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.).

United KingdomThere isn’t much to do in the immediate area around the hotel, and it’s quite a distance from shops and restaurants. We weren’t informed that housekeeping wouldn’t be available on Friday and Sunday, which was disappointing since we expected the room to be cleaned and to have fresh towels after returning from the beach. The food options were also rather repetitive. However, my son loved the bakery options at breakfast.
We stayed with two young children, and they especially enjoyed the hotel’s facilities, particularly the swimming pools. It’s a great option for families looking to stay outside the town in a peaceful area. The nearest beach is about a 15-minute walk away, though there aren’t many facilities available there.

IrelandOnly issue for me was the lifts not really adequate for the amount of apartments and unfortunately one lift was out of order on the last two days of our holiday
Loved the pool area great for keeping the kids occupied. Key wrist bands great no need to worry about forgetting keys or losing them. Love the cleaners coming in every day especially changing the towels.

IrelandLoved it all! Set up was brilliant. Amazing spot for kids all ages and location was brilliant, so close to lots of different areas and activities. Breakfast was fabulous 10/10.. i could live off the glazed mini donuts/orange juice. The cleaning standards very high inside the apartments and shops/restaurants on site had so much to choose from. So many large pools to pick from and all staff so welcoming and helpful. Found the minimarket fairly cheap for being so accessible. Balcony was massive and just a dream in the early mornings and late evenings.

PortugalIn our room, we noticed a lot of ants wandering around the room. I found a live cockroach in the bathroom.
The Breakfast restaurant is a nice big area, lots of room for all the people. The location of the hotel is just outside of the busy Albufeira. Our hotel room is a good size for a family of 4.

SwedenOur kitchen ventilation didn’t work Gym, please have better stuff ( cable machine and smith machine) then you can do more exercise and heavier as light. Slides close at 18 but said 19.
Slides, pool, the apartment. Love the kitchen. Lots of sun beds- not many people reserving sunbeds even if it is forbidden like they do at the canaries. Prices at the hotel- not totally overpriced as it often is. Location off the crowded Albufeira. Bering able to access the other sister hotel. Better gym at that one.

AustraliaThe room service was hit and miss. The rooms weren’t serviced for 2 days due to them attending late afternoon after our day out. We needed to use our room at this time. It’s usual to have rooms cleaned earlier in the day.
Clean and lots of space. The room was large and a fabulous large balcony to relax at night.
