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...).

The spa zone was perfect, we enjoyed so much our time in swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Very good Wifi Thank you for providing accomodation much earlier than the check in time! It was so much appreciated.

BelgiumThere are small things that could be improved, the restaurants are catered to english taste so there were fish and chips, burger, curry, kebab on some of the restaurant menus. However the Mediterranean restaurant was serving a more refined menu. The wine on the menu was good but there was not too much choice, and the cocktails were quite sweet and not too sophisticated. Overall the food and drinks were not as refined as in other 4* hotels I have visited, however the price was more affordable which was a nice suprise. Sometimes at breakfast the staff were very busy and forgot to serve tea and coffee to all of the customers. In addition for some reason the toilet paper was quite poor quality for a 5* hotel, but here I am really naming the only problems I encountered at all during my stay, so overall it was a really positive experience and I would highly recommend.
The breakfast buffet is great, and there is an option to sit outside on the terrace in the sun which was glorious. The staff are very professional and polite. The location is good and the facilities are magnificent. There are shuttle buses planned to major tourist destinations for a good price. There was a full program for children/ families during the day to keep children entertained, however I did not feel like there were too many children in the hotel, so this did not disturb my holiday. The restaurants were good overall.

United KingdomNothing - the only thing that could be slightly improved is the access to the Park tal-majistral - requires a slightly convoluted route around the camp to reach it but really an excellent hotel.
An exceptional hotel with everything you could require for a relaxing holiday. Food was excellent and the location was amazing. Sauna overlooking the cliffs is an absolutely phenomenal place to relax. Staff were very welcoming and overall delivered an excellent stay.

United KingdomWe booked the suite which came with equipped kitchen. Facility in the hotel - you have a deli shop for small grocery requirement like water, milk, fruits etc. there is an indoor and outdoor pool and kids loved it. There is also a gym which was functional and had good equipments. Breakfast - gentleman (Henry) at the breakfast entrance was very passionate about client experience. Staff really took good care of us during breakfast and there were lot of options available. Location - It’s located next to Golden Bay Sands beach. It also has a private beach and sun beds are free for the hotel guests. These sun beds are managed by Med Asia restaurant. There are also some gazebos available which have some minimum spend charges against them (€40 during weekday and €80 during weekends / bank holidays). Staff - we always came back to a clean room and the cleaning staff was as very professional and nice. We received a handwritten note from the cleaning staff, Prakash which was very nice personal touch. Whenever we asked for some extra service like tea bags and milk, it was fulfilled promptly. Reception - people at reception were always ready to help and explain the details.

BelgiumService at the Mokka and Lagoon bars are poorly organised, waiters very slow not knowing what to prioritize. At the pool bar, there was no table number so staff did not know who ordered what.

The staff at this hotel made our stay as comfortable as possible. Very comfortable rooms but what made this even better was the beach was only downstairs. The hotel is exceptionally clean and has great amenities such as a spa and gym. I will definitely come back to this hotel!
