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.).

The service and personal is very professional and friendly. Area is good offering a beach just nearby and the swimming pool inside the hotel is just breathtaking with a memorable sunset view to make a romantic stay. Breakfast is good offering variety of choices, same goes for dinner a la carte, it was tasty with a very good service.

Czech RepublicThe property has a beautiful beach. The only plus of this hotel. Everything else is at a weak level. The furniture and appliances are old. The service is very weak: we waited for the breakfast for exactly an hour, as a result, they brought us a small fried egg with 1 sausage! For 122 euros (with breakfast) for 2 in low season, it's ridiculous. Then I raised the whole hotel's ears in search of an adapter for my hair dryer: 15 minutes of washing, conversations with the administration and eventually they found an adapter. The staff is polite, everyone tries their best. But obviously, the hotel has not invested in its own attractiveness for a long time. The real price could be 2 times lower, then we could say that the combination of price and services is adequate.

SingaporeInitially we found the staff not very welcoming … but after 5 mins of warming up .. we were greeted with very lovely smiles..
Near the airport for our layover… sea view 2 bedroom ( room 205 ) .. half board meals.. paying only for drinks for dinner. Breakfast includes eggs and drinks, no extra payment required. Room was fantastic…suitable for our family. With one double bed room , and another twin room. We find the place clean and comfortable and definitely value for the amount paid.

South AfricaMy room was next to the reception area. Very noisy in the evenings and the sound and voices of the staff echoes into the room. Was very unpleasant. I complained daily to the reception and eventually I was move to another room on the 7th. So at least 2 nights of peace and quietness.
The location was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful (Except the cook and one security guard, very rude).

AustraliaIt would be good if transport to the airport could be arranged as we were cheated at the airport by an immigration officer whose relative charged us far too much to get to our accomodation. The bed could have been more comfortable.
The service was excellent, the staff extremely friendly and the view was fantastic. The staff went the extra mile and helped with our stay in many different ways and the food in the restaurant was delicious!!

SpainThere was a festival going on, which no one told us about and the music was very loud, the rooms have no isolation so it was like the festival was inside our room. There were also a lot of drunk people (guests and no guests) So if you go there in the days there is this festival (once a month) you will have to have dinner there and forget about going to sleep till they are done.

MauritiusThe hotel is really past its sell-by date. It is in such poor condition, and the maintenance they seem to have done is really bad. We had a bathroom with a toilet that is loose from the floor, and it leaked badly. One was too scared to sit on it!
Excellent location only. The view is beautiful.

United KingdomUnfortunately there were many things wrong. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone as it is. The beach isn't a white sandy beach as seen in the photos. It is full of black rocks that you need to climb over to get to the beach on the left and it's all fallen down on the right and again not much sand and full of rocks. We stayed on an all inclusive rate and the meal times were always stressful. We waited an hour for starters. What food did come out was not of high quality. It was overcooked and not very warm. Our chocolate Fondant was like rubber. There wasn't much choice and you were lucky if they had what was on the menu. There seemed to be lots of issues with the staff, either new and needed training or not enough staff to cope. The rooms needed refurbishing especially the bathrooms. I would urge anyone to think twice before booking this hotel. There are other hotels in the area for much less that offer a much better experience.
There weren't many positives about our stay apart from Ryan who was a very helpful member of the reception staff.

South AfricaThat the management had responded to the bad reviews on booking.com saying that they will fix things others have mentioned in reviews as a let down, however have not done so. I have the same complaints as the other bad reviews- mouldy bathrooms, unclean (squashed mosquitoes on the walls that hadn't been cleaned, disgusting windows), not nice food food, food was expensive, e very basic thing i asked for "oh we dont have that" (e.g. beach towel, take away food container) The staff are obviously overworked (although I want to make it clear NO one complained)... I could see they were on the late night shift then on the super early shift the following day so would get max 2-3hrs sleep which seems inhumane. Things need to change from upper management as the staff are obviously working with limited resources. Too much was promised that was not delivered by the photos and descriptions.
I feel bad writing a bad review as the staff were all lovely and I know their livelihoods depend on it but it really was a let down.
