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.).

RomaniaI had the feeling that the food is almost the same everyday so maybe this could be an issue for a long stay. A beach bar would have been nice as well. Consider that you have to go for around 150-200m from the beach to the pool bar if you need a drink or an ice cream.
Nice and modern hotel, decorated as a tribute to Amelia Earhart. The room was very spacious and comfortable, everything looking high quality brand new. Overall this was the best hotel I stayed in Bulgaria until now.

RomaniaHowever, compared to 3 years ago, I can see a decrease in the quality of services: - less variety at the restaurant, during a 7-day stay there was mainly chicken/pork as meat, no duck and only once, lamb and rabbit roast. Although, they introduced some already made cocktails at dinner, which is a good point, as well as having fish dishes at every meal. - the cosmetics in the room that used to be Fragonard were partially replaced by a Bulgarian brand and I was given only one body lotion in 7 days. - there was a misunderstanding caused by the maid and the staff (reception and manager) wasn't in a hurry to solve it, until I made a written complaint. I was asked to wait 24h+ for the incident to be solved, which given the nature of the complaint is not at all professional, nor have I received any apologies for what happened. - there was a stain on the carpet in the room, as well as the headboard of the bed wasn't very clean - when the guests were more numerous because of the bank holiday, the staff was struggling both in the restaurant (taking more time to clean and refill the food), at the bar and cleaning rooms late in the afternoon. All in all these are small flaws, but as it is a 5-star hotel, I expect things to go as flawless as possible.
This is my 3rd year in Amelia Hotel, since they reopened it. It remains a good quality hotel, with clean, large modern rooms, good offer at the restaurant and polite staff. Overall, it was a good and relaxing stay, Amelia & Paradise Blue remaining the best hotels in Albena.

RomaniaThe beach bar could have had more of the drinks from the main bar, a bit lackluster, we found ourselves going to the main bar for getting drinks instead.
Everything was perfect, the food was good, included drinks were good (not top shelf, but not cheap stuff either). The rooms were clean and the staff was very nice. The facilities included were great, as well as the pool with the included aqua park.

United Kingdom- Service is hit and miss. Staff need better training as some of them lack basic customer service experience - Premium alcohol brands are paid for and even basic cocktails like mojito are not included. Ultra all inclusive suggests that everything is included which is not the case. - Kids pools are very slippery (bizarrely only the adult pool has non slip tiles) - Hotel sustainability can be improved - heavy use of single use plastic cups, recycling bin with separate sections for glass, general waste and paper which all end up into the same rubbish bag - Entertainment is very basic
- Great location - Luxury rooms with big beds and living space, big bathroom and balcony. Good quality bed linen and towels. - Tasty and varied food at the buffet restaurant. Plenty of food which is always replenished and lots of fruit and salad options which we loved - Late breakfast and afternoon snacks options - Lobby bar doesn’t get busy so ideal if you want some quiet drinks - Big beach area with many sunbeds and lots of space between them which was amazing (note only 2 sunbeds and parasol per room, if you come with kids and need extra you have to pay)

United KingdomThe only thing was that the area around the pool was dirty with lots of sand. The staff at the pool bar were inexperienced,quite rude, and took forever to make drinks, not to mention that the drinks were terrible. One of them said they didn't know how to do the cocktails.
Liked the food , and the rooms were spacious.The beds were super comfortable. The staff was really attentive and helpful. Andy was particularly helpful.

BulgariaFood was not very tasty but that might be a personal opinion! Some flies were on the fruits which indicated they weren't replaced from breakfast/lunch and overall it wasn't very pleasing for a 5 star hotel. (our stay was a bit off season, but still we expected more)
Rooms were great and extremely comfortable, especially the bed! Pool had small water slides, which were great!

LuxembourgI did not like that the swimming pool on the top was not included in the price of the room. It was full but empty of people and the bar was abandoned and nobody was using it. I don't understand why it was made if nobody is using this facility and people need to pay extra to use the bar and the pool. The pool was very small anyway we were offered to see it, but there was nothing interesting there. I guess its for special guests of the hotel. So I felt like I was not a special guest.
I like the hotel very much. Rooms are very big and comfortable. Nice garden view. Quite and well done. Bathroom as well very nice, shower was very clean.

5 star stay, things only got better since last year. Large, clean room, Fragonard cosmetics, change of towels daily. All meals were good, with new plates compared to last year. Wide variety of meat, fish and vegetables. Everything was clean, waiters very efficient, kind and helpful receptionist and bell boy.

RomaniaThe hotel is new and very modern looking, both on the outside and on the inside. Next to it, is the old hotel that belongs to the same resort. The old one has in-door and out-door pools that you can use regardless of which hotel you choose to stay. The new hotel (the one in this review) also has a cool roof-top pool with a bar. In front of the outside pool is the beach, where you can stay freely from the third row towards the hotel (towards the sea you have to pay).
