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.).

United KingdomStaff didn’t have much English. Debora upgraded us and couldn’t do enough for us. She allowed me to text her in her work WhatsApp. With there only being two restaurants there were limited food and the same food each day. No different nationality foods. I asked for nachos three different times and didn’t get them. We travelled into the old town three times out of four nights. Old town is pretty close and bolts are very cheap.
Lovely place, entrance was very appealing.

United KingdomMain bar closed at 11pm so not very good for grown-ups Hotel had another restaurant - not a buffet - but not included in the package, prices looked very expensive and we only saw 4 people use it over 5 nights so seemed a total waste of time to have it
not too busy, nice dining room (Buffet), pool bar great staff were great although seemed to be a few "new starts" but early season I guess

United KingdomThere was no tea/ coffee making facility in the room. Had to pop down to the restaurant to grab one with the breakfast and afternoon snack.
Overall experience was amazing with super comfy beds, spacious rooms and friendly staff with kids entertainment facility. We went with the all inclusive option and wasn’t disappointed. There were variety of options to choose from for both kids and adults and desserts were absolutely delicious.

United KingdomThe communal pool (not the spa pool) is not heated so was freezing and not too inviting. There is no iron in the room, I waited about 30 mins after requesting an iron that never arrived before I had to go out. But when I came back to the room, the iron and ironing board was left for me, so it wasn’t all bad. Many of the plugs sockets in the room were not working and the facilities in the spa were all switched off when I arrived so I had to wait about 20 mins for the sauna to heat up before being able to get in. I guess this is to benefit the carbon footprint. There were some parts around the hotel and also in the room that could do with upgrading/maintenance like mould in places and weathering of the walls. Unfortunately none of the rooms have a double bed, instead single beds are made up to one double bed. The mattresses, pillows and bedding were really comfortable but the mattresses kept separating during the night which made it feel like I could fall between the two single mattresses. A few small upgrades/improvements could make this a luxury hotel. With all of that said, it is a really nice place and I would visit again. I had a really nice and relaxing time there.
It’s in a quiet location, not far from a beach (albeit a small beach) which was important for me. The spa was nice, peaceful and quiet, another important factor for me. The staff were pleasant, attentive and helpful. They were always happy to answer questions, offer help and even gave me a birthday cake! I think my room was also upgraded free of charge and the room was really spacious with two bathrooms and two balconies which was a nice touch. Breakfast was okay with fresh fruit and pastries, but I would have liked some more vegetarian options. I didn’t eat lunch or dinner there. It’s not too far from the old town or the strip, with uber taxis costing about €4-5 each way. There is a free shuttle to the old town which is a nice gesture but I never used it. The communal areas like hallways, lifts and the bar/restaurant were really clean. The staff cleaned messes up really quickly but discreetly. The grounds are really pleasant with nice scenery and plants/trees.

United KingdomHaving to wait from 12:40pm to 3pm to have access to our booked apartment
The apartment we stayed in was very spacious and neat and the food variety was super-amazing. The staff were very friendly. Although, we had to wait till about 3pm to go into our apartment having arrived at the hotel 12.40pm, the lunch we had was good enough to suppress the hunger pangs we had. All-inclusive was worth every pound spent

United KingdomThe spa / indoor pool was €15 each to use (it’s low season so the weather wasn’t great outside) … but the spa wasn’t particularly high end. The steam room wasn’t steamy and smelt pretty falsty - sauna not that hot and the indoor pool was pretty chilly! The jacuzzi jets didn’t work on one side but was the warmest part of the spa. Just not sure it’s worth €15 a pop!
Good food selection on buffets. Our suite was massive and located really nicely with the children’s play park

PolandThe walls are like “paper” – we could hear screaming children in the hallway. The towels were dirty, so it was good that we had our own. The indoor pool wasn’t very warm. The towel I received from the pool staff also turned out to be dirty when I unfolded it.
The hotel decor is very nice, with a beautiful view while dining outdoors, and the bartenders are super friendly
