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.).

ItalyThere are two areas for improvement: the shower drain in the room was slow despite a cleaned filter, likely due to a deeper issue with sand in the pipes. Also, adding a shower near the foot washes on the beach would be convenient for guests to rinse off salt without having to go all the way to the pool.
The hotel is so well-organized and compact. All the amenities are incredibly accessible, and it was great to be able to walk to everything—from the restaurant and bar to the beach and pool—in just a minute.

SwitzerlandWe really enjoyed our stay at Iberotel. It's a great place, we were able to see sea turtles and dugongs. The hotel itself is new, modern, comfortable, with great food and friendly staff. Every morning at breakfast we were greeted by Dina with a big smile and we immediately felt like we were at home. We could turn to her or to any member of the staff with any question, for any help. Our child was delighted with her, the staff and Chef's Heyden's incredible team who treated us from morning to evening. The food was very varied, for every taste, and changing each day. The entertainment program was great and varied. We loved the animation team of Mr Simba, and all artists who performed for us. All the staff were very friendly and made our holiday unforgettable. We initially planned to stay for 4 nights, but we liked it so much that we came back for another 3 nights. We will definitely come here again.

FranceThe price of the taxi ride from the hotel to the airport is ridiculous (35€ for a 10 min ride), the activities recommended by the desk at the hotel are super expensive, the massage at 70€/massage is also ridiculous. It feels like they take advantage of us on every additional element as the hotel is isolated. New modified : After a discussion with the hotel, they have agreed to review their price with their contractor to reduce the price of the taxi. It is interesting to note that they reacted well to this notification and that it will serve future customers.
Very good hotel, lot's of activites to do. The food was very good and the equipment was good. The waiters and the other attending personnel was helpful. The activities offered were diverse.

Unforgettable holidays at Iberotel Costa Mares – like being with family These were some of the best holidays we’ve ever had! Our stay at Iberotel Costa Mares was absolutely exceptional – from the very first moment, we felt not like guests, but like part of a big, warm family. The hotel staff is truly outstanding – kind, smiling, and genuinely dedicated. Our heartfelt thanks go to: • Anwar – our dear friend, • Mohamed Khalaf – always smiling and taking care of everything, • Osama – the irreplaceable front desk manager, • the amazing guys from the pool bar – إخواننا • and Yousif from the beach bar who made every single day of our stay even more special. Special recognition also goes to: • the restaurant staff, always professional and kind, • the housekeeping gentlemen, who took care of every detail with incredible care and friendliness, • and the entire front desk team, for their patience, efficiency, and warm attitude. We can’t mention everyone by name, but each person we encountered contributed to making us feel truly special. Thank you to the entire Iberotel Costa Mares team – you’ve created a place we truly want to come back to. See you in a few months! 😊

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
We recently had a 19 day trip around Egypt and I can definitely say that the Iberotel Costa Mares was the best hotel/resort that we stayed at in Egypt and on par with other 5 star resorts we’ve stayed at around the world. We had two deluxe family ground floor rooms with views on the gorgeous 45m long pool for our family of five. The rooms were very spatial, comfortable, clean and had all the modern conveniences you’d want. We spent our days moving from the pool to the beach and back again. The resort’s position on the bay is perfect for swimming with the sea turtles and the sea cows (dugong). There are other reviews that criticise the tour boats being the in the bay but this didn’t bother us - they are far enough from the shore and the bay is certainly big enough for everyone to enjoy. The dive centre, less than 10 minutes walk down the beach at the sister resort, is an added bonus. We had a great excursion to the Dolphin House where one in our group was able to dive while the rest of us did snorkelling. We chose Costa Mares for the location and the great reviews on the food and service. Khalif and his food and beverage team certainly didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed our meals at the Coral Restaurant (buffet) where there is a vast selection of Egyptian and International foods and always freshly grilled or barbecue meat and fish in the evening. The food was fresh, tasty and good quality. Special mentions to Mohamed Allam and both Ahmeds at the Coral Restaurant, Ahmed Mahout at the pool bar and lifeguard Amr who looked after us so well, greeted us with smiles and genuine kindness and worked so hard to ensure that we always received 5 star service. Thank you to the lovely staff for making our stay at Costa Mares such a wonderful holiday.

United StatesDinner buffet seemed a bit basic, but certainly adequate. The bay is congested with party boats during the day (not the hotel's fault).
We stayed in a suite which was very nice but would not be representative of the other rooms. Beautiful grounds, nice staff and a great beach.

BelgiumThe music from the reception area clashed with the animators' music, so it wasn't very pleasant. The rest was fine.
The hotel is lovely with a comfortable pool and a sandy beach nearby (no coral reef). The food selection was good as well for our 3 nights. The staff is well trained and very attentive.

GreeceThe all-inclusive rate was a bit elevated, but in being all-inclusive it was convenient to access all the amenities with ease. The hotel sits on a protected and vital bay, so the utmost vigilance must be given. The staff around the pool and in the restaurant were, at times, too attentive. The lack of elevators in some buildings makes access to some more challenging. The Sky Bar has lovely views, but horrible drinks. The main restaurant offered lots of food, however, the chef did not provide enough vegan options, so my choices were limited. After all, many choose to eat plant-based diets which are healthier and more sustainable! The expansion of the properties is quite much and may eventually overwhelm this beautiful bay.
The Iberotel Costa Mares is a lovely "green" hotel, with kind staff and comfortable rooms. The views from the room to the pool area and the sea are beautiful. The main restaurant/buffet area is quite open and modern, the food is delicious and there are many options. The attention to recycling, awareness of waste disposal, the information boards as to the marine life, etc. is what one would expect and demand in such a place. The pool is refreshing and easy to swim in. The beach is well-kept and exclusive to this hotel. Snorkeling is a must in this bay.
