booking.com if their is a indoor play area and Yes their was written that the hotel has an indoor play area, but then when we got their we didn’t find any indoor play area which was super disappointing for my toddler! There was a small kids club but it was closed all of the time. Also the indoor pool was cold and the edges of the pool were super sharp and my son got hurt with them while going into the pool.
Every thing was super nice! All staff was very helpful ❤️ Breakfast buffet was delicious!

MaltaPeople tend to reserve the sunbeds early by placing a towel on them and not turnup to them until later in the afternoon. Which should be managed better.
Large and Spacious Room to accomodate a family of 4. Bathroom and Shower spacious. Breakfast had an incredibly various selecctions of bread, english b'fast, pastries, sweets, fruit, vegetables. The Dolmen in the middle of the Hotel is impressive in itself. Two pools, one more "modern" than the other.

United KingdomApart from some minor food quibbles above, it was frustrating that umbrellas could not be used on most days around the pools because of the wind (which was not the hotel's fault) but it meant use of the indoor (heated) swimming pool which became a favourite of the grandson. You definitely need higher bar stools around the bar in the lounge! The nightly entertainment was pretty good, but a few of them should be encouraged to engage more with the audience.
The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom facilities were equally modern and easy to use. Cleaning and servicing was regular and efficient. The breakfast buffet was extensive, if rather repetitive and could do with some variety such as omelettes. The scrambled egg could usually also do with a bit more cooking, while some of the bacon could be more crisply cooked for those that prefer it that way. But minor niggles. The evening buffet also had wide choices and did offer more variety on different nights. It was also incredibly good value, given the inclusion of wine and beer in the price and no charge for young kids. The location was great with plenty on offer in easy walking distance (I must mention the Nine Lives restaurant in front of the hotel, which was excellent) and other features easily accessible by bus or reasonable taxi prices. Lastly the staff were all great and always helpful and smiling.

MaltaThe fitness room is very small and limited. For a 4 Star Hotel I would have expected a larger facility and more equipment. In this room you can only find 1 Bicycle and 1 Treadmill for a hotel with over 400 rooms. No TV's, no sanitising liquids, no replenishment of water in 3 days. Fitness Room needs attention!
All was to our pleasure. TV Channels have poor reception.
