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.).

GermanyDespite being told not to reserve the sunbeds, there are still many guests who are reserving them and returning within an hour or more. The rooms looked older than the general hotel and the soundproofing was very poor. You could hear the sounds of talking and flush from the next room.
The best part of our stay was the staff! We got all the information we needed. Sometimes you could sense, that they were tired, but even then they were helpful beyond expectation. You need to make a reservation for dinner, in all 3 restaurants, but you can also enter without a reservation to the main restaurant (if it's not full). They have 3 main beaches for swimming, the one on the left was our favorite. But It was not so easy to find a free sunbed. Also 5 pools, 1 for kids and 1 inside-pool, which was not open during our stay. But main pool was enough for us. As It's described in its name, view was insane!

Luxembourg-the furniture in the rooms (wardrobe, desk, nightstand, chairs, sofa) and in the lobby (sofas) are in a dire need of a change. Old and not comfortable. Ancient safe. Ancient key system. -poor sound insulation in the rooms. -carton orange juice for breakfast was a big disappointment. Instant coffee at the coffee machines instead of using coffee grains, another disappointment for a 4* hotel. -despite the fact that clients are asked not to reserve sunbeds, there were people placing their towels early in the morning, especially at the coves where there are limited sunbeds anyway.
-the cleanliness of the rooms, pools, restaurants. -clean, modern bathroom. -we also appreciated a lot the staff, very courteous, helpful and friendly. -a lot of options for breakfast, lunch, dinner. -the fact that there is a minimarket at the resort. -the fact that there is a bus stop just outside the hotel and car rental options at the hotel (we chose Arkadi and everything went smoothly). -it is a calm resort with a lot of greenery surrounding it, perfect to hide from the sun. The outside is magnificent and well maintained.

United KingdomNo provision of an iron , which I thought that was a bit off to pay extra money for the laundrette to iron for people. The spa (sauna and jacuzzi) guests have to pay extra to use them. Some Iberostar hotels eg in Marbella and Marlloca , the spa could be accessed by anyone. There are water activities, such as water gym but a physical gym should be present for those guests you can’t use the pool as the gym.
Everything about it was exceptional. The surroundings full of nature. The palm trees everywhere. The cleanness. The choice of food. The location beside the sea.

United StatesThe Half board does not allow free soda's, you have to pay for them if you want a soda at any of the bars. If you want all drinks, you will have to pay for all-inclusive. The hotel is not close to Rethimno. It was stormy weather so not much to do outside.
The hotel buffet food was some of the best that I have ever had. The food was fantastic. The Master Chef and his staff did such a great job cooking different items every day. The hotel spa was also well worth it. Spectacular sunsets.

RomaniaEverything was perfect.
Our stay here was out of a movie. Just after we arrived we were welcomed with a glass of champagne, a red rose for my wife and some chocolate from the house. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the room we booked. We got a very nice bungalow with an incredible view. They remembered it was my wife’s birthday and we got an amazing dinner at the A la carte restaurant with more roses, an entire bottle of champagne and they got my wife a cake and sang her Happy birthday at the end of the night. The beaches and the surroundings of the property are just amazing, very beautiful. The food was very very good and you had a lot of options. All in all an incredible and perfect vacation. The only thing we regret is not having booked more days there. We will definitely come back.
