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.).

SpainIn the beach bar even at night they use plastic cups for cocktails And other expensive beverages. The flavour changes very much drinking from plastic. But they do serve beer in bottle..

United StatesOverall the pricing for this location and the prices charged at the on site facilities was quite expensive and so little value for money. This resort is a family playground and thus not really great for the more mature looking for a quiet experience. The location is off center and consequently not much to take in the immediate surrounding areas within walking distance. Although we were asked about our checkout time on arrival and as such we shared our earlier departure time prior to breakfast being available we were not told about being able to request an early breakfast and watched another couple get the service while we waited for our taxi. It quickly becomes obvious some of the serving staff simply want you to spend leaving a feeling that it's all about the money. Related to this we encountered one server who came across quite abruptly.
Although presented as an hotel, this establishment is a resort similar to what one would find in Mexico and as such offers all that one would expect to find at a resort with various restaurants to experience beach side snacks available with sun bed by the sea and a call button to request food and beverage service by the loungers on the beach. Service is also available near the main pool. The staff is very friendly and all try to be very serving with few hiccups in service. In particular we found that the maid was most helpful and very dedicated to her work and basically liked her job. This resort offered a full breakfast buffet with a complete selection with several counters filled with food to choose from including made to order omelets and eggs. The room had a small fridge which is useful and nearby Malia supermarkets once identified offered various goods to take back to the room.

United StatesFood is really expensive for Crete if you book without the all inclusive. Breakfast buffet is expansive, but generally pretty so-so beyond the yogurt and fruits. 38 euro for dinner buffet- absolutely worth going elsewhere to eat if your priority is good food. Not a lot do in walking distance off location- so I imagine good for shorter stays for couples and adults.
The property is stunning- the beach and pool really are spectacular. Rooms are so beautiful and spacious, bathroom feels luxurious, and having a balcony is so nice. We loved the property for a 2 night stay to recover from jet lag. Honeycomb and fresh Greek yogurt alongside fresh squeezed orange juice. 5-15 minute walk to spectacular restaurants off property. I saw some negative reviews about the kids- when we stayed in late May, there were plenty of young children, but this in no way impacted my stay. Yes there are kids in the pools and sidewalks, but you can still have a romantic stay if you don’t hate kids on principle.

DenmarkThe staff in kids club who wanted me to leave my child alone with them when she was insecure and needed me to stick around. Old school way of looking at children. To expect them to be alone with strangers and look with angry eyes at the parents who want to stay and support their child. Selection of wine was not very wide and prices very high.

AustriaThe bed was much too soft. It is understandable that there cold not be an option to choose from, but it could be at least a little more firm/hard.
Location is close to urban area (30min walking), although it feels that the property is completely surrounded by nature. Design is minimal and charming, a lot of beautiful plants everywhere. the sand beach is rocke at some areas, but there are also completely sandy areas too. the water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, Staff ist so friendly and very supportive. I forgot my sunglasses on the beach one evening and couldn't find them in the lost and found box on the next day. But the staff member at the beach hut was so smart to search them in the bags of dirty towels from yesterday and we found them there. Thanks again! Or only issue was with the too soft bed. We prefer firm beds and this one was one of the softest we ever experienced.

United KingdomThe rooms were quite small and the rooms were not very separate (tricky if you’ve got multiple young children who wake at night), it would be great if there were more food options for children. Generally the food was quite expensive.
Really brilliant for young families, but still feels a bit discerning. Lovely swimming pools and beach. My little ones made lots of friends and there was a plethora of things for them to do. Everything is designed with children in mind, which makes it much more relaxing for parents.
