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.).

HungaryThe driver of our privately booked tours was not allowed onto the hotel premises by the security company, so we always had to walk up a steep road to meet him. Fortunately, the taxi to and from the airport was allowed in, so we didn’t have to carry our suitcases out.
We had a wonderful week here. Our bungalow had a sea view, and it was very convenient to have the beach right in front of us.

United StatesIt’s a bit pricey for what I received. Granted, it’s an all-inclusive and I’m not much of a drinker (that was part of the included perks).
It was a cozy getaway after long travels. The staff were very accommodating. There was fun entertainment in the evening.

Austriaa very beautiful hotel with a very kind and welcoming staff! It was a perfect holiday. Food is amazing from breakfast to dinner. The beach is affected by high and low tide - low tide was in the morning so we could swim in the ocean in the afternoon. For us perfect because we are no morning persons. Room and the hotel were very clean. You cam find a lot of animals in the hotel area from small cute lizards to bushbabys. Like a little zoo. My husband got a little problem with his stomache and the manager Kevin and the hoteldoctor helped him immediately. Thank you Kevin and the whole team for this wonderful holiday!

LithuaniaYou can't have it all. The hotel is not in the crowded city therefore most usual (for European) options of shopping are not around. On the other hand you have all necesities inside the hotel.
Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true. As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it! As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK! Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way. To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.

United StatesCheck-in experience a bit stressful as front desk could not find my booking made on booking.com. The hotel went to extra length however to accomodate me. Even benefitted from a massive upgrade.
Kindness of staff, especially Fatma. She really went the extra miles to ensure our stay was perfect. The food was varied and excellent, so were the evening shows. A lot of activities taking place in the resort in addition to excursions also arranged by the hotel... And if you do have time, you need to try the herbal thai massage.

Croatiaprice for drink and lunch.I know this might be a problem al over the island but the beach boys can really be iritatally and dont leave you alone to enjoy the beach
The resort looks nice, a nicely maintained and decorated yard and the area around the pool right next to the beach with very nice white sand. The staff is friendly, we didn't have a kettle in the room, and when we asked for it, they immediately brought it to us. Beautiful traditional beach houses, unfortunately we didn't. we got accommodation in those houses, and we were given those pictures when booking through booking com. We got remote rooms with a lot of stairs. Those rooms are very small with outdated and rusty bathroom equipment and a very hard and uncomfortable mattress, not for those with back problems .I did not expect that accommodation for that price. Quite windy in that location. The internet is very weak in the room and there is almost none at all. Water in the bathroom is very salty. I don't understand why we had to pay immediately upon arrival, even though we booked with a card through booking, but at the end at check out The prices are too high compared to Kendwa and Hotel Gold and you have no possibility to go anywhere else nearby

United KingdomWill never return. Not 5 star resort and grossly over priced. All inclusive a huge rip off. Food typical of any big package deal European holiday. Its a sprawling metropolis. No sun after 4.30 p.m. and sun loungers packed together. Food horrendous typical of an big resort holiday. It used to be table service with beautifully cooked food. Guards on beach. Its totally lost its charm and way. I wanted a room on level pathway but they wouldn't give me one consequently I needed my knee support on and walking stick to get up sleep hill to room. What a huge delevelpment, has happened obviously been taken over and ruined its delightful charm and place of paradise. £50 and no food to keep room. Until time to go to airport. £50 per person to upgrade to all inclusive. Utter waste of money had to pay for a coffee after meal. Wine like vinegar etc etc. We are looking for refund!!! Also no drawers for clothes only half size small hanging area, one small shelf. Chairs hopeless to sit on.
Memories of staying here 12 years ago bore no resemblence to the beautiful little spot of paradise it was with fabulous food, small and delightful. Food now European concept and hideous. Beautiful beach but sadly manned by guards. Staff lovely.
