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 reviewThe service from the staff and management was top notch. The view from our room, room service and the drinks. Enjoyed all the food and their freshly made juices.
Limited menu and items not available, but their supplier hadn't delivered.

Verified reviewThe staff are amazing - especially Shuna at the front office. We arrived early and she was welcoming, gave us a room and was generally brilliant. She made us feel very welcome. Loved the Sea front- the beach is exquisite - I loved the lounging chairs by the pool too,
Breakfast was measured up eg English breakfast did not have bacon and baked beans was a spoonful / it may help to offer eg fruit when an item is missing.

Verified reviewI liked a lot of things in the hotel - first of all, it’s right on the absolutely divine beach which was almost empty for the entire time I was there. The bungalow on the beach was very nice (although the bathroom could be cleaner and refurbished a little). Staff friendly and food at the restaurant excellent (although the portions are small and one dish is definitely not enough for lunch or dinner).
There was one Saturday during my 5-day stay when a big group of tourists occupied the restaurant and the area around, playing very loud music all day. They didn’t care it caused discomfort to other guests (me) and didn’t turn down the music, even though asked several times. The staff - otherwise very nice - was totally unbothered, didn’t want to intervene (or didn’t think they should?). When the group left about 6pm, the music at the pool bar started, with bass so loud that the floor inside the bungalow vibrated. There was literally nowhere to hide from the noise. The staff refused to turn down the music even though there was NOBODY at the bar. Fortunately, as there was nobody, the party didn’t last very long (9.30? 10pm maybe?), but in a village that advertises itself as quiet fishermen village, this is unacceptable. I was particularly disappointed with the manager’s attitude who didn’t seem to care.

Mosquito repellants could be sprayed well in time so that the smell wont affect guests when they move in. Mosquitoes are also quite a pull down...

Verified reviewWe only came for one night, but we liked the place so much that we stayed for a total of eight days and it would have been more, but the vacation ended. Very friendly staff. Helpful staff in cleaning and room service, restaurant and bar.
From the hotel, restaurant and bar side, everything was super good. It was just unpleasant to watch the rude customers. Some let their children throw their food. Some demanded that the restaurant staff bring the food to their table. Even though it was a buffet, so to said swedish table. If you want to be gentlemen and ladies, don't act so rude. The service and food were good in the restaurant, but the other customers the mood with their rude behavior. Pleas be polite with staff! It was a very nice vacation provided by the hotel staff. All the best to hotell and restaurant staff. And special greetings to the little boy Joshua.
