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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewGood location, relatively quiet, clean and comfortable.
Fire alarm started to beep at 9pm and continued, every minute, until the next day when they finally answered at 11am to send someone to fix it. Also have to clean your own items like an air bnb so may as well order one since your cleaning after yourself. A bit noisy and inconsiderate neighbours.

Little bit of a drive to town, undercover parking limited

The accomodation smelt old and dusty. The porch was dirty.
Thank you for your feedback. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the gardens, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the accommodation. This isn’t the standard we aim to provide, and your comments about the smell and porch cleanliness have been passed on to our housekeeping team for attention.

Verified reviewThe room was tastefully decorated and very large - I wasn’t expecting a seperate living room and kitchenette. View was lovely. It felt very quiet and cozy. Although I was there on business, it felt like a holiday and I was inspired to get up early for a walk on the beautiful beach.
It was difficult to find reception and even harder to find the building and then the room which were far from reception. You need to drive there or they need to offer golf carts to navigate the large property which seems to have a few different companies operating there. I suggest hiring a way finding expert to assist with signage as every day I saw people wandering around trying to find their room!
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We’ve taken note about the signage for finding reception and the rooms — and yes, we’re definitely working on it. We’d love to welcome you back anytime, whether it’s for business or a bit of relaxation!

Verified reviewThe room was good and clean but some small things like the noisy fan in the bathroom needs to be replaced.
The breakfast menu was limited and quite expensive compared to the other places I were before. The room facilities like bench top needs to be cleaned as it was sticky. Having no lift was a bit difficult to take the luggage upstairs.
Hi Reza, So happy to hear you enjoyed the location and the staff :) We've taken note about the fan in the bathroom and benchtop, thanks for bringing it to our attention. It is worth mentioning that the restaurant operates as a separate business to us, so we can pass the feedback along to their staff! As for the stairs, yes they can be a bit much for some, especially if there is heavy or a lot of luggage. Next time you visit, drop us a message or ring our reception and let us know you have a preference for a room with lift access and we can surely accommodate you! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!

Too many stairs and no lifts
Hi! So good to hear you enjoyed the resort's close proximity to the beach. We agree that the rooms in the Terraces with stair access only can be a bit much for some. We'd love to welcome you back next time into a room with lift access! Just message or call us so we can accommodate you :) Thanks so much for leaving a review, it goes a long way for us!
