Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndiaThe food was designed mostly for a European palate - especially the Creole and Thai, which should be spicier. A more regular buggy service would have helped, given the sheer size of the place and the frequent rain and hot days.
The variety of facilities and all-inclusive nature of these was very good. All aspects of service were excellent. The variety and quality of food was also great. The rooms were of a good size and well-appointed for the seaside context. The vast size of the resort was a surprise.

United KingdomWaiter service in the bar was slow and sometimes not very friendly. Coffee at breakfast was lukewarm at best.
Location, access to marine reserve . Good snorkelling with some live coral and many species of fish. We also saw a turtle which was a bonus . Most of the staff were very friendly. The water sports guys were helpful and supportive on snorkelling trips. Waiters in the Sirius restaurant were particularly friendly and helpful.

United KingdomNoticed that couples and families were given lots of attention. A single person very much left alone. Had to make a big effort to get any attention for service. Not sure why. Another single lady told me she hadn't been able to get a drink as she was too shy to go to the bar or raise her hand. Had been there for 3 days! I had to go to the bar to get served to start with. Had to stop a waitress in the dining area to get tea at breakfast. Was never approached as couples and families were.
Beautiful hotel with lots of beaches. Plenty to do sports wise or just relax

Czech RepublicThe rooms are not new, but we did not mind, as long as it’s clean. I guess it still could benefit from a better cleaning service though, just to make it impeccable.
The property is gorgeous. It has 3 big beaches, a SPA, restaurants, pools, sports center…A really nice resort! Friendly staff, the cuisine was excellent, copious breakfast, themed dinners.

SwitzerlandRoom. We are shocked that the receptionist sold us a room with a non working air conditioner. We arrived at night after the 18h flight & found a huge cockroach near the safety box. I've asked to be handled immediately, but unfortunately they said it's late, they going to handle it tomorrow, as we are going to change to another room now for sleep - < 10am because it would be another guests coming for c'in. We're really disappointed as if we let the cockroach for the next day it would be gone already. During our stay, especially my wife, she didn't feel comfortable at all. We really hope that in the future, this kind of gesture won't repeat anymore, as we would like to come again next year. Breakfast. Please be more organised for breakfast ( fruits sections ), always empty, the fruit employee was so slow ( a lady ) while the line is long, while another gentleman more well prepared cutted all the fruits in advanced & ready in the plastic boxes. Dinner. Need more improvement for dinner, as we've noticed, if the breakfast's more organised & more tasty, the dinner's tasteful. During our stay for 2 weeks in any other Beach Combers, 4 nights in Shandrani is the worst dinner as tasteless & poor organised for dinner organisation to have a table.
We love 1 of the beaches, which is very quiet & unlimited access for snorkling as so much live corals & beautiful fishes. Please don't give a limit access for snorkling ( like a net ) & neither the nautical sports like jet skiing / others as it'll destroying the corals automatically chasing the fishes away as this is the main reason we stay in your hotel as other guests as we met & discussed on the spot. We really appreciate having a separate section for breakfast away from the family section, as we wish to have the same access for dinner. It's a very good idea to separate couples with no kids being separated from family noises as we are looking for quitness during our stay. As we've chosen & planned to stay in your resort in the future every year.

Rooms were very good ,resort is quite large but facilities were excellent . Considering the resort was full most of the time we were there they offer something pretty special .The staff make it what it is, management are visible every day .

United KingdomJust looking a little careworn in parts now in room/bathroom/thatched roof. Bathroom was up & down 2 wooden steps so care is needed at night if you wake up to go to the loo. But it didn’t spoil our short stay
Beautiful position near 3beaches-just a few steps away. Near airport so you do see some low planes. Lovely pool also. Thai restaurant Teak Elephant ( free but need to book) was amazing. Thanks to Brian our waiter !

SwitzerlandRestaurant availability was disappointing. We were there four nights and tried to book the restaurants just when we arrived but there were all fully booked. Apparently booking 4 nights in advance is not enough! You may want to try and book them before travelling! The buffet restaurant is ok, but repetitive after a couple of days.
The resort is big and has a lot of customers but you do not have the feeling that the beaches or the pools are crowded. It has three different beaches, which is really nice depending on what you want to do (quiet bay, open ocean beach with big waves) They have plenty of water activities, all are for free (stand up paddle, water ski, kayaks...) and booking is uncomplicated. You do hear the planes from time to time but it is not really a disturbance. At the first sight you notice that the hotel room needs renovation, but in the end you are mostly outdoor and it is fine.
