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 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.

United KingdomSunbeds taken before 10am even though there is a sign telling people not to reserve, thankfully staff were happy to find us beds and a space. Some of the pools were freezing.
Staff were very nice and helpful. Shout out to Zac from animations team super friendly and always happy to answer questions. A lot of pools to choose from .Rooms were very spacious. Hotel is very family orientated and there is always something to do for the kids. Food was nice and fresh and lots of options for the picky eaters I.e my youngest.

IrelandFood only alright, no salt and pepper or condiments on table. No coffee at dinner have to go to bar which is miles away. Kids club pretty non existent from what I could see. Not enough lounger at pool so if you don't get one early you can't really use the pool. Outside that really enjoyed our stay.
Staff were excellent, food quality would be 3 star standard but outside that really enjoyed the hotel. Nice location.

BelgiumThe parking is quite small compared to the size of the hotel. Getting around the (big) resort is quite difficult at first, the indications could be a bit more clear. The location is more isolated than it could seem from Google Maps.
Amazing view from our very big room. Very comfortable. A lot of activities for kids of all ages.

SlovakiaPeople on the recepcion weren't very nice. There were promised bathrobes at the appartement but they weren't there. I don't think it's okay for 5-star hotel to give the fifth person a sofa to sleep on. The food was average at most.
The rooms are really big and spacious for the price. We had an appartement for 5 people with 2 bathrooms, which was nice. The resort is very big and the there is definitelly a lot to do.

Good location, near beautiful Papagayo beach. The food for breakfast and dinner is very solid, tasteful and we were satisfied with the variety. Pool is nice. And stuff friendly. Playa Blanca is excellent location for trips to El Golfo, Timanfaya national park, El Geria vineyards… We enjoyed it. One of the highlights was visit of Famara which is adventurous place. ;)
