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 breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice
The reception staff were disinterested. No clue about service or timeliness. The hotel taxi did not arrive to collect us at the airport we got our own cab after waiting ages and it was cheaper. The return taxi organised by the hotel was late and the staff had little interest in chasing it up.

Verified reviewRooms were comfortable however a little small for 3 people and a lack of storage space. Rooms badly designed as the headbord was fitted in front of drawers which you could not open and unuseable.Toilet was not thoroughly clean on arrival ( hair and dust behind toilet seat), and although the room was cleaned only 2 times on our 6 night stay the toilet was left neglected. I had to ask 3 times to have the room cleaned and even then sheets and towels were not changed. In my experience unless I literally stripped the beds and put used towels in the basin this would not have been replaced. The balcony was minute and would only accommodate 2 people at a push. Breakfast was a challenge with a lack of tables in the small enclosed restaurant for the amount of guests. Choice of breakfast was limited. Breakfast ends at 10am, however we arrived at 9.30 one morning and only scraps left! Not good.! If you wanted a hot drink you would need to go to 'the bar" which was located in another area of the hotel and not connected to the restaurant room. The queues were sometimes ridiculous ( only 1 person behind the bar)and was not worth the wait! Reception staff were always happy to help but other staff were quite unapproachable and came across as unhappy...never a smile. The website is a little misleading as it shows that the swimming pool has direct access to the hotel but in reality the pool is located, although close by its not on the premises. Also all the gastronomic photos on the website is not something I experience at the hotel. In all I was rather disappointed and did not find it value for money. I would not return or recommend.

Verified reviewSwimming pool even though it was joined with another hotel !
Staff quite rude apart from one , on check out the receptionist who checked us out she wasn’t very professional just wanted to cut our wrist bands off she didn’t ask if we had a good stay , no thank you for staying no nothing! The main entrance is on double dual carriage way plus main road . Cars come speeding right infront of you ! If you want to go on the balcony to relax there was so much noise you couldn’t hear! Thought we’d be able to order food as they show on their website pictures but there was NO menu! No food apart from breakfast ONLY ! Room not very clean wrappers under the beds , hair and sand on the floor no cleaners during our stay !
Dear Shefit, We are sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. While most guests enjoy our service and facilities, we regret that certain aspects fell short for you. Please note that our website specifies breakfast service only, and our location is central, which may bring some city noise. Your comments on cleanliness and service have been shared with our team for improvement. Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Blue Marine Hotel.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good because there was a good choice of foods available. The room was clean and tidy and the small balcony had a lovely view of the beach. Nearby and on the beach, there was plenty of shops, restaurants and take aways.
There was no tea or coffee included with the breakfast.

Verified reviewVery clean room within the hotel. We had a great view of the sea, very nice to wake up to. The breakfast in the morning was good, the area was amazing plenty restaurants and shops around. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Swimming pool was also very nice with plenty of sunbeds available every morning. Also the sun-beds by the sea were included for free. Overall very happy with this hotel, would definitely recommend for family holidays.

Verified reviewQëndrimi im në këtë hotel ishte një përvojë shumë e këndshme. Dhomat ishin të pastra, të bollshme dhe shumë të rehatshme. Stafi ishte jashtëzakonisht i sjellshëm dhe gjithmonë i gatshëm të ndihmonte për çdo kërkesë që kishim. Lokacioni ishte perfekt, shumë afër qe plazhit dhe me qasje të lehtë në pikat kryesore turistike. Mëngjesi ishte i pasur dhe i shijshëm, me shumë opsione për çdo preferencë. Çmimi për shërbimin që ofrohej ishte shumë i arsyeshëm. Në përgjithësi, do ta rekomandoja këtë hotel pa hezitim dhe me siguri do të rikthehem përsër
Thank youu !!

Verified reviewTheir food. Both breakfast and dinner was the best. The hotel its very clean including the duvet. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help you with whatever you need.
I did not like my view in room 504. The nearby buildings look so dull and old making it hard to have a clear sea view from the room.
Thank youu !!
