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.).

NetherlandsThe bar service for all-inclusive guests could be improved, as waiting times were sometimes longer than expected and a few cocktails felt less refined.
The room had a beautiful sea view. There was live music every evening, which created a wonderful atmosphere. The food was very good, with a wide variety to choose from. The water was absolutely stunning — so clear and blue. The location is right in front of the boats to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo, and not far from the Gozo ferry.

United KingdomRiviera Spa has several board types - breakfast only, half board and all inclusive. The all inclusive feels very limited. Even staff seemed to be confused as to what we could and couldn't have - one day we were given something as part of all inclusive and the next day told it was unavailable. Even with all inclusive, ice cream was not included by the pools and even with an all inclusive wristband we were asked to pay for dinner. Brand spirits were all inclusive but a €2.50 slushie was not. There just seemed to be a lot of confusion and despite being all inclusive, we felt just as limited as a half board customer.
Staff were amazing; from front desk to bar staff to the cleaners. All polite and kind and helpful.

UkraineThe only downside I would like to mention is that there was a slight lack of variety in the entertainment programs. Also, on the nearest sandy beach available, there were quite a lot of stones and seaweed, which made swimming and relaxing a bit more difficult. However, these are minor drawbacks compared to all the advantages I mentioned above.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! 🌊 From my room, I had a breathtaking sea view, and the apartments were very comfortable and spotless. The staff was welcoming, kind, and friendly, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The interior of the hotel is stylish and cozy. I would especially like to highlight the food: the variety is truly impressive, everything was deliciously prepared — simply excellent, nothing to add! 👌

ItalyThe previous management took better care of maintenance and in overall of the hotel, at least based one what we have seen 3 years ago and now. Therefore I doubt a bit on you get what you pay, bit high priced.
Nice resort, with many options to eat and entertain. Just in front of it you have the boat to Blue lagoon Comino island. Lebanes Byblos is always recommended. Nice pools.

United KingdomThe only thing that was a little disappointing was the location as it is quite remote. This did not cause any issues as the island bus and taxi services are very good.
We found the hotel and facilities very good. The staff were all very helpful and eager to please. The drinks choices on AI were very and always served in very nice glasses. Food was of a high standard with plenty of choice to suit all guests.

GermanyOnce, towels were forgotten, but this was quickly resolved. I couldn’t find the reception number in the room. Breakfast was varied, but the juices seemed to be powdered rather than fresh. I’d prefer one good fresh juice over several low-quality options. Omelettes were a bit dry. The location is quiet, with no shops nearby except for a small mobile stall.
Our stay was wonderful. We had a beautiful, modern sea-view room, and on top of that we unexpectedly got our own terrace Whirlpool – a fantastic surprise that made the stay even more special! The room was spotless, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. A great bonus was the opportunity to attend Aerial Yoga (yoga on suspended fabrics) class at the hotel. It was a refreshing experience, we really enjoyed it. There are different classes and exercises available every day. A big plus is the quick boat connection right by the hotel, which takes you to Comino Island in just 25 minutes. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

FranceThe only downside to my stay was the noticeable smell of humidity in some areas of the hotel, specially our room, which affected the overall atmosphere. Addressing this issue would make the experience even more enjoyable.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, close to everything.. GOZO, BLUE LAGOON... Everything was excellent: the welcome, the comfortable rooms, the pool, the hammam, and the sauna. A truly pleasant experience that I highly recommend!

PortugalNothing to report.
The resort's excellent location by the sea, with beautiful views of the Mediterranean and just a few meters from a pier for the Blue Lagoon and Comino, as well as other destinations and nautical activities. The room was spacious, extremely clean, and had all the amenities necessary for a pleasant stay. The outdoor pools are fantastic, as is the indoor pool at the spa. Regarding the food, we stayed half-board, and both breakfast and dinner had several options, fresh food, and varied healthy options, always replaced by the team. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and always attentive to guests' needs. I'd like to point out that when we checked in, we arrived after dinner time, and the receptionist at the time, Daniel, gave us a voucher for lunch the next day at the lobby bar, as well as two bags with sandwiches, fruit, and juices so we didn't go to Room without eating something. In short, an excellent stay, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for providing us with a fantastic vacation!

South AfricaThe gym we used every morning, but the equipment was so difficult to use. The machines work on a strange weighted system that would either make the weights too heavy or too light. Really very frustrating for all who tried to use them.
The room size, pool view and partial sea view. The restaurants, especially the Lebanese restaurant that was 10/10. The pool areas, the staff whom were very friendly. Reception staff always very willing to help. The location was great, quiet and peaceful.
