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.).

CanadaWe like everything!!!
Amazing experience since the beginning. We call the property and they were very kind and profesional while requesting some special requests. When we arrived, they treated us like royalty. The staff, the hotel ambiance, the room and food was absolutely wonderful. Conrado was our main point of contact and it was an honor to have known him. A true lord with exceptional customer service skills and human qualities.

United StatesProperty was close to the castle, public swimming area, and even had its own area to sunbathe and swim. It is also very close to cafes, shops, and restaurants. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional. No extended parking nearby, but it’s really the location of this hotel that makes it easy to access and enjoy the sea.

NetherlandsThe guy in the restaurant was a bit dry in his interactions with the clients. The hotel as a area to access the water with sun beads, but charge their own clients to have access to it, this should be include in the rate of the room
The room was clean and ample, very clean and comfortable.

SwedenThe location was just by the water, close to absolutely everything. The staff were lovely, answered all my questions and were very helpful. I booked an ocean view room with a balcony, it was worth every penny. The room was clean and spacious, AC easy to control and the views immaculate. I can’t recommend this place enough!

BelgiumThe only downside is there is not a lot of parking and with the current roadworks it was not easy to find space near the hotel
The hotel is excellently located and surprisingly quiet. The restaurant and breakfast room have a lovely view over the bay. The breakfast and service were excellent

AustraliaThe bed very hard to sleep on . The room was hot & stuffy alot if the time . We asked for the air conditioner to be turned on but it didn’t ever happen . Our balcony door was open the whole time we were in our room , except for overnight. Would have been nice to have some glasses to drink out of instead of a mug or paper cup .
Position , views , we had a lovely large balcony with beautiful views . Hotel very central , convenient to most things .
