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.).

IrelandLovely place overall, although I thought the pool was a little small in relation to the rest of the place.
We had a lovely 2 bed bungalow in the grounds of this well presented tropical place. The grounds and restaurant were all very well designed and we certainly had a wonderful relaxing time around the pool.

United KingdomSome of the advertised facilities were not available. I was told that there were no yoga classes as there was an instructor course taking place at the time. Also there was no on-site restaurant/bar as I was told this was closed, however the resort was clearly providing meals for the attendees of the yoga course so why couldn't they extend this for other paying guests? Perhaps they should devote as much attention to catering for the needs of their other guests as I had a smaller unit with no cooking facilities and there was only a smattering of eating places nearby/with 20 mins walk.
Was in a nice quiet location not far from the beach. Was a very relaxing environment, the massage I had was very good. Breakfast was tasty and filling.

FranceThe swimming pool was small and the water not so clean The property is near the beach but there are many rocks there so difficult for swimming especially at low tide
The staff were really cool and helpful. Our accommodation was a container, unusual but nice with a covered patio with a basic but cool kitchenette . It was a bit isolated from the nearby road in the property garden that was like a jungle where there were monkeys and chickens. We loved it !

NetherlandsSome basic drinks possibilities
Amazing surroundings and gorgeous rooms. The only thing we missed is some basic supplies in the room, like coffee, thee sugar. It is important to note that the rooms have their own kitchen with all supplies and a big fridge, but you need to bring grosseries. As we arrived late in the storm, we could not eat or dribk anything here. Upside, around the hotel there are great restaurants, walking distance, all open u till 9pm. Breakfast was perfect and the staff very nice and friendly. Rooms are decorated stylefull and very clean.

United StatesBeach towels were not provided and the kitchen had only two plates although there were beds for four. The kitchen generally could use a little more stuff to be more usable. The electricity went out too, which is apparently normal here when it rains, but there were not candles or lighters in the room (a lighter is also needed for the stove and not provided). It was a challenge being in the heat with a baby after a lovely day at the beach.
The pool area is magnificent along with the breakfast. it’s beautifully maintained and the staff is super sweet.

United StatesI am sensitive to noise has so it was a little bit of a challenge the AC tends to be a little bit noisy, you can hear motorcycles and cars from the street very close by and next door was a very happy Costa Rican Family living in a private residence needless to say children were crying dogs barking sometimes at 2:30 in the morning and so on the Family itself seemed to be having healthy conversations until 10 or 11 at night and then somehow would get up at 6 in the morning to do work hey that's all great and healthy but for me I attend to like peace and quiet
I was happy to use the yoga Chalet for my own yoga practice, I initially was under the impression they would have yoga classes twice a day but no it's only twice a week, breakfast was not too bad either, staff was nice and cheerful and I do appreciate that, pool area was nice vegetation and Greenery with nice location is away from Santa Teresa that's good overall don't let my negative review dissuade you from coming here oh, it's a nice but it's not as peaceful quiet as I would have liked it

Belgium-The location: surf is quite a walk/ride away. Also no restaurants nearby, you need to take the car to Santa Teresa where there is nearly no parking, or walk a couple of km. Recommend Drift restaurant if you are taking the car, since they have parking. Would doubt if staying at Santa Teresa centre would have been better though, since it is a very dusty place. -There were no yoga classes in the weekend. -They were working on the pool area, causing little sharp rocks to be at the bottom of the pool.
The room and the pool were great! Breakfast was the best.

The rooms were simple but very comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous, the beach is just down the road, less than 5 minutes on foot. Plus, there's a cool bar at the beach.
