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 KingdomSmall amount of choices for food at both breakfast and dinner Severe lack of pool towels was annoying, considering theyre not catering for many guests Edge of pool is ridiculously slippy - the tiled edge is angled into the water, and as i attempted to access the pool via the ladder, my whole leg that was on the edge of the pool, slid down between the ladder and the pool wall, and i had to be pulled out as i couldnt get back out.
Overall the hotel is lovely! With only a small number of rooms, our stay felt somewhat personal, and definitely not crowded. The room was great, and the wifi was fast. The pool was lovely and for the majority of the time, the sea was very calm.

My mother and I has a fantastic stay. The staff was excellent, the food was good and the beach to pool ratio was perfect. The location is in the southern part of the island, where it is quiet and relaxing. The staff really went out of their way to make you comfortable, have all the information you need and they always did it with a smile on their faces.

TurkeyPeople at the reception were not very nice upon arrival. I gave them my passport and the receptionist asked “do you have the booking confirmation paper” I replied that “but don’t you see on your system my name and the booking? I can show the booking confirmation on my phone but I need the wifi first to be able to access it” and she replied back with “I can’t give you the wifi password before confirming, don’t you have 3G on your phone?” Which I think was not very nice and how does the hotel doesn’t see in their own system my name and booking? I managed to find the screenshot of my confirmation email and she gave me the room keys and informed me about the check-out and breakfast hours. There was no other information provided, compared to the other hotels I stayed in the area where they give you a small tour of the hotel and information about the facilities. The receptionist just wasn’t very welcoming with her tone of voice and facial expressions but maybe it is something cultural because I am used to more a smiley face service!
The property itself is nice and clean, the rooms are very spacious, big balcony with jacuzzi, the pool area is neat and right on the beach. It was very thoughtful of them that if you have a early check out and can’t make it for the breakfast time, they prepare a take-away breakfast basket for you.

BelgiumWe had half-board. The prices for drinks and food (during the day), are very expensive, really exagerated. It is normal to have higher prices at a hotel, but not 5 times more expensive.
We were looking for a small hotel at the beach in a quite place and that's what we got. All rooms have sea view, are spacious and clean. We had daily 3 bottles of water in the room. The staff is the restaurant is very kind and helpfull and just enough present. The cleaning service in the room perfect as well. The pool is amazing. The beach wonderful. As there are only 30 rooms and the hotel was not even full, we had the impression we had a private beach. The food was also fine, however, for dinner not as many choices as you would expect from a 4* hotel. We arrived in the morning already and we were able to enjoy our room as from 10 AM, this was a very nice surprise for us!

Czech Republicthe water pressure (shower and tub) was bad in general, we had whirpool at the balcony, but to fill it up it took ages, and the water run yellowish ....
Very nice location with nice beach, breakfast was always nice, our room was also nice (king seafront 2nd floor with lovely view indeed), in general quiet smaller place, I also enjoyed local spa - that girl was great (wrap and massage), nice staff, we stayed 3 nights only. Restaurant was ok, to be honest the grilled seafood platter was not that amazing for that price , we did have better elsewhere indeed, but in general OK.
