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.).

Irelandwhen we got into our “cleaned” room a tampon was hanging out of the tv. very noisy, very dirty and ran down. Full of young bag packers drinking all night. Beds are very uncomfortable and staff were rude- we witnessed one staff member shouting at a female member of staff and slamming his fist on the counter in-front of several guests. i wouldn’t recommend this for visitors

AustraliaWhere do we start… It’s essentially a party hostel which is cool - except for it doesn’t run any hostel group activities. Definitely don’t stay there if you have any intention of sleeping. There is music playing 24 hours a day. Everyone is constantly and obnoxiously slamming doors - staff included. The shower wasn’t what is pictured online, had no pressure or temperature control. The place smelled of bleach as if it was clean but the air vents on the Air conditioning unit were Mouldy and the toilet leaked water onto the floor.
Close to the port and bus route. The pool looked nice but we didn’t use it.

Irelandour room was extremely small and crammed. We had no balcony and our bathroom was not clean at all!! The shower head had mould on it which really isn’t acceptable. Moving onto the beds they were very uncomfortable and you could feel the springs in the mattress all night. Aswell as all this there was only one working socket in the whole room. We didn’t have very high expectations going into this hotel as the price was very low but we still couldn’t believe how bad it was
One of the only good things I can say about this hotel is that the location is brilliant. A 5 minute walk from the port where you get the ferry and there was a range of lovely restaurants to choose from. There was a big pool however it was a green colour and to be honest looked like a swamp

IrelandThe one thing the property fell down on was the bathrooms. They’re quite outdated, unclean and the showers have bad water pressure. This didn’t ruin our stay at all as the price is very reasonable for Ios and the atmosphere, balcony and pool made up for this element, but don’t expect modern bathrooms.
This is my second time staying at Armadoros and won’t be the last. We loved the pool area with the outdoor bar; the bartender Paul was excellent! I’d definitely recommend it for a young party group as long as you’re respectful and stop playing music at around midnight. We booked the apartment which is great for groups of 5-7 people and had a huge balcony.

ItalyThis hotel is daily a hostage of a group of drunk youngsters who make a terrible noise inside and outside the building at any time. Of course the situation is tolerated by the hotel management as the bar close to the pool sells to the young customers gallons of beer and cocktails. If you hope to sleep during night time forget it. For this reason families with children and romantic couples must avoid this hotel.
The only positive thing was the politeness of the woman who welcomed us upon our arrival and gave us a room in which everything was regularly working. My feedback is not the lowest only for respect to that gentle woman.

IrelandRoom was not clean - at all. Contact lenses left from previous guests , floor not swept , bed sheets were not fresh. No cleaning service was provided- apparently because of covid. The owner was incredibly rude On our arrival and lectured us about COVID-19 and the rules etc- and then the room wasn’t even clean!!
The location is good, very close to the port. Can walk to town centre- although lots of uphill steps!!

FranceI liked nothing about the hotel if I am being honest. The hotel looked nothing like the pictures on the booking website, almost felt like a scam. The swimming pool was disguisting , the bottom had a green disguisting slippery layer. The sunbeds weren't that clean either. Now for the rooms , they look like hostel's rooms, with bunk beds , that are so not comfortable , they were so stiff, with terrible bed sheets . The AC didn't work properly and it was super hot in the room, the room had no tv , no extra covers, and all the furniture looked 20 years old the bathroom is not that great either, there was no shelf for my stuff, and the shower curtain was disguisting and you only get hot water every now and then. the bathroom barely had toilet paper but nothing else, not even hand soap. The lady at the reception desk is a bit rude as well, and not at all friendly, and they made me wait for almost 40min upon arrival because the room wasn't ready, knowing that they were expecting me and that the reservation was made a couple of months ahead, this is how chaotic it is. And since the hotel is so old, you absolutely need earplugs to be able to sleep at night otherwise with all the noise and the people shouting and screaming you won't be able to sleep at all This was my first time booking on this website , and I will never do it again, such a rip off. DO NOT GO THERE, that's my only advise.
The location, close to the port and the village ( where the clubs are, and the souvenirs shops and all )

CanadaThe rooms were not clean, the water smells like urine and although the pool area is nice and has a few games, the water doesn't feel cleaned. A lot of teenagers, so if you're looking for a nice stay, I wouldn't recommend. It's more of a backpacker/teenager/hostel type of place.
