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...).

SwitzerlandThe shared kitchen is poorly equipped and not very practical, specially not as a family.
We had a great time with our Family with two Kids. The Room had air conditioning and Fans, everything was clean and the nights quiet. We enjoyed the pool and the sea right in front. The restaurant had good food as well.

IsraelThe were some issues with the WiFi - sometimes the connection was off but most of the time it worked fine. And I wish there was a larger dining table in the kitchen (especially needed for people who stay at the dorms and have less space to eat at.
The dorms are amazing! Nicely furnished and decorated, very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is beautiful too, well equipped and really comfortable for cooking. Of course there is a restaurant that has a really good selection and great food! The staff is very friendly! + You must try the Yoga classes with Roni (the Yoga & Pilates instructor) she is amazing!

IsraelThe kitchen is amazing however would be nice to have a larger dining table and more chairs as some times (at the rush hour of lunch and dinner) it is occupied by people and need to wait in order to seat and eat properly :)
The rooms are very comfortable (the dorms and the private rooms), nicely designed and clean. Roni is an amazing Yoga Instructor! Definitely recommend! The staff is friendly and the restaurant has a nice selection of food and a really good one 😊 + there is a nice kitchen if you want to cook some food for yourself.

United StatesNothing! I loved.
What a place! I really enjoyed my stay at Beach Break. The location is perfect; right on the beach next to awesome waves. Their restaurant is really tasty. There is also a kitchen on site if you want to cook as well as a gym and an area to do yoga. I love how they have hammocks hanging in front of each room!

United StatesHonestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Everything was great.
The location is just perfect! A few meters from the beach, you can see the waves from looking outside of your window. The Hammocks are super nice, the staff are helpful and nice. All the facilities that Beach Break provides are great, and the restaurant is a nice place to sit and chill. We took a few surf lessons and rented boards - everyone was nice to us and helped us with anything we needed. Can say anything bad.

NetherlandsLittle bit expensive if you compare it with other accommodations in the surrounding area. But its a more quiet place than the cheaper ones. So if you like a quiet surrounding and dont mind paying the extra buck, go for this one.
Super nice location, friendly staff and nice bed!

United StatesMore sun beds would be ideal! Also it wasn’t a huge deal but two days passed without housekeeping stopping by, which is noticeable with a room of 6 people
I loved my stay at Beach Break (my dorm mates ended up being amazing. Dorm 4 Didn’t Snore :) but also it was lovely being directly on the beach. Comfy beds, plenty of space to hang out, and kind staff members.
