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.).

United KingdomThere was a rock band playing to midnight on my last evening (wednesday) and my room was directly next to it. This mean it was extremely loud in my room. I didn’t mention anything or request to change rooms, as im sure other holidaymakers were having a good time. But thought I’d give it a mention as it’s probably a good idea to perhaps put guests that will not be attending in rooms further away from the music. Otherwise, my time at the hotel was great! Thanks!
Super friendly staff. The breakfast was perfect with plenty of options. And the location was brilliant, walkable to the beach and also has guest parking.

CanadaTap in bathroom and shower plumbing were both worn out and the shower head actually came apart from the main bar holding it to the wall. Thankfully no injuries. No towels to take to the beach.
Breakfast. Wide variety of choices. Fried eggs were a nice touch. Outside seating by the pool was nice too. Pool bar also served snacks.

NetherlandsUnfortunately the people at the reception do not make you feel welcome and are rude. They do not check if you booked a room with dinner. We did not book a room with dinner only with breakfast. At checking out he never mentioned that we had to pay for dinner. On our way to a next place, he kept phoning telling us that we had to pay for 2 dinners. The only argument was that he saw us in the hotel on two nights. Finally he had to admit that he made a mistake.
Matala Bay Hotel is the best hotel in Matala. There is a beautiful garden with a large swimming pool. Efcharisto poli Yannis and Yohanina. They were very kind to us at breakfast. The location amidst the rock formations is amazing.

United KingdomPaying for wine every night was a pain rather than having a tab. Getting a drink was tough. Waiter was helpful to some people and downright rude to others. Sadly we were in the wrong group.
We were upgraded so room was very good with nice views of the hills. Easy walk into town and Matala beach. Breakfast was good and buffet dinner was reasonable. Enjoyed our day at Red Beach worth the walk. Also remains at Festos, Gortyn and the new museum there.
