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 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 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.).

United KingdomParking is not appropriate.There is a parking man that accommodated all cars once they arrive. We arrived on Sunday leaving on Tuesday morning and on Monday morning he accommodated someone to park in front of our car and block us . We weren’t able to leave the parking for an our as we were waiting for someone to come and move his car .
I liked the facilities, the food and the nice atmosphere. 3 swimming pools, 2 saunas and spa rooms. Was amazing even that outside was cold we still enjoyed.

Romania- Cleanliness is clearly a minus, both at the aqua park and within the hotel. We stood for 6 days, and the only time when the cleaning ladies cleaned our room was when we called them. And even then, they only broomed the room. Also, towels were only changed by request. - Parking is another obvious minus. You are basically parking your car in the forest at an overpriced cost. The gentlemen from the parking lot were basically useless. Besides the fact that they were not speaking English, they weren’t able to help me unblock my car from two other cars that were blocking it. I had to improvise a ramp in order to get my car out, without any of their support, even though the receptionist told they will help me. - No private beach - Staff seemed to be unhappy and not really committed in doing their job
- Food was plenty, but nothing extraordinary (as usual for all-inclusive hotels) - The aqua park is really nice, especially for kids

United KingdomCleaning staff are not the best, they either come too late in the afternoon, right after lunch when some want to rest, or too early in the morning. Also, they don't do very good cleaning during stay.
Great place for kids, good food and the animators are amazing. Really enjoyed our stay, there's always something fun to do. Will come back.

IsraelThe hotel is a bit outdated and the rooms need some renovation. The beds are not very comfortable and the toilet seat is too close to the sink which makes it uncomfortable. (luckily you have so much to do outside so you don't really care about the room) Other than that part of the stuff are not very friendly
This Hotel is a great value for money when you have kids. the hotel have several swimming pool (2 indoor + 2 outdoors + 2 toddler pool) and about 10! water slides. the water slides are super fun and the kids really enjoyed them. when you getting tiered form the water there is a great play room (on the second part of the hotel) with many playstation (about 10 stations), billiard, and more. for younger kids have a gymboree room and an outdoor playground. The whole inclusive plan is great, the kids had many ice-cream , pizza, hotdogs etc during the day and the parents enjoyed free flow of beer and other local cocktails.

RomaniaThe cleanliness in the hotel must be improved. The pools are too small and too crowded. The restaurant is not enough for the people staying in the hotel. The parking of the hotel is a place on the soil under the trees for which they request 10 euros pera day.
The aquapark is incredible. The restaurant has a diversity of food. The playground for kids is large and well equipped. The kids enjoyed it a lot.

RomaniaThe hotel beach is very far away, you need to take a shuttle which is theoretically promoted as free of charge, but you must pay for the sun bed (30 leva). When you arrive at the beach you need to pay extra 3 leva if you want a mattress for the chair. Parking is available for 20 leva/night if you are lucky to find any available slots.But you need to leave your car full period there because you get blocked or loose you slot if you take it out of the parking lot.
Large, confortable and clean rooms, nice pools and children facilities (aqua tubes etc). Food is ok, still repeating every day or not being refilled during meal hours. So if you don t arrive at the begining, not so many options to choose from. Overall average conditions.

RomaniaThe hotel was over crowded! The pool area was very very busy (we couldn’t manage to get a sun bed so forced to go to the beach). Pool area also dirty, not sufficient staff to keep the place clean/tidy. A bit expensive for the services given.
Rooms are large. Location close to the beach (10 min slow walk). Food was ok. Nice play area for kids in the evening. Lobby was ok.

NorwayFood was not good. Food for kids was too fried and crazily sweet, as it was for all others. In general, the hotel tries to save on food and drinks I would say. For example, the quality of fruits depends a lot and if you are not lucky, you will get a spoiled peach, for example. Wine seemed a bit diluted (it is my opinion) and juice was not really juice but rather a flavor water. Staff was generally fine with some exceptions. Some facilities in rooms need repairing. Cleaning was awful -- no floor cleaning at all (in a place near sand and beach!), no replenishing of shampoo, and there was a disguisting saving on toilet paper (giving just one small paper roll for a family of four -- did not we pay for all of us to get at least two?!). Well, environmentally friendly but not good for all-inclusive hotel where we had to use own napkins! My conclusion is that it is not a four star hotel, three stars maximum.
A good location and modern facilities, good swimming pools.

RomaniaVery busy at the restaurant and at the pool, beach was approx 10 min away, parking costs 20 leva per day, our car was blocked by other ones, so on the departure day we had to call the other two drivers that were blocking our car to move theirs.
Staff were really friendly, lifeguards present at the pool at all times, plenty of activities for kids during the day, good snacks at the pool (pizza, pastry, ice cream). Room - comfortable beds, nice view from the balcony of the room (5th floor - garden / pool view - it had also a panoramic view at the sea). You have access the pools from the other Prestige.

United StatesThey closed the pool and indoor play area for kids at 6 pm, which in my opinion is not so hood because that leave us basically with nothing to do beside than eat dinner. The entertainment at night was at the lobby, where the space is really small and they don't have enough seats. But at least they try. Maybe it was like that because it was super cold outside.
I liked the pool with slides, the pool for little kids, and the indoor play area for kids. I also liked the bar and the restaurant close to the pool. The room was big enough to accommodate all of us (5). I really loved that we had a dispenser machine where we can get coffee, cappuccino ,hot chocolate or milk.

it is possible to stay, but we would not want to return. not lucky with the weather, but it's good that the hotel has a sauna and a small heated indoor pool. the food is not bad.
