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.).

It is a very comfortable modern hotel with a nice and large room. The reception was very kind and they organized both a taxi transfer for us in the morning (very early) and a packed breakfast because of the early morning flight. Good location to take a walk on your own and see some places and shops

Everything, good wifi, nice room, nice staff with good english. Fantastic breakfast. Most people go to Aktau for a trip to Mangistau, the lovely lady at the reception could help you with contacting touroperators for a trip. We booked a trip online and if the hotel had helped us it would have saved us 200 dollars for a 3 days trip.

I arrived early and the man working at reception was not very welcoming. Just asked me what date my reservation was for and told me “you are too early”. I guess it would be nice to be offered a cup of tea maybe :).
I stayed in this hotel twice and would gladly stay again. It’s central in terms of location; high quality of sleep; great breakfast. Good WiFi and other amenities. Even when busy it does not feel crowded.

I think the male receptionists need more training in customer service: no smiles, no “welcome” or “thank you for the stay”; I also had one request where the receptionist flatly refused to help but his colleague (a lady from the back office) solved it for me.
Great hotel overall The room is well appointed, bed very comfortable, strong shower; all amenities are there. Lovely breakfast and then you can have some Indian food for dinner in their restaurant. Location is convenient, central and about 10-15 min walk to the seaside. I was very pleased with the ladies working there, both at reception and in the back office. They were kind and efficient at the same time.

The menu of the restaurant doesn’t contain any meal for kind, it would be good to have something like soup at least.

It is a great stay for Indians in a place like Aktau because the Restaurant Manager and Chef are Indian and they will serve you very good Indian Veg-Non Veg meal in Lunch and dinner, if you pre-order. However, they have limited options for vegetarians in their Breakfast. Except the Indian restaurant manager, no other staff in the restaurant understand English. I faced this problem in almost all hotels in Kazakhstan.
