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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

KosovoYou could only order lunch until 16:00, but the first day we went to order at 15:50, and they barely let us order. The second day we went at 15:30 and they told us "you always come last minute", so we didnt order at all anymore.
It was a private place, ideal for families

SwedenThe breakfast was ok, but the eggs were honestly horrible. Either overcooked and plasticky or undercooked and watery, which unfortunately meant that half of the breakfast buffet wasn’t up to standard. Quite thin walls and we had neighbours who stayed up partying, but shouldn’t be a problem if you have normal people who respect hotel manners in the room next door. Staff were kind to tell them to quiet down upon request and for our last night there was no problem.
Beautiful pool and garden area. Good food at the restaurant for good prices. Nice and helpful staff. Close to the beach with private sunchairs but a more authentic experience with a little more privacy from the general tourism.

United KingdomBreakfast was ok, there was some variety but there were very few hot options, and it became repetitive Location felt a little tricky for tours and it wasn’t easy to get to Tirana for more tour options but we made it work The air conditioner felt a little dated, it was slow starting taking much time for the room to cool, it did become cold but it took time. Also when cleaning the room the curtains and bathroom door would be left open which made the room hotter when coming back to it If you didn’t go to the pool to claim a sunbed early each morning you would find towels on all of the sunbeds which were often unused until the afternoon
The staff were very friendly and helpful Very very clean hotel lots of work is put in for cleanliness which is easy to see Free sunbeds was a huge bonus for value for money, also the beach was a lot quieter than other parts of the beach which was appreciated for relaxation The restaurant food was very good, great value for money also

United KingdomThe managers were grumpy and not helpful at all. They were annoyed if I asked them anything. I had ants in the room and my fridge didn’t work. My friend who was in the second room didn’t have any of these problems. When I asked for them if it can be fixed they ignored it.
Young stuff was very nice and helpful. The room was spacious.

FinlandThe road noise. But generally, the whole strip is by a motorway so you can’t do too much about it. When the windows in the room are closed you can’t hear the road.
The room was very clean and very big. The bathroom clearly was just renovated. The room had a nice, working ac. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The place was still very quiet because it is an out of season. The pool area was lovely and surrounded by greenery. The breakfast was varied, and everything was tasty. Getting to the beach does require you to go through an overpass, but it is super easy to do it and it is only a couple of minutes of a detour. Staying on this side of the road was considerably cheaper, too.

United KingdomSwimming pool water very cold and not very clean .
The property is nice , with a swimming pool, a bar by the pool and very affordable prices for lunch or dinner at the hotel . Food is great , buffet breakfast quite nice , with lots of options to choose from , except for the coffe that aren’t great and there isn’t an option lactose free or vegan for milk . Friendly and helpful staff , especially Vanesa - receptionist, and Ana - waiter . Beach Towels included in price - with a private beach and subbeds included too - shame that to get to the sea you have to cross an horrific bridge, not suitable for those who suffer from vertigo. Parking free included too.

Netherlandsthe curtain doesn’t cover every part of the window, so there’s always a bit where the sun shines through once the sun rises. the doors also pretty thin, you can hear everyone walk/talk past on the corridor. there is no safe box in the room (but stuff can be deposited at the manager’s safe as we were informed). also the sea view isn’t very a sea view as there are buildings in front of the hotel. no menu for the cocktails at the pool area
location- very nice, close enough to everything, but you have to cross the highway on a bridge on your way to and from the beach. the rooms +partially refurbished, kind of the mix of the pics we seen on booking (at the time of august 2023), but it wasn’t disappointing as everything is VERY clean, we got fresh towels and bedding when needed, trash cans were emptied every day. the bed is comfortable, pillows are also nice and there’s some extra in the closet. wi-fi is fast and reliable. hair&body wash was provided, body lotion wasn’t, would have been nice to have. the pool and beach - beach towel is provided by the hotel, which is a very big plus! pool is surprisingly clean and cool, has floor levels for swimming and chilling too. sunbeds are comfortable. the hotel has a private beach area with sunbeds and umbrellas included, very nice and cozy. the staff - at the reception everyone is very nice and accommodating, very quick to help with anything. at the restaurant and pool bar everyone is polite as well, we had no problem at all. cleaning ladies are also very nice and friendly the food - standard buffet breakfast, nothing fancy but everything is alright.
