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.).

IrelandStayed a week. Had a wonderful stay. Staff always friendly and helpful. Cracking Buffet Breakfast! Literally across the road from beach where sunbeds/towels provided FOC (excl 1st 2 rows). Entertainment every night and jazz for b'fast on Sunday. Absolutely recommended. 15 minutes stroll along promenade into old town.

United KingdomI was surprised to learn that it was against hotel policy to lend guests irons for "safety reasons" despite the presence of a hair dryer, coffee machine and kettle in the room, all of which pose their safety risks as electronic devices. This was the first time I'd ever encountered a no-iron policy in a hotel in the 40 countries I've visited in my time on this planet. I suspect if irons were left on in the hotel rooms in the past risking a fire, a better solution would have been to supply irons with automatic shut-off features if left unattended or inform guests ahead of time rather than have us arrive with no way to iron our shirts for business meetings the following day. There was no next-day turnaround as the only option was to pay 4 euros for a two-day shirt-iron turnaround time or purchase my own iron. Needless to say, I had to attend with a wrinkled shirt. Also, some of the outlets in the room didn't work very well. It would have also been good to have a sliding door between the room entrance/toilet/shower/sink area and the bed/sitting area for additional privacy and to dampen corridor noise at night.
The staff members, for the most part, were amazing and greeted us well upon arrival, and I felt very welcome. The room was large and had a sea view, as you asked, with a balcony, and the sink, toilet and shower were all independently accessible. There was a good-sized safe for valuables, including electronics like laptops/tablets. There was also a brand-new L'or coffee machine. The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a fantastic range of treats. The proximity to the beach was unbeatable, such that guests from other hotels used sun loungers and umbrellas. March is low season so it wasn't a problem, but the staff acted on it and charged visitors a fee to ensure hotel guests were not left wanting a spot on the beach.

IrelandNothing we didn't like.
The hotel is in the perfect setting close to the old town and across the road from a lovely beach. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and made you feel welcome. The breakfast was lovely with a good selection of food and was constantly being replenished. We had a spa treatment and thoroughly enjoyed that. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel and the extras like a cold juice on the beach each morning were an example of the added extra touches.

United KingdomIt’s sadly quite competitive for a lounge by the pool, but there are plenty on the beach. We only had the breakfast included, and opted for dinner one night, unfortunately the food options left a lot to be desired and choices were pretty average (definitely recommend going into town for some great restaurants instead).
The room was fantastic, comfy and clean with a great view of the beach. The location is also great as it was a short walk into the Old Town, and close to many shops.

United Arab EmiratesDouble bed was two small beds connected. Not good for couples. Badtub instead of a shower in the room. Coldish pool temperature and jacuzzi due to energy prices I presume. No parking. Need to look around in the area.

The room wasn’t clean at all especially when they pass the mop some hair was still on the floor.
