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):
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.).

beach: There is a mini bus but it is a battle to get on.During lunch time no bus for 1.5 hours. Very limited choice of all inclusive drinks on the beach. We went only once and did not want to “fight” anymore to get on the minibus or not being able to get on and wait on the sun for another 20min… wifi: almost no internet, anywhere in the hotel, due to traffic I guess. Parking: 20lv/day but seems like this is general pravtice in Golden Sands to pay for hotel parking food and beverages: the alcohol is really bad quality. Enough choice of food, but quality wise was not so good. Long waiting for the few things that were nice and fresh, as everyone wanted to eat it. Kids corner: the room smells very bad, the toys are old, broken, lost.
rooms: big, getting cleaned every day. comfortable beds and pillows. swimming pools: nice, suitable for small kids. clean: overall clean hotel food: nice ice cream, pancakes and pizza. choice of food. personnel: Friendly personnel and animation team (especially at the kids corner). They make nice make up on the kids’ faces and in the evening there is kids disco.

RomaniaThere was a big problem with not enough sunbeds for the hotel guests and it was very frustrating when you cant find any near the kids pool as a parent to watch your kids. It was about stressful when it should have been relaxing for parents also to enjoy while kids had fun in water. Also, there was every morning a long waiting line for pancakes and I had to wait while my kids ate their food, as they wanted pancakes after food. This pancake station should be bigger with 2 people to make the pancakes faster.
I liked the various pools we could enjoy, plus the kids slides were fun for kids. The food was good not great.

RomaniaRoom: - Cleaning was bad. - The floors were not vacuumed thoroughly. - There was mold in the shower. The shower door was half broken. The shower shelf was half broken, as well - Our room's balcony was dirty with sand when we checked in. - Beach towels were not changed every day, as they promise. - Sheets changed only once during our 7 night stay, and we had to ask at the reception for this. - There were cobwebs in the corners of the room. Dirty, stained curtains. The dresser was not vacuumed at all, inside, and the dust was piling up Hallway: - Dirty hallway, with dirty carpets Restaurants: - The plates and glasses in the main restaurant were not very clean. Food: - Very poor choices for babies under diet (no sugar, no salt) - we found some fruits, egg in the morning and some steamed veggies for lunch/dinner. - No meat to choose from, as all was salty and/or greasy. Amenities: - We were not allowed to use the pools after 6PM. - The waterslides are only for kids between 1 and 14 and they are open under a very tight schedule: 10 to 12 AM + 3 to 5 PM - Playground for kids had an indoor area which was only open during short short intervals each day.
The hotel had big swimming pools with plenty of areas for the kids. Good breakfast

United KingdomThe sunbeds around the pool and the beach are not as many as I expected. many, We needed to be early in order to get a sunbed around the pool and on the beach, The wifi was not great. We didnt have barely any at some point.
The hotel and staff are excellent. The location of the pools and the children swimming pool are excellent. The food was so delicious and there is a variety of fruits and vegetables. Everything is easy to access and even with crowded restaurant you are able to get your food and drinks without any problems. The receptionist are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned on a regular basis and all the towels are changed daily. The rooms have huge balconies and outside tables. There isa great entertainment for the children in the evening, the bar at the seaside, on the beach is really handy and quite an asset in the hot weather. I would love to stay at the hotel again.

FranceWater was cold in all the pools, even in the kid's pool so we could not use them. Food was in general good with many options, but the more popular food options like pancakes, omelletes or fries, were always running out and you had to spend a lot of time in the line for these to be cooked. Pasta options and coffee available at the buffet were not good at all. Too many stairs everywhere is not very good when you have small kids.
Cleanliness, big rooms, nice staff, lots of activities available for the kids.

RomaniaYou have to go 2 km to theyr 's beach. They have a small shuttle with 17 places but sometimes it's not enough. When You go to eat dinner sometimes you can't find clean dishes and you must wait for someone to bring a few. Because they have just 4 elevators when are rush hours you must wait even 10 min to catch a free one so even if you don't have a beautiful panorama book a room at the first levels.

Romania= Pools The main pools are too deep even at just 1.5m - people who can't swim can't enjoy them. The indoor pool is even deeper than that at 1.6m. It would be great if you could raise the bottom to a part of the lower pool. Maybe add a platform that will allow the creation of a shallower area without rebuilding the entire pool.
= Rooms Clean and well maintained. Just as last year = Food Good and plenty, with a lot of variety = Beach It was nice having a larger beach, more chairs and umbrellas and the beach bar was a nice touch. Even though we had to deal with the shuttle busses (kudos to the drivers) = Pool area A lot fewer mosquitos than last year.

The room and the hotel look exactly as in the photos. The water in the pool was clean and at a good temperature. The Greek restaurant had very good food but with a few options of food without gluten. We received towels for the beach and a bag for them. The drinks were very good.

UkraineFighting for sunbeds was awful, never seen such savage behaviour from tourists in other countries. Parking is overpriced. Timetable for everything including restaurant, beach and pool visit - not comfortable with kids, they want to sleep while there is dinner time, had to wake them up to eat.
The room was very clean and comfortable, toilet and shower were 2 separate rooms (luxurious)). Very interesting pool for children, food was delicious and variable, everybody liked it.

RomaniaWe didn’t appreciate the fact that hot drinks were served in plastic cups at the snack bar and at the beach bar. It would be great if the hotel made more effort to reduce their plastic usage, like cups, straws etc and replace them with paper/reusable ones. Poor variety of drinks at the beach bar for all inclusive.
The hotel was very nice, spacious and clean room and bathroom. Food was tasty and lots of options. We had a comfortable stay and we enjoyed the private beach. We also liked that we could use the facilities until later after checking out of the room at 12pm.
