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 reviewHotel still quite new and well looked after, rooms comfortable and right on the sea
I found some of the staff in the dining area a little surly and unfriendly, doesn't seem like a good vibe amongst some of the staff. Reception staff were a lot more welcoming.

Verified reviewThe breakfast buffet really did have everything imaginable. From fresh fruits to hot dishes, it was the perfect way to start the day while overlooking the ocean. My room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a breathtaking sea view right on the rocks by the water. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves was unforgettable. Great service & peace of mind: The staff were warm and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcomed. One of the most magical moments was watching the full moon reflect on the ocean from my window, with the soothing sound of the sea in the background. The sunsets and sunrises were equally spectacular.

Verified reviewA horrible experience. The front desk agent Jenna was extremely rude and unprofessional, we handed over the key to her earlier than check out time. Once returned for check out we found out she lost our key and worst of all blame it on us, even calling my mother a liar, saying we did not provide her with any key, multiple times. This is completely unacceptable, when we even asked for them to check the cameras and prove that the room key was provided they mentioned that it is not possible to do that and reiterated that we did not provide them the key, even when we did. Additionally, on the prior night of our dinner there was a delay of over an hour for the food to come to our table, this whole situation made our stay here quite unpleasant. Oysters are good but definitely not worth the hustle and bad experience. Not recommended.
Dear Guest, Thank you for posting your feedback. Due to the seriousness of your comments, I have carried out an in-depth internal investigation and clearly, we failed you. Please accept my sincerest apologies. This is the first time since our opening on 24 April 1998 that we have experienced such a situation. The staff members involved have been reprimanded and we have taken steps to ensure that such an incident will never re-occur. I can assure you that the vast majority of our guests and repeat guests love our hotel, our professional friendly service, our renovated rooms and facilities and our fantastic location. Hence, why it saddens me that we failed you. Your support is greatly appreciated. Kindest regards, Ulf Gruenewald (GM)
