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.).

RussiaEverything was great, we booked a small villa. It was cozy and clean. The terrace was adorable. Everybody was friendly and helpful. My friend had a birthday, so the staff brought us a cake with candles. After checking out I’ve realized, that I forgot a small bag in the villa. The staff was so kind to deliver it to me to another island. So I have only good impressions.

CanadaThere is no restaurant other than the breakfast buffet. There is no bar. The gym is in a glass "fishbowl" in the lobby, which made it too uncomfortable for me to use. The AC in our room was either very cold or very warm. The comfortable setting was elusive and it blew directly on our bed. Other than that, the room was comfortable and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean.
The location was perfect. Right across from the nicest beaches in the area and steps from the night market with lots of food and free entertainment. Pool area was very nice. Could use a few more loungers and umbrellas right next to the pool though. Breakfast was good. Staff went out of their way to provide me with secure WiFi that I needed for work.

GermanyCarrying the garbage upstairs shouldn't be done by the service ladies; there is certainly another alternative.
The hotel complex is a great place to relax in good weather. The balcony and loungers on the ground floor offer a fantastic view. This stretch of beach is only partially suitable for swimming at high tide (for a person 1.78 m tall). The pool is open until the evening. The breakfast is perfectly adequate and fresh. Lunch and dinner are delicious. The staff enjoy their work and are extremely courteous and friendly. The scooter rental was fair and everything was in order, even though they only accepted cash payments. P.S A small gecko lives on the top right balcony. His name is Godzilla and he's happy when the light comes on.

SwitzerlandPerhaps the only downside is that the hotel feels isolated as it is on a side road which takes you about 10min to reach the main road by foot. No sidewalks. If you use a motorbike anyway it should be fine but if you don't then it's a bit annoying.
The private beach was amazing, literally in front of the hotel with stunning views. We decided to walk to Lamai beach by the beach (took us like 1h) and the Lamai beach does not compare to the hotel beach. The water is quite shallow and barely any waves. The staff here was amazing, always helpful and kind. The rooms were clean with great view of the beach.

United KingdomThe food from the restaurant was OK but better is available elsewhere - I used the grab app to get food on a couple of nights. It's a bit far from the town but very easy to get a taxi or hire a scooter.
Amazing hotel right on the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful and could sort out tours, scooter hire etc. Room was absolutely amazing with balcony and sea view. Had a great time just relaxing by the pool drinking juices from the bar.

SloveniaThe only thing that bothered me was the mixed up information about the payment. There is a sign in the reception, that they prefer cashless payment, but then they tell you at the reception, that some thing you can not pay with card. Which wouldn't bother me, if all the receptionists gave the same information. Sadly the check in receptionist started telling us all the thing you can pay with cards and all the things you have to pay with cash. Mistake on my part was, that I didn't remember all the details so 2 days before our check out, we needed to see what we have to pay with cash so that we would know if we need some more cash. At that time, another lady was working and she said that we have to pay with cash just scooter and taxi, which was great. But, when we checked out, the first lady was working so we had to pay in cash everyting else except the room. That somewhat diminished the experience, but I would still HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
I loved the hotel, the room, the balcony, the almost private beach,the staff, the location...we were here in the second part of February and every morning untill 2pm I could swim ( or walk in the water😆)on the beach and then in the afternoon you can go to the pool (cuz the water is too shallow due to the low tide). The stuff was really amazing, always wanted to help and they always greet to you with a big warm smile. Also, the location is a bit away from all the happening, but if you ask me, this way you can really relax. The store and the pharmacy is 10min walking distance, if you want to explore the island then you should just rent a scooter or something and I also thing that because of the location, the water was not so rough at the beach compared to the other locations.

CanadaThe restaurant area needs something to make it more inviting to sit at . It’s pretty plain. Like nice likes and stuff to make it feel welcoming . A little out of the way , had to take taxis to town which was $20 Canadian each way . This is not the hotels fault but the beach you have to walk a long way in to get water to hips . Could not swim . We were surprised breakfast was not included in our $200 a night room , not sure what you would have had to pay for a room to get breakfast . Was the most expensive place we stayed and breakfast wasn’t included in our villa
Comfy bed . Nice villa with patio , nice pool area ,staff were very helpful and friendly . The trainee was very friendly and the lady in the evening who checked us in was fantastic . Liked that we had tub and shower

CanadaThe staff is what makes this resort special. I arrived after a long day of traveling and was greeted by friendly and caring staff who made me feel taken care of the moment I arrived. This continued throughout my stay whether it was at the front desk, by the pool, or at the restaurant. The resort itself is beautiful with a lovely pool and access to the beach. It was quite comfortable to spend the afternoon on a chair overlooking the ocean.
