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.).

RomaniaWiFi reception was really bad in the rooms (practically non existent), but alright in the lobby (still not that good though). Beds did not have a fitted sheet and the main sheet would come off the mattress during the night. Mattresses were soft (though that may be preferred by some).
The food and the accomodation were good, perfectly fitting our expectations. We both enjoyed the large shower cabin. The staff was very nice and understanding. Very good value.

RomaniaNon-existent internet, few TV programs, elevator without air conditioning. Rude restaurant staff, same food everyday (old and untasty sometimes ) They don't publish the hotel rules for the deposit per person on Booking. 20euro /person . Because of this, the hotel manager behaved like a hooligan with me when I asked her for money, and cursed the Booking app. I'm not coming back here again in my life!
I liked the spacious room, large bathroom with accessories and the balcony.

RomaniaNothing to complain about from my point of view, maybe the thin walls, you can hear noises from the other rooms. Other hotel guests were pretty quiet. Keep in mind that this resort is full of party people, so it might be suited for younger travelers. Sometimes at night you could hear all the adolescents shouting in the street, while partying or going to their hotels. But if you consider the price and all of the facilities this hotel provides, i think it is a good bang for the buck.
The first thing that i liked about this is was the fact that the hotel has a parking place, so we didn't have to worry about finding one elsewhere. Everything was ok, the food was good, tasty and fresh, maybe not as diverse as some would like, but for us it was more than enough. The drinks were ok, they have cola, fanta, sprite, schweppes from a soda dispenser/soda fountain. For non-carbonated drinks they have water, orange flavour juice and apple flavour juice served as well from a didpenser. They also have alcoholic drinks and cocktails. The coffee drinks are based on some kind of instant coffe, decent enough if you are not very picky. The hotel's pool was clean, it has a part for the kids and a part for adults. There are a few sunbeds by the pool, with mats and umbrellas, so you can relax. The room was clean, the air conditioner was working. The bathroom was clean, too.

Romania- The AC didn't work properly, maybe it was old or they should make a maintenance for it - The coffee was not good, it was instant coffee, if you want a good coffee you can buy one from restaurants near by - The bed, the mattress and the pillows were not comfortable for my taste. Besides those you can't complain, everything was good, but as I already said, you can't expect more for this price. If you have more expectations you need to pay more of course, for this price you can't get more then this.
- The lady from the reception was very nice and efficient. - The staff are very kind and with a smile on their faces from morning to night, every time we went to the restaurant they will always greet us. - The hotel has a large free parking lot, this it's a nice thing to have - The location of the hotel is on the main street near shops, restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, etc. The beach it's 5 minutes walking distance. - The rooms are cleans and they take the garbage everyday. - The water in the pool is clean (there is a very kind and friendly lifeguard, he kindly helped me with the inflatable mattress without me even asking ☺️). -The rooms are large, with balconies, equipped with a refrigerator, air conditioning, old TV. - I loved the shower, very good pressure for the water. - The food is good, diversified, you can choose from (1/2 soups each, 4/5 main courses each (ham, salami, more types of cheese, pasta, chicken, beef, potatoes, green beans, broccoli, potato dishes, etc.), several types of salads, fruits , cakes. - The drinks are fine from what I tasted, you have a few average cocktails available. I don't drink beer but my finance did and he said it's good. I was very satisfying by the service for this price. We came in June 3-10 off season and we booked in advance so we got a good deal ~ 400€ for 7 nights all inclusive

RomaniaThe people from the reception. Not flexible at all regarding the need to accommodate 2 small babies. Really? They were 1 and 2 years old. We had to pay extra tax without any written evidence of the money we paid and no extra benefits in the room for them. For whom will read this review.. It's like babies have no rights, even though they are under 3, so be careful in the future. All in all was ok, but this frustrating discussion really got me..
The same dishes every day and very low variety, but tasty. Clean towels Room was spacious enough

RomaniaDinner is until 20 PM, so you have to leave beach at 19 , is to early after a sunny day, I think it 's most confortable until 21 PM,for guest to not hurry from the beach . Warm alcoholic drinks at the pool bar , and in the restaurant. You can get ice ,just if you ask , and if they have. 2 times there haven't. Finaly, it 's a good place for a cheap vacation !

RomaniaThe food was bad a couple of times, not all meals, but it happened. They do have great crepes. The hotel is rated 3 stars but actually its 2. Its not a clean hotel, the rooms, the carpet, the sink in the bathroom, they're all dusty, stained, you find hair everywhere. Everything is dated but they could at least clean it... Some chairs in the restaurant are broken so dont lean back until you test the chair.
The staff was great, always smilling, nice, making conversation, very warm people. The pool was small but perfect. The location is good, in the middle of everything important but not too noisy, not too far from the beach, just in the right place. They have free parking. Bed sheets and towels were clean but not changed during the 3 nights stay.

We stayed in a pleasant room. The furniture is a little old,but very functional. The bed is big and it has 2 adjacent mattresses. The wifi does not reach all the places in the hotel. The hotel has a private parking with gate, so the car is safe. The food is ok. You have some choices. If you want peace and quiet, it's not really the best choice. It's near the center and there are alot of people,cars and music. The beach is very near. There is a non-stop supermarket in front of the hotel. The staff is very nice and helpful.

RomaniaThe rooms don’t look good, don’t was fresh vacuumed and the bathroom don’t was cleaned. The staff was very rude, everytime someone come to the table at the end of the program and say to go and make ‘ush’ like we were chicken and should leave the place. The drinks were served in plastic cups and the staff who served us just threw them on the bar when you go to order aome drink. They said the bar is open between 11-22 pm but after breakfast at 10 and 14 pm after lunch they closed the restaurant for cleaning and you’re not allowed to stay there. One morning my kids want to take 2 apples on the way and they don’t allowed. Anyway the attitude that the staff have was very bad and I don’t recommend this hotel.
I didn’t like it very much.

BulgariaThe hotel is old and it is not renovated - the value we paid for our 7-days stay was too much for the service we received. The food wasn’t good, there was not much choice, we had all inclusive but we didn’t go to lunches, only breakfast and dinner and each day the food was pretty much the same with small differences, not that tasty. Not impressed at all. For 7 days stay the housekeeping didn’t change our sheets and bath towels even once. On the top of all, during our last day at the hotel one lady from the housekeeping stole my daughter’s bracelet, probably hoping I’m not gonna see that it is missing. When we explain the managers, they didn’t do anything to return the bracelet or to compensate us for this. People, be careful with your staff if you’re staying at this hotel. My advice is not to stay there. It’s not worth it.
The only good thing about the hotel was the staff at the reception and the restaurant, also the location - close to the beach and the main street with restaurants, bars, shops, etc.

UkraineInternet speed, but not critical.
I stayed at this hotel and was very pleased. First of all, the food was simply excellent – the variety of dishes and the quality of the ingredients were pleasantly surprising. The location of the hotel was also very convenient all the major attractions were within walking distance. The staff deserves special praise – everyone was polite, responsive, and always ready to help. Considering that this is a three-star hotel, I believe it fully justifies its cost. You shouldn't expect luxury conditions, but for the price, you get excellent service and comfort. I can definitely recommend this hotel for your stay.
