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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesThis stay was our first bad experience. We’ve been staying at Embarc for nearly 10 years and this was the first year our room wasn’t clean. It was extremely dusty and they hadn’t refilled the soaps/shampoos in the showers. The room looked like no one had stayed in it in months. There was also a VERY large roach that we killed in our room and at that point we requested a new room. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and got us moved right away and also discounted/refunded some of our resort fees for the trouble.
We love vacationing at Embarc! The rooms are perfect for families and offer everything you need. We also love the pools at the resort.

United StatesMy only complaint was the Master bathroom door was too large and when you opened it into the shower, it just got in the way like 5x and was annoying. Not a huge deal. Pools were pretty but something about the color of the bottom of pools made them seem not inviting. Water was clear, perfect and the temperature was warm.
We loved all of the things to do at Resort. Location was perfect. HUGE rooms! Plenty of space for our family! Super clean rooms and facilities! Washer and dryers were nice to use for free! Swim towels provided. Friendly staff was always pleasant. Beautiful views. Really liked that they have private beach access and it was so convenient to get there. Also loved the pool at the beach. Loved that we had access on the beach to the pool and beach. It was so perfect.

United StatesUnfortunately, the couch is a sleeper couch in name only. It was completely unsleepable and very uncomfortable. We were offered a sleeper bed when we complained which was brought to the room quickly and was much more comfortable.
Very clean facilities with expensive grounds and many activities. Free tram transport to the beach was a real plus. The room layout was excellent and comfortable for my wife and me. When we did have an issue with a bed the staff was great and brought us a foldout bed.

United StatesI Didn't like the fact booking.com did not inform us of the 200.00 deposit But this clearly wasn't the resort fault. But after booking the room the resort sent an email informing us it will be one but after the fact we paid in advance and if we would have canceled because of this we wouldn't gotten the room fee back. But like I said not the resorts fault seeing the resort was everything and more I can surely see them asking for a deposit .
Everything was exceptional! From the staff to the decor of the resort to the location! Picture do this place no justice! This place is Beautifully decorated and very well kept up! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

United StatesThe site advertised a game room on location…..well 80% of the games were broken with no plan to repair (they claimed they did not own the games and were renting them but who would pay a rental company for a bunch of broken games?!?)
Location is great. Rooms are very spacious and well equipped. Staff was very friendly. All in all a great resort.

United StatesIt was an extremely odd set up. The bed was positioned at an angle coming out of the corner in a very small room. There was a small kitchen w coffee maker, mini fridge, but no coffee provided at all. Parking was almost impossible to find & the stalls themselves were the smallest they must allowable by code
The location & the pool, although there was construction “improvements” going on all over the resort building.
