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...).

Netherlands+ the size of the room and the size of the bed. Great shower and pool is also fun. Nice staff - after being here last year, I hoped they improved their breakfast (after my review), but unfortunately it's still 1 egg with 2 ham and 2 toast. The staff doesn't even ask if you want that, but just bring it. What is really weird and at least you should have 2 or 3 options....coffee just powder, no brewed. No fruits available too, even dow we asked.... So if you don't like egg and ham, you are screwed. Room has a huge wall, but empty...no TV, no mirror or whatever. In the morning at 7am they will doing their dive bottles, but making this clinging sound when putting them together for almost 20min what woke us up unfortunately. If they would improve their breakfast, put a mirror in the wall and make sure it's quiet till 8am, this place would be perfect....3 simple things what doesn't cost any much money....

GermanyThe beach is close but the beach is not that nice. The sandy area is quite small and it’s not well maintained - that being said, this is just a note regarding the location.
Facility is great. The room is spacious and the bed is huge. The nice comforter is definitely a plus. The hotel has a restaurant that serves great food! Pool is also great. Overall the place is well worth the money. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. They definitely made me feel like home.

United StatesMost of the locals didn't know where the resort was located, had to direct several trike drivers to the resort. You probably need to rent a scooter to get back and forth if you plan on going out frequently.
Breakfast is included, free coffee and drinking water, Dive shop on site with equipment rentals. Rooms are nice and clean as was the bathroom. Bed was large and had several pillows and a nice comforter was included.

United StatesThe road to get to the location is still under developed and has a lot of pot holes. Their pool is great but they have too many rules on what you cannot do so it made it difficult to enjoy. It's unfortunate because it was nice and big and could be a good attraction for tourists.
The staff and the facility were all wonderful. My children enjoyed the hotel pet named Daiwoo.

United StatesCan’t think of a single thing that I couldn’t overcome with a trip to the mall about 5-10 minutes away depending on traffic.
This was a perfect oasis for a single traveler far from home. This is a diving resort by design.I’m no longer a diver but was in my youth. I can tell you from observation that the diving staff is thorough,professional ,friendly and well equipped.

United StatesThere isn’t a full time restaurant on the property which means you must go out or order food to be delivered. You can also purchase food from a market that they will assist in preparing for you. Certainly not a problem for me personally but might be an issue for some.
Property is pretty much new and well maintained . A small,cozy,calm and off the busy track resort with a small pool if you’re not into diving or snorkeling.!Resort staff are exceptionally accommodating, courteous, friendly,helpful. Spacious room.Huge bed.Shower with great pressure and hot water! The place was nearly perfect from my perspective.

Australiatwo things really. the house opposite the hotel has a very loud annoying dog that barks all night, so bring ear plugs to save your self some sleepless nights. The second isn’t hotel related but it’s the beach near the hotel which is only 2 minute walk. The beach area is heavily polluted by the locals, it’s really sad to see such a nice spot full of litter and garbage. I hope you can work out something with your local community to help keep the ocean clean and protect the beautiful yet endangered sea animals that inhabit in and around there. As a business there i think you can stand up in the community and try to make a difference.
very modern and clean, nice hot showers and friendly staff! convenient location. i definitely recommend

Qatarthis is predominantly a hotel with a dive centre onsite therefore great location for divers. for non divers the location is good with it being outside the noisy and busy city centre but therefore there are not restaurants very close by. it’s best to have a scooter or you can take a tuk tuk
rooms are big, exceptionally clean, very modern and the pool is also kept very clean. staff are friendly and accommodating. free water from a cooler is available if you have your own bottle
