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 reviewNew apart hotel, very near from the beach, about 50 metres, friendly staff, free sunbeds, tasty food
The sea was dirty with specific smell, after afternoon floating garbage, although it is clearing in the morning. Street dogs run on the beach and hotel, swim in the same place as people, defecate right on the beach, no one of personal monitors or controls this. It's worth going outside the hotel and you will see dirt and poverty.

Verified reviewWe had the pleasure of spending two weeks at this hotel and our experience was outstanding. The service, atmosphere, and room quality exceeded our expectations, but what impressed us most was the exceptional hospitality. Every member of the team were kind, generous, and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The on-site restaurant was also excellent, offering high-quality dishes at very fair prices. A special word of praise goes to the manager, whose personal warmth, professionalism, and genuine care set the highest standard of hospitality we have ever experienced. We look forward to returning and can highly recommend this hotel.

Verified reviewThe owner is hands-on and ensures great customer service. The servers are all friendly and accommodating.
The ocean at this hotel is nothing like in the pictures. It is a terrible dirty, smelly beach. It is a 30 minute drive from the hotel to get to the most beautiful beaches.

Too expensive for what it is. Not clean, no shampoo or shower gel, we needed to ask for ourselves. Workers seem somehow tired of the people, Kind of angry when I asked for gluten free options, which they didn't know what that is

The accommodation does not offer good value for money. The rate is disproportionately high relative to the quality and amenities of the room. There were no notable features, and guests are required to carry their own luggage up the stairs

Verified reviewGreat location right on the beach! Beach chairs available for hotel guests including showers on the beach. Sand beach, no water shoes needed.
Breakfast buffet was alright, not very many options for vegetarians. And the restaurant has small serving sizes

Verified reviewAn unforgettable experience! This is a wonderful hotel with a perfect location — right on the sea, with its own sandy beach and private sunbeds. The on-site restaurant is excellent, serving delicious food with outstanding service. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and offer breathtaking sea views. I want to give a special thank you to the staff — such positive, open, and kind people, always ready to help with anything. We truly felt at home here, and we are 100% sure we want to come back again, and only to this hotel!
Install mosquito nets on the windows, at least on one side.

Verified reviewPrivate part of the beach, the view, stylish design.
The staff is not trained, not attentive. Most of the time busy talking to each other or not at their places, rather than taking care of the guests. Small details as paper cups at breakfast, loud disturbing music also ruin the experience.

Verified reviewI was excited for a beach get away, unfortunately we were disappointed. The room was odd and made sub par, different from the pictures. There was a bucket on the balcony to clean the water from the air conditioning “if we wanted”said the staff. I thought they were joking when I asked if they would make up the extra bed for our son, the receptionist said I could do it if I want. This wasn't in the main building but a side building next to the hotel. At midnight, every night someone was moving or cleaning for an hour. I would have loved to listen to the sound of the sea but there was music blaring on the beach and cafe all the time. If you like that, then you will like this hotel.
The restaurant was excellent. We ate at many restaurants on the strip but the hotels restaurant is by far the best, restaurant to our relief.

Verified reviewGreat location and the beach was very nice. Front desk staff were great. The main building was nice and the outdoor dining was very pretty. Lots of mosquitoes at night, so be sure to bring bug spray.
The shower in the room flooded every time you used it. We had to build a dam of towels to stop the water from entering the room. The food was good but service was sometimes slow. The coffee at breakfast was really terrible and trying to order a cappuccino (willing to pay for it) was almost impossible. We were tipping very well and it didn’t seem to matter. The servers were annoyed that they had to get it. The walkway from the rooms to the main building could use some improvement… the stairs are weird and in bad condition.

Verified reviewNice hotel with beautiful terrace and a beach. Receptionist was very helpful.
Although there were comfortable beds and showers on the beach, there was a mess. I would expect from 4star hotel to clean its beach and not to see any tissues or cans when walking to the sea. Restaurant was very nice and the food was good, but I had to wait 10 minutes for some waitor to notice me.
