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...).

Belgium1) At times the private beach became the arrival spot for Jetski tours which means that 6-7 Jetskis would have their pit stop right in front of you.. would be great to have a dedicated Jetski corner or redirect them. 2) The Spa could be slightly cleaner (especially the floor of the ladies’s changing room). 3) It would be great to have shuttles offered to you since the hotel is slight secluded. This would help non-car drivers move without the hassle of the public transportation.
We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful hotel and loved it. What we loved most: • the cleanliness of our room (sea view room) + a tiny kitchen which is a great idea to include; • the breakfast: very delicious and everything you need to start your day right (being coffee lovers the coffee could be a bit more delicious.. not only by machine); • the beach: we loved the seats and of course the crystal blue water - a dream! • boat tour: we decided to go on the 3 islands boat tour offered in the water sports corner and really enjoyed i; • the service: everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly. • my birthday surprise 🎉🥳 my boyfriend mentioned that we’ll arrive to the hotel on my birthday and we were welcomed with the most amazing cake in our room 🥰 thank you to the team for this thoughtful gesture. Transportation We arrived with the taxi service Bolt which was very comfortable.

DenmarkReally nice, but quite large hotel, with nice facilities, a beautiful view, beautiful pool areas and a nice beach. Kayaks, sup, and jet skis are rented, the price was on the expensive end, several 5+ hotels offer it for free or at a low price, to their guests. The hotel’s restaurants have a large selection, as well as room service. Everything appears clean and delicious, and the majority of the staff appeared friendly and welcoming. Henri, who met us when we arrived, was really funny and charming, and very serviceminded. Only minus during our stay was the overly loud music that was played every other day, with monotonous bass rhythm that totally pollutes the atmosphere on the beach, and made it difficult to talk together (unless you shouted) -there were even played from two different facilities close together so that the music flowed on top of each other. Several families with children left the beach due to the music, despite friendly requests from several of the guests to the pool bar, there was no turning down! Maybe a minor thing, but still to great annoyance, and reason why we might want to opt out of this hotel another time! Holidays on a beach are for us coziness and ripples, and if there is to be music, it must be subdued and harmonious rhythms, not hammering disco rhythms. Another thing we missed was smoking areas, as non-smokers are the nuisance of sitting between smokers, both by the pool and on the beach. But all in all, a fine hotel with a great location, delicious facilities and a high level of service.

United KingdomThe customer service in the bars and restaurants in the hotel was awful at times and really let the hotel down. The mocha lounge bar was particularly poor in service. The staff appeared uninterested in serving you and it was difficult to place orders for food or drinks, without having to seek staff out.
The hotel was lovely and our room was exceptional as we were given a penthouse suite overlooking the sea. Everywhere was clean and I cannot fault the hotel

SwitzerlandThe spa area (indoor swimming pool and sauna) were dirty and crowded. Full of screaming kids and people who dis not know how to use the facilities (i.e. teenagers going out from the sauna directly in the pool). I think the area needs staff supervision, or should not be called spa
Excellent location and private beach is a must during crowded summer months. Rich breakfast. I had an amazing massage! A bit pricy but worth!

MaltaWe were not given the room that we had booked however when I called reception it was dealt with efficiently. Also the Food Menu and Drinks Menu is replicated both at the Mokka, Swizzler and the Room Service menu making it a bit boring.
The hotel has a Seaview that is hard to beat ! There is a good breakfast selection, bed very very comfortable and staff are very helpful. The restaurant Essence of India is fantastic, the food is superb with excellent service.

SloveniaWe liked everything. Maybe the hotel could use some renovation, but all in all the rooms were very clean and everything was functional and very well preserved.
We really liked the friendliness of the staff, the location, the cleanliness of the rooms and all the options that the facilities offer. We would recommend Radison Blu to anyone visiting Malta and Golden bay.

RomaniaI didn't like the lack of attention of some of the staff. I did order room service once and along with the meals I asked for a very cold regular local beer. I got instead a warm lemon flavoured beer and when I called back reception to replace it, they never answered the phone nor they called back.
I liked the location right on the beach, the size of the suite we had and the food at the Indian restaurant.
