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.).

Czech RepublicNoise at night in rooms located to the island. There is a Mosque with very late and early noisy prayers, very close is being build new house, work is over night. Hotel tours are cheaper, but badly organized with useless delays and little time spent in attractions.
Great location, nice rooms.

Czech RepublicOlder rooms, you could see in detail that it needs some revitalisation over the years of use. Constructions in close vicinity - if you go out for an activity you do not notice as it stops by 4pm.
Breakfast was very simple and basic, every day the same. But we got used to. Staff extremely helpful and open to any requirements.

AustraliaLoud music Wi fi not great and some days, didnt work. Food not great. Aircon wasnt strong
The hotel looks amazing in the pictures, however, it was a lot older in person. There is construction everywhere. On both sides of the hotel. we were lucky that they weren't working right next to our room. Other guests weren't so lucky They also blast music for hours every night and when we asked what time it will be turned off, they said 11pm. There was no one around listening to the music. We don't even know why they had it on. The aircon would only go to 24 degrees which isn't great in that heat. The breakfast was a little sad. I wouldn't suggest going full board. There are lots of restaurants near by. It was great to be able to walk everywhere from the hotel. We also booked all of our tours through the hotel.

BulgariaWe were expecting more from the room - it didn't look as fancy as the photos, most of the furniture was a bit old. The room was overall quiet, but the muslim prayer a few times a day was quite audible - specifically at night at 5 am, it was always waking us up.
We had a very pleasant stay at Crystal Sands. The staff was super nice and the hotel itself is quite accommodating. They let us check in much earlier than the original check in time. We enjoyed the breakfast, even though it did not have that much variety, the food was delicious. We also took advantage of the excursions they were offering and really enjoyed them.

SwedenThe buffe food was unfortunately not up to standard. The evening buffe was cold and the breakfast basic. If you plan to receive visitors, this hotel has a policy not to allow visitors in the hotel. The description of the hotel as "on the beach" is misleading. On the street close ro shore is more accurate.
Location is good and the possibility to book excursions at the hotel is a good service. Very close to the port. Nice large room to an ok price.

FranceBreakfast is really poor. Balcony, i asked them to fix the lock 3 times and never did it.. I was always afraid. My room was always accessible because I was on the first floor. Noise until late at night due to the next construction. Tour book through them very bad and expensive.. use triton or icom for any tour.. I asked for a refund and they never gave me.. also, they didn't respect the 10% off as genius that was supposed to obtain for snorkeling booking. Even i paid 4% more for credit card payment.
The bed .the location.

United StatesOur room's window looked directly out onto a construction zone where people could walk right up to our window. The wifi was TERRIBLE - it does not work in the rooms even though it says it should. We had to sit in the lobby to use the internet which was quite frustrating. The breakfast was basic and not that good. And the staff didn't seem the most knowledgable.
It was fine, but not what we were hoping for. It's in a good location.

SerbiaRooms that we got have unacceptable view of the construction beam that belongs to the next building that is literally 30cm away from the window, so you have the view of building that is in middle of cobstruction.Besides that, it was loud all day long starting from as early as 6-30am until 17h, stay away from the Maffushi in general as it is construction site all over the islands, you'll see for yourself they are either building new places or demolishing old ones, it is nothing close to what people are expecting from the Maldives, I warmly suggest Fulidhoo, Thinadhoo there you get the real sensation of the Maldives

HungaryMany building sites, therefore noisy. Poor water pressure. We had a view on a concrete and rusty roofs. After paid fishing trip, for dinner, we got really poor quality fish and a rather modest amount.
The hotel is close to the beach and restaurants. It has a nice, tidy front garden. Breakfast correct and their banana split is delicious! The lady at the reception tries her best.
