Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We enjoyed the pool. Shame about the time of day it could be used. The beaches were an easy reach with car or a bus outside the hotel.

United KingdomAll the breakfast was cold, some of it wasn’t even warm, so a bit disappointing & there was a lot of noise in the pool & spa area, also the cleaners were talking very loud while cleaning other rooms, so you couldn’t really nap in the morning.
The bed was so big & very comfortable, there was a sort of hard pillow & a soft pillow, so you had a choice of which suits you, the room was very clean & tidy, there was wash, shower & shampoo creams in the bathroom, but unfortunately no conditioner, the shower was lovely, but leaked onto the floor a bit.

United KingdomBreakfast should have been included in the rate and the price of £40 for a family of 4 on top of the original price of the hotel is a bit much. A member of leisure staff was also unhelpful when asked to assist us with the locker in the changing rooms. However leisure desk reception staff were fantastic, nice and helpful.
We enjoyed the facilities and the pool was fun. The bed was comfy and we liked the hot shower. Overall pretty good ish

Friendly staff. Good facilities. Just what we needed.

United KingdomThe pool was busy due to it being a rainy Saturday afternoon but had two swim lanes barely being used. 1 swim lane would have made more sense to give further room for family swim. The sausages & bacon at breakfast were cold but the rest of the breakfast items were hot so either the meat had been there for some time or that particular hot station wasn’t working properly.
Amazing location & facilities. Every member of staff we spoke to were incredibly friendly & accommodating

MaltaSome patrons in the bar were being funny and noisy, Unfortunately there was a group of gay men who literally made the bar unreasonably uncomfortable. But the staff were understandable and gave us a table away from them.
We only stayed here for the night, and did not take breakfast as we left the hotel very early for our flight back home. The decor of the room was fantastic, we loved it, the room was confortable and clean. The staff were excelent and we got our room immediately we arrived, even though it was before noon. There is nothing to complain about as far as the hotel is concerned.

United KingdomSome hair conditioner would have been good If swimming pool had children’s height my 3 years old would have enjoyed to the fullest
The staff were welcoming and very accommodating. 1. My child needed some milk and the lady at the reception went above and beyond to get us some warm milk. 2. The young boy who was working as a lifeguard, was very polite and explained to me something that wasn’t very safe to do. 3. The place felt so safe to me that I let my 10 month old crawl around the reception area. Will definitely go back next year.

United KingdomEasy check in and check out. The staff were all very polite and ready to help at all times, from the front desk to the to the restaurant, the Starbucks and the swimming area this hotel can not be faulted on its hospitality as the staff have impeccable customer service and communication skills. The manager of the hotel was incredibly welcoming, friendly and attentive, went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable and ensured that we knew he was on hand to help with anything we may need. We definitely recommend this hotel and will most definitely return and even do a family trip with our two children next time as this hotel is very much a family friendly establishment, once your in your room their is little to no noise disturbances which was absolutely amazing as we did go to take a break.
