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.).

SwitzerlandSea at that part of the beach is filled with big rocks, so probably forget about comfortably swimming nearby but walk min. 200m along for being at least able to enjoy in shallow. Still beach itself is nice sandy. Waterpressure in the shower is really weak but I guess that is a common problem there.
Everything was perfect! Innocento is such a great person, Gracia as well. He picked us up from airport and also took as back on return even thought it was 3 am. Car rental from them went also flawless. Apartment itself is equiped with everything you need, had enough space, even an washingmachine and a fully equiped kitched. We had also view to the beach from the groundfloor and therefore also an direct door-acsess to nice yard and kidsplayground - what for us really important was. Really hope to come again sometime, all the best to Innocento and Gracia !

SlovakiaAs mentioned, there indeed are things to work on: - The single bed was really uncomfortable. Last 5 days I slept with the mattress on the ground. - The shower head and hose was in a bad condition - The kitchen was equipped well for a few days, but for a longer stay (we stayed for 21 days) it was a little too less, so we bought some stuff and kept it there. - Having at least some level of English from the staff would be a gamechanger. I mean...there are a lot of tourists from outside Italy there, so I believe also for Innocenzo it would be a great benefit - at least some basics.
- I gave the Case Playa a straight 10 - not really because of the facilities or comfort it provides, but because of the experience and location it offers. The owner (Innocenzo) and the employees were extremely helpful and friendly - wish we could communicate in other language than Italian & hand gestures :) - Innocenzo loves the place and takes great care about it. Sometimes it may be too much for him to handle with the other business, but he does his best and we had a great time also thanks to him ! - Great location, literally a few meters from the beach. Recommended for families - A superb pizzeria right at your feet (owned by the same owner) - There is a small playground for the kids next to the apartments. There are also a lot of toys and sunshades you can borrow for free. - Considering the price and value it offered to us, this accommodation was unbeatable - Innocenzo can provide bike, car rental as well as Airport transfer for reasonable prices

TurkeyWe were greeted in a very warm and friendly manner upon our arrival at the facility. All our needs were taken care of closely. Our apartment was large, spacious, quite adequate for our needs, and the terrace was enjoyable. The facility is located by the sea, with a long sandy beach. You can completely relax with its beautiful sea, view and feeling. Additionally, one of its most important features is that there is a family-run restaurant within the facility serving delicious pizza, pasta, mussels and seafood dishes. We had a nice holiday experience and were pleased with our stay.

The property is in a excelent location on a sandy beach. Only one kilometer to the city center. The owner's pizzeria is near by apartments but this did not prevent you from enjoying your vacation.

SlovakiaThe host was excellent and very helpful all the time, he picked us up at airport as agreed, handed us keys from the apartment, we also rented a car through him which was great. Host also addressed all our additional requests and was very helpful all the time. The apartment is literally 20 steps from the beach and right next to it is the restaurant owned by the same family, which had excellent menu, we used it almost every day. All in all I can highly recommend this place as its right next to the beach (public beach with free of charge entry and free sunbeds / umbrellas, which is definitely a plus), with close-by restaurant. The town centre of Balestrate with shops, bakery, supermarket etc. is bit further away so I would definitely recommend suggesting renting a car. Also, while the beach is sandy, the way into the sea is with rocks / stones, so not absolutely suitable for very small children unless you want to keep them in the small beach / sea pools right at the entry to the sea. So very good experience for us (three kids - 15/15/10 year old) and would recommend for anyone.

North MacedoniaThe concept is nice – an apartment on the beach, but the surrounding is unpleasant. Right next to the apartment, there is a huge abandoned building that looks very bad. The view from the windows is directly into it. If you don't have a car, you are stuck, the patway to Balestrate by food is also unpleasant. It is not a critique to the host, but it is good to know. The beach is sandy, but the entrance to the water is with large stones. If there are waves, you can't swim because you can't see if you will hit a stone. It is not critique to the host, also, but it is good to know. One of the rooms smelled of dampness, but there is also a living room, so the children slept on the pull-out couch.
Polite host, free sunbeds and umrbrelas for the beach, nice balcony with sea view, resturant a few steps away.

NorwayNot sure if we were given the most modern of apartments with some things needing updating. For example terrace door and blinds were not working and some of the draws were in disrepair. Could have needed some more power outlets and the water pressure in the kitchen was very low.
The location by the beach was certainly a plus an we had a second floor apartment facing the sea. The AC was definitely a requirement staying in the middle of heat wave. The adjacent restaurant was invaluable when we didn't want to go into town and there was parking right outside.
