Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomRooms need freshening up with some new decoration.
Lovely beachfront hotel. Staff at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful from the moment they met us off the ferry. Room was quirky but maybe needed a bit of TLC. Nice breakfast included and served in the hotel restaurant (or can be served outside on request). Location is stunning - direct access to the beach and about 10 minutes stroll along the beach to a selection of bars and restaurants.

United KingdomThe hotel doesn't quite hit the mark what with the opportunity it has with being located on the best part of Saracen beach. The food was overpriced so we ended up eating at the more touristy / backpacker end of the beach and judging by how busy the restaurant was, so did all the other guests; consequently, there wasn't much of a vibe about the place. Shame really...
We stayed in one of their round dome houses which were spectacular. The room was fun being completely circular with a circular bed in the middle. The beach was lovely with gorgeous white sand and blue water to swim in.

United Kingdomnothing, anyone that writes a bad review about this place is a divvy
very quiet at night. quiet part of the beach so basically got it to yourself. I kept renewing my stay in total I spent five nights here and didn’t want to leave. breakfast is all you need! eggs cooked when needed, fresh bread, fruit platters, cereal, milk, tea and coffee plus the usual Asian breakfast dishes. the staff are always around to help and very friendly. I was up around 6am every morning and the groundskeepers were cleaning, raking sand and leaves and brushing patio areas.

United KingdomThe spray painted graffiti by the Cambodian government making visitors feel unwelcome.
The beach and grounds were kept really clean by the staff. Dinner on the beach was really nice. The food was excellent and well priced. Breakfast is limited and not up to much. The domed dining hall is a bit depressing. Unfortunately the Cambodian government are trying to evict the owners of this hotel and other hotels and bars and come around spraying massages with eviction dates on the buildings, so they can sell leases to developers, so this island will be spoilt and never be the same again. We wish the owners and brilliant staff well in the difficult situation that they find themselves in.

United KingdomOur room did not get cleaned during our stay here even though we specifically asked for it to be cleaned whilst we were out for the day. The food was expensive but very enjoyable. It was not made clear to us before we arrived that we would need to get a water taxi over to the property as it would have been a 45 min walk along the beach otherwise. We did managed to get a water taxi quite easily but had to pay extra for this.
The room was very beautiful and the bed was very comfortable with a great location on the beach front and it was only a 20 min walk from lazy beach which is also a very beautiful beach. The food was very nice but a little on the expensive side.

IrelandThe bathroom was a bit on the small side and the shower wasn't very powerful. We also struggled to get hot water which was only really an issue on the day the weather was bad. The restaurant area inside the big dome is very basic, but obviously it's preferable to eat at the tables along the sea front if the weather allows.
The dome was such a unique experience, having travelled around Cambodia for $40-50 a night this was a bit of splash out and so worth it. Particularly when the rain set in on second afternoon and we were confined to our room for a few hours of rain, thunder and lightening. I spent hours reading in the window seat while my partner watched movies from the collection stored on the tv. The pool area and cabana beds were really relaxing and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The restaurant menu had a good selection, we ate here both nights, the second due to weather.

United KingdomAlthough the room was nice, the bathroom was outside and there were gaps around the windows/doors into the room meaning you were joined by wildlife e.g crickets and lizards (mostly on a night time) This really bothered us as we don’t like lizards and one night 1 got into our room so we spent most of the night awake paranoid! The beach location is beautiful however it is a 10 minute walk up the beach to where the restaurants/bars are. The hotel could do with a good refresh in terms on paint jobs (around pool area and exterior of rooms) and a good clean to make it look as inviting as the photos.
The hotel messaged us prior to our arrival and arranged to pick us up from the pier and bring us to the resort which was nice and saved us a fair walk down the beach. We then enjoyed quick check in and a welcome drink. The resort was right on the beach and had free kayaks and paddle boards for guests to use. The room was a good size however a little more run down than we expected and required some TLC. WiFi was decent and our room had a smart tv with movies loaded was nice on a night time. Robes, bath and pool towels and basic toiletries also provided. A/C worked perfect and a fan also provided.
