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...).

IrelandQuality of food varies dramatically - on our first night the food was delicious, on the second night one order was wrong and the other dish was cold. We were overcharged on checkout until we pointed it out and received the overcharge back in cash.
Clean dorms. Each bed has a fan and locker. Lakeside location is beautiful. Nice staff. Great value for the price

United KingdomThe bin in the bathroom was not emptied the whole time we were there which considering you cannot put paper in the loo is unpleasant. There are very few places nearby for food and the restaurant food is ok but there are always 6 waiting staff stood around who seem determined to ignore people wanting to order. There was usually only one waiter with a headset who was running round doing everything while the others chatted (give him a raise!).
View over the lake is beautiful! There are rubber rings and kayaks you can use and lots of chairs and hammocks to relax it. The room was clean and quiet and the Wi-Fi was good. There are lots of different areas to relax in and they helped to organise tours for us. We had breakfast included and it was very good.

United StatesNot great for those with mobility issue, too many steps/stairs. Would have loved bathrooms closer to the beach access and bar. Bar closes at 9:30pm. Beach may be a bit overcrowded at the most popular times.
Beautiful location with great views and beach access to the lagoon! Bar and restaurant were great both in price and quality, not to mention the staff was friendly and accomodating. Good mix of locals, solo travelers, and groups.

GermanyPretty pricy, not many food options or common area (not a hostel). Coffee available, but not tasty (for me, sorry) The non AC rooms are just unbearable, sorry, again, personal. With AC double the price (70$/pp/night) Not enough showers - none down by the lake and neither bathrooms LOTS OF STAIRS
What a location, great resort with pretty traditional buildings and lots of plants and flowers, hammock area I der palm trees, so open, so spacious, lots of sitting areas with tables and chairs, plenty of sun chairs , enough shade , great pantoon in the lake.

GermanyFood and drinks are very expensive compared to other places and there are not many possibilities around to eat cheaper. Also it is very expensive to get away when you would like to be flexible with the times (Chickenbus only three times a day plus shuttle to oasis in the afternoon).
Beautiful place at the laguna to hang out and chill, swim and kayaking.

Very chill location! Dorms are very modern and you have your own space, it doesnt feel like 10 bed dorms. Service was really good, friendly and helpful. Got a free beer because of the noises of the construction. The food was a bit more pricy then usualy but for that big portions and good quality!
