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.).

United KingdomThe Italian restaurant on-site is not worth it - it's mediocre and the staff were not very kind or capable, just stick to the buffet. The other restaurant is only open on Fridays, so it's really just the one location for meals. The alcohol for the all-inclusive is not the greatest standard, it's all you can drink, so it's not exactly top shelf stuff, and if you want anything more than a cheap beer or a gin and tonic, you'd have to pay. I would have appreciated higher quality. The adult-only area is fine, but it's on the north side of the buildings, so there is no view, just looking at the back of buildings, which isn't great if you spend most of your time there.
The greeting from the reception staff - particularly Jorge - was lovely. Very thorough an friendly. The buffet was fine, some nights were tastier than others, but lots to choose from. I was very thankful for the adults-only pool area.

United KingdomBreakfast was not great, cereal options were not good and very bland, and just didn’t enjoy the food during that meal. Rest of the food was great at lunch and dinner however!! Floors in the room was a little dirty - only noticed once getting out the shower and my feet being dirty within 5 minutes of not going outside! Not a deal breaker however everything else was immaculate, just something note.
Amazing room, actually one of the best I’ve ever stayed in so much space and the bathroom had a bath and shower separate which I liked. Pool was lovely, staff were very nice, attentive and professional. Entertainment was great, food was good and table service excellent. Free parking and a room to shower in before we left for the airport at 5pm as we needed to check out at 10/11am so this was a nice touch to use facilities still. Would definitely recommend and would look to stay here again in future.

CroatiaBecause of calima there was a lot of cockroaches, but the staff was handling the situation very well. Apparently the whole island has the same problem. Just be careful not to take one home in the language.
We have stayed in Merlin's room which was very good choice since the kids didn't want to leave the room and wanted to play with the castle. Kids swimming pool was quite fun for them, and most of our stay we have stayed in Castleland area. The room was big and comfortable with big balcony which has the foldable drying rack. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they are trying their best to provide the guests comfortable and enjoyable stay, on the other hand the food is bland, if you eat the the desert it has the same taste just different colours, and the main dishes are like hospital food no taste whatsoever. It is very surprising considering that the staff is trying to make your stay great and the restaurant staff is quite well handling all the hustle and mess that is happening in the main restaurant. This is typical tourist resort, crowded and loud, whit everything you need to have fun during your holidays. There is kids and baby club, 5D cinema, playground, entertainment and sports area, shops, bars, swimming pools of course and evening entertainment. The hotel is also able to book you excursions if you fancy going out of the resort and to see some culture of the island. Across the hill there are Papagayo beaches and there is also a beach in front of the resort. The resort is at the far end of the Playa Blanca so if you do not want to walk very long you do need to use a taxi or a car to go to center of town.

United KingdomThe evening entertainment was good 2out of 7 nights after the mini disco so that was a little bit of a let down. The buffet was Italian 4 out of 7 nights which after the first 2 nights is a bit rubbish. The food was good the first few days but after that is was just the same and then you find yourself a bit lost for what to get. The pools say a couple are heated but they really don’t feel like it haha.
We stayed in a Merlin room which was great for the kids 5+3. Loved the swimming pools. The mini disco in the evening was really good for the kids. The hotel itself was really nice and in a nice little location.

NetherlandsThe pool and restaurant could get a bit crowded, and so is the queue for drinks/food at the bar. Restaurant food was good, but a bit repetitive, especially the desserts. There is an evening event for the children on Friday night but it's an extra 20€ per child and doesn't include particular entertainment. Friday night is also the only night when the adult only restaurant is open, and both events are not included. Usually this kind of arrangement is part of the all included plan. The kids party should provide something more as a paid event. Other than that we were generally happy with what the hotel had to offer.
Great location at the end of Playa Blanca, we had a very large room with 2 walk in wardrobes and a stunning ocean view (ocean view suite) . Very clean and extremely comfortable beds. There is a nice sandy beach just outside the hotel. We liked the entertainment team and the games by the pool, the team is genuinely friendly and fun and always finds a way to involve everyone. Our children particularly enjoyed the evening shows, and the complimentary 5D cinema experience. Check-in/out was very fast, there was never a queue at the reception. They have all the important information summarised in one piece of paper and they don't need to explain for hours how the hotel works.
