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.).

AustraliaWe knew the rooms were outdated, but honestly did not expect them to be run down this much. Room was old, with a moldy smell. The closet was crumbling away, the safe had been switched off. Mold in bathroom, lukewarm water in place of hot water. A lot of condensation in the room, making the floors kind of wet and slippery.
Excellent service from the friendly staff, always a smile and a greeting from everyone from front desk to pool side. Buffet is a bit repetitive, but always a great selection and honestly won’t matter if you’re staying just a few days. Food is tasty. The views, the sunset, the beach, unbeatable. Nothing better than grabbing a sunbed at the beach side and relaxing while the sun goes down.

BelgiumThe rooms were great, but the terrace door could be a bit more sound proof. the birds sang and that was noisy, and my downstairs neighbor decided to play loud music on our last day so if the terrace doors were well sound-proofed, this would be much better.
The staff was the highlight. Each morning we were greeted with a smiling face. walking out of the room, the room boys were kind and bubbly. special mentions go out to Manoj, who took extra care in arranging our room. The security staf were ever helpful and kind. the Restaurant was great, had indoor and outdoor seating and the staff were wonderful. special shoutouts to Renuka who was ever smiling, Sampath who knew my preference for the table and the king coconut glass i drank, and eepa who was always ready to help. Reception was no exception. Thiloochana who took amazing car and showed professionalism and Javisanka who assisted by going the extra step every time. The only downside was the noise outside the room. there were flocks of crows and "Maina birds" and parrots who sang their song from dawn to dusk. even with the terrace door closed, it was noisy enough. The room was large (we were three) and a lovely balcony added to the charm. we asked for a sea-view room and they delivered. At the end of our 10 day stay, they offered a free meal at the dinner buffet and made it special with a poolside table. All in all, we were extremely happy with my stay.

Germany2025 was our 3rd time here after 2023. Facilities looks not maintained well but I think they are getting old now also with heavy use in such a hotel. AAC was not able to gi below 25 in One of the rooms. It was very hot. Even the crew was not able to fix after two calls.
Staff is really friendly as always. Good food large variety!
