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 reviewWonderful facilities. Beach nearby, pool and spa. We had an all inclusive package and the hotel had a wide choice of restaurants and eateries
It was a bit isolated away from tourist sites and public transportation. No problem unless you want to do some touring.

The water of the outdoor swimming pool was too cold and the WiFi was a bit slow.

Verified reviewOur room was upgraded to a Family Room, which was a wonderful and thoughtful surprise from the hotel. It made our stay feel special, as all of the kids could sleep in their own area, separate from the adults, while still being in one suite. I also want to highlight the food quality; it was truly delicious.
It's a minor thing, but I would recommend starting the evening show just a bit earlier.

Verified review1. Great location. Oceanside but a long walk between the building and the beach, which is true for all beaches along this strip. 2. Good soundproofing of windows. Most of the outside noise was blocked out. 3. Excellent food buffet style. Breakfast has great choices of salads and many types of food. They have theme nights for dinner-- seafood, Italian, international, Turkish, Asian, etc.-- all you can eat. 4. Very nice housekeeping staff. Every day she made decorations with towels in the room. One instance she put flower petals on the bed and another she put petals on the bathroom sink. 5. Large pool. 6. There is an area in the beach that is roped off exclusively for hotel guests. 7. Large open green grassy space. 8. There is a themed a la carte restaurant if one chooses not to have buffet. They have theme nights - Turkish, Fish (at the top floor with nice view from the balcony), Italian. It's a set menu except for the main dishes. You have to choose your main course among 4-5 choices. Usually dinner consists of a starter, salad, soup, main, and dessert. 9. Well maintained facilities. Well manicured gardens.
1. Some of the staff could be rude at times-- front desk, guest services. They need a bit more customer service training. 2. The massage/spa attendants are very pushy. They are like used cars salesmen. Trying to push their product and get you to pay immediately once you sign up even if your appointment is still days away so it'll be harder to get a refund if you decide to cancel. Although I had a great massage. The price was a bit expensive. 3. Since the rooms are not carpeted, the hotel should provide slippers. Bathrobes are available but in most hotels I've stayed, bathrobes come with slippers. 4. My wife got sick at midnight and we had to call a hotel doctor which recommended us to go to the hospital. The hospital was on the other side of town, 35 minutes away. I'm not sure how a person could survive if it was a more critical emergency. I'm told there were other hospitals much closer. I don't know why they sent us so far away. 5. Pool and beach chairs gets filled up quickly. People would put their towels on the chairs and disappear for hours. I wish there is a way to prohibit that so those who want to use the pool or beach will have a place. 6. They serve food almost all hours of the day, except between 4pm and 7pm. They should have another snack time from 4-7pm before dinner started. 7. Dinner starts at 7pm. For those who don't like to eat late, they should start serving dinner at 6pm. 8. They don't provide currency exchange. Perhaps they are not authorized to, but if that's the case they should have a bank install an ATM onsite. The nearest ATM is at the main road, maybe 700+ meters away. 7. TVs in the rooms are small. C'mon, invest in larger TVs and provide more English channels. 8. Wine selection could be improved. The house wine was disappointing to say the least, and ruins the themed dinner-- whether in the buffet or a la carte restaurant. 9. Bathroom amenities are a bit short.

Verified reviewI am sorry the stay was not likable. The staff from manager to waiters was unfriendly. I requested 3 months ago for two rooms to be together or close but the manager Ahmet gave me rooms 12 doors away from my kids. I have confirmation that they agreed to have it close to one another. My room had a view of the dirt bins and wine bottles. When I queried and showed my emails he then moved us close to one another immediately. No one can speak English, it was so difficult to communicate with staff. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone especially people of colour like us. We felt out of place as everyone kept looking at us like we aliens but yet Muslim Indians from South Africa.
Knowing the hotel caters for tourist, they should employ staff who can speak English, from Managers to cleaners. Even the pool guy did not understand me as I asked where can I get a pool towel. Create a non-alcohol section for Muslims not only cater people who wishes to drink alcohol. The hotel is all inclusive but I could only drink Cola drinks. No Mocktails or milkshakes for my kids as they make the alcohol drinks in the same machines and bottle shakers. Technically I paid for all inclusive but did not get the benefit of it. The hotel needs to inform that tourist that the taxis are a RIP-OFF and have a shuttle services to most tourist destinations (Land of Legend, Aquarium, etc). At the end the manager checked me out and did not even say "safe travel" or walked me out but as soon as other white people came in he went to carry their bags.

Verified reviewThe most notable part of the staying is definitely the staff. All of them were polite, and professional, with great patience and a smile. The food was various, always fresh, and every dinner was different, tasty and well-cooked.
The hotel is a bit outdated, rooms are small for 3 people and definitely need a renovation, as well as, beach and pool beds. The hotel is nice but far from being 5 stars hotel.
