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.).

ItalyWhen I booked the room I didn't notice that I booked the dependance which is a building on the main road and detached from the main building of the hotel. More than that, it looks more like a motel than a resort. I had to complain with the front desk and after one night they changed my room, but be careful not to take the dependance rooms. In general, I think the price is far too high for what they offer.
The place has a nice beach and gives you for free kayak, paddle board and life jacket. The breakfast could be better but it is ok.

United KingdomThe diner/restaurant was not up to the standard of the rooms. In need of a makeover and had a lingering stale odour. Such as shame.
The room was excellent. Our room had a balcony in the trees overlooking the sea.

United StatesProperty was not maintained. Decks were splintering. Peeling paint in the bathroom. The room had an old water smell upon entering. Everything was minimal standard. Continental breakfast was average.
Bed was comfortable. 2 beach towels provided. There was a restaurant on premise which helped a lot because everything was 25-30 min driving distance. Staff was pleasant.

United StatesNegatives: • Uncomfortable Bed: Unfortunately, the bed in my room was exceedingly soft, resulting in a highly uncomfortable sleeping experience. • Unpleasant Odor and Mildew: Upon entering the room, an unwelcome odor permeated the air, indicating the presence of mildew. • Lackluster Breakfast: The breakfast offerings at this so-called "resort" left much to be desired. The available options were disappointingly limited, unless one was willing to pay an exorbitant price for a more substantial meal. • Misleading Resort Claims: Despite its claims as a resort, the hotel failed to live up to the standard definition of a resort experience. The amenities offered, such as a hot pool and complimentary use of kayaks, bikes, and paddleboards, felt more like basic features available at many other cheaper places. • Inconvenient Room Placement: As a guest who registered two hotel rooms, I was disappointed to find that they were located on different floors and were not adjacent to each other. This incongruity hindered the convenience and connectivity of our family stay.
Convenient Location: The hotel boasted a favorable location, providing easy access to nearby attractions and offering a picturesque view of the sunset.

AustriaStaff was rude from the first second on, interrupted us during our first sentence without knowing what we were going to ask. Elevator didn’t work, no one helped with the suitcases. The room was clean but still very dusty. The AC was moldy, after 12 hours with the AC on we were both coughing like crazy. And last but not least, they charged the credit card THREE TIMES for one night, including the security deposit even though the room was left behind in a proper manner.
Directly at the beach, restaurant at site, paddle boards and kayaks available free of charge

New ZealandThought on booking 3 bedroom villa they were free standing, our mistake, the adjoining villa had a party going until 2.00am on balcony next to main bedroom, with large number of people obviously too many for room. With them drinking whisky at 4.00pm problems were expected. Staff apologetic, but booking was very expensive so expected more. Second night was quiet as it was a Sunday. No floor mats for bathroom. No oven cooking dishes available, had to go and get them. Oven had surface rust, microwave had heavy rust at inside rear, dishwasher had rust and wouldn't work. Shame as rest of villa was nicely decorated.
Well appointed spacious villa, breakfast was ok, staff pleasant to deal with. On site restaurant was good.

United Statesproperty was okay. nothing like what you see online. we got the dockside view and it was a view of a nasty marsh that smelt horrible. definitely not what was in the pictures. the breakfast was horrible as well as the lunch and dinner served in the same bar and grill. property is way too overpriced for how far you have to travel just to have decent food or go have fun elsewhere. there is nothing to do at this resort expect swim, kayak or bicycle. We traveled 20 minutes just to eat 3 times a day. not impressed. staff was very rude at check in. we had a do not disturb sign on our door the entire week stay, about 2 days in we went to eat and came back to find the sign on our nightstand and someone as came to only make the bed. not even replenish towels or anything else. very aggravating. spend more money and go somewhere where you will actually have stuff to do without traveling.
property was okay.

United StatesGrounds were nice. Breakfast which we thought was included was continental only. Ordering off the menu was a cost we would not have had at other resorts. The elevator was not working which was a slight problem but I won’t hold that against them. I think the pool should be heated I think the beach should be raked as seaweed edges the beaches. Good location and nice staff. A little pricey for what was offered. Good place for a couple of nights

United StatesUnfortunately our room reeked of urine from the moment we walked into it. It was very strong in the restroom & permeated throughout the whole room. It made us feel as if the floors & shower may not be cleaned. There were also some brown (makeup) looking stains on the towels and sheets. We had an ant infestation problem from the window by the kitchenette, so anything we left on that counter & the coffee maker were covered in ants after use. I think a blow dryer would be a nice addition to the rooms.
The location was amazing. The balcony off our room was beautiful and the highlight of our stay. The resort itself was beautiful. Great views & lots to enjoy.
