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 reviewWe are currently staying at the Benilva Hotel and after reading some reviews, we felt the need to share our real experience. Unfortunately, some of the comments seem to be out of line with reality, as accommodation with very affordable prices is expected to have the same level of luxury as the Sheraton. Well, dear guests - that's simply not the case. We have read complaints like "I had to go to the ATM because card payments are not possible". Honestly, isn't it logical to check this kind of information in advance? And yes, no matter where you travel, having some cash with you is always a good idea. The hotel consists of an older part that is currently undergoing renovation and a new, recently completed building. Some guests are abusing this situation by posting photos from the renovation phase, pictures of the outdoor toilet, which is used by xy people from the beach every day, and based on that, leaving bad reviews. This is not fair - because the situation on the ground looks much different. Our experience - the new part of the hotel: We stayed in the new building - and everything was flawless! The rooms are modern, clean and very functional. As for the older part of the hotel - yes, the furniture is older, but the hygiene is at a high level. And most importantly - the owners' effort to improve everything and offer guests comfort, and not just look at profit, is noticeable. The breakfast is extremely tasty, varied, with lots of local dishes. A real treat! The staff is more than friendly - from the reception to the staff who take care of the beach. The hotel manager is constantly present, actively helping both the guests and his team. Special praise goes to the older gentleman who takes care of the beach, umbrellas and deck chairs - a true host. Our experience was extremely positive. We did not find ourselves in any of the negative comments - on the contrary!

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, right in front of the beach. All the rooms have a sea view. The breakfast was okay, the food was fresh.
They didn't change the towels every day and didn't add toilet paper, if you don't ask for it.

Verified reviewThe room has view over the beach and ocean which is amazing. We had breakfast on a small table right on the beach. Very nice people that run the hotel. We were the only guests in the hotel during our stay in april, which meant there were still constructions going on.

Verified reviewThis is an older hotel but well kept and clean, right on the beach. Breakfast is in the hotel restaurant in a separate building on the beach, pleasant and pretty. Breakfast was good. We had dinner there as well and that was excellent and tasty.
The hotel has bad sound insulation, you can hear people and shower noises from other rooms.
