How guest reviews work
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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

No complaints
Really lovely room. This is not the usual type of hotel I stay in, but I splurged for 4 nights. No regrets. I'm coeliac and the staff, in particular the Chef Riza, made sure I knew which food I could and couldn't eat. It is a rare treat to have gluten free pancakes made for me every morning! Soju, at the concierge desk was incredibly helpful when I asked where to go for specific items. There are 2 pools, one in the shade and one in the sun. The latter was a bit harder to find (out maybe it was just me) so do ask the staff. It was the perfect spot to relax with a book and fresh juice

Weird- they provide hair drier, although no power socket where to put it on. You have to use kettle’s socket🙈 as in the bathroom only low voltage for men shaving machines.
All is very good, especially comfortable bed

The bedroom could have been cleaned a bit better. Whilst not in any way dirty, there was a sticker attached to the exterior of the bath and a dark coloured stain could be clearly seen on one of our towels. We primarily used this trip to relax before our onward flight so location was fine for us. Others, however, may find it a bit out of the way or not ideal for sight seeing. We purchased breakfast in the French bakery attached to the hotel. We felt it was overpriced for what we got. We had gotten breakfast in an external establishment the day before which was cheaper and much tastier with a broader menu.
We stayed here for two nights on a stop over and enjoyed a relaxing time. The bedroom was a great size with a very comfortable bed. We had a room with sea views which was nice. We loved that we could still utilise the pool area after check out which suited us great as we had a late flight. The pool area itself was nice with good views, comfortable loungers and very easy to listen to music which was being played at the perfect noise level! Staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Uber was about €25 to and from the airport. Very handy to use.

The room itself appeared clean but it was actually quite dusty..and had a lot of marks on the furniture. Just seemed a little rough around the edges.
The reception staff were very friendly at check in and were very helpful. I also ate at the thai restaurant and used the spa facilities and the staff there were also very friendly and helpful.

The swimming pool. They have two, the big one is situated between the big hotel’s so there is no sun. The small one has sun, but it’s more a pool then an swimming pool….The breakfast was a bit dull you can have so many more options at other hotels. The food at the French bakery is way to expensive
The most comfortable was the room. Very spacious and a great bed. Also the location at Corniche is very convenient when to go to the beach. The have an very great Thai Restaurant in the Hotel Silk and Spice!
