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.).

United Kingdomdamp smell: all beach towels have odor. had a similar smell in the bedroom, but could not figure out where it was coming from
facilities: good, nice swimming pools, adults only area, small food shop within the hotel. beach: beautiful - the beast sandy beach in Malta, in my opinion. staff: nice, no issues. Food: a sufficient choice - asian, italian etc cuisines in the restaurants; tasty. take-away option available too. +/- Other observations/ neutral: breakfast was fine, tasty, but perhaps not enough variety for 5+day stays Activities: lots of them, but trips to the Blue Lagoon etc overpriced; tourist oriented, but basic with no value for money Beach: you will need beach shoes, as lots of stones for 2m or so when you enter the sea. also long stairs to the beach location - although beautiful, it is far away from other places. so plan in advance if you would like to go sightseeing etc: rent a car, bus option available but infrequent , hop on bus could be also an option!

HungaryThe hotel have many things to improve... as a 5* hotel these should have been solved long ago. Problems: 1. Airconditioning was smelly in the room. It should have been cleaned more frequently. Therefore the room was smelly. 2. No children play area... The indoor was closed, however we went there many times 3. Outdoor play area is a small tiny place.... On the sun...so we could not use it at all. 4. Showers would be nice to have next to the pool on the way up from the beach (I have found one only). 5. Beach is extamly cowded. Again if it would be a 3* hotel I would no complain. !!!But for a really expensive and 5*.. no.. that is not good. 6. The italian restaurant.. pizza was bad and we have waited a lot. Thez had a lot of emptz tables but htez had to chekc if thez have.. however before/after/during our dinner at least half of the tables were empty.
Location is nice. The pool was good. Also it is next to the see, so very comfortable location. Breakfast was nice. The staff was very kind and they did a great job.

MaltaAlthough once again the hotel lived up to it's expectations unfortunately this time an incident happened with a very rude staff member which ruined the holiday. Luckily it was on the last day but I doubt I'll be comfortable returning.
I've been spending a few days here every summer for the past 7 years because it was my ideal place to unwind without the stress of travelling. The various restaurants allow you to eat and drink in the resort without the hassle of driving and parking.

SwitzerlandThe whole pool area. No service at all and it seems that the pool is never cleaned as it is full of moss. No fresh juices for breakfast.
The location is good. There are enough parking spaces for a car and if you travel without a car, there are some bus stations nearby. Staff were mostly nice and kind, although there were some staff that was the opposite.

United KingdomQuite remote, needed to hire a car to visit other locations. Also wasn't disabled access to beach which was a shame as it was a blue flag beach and had a lift to beach restaurant but then steps down to the beach.
Location close to beach. Lift to beach. Nice pool, plenty of sunbeds. Great sea view, worth paying extra for it.

FranceWe are really disappointed with booking com You guys made our summer stay at Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands so tragic We book 2 rooms, 3 days, from Fri, 20 - 23/5, Monday When we arrived, there was no name on which we booked the Radisson Blu hotel, the staff tried searching for hours to find it. Sunday, 22/05 only 2 days, hotel staff called and knocked on the room door, while I was working, they kicked us out only 2 days. What a gloomy Sunday We need to advise you, because of what you did wrong to us Hope you've adjusted your way of working and hopefully, your customers won't have any of the same problems as we did today.

CanadaBest resort we have ever stayed at! We will definitely return in the future! Amenities like the sauna and getting food and drinks at the beach (and a reasonably priced massage package) were perfect after much travelling through Europe

United Kingdomsome guests treat staff shamefully. managers refuse to do anything to intervene leaving staff walking on egg shells. car parking charges ridiculous had to pay on checking out to go to airport. spent £2500 over the week and had to pay this. shame on Radisson. Starting to look dated. Room refurb would not go amiss.
Great location. Food fresh and tasty when you treat staff as human beings with feelings will go the extra mile for you.
