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.).

United KingdomWell located hotel about 10 minutes walk to old town and beaches. There is a small supermarket nearby. Great breakfast and superb pool facility with sunbeds and soft seating area where we had coffee. Very friendly, accommodating staff and nice relaxed atmosphere. Great base to explore nearby beaches and other towns.

IrelandNothing at all really. Just to note there is no Iron or Tea / Coffee making facilities in the rooms, but you can always get by without this so I wouldnt base a decision on these.
Clean and comfortable hotel. Location about 10 minute walk to old town but with some nice views and photo ops of town along the way. They have a deal with a beach about 3 min walk called the Atlantis where you can rent beds and unbrellas - water is calm and crystal clear. Approx. €35 for 2 people (a bit steep) so we went to the small public section and used our own towels - hard to find a spot though as it's mostly rocky. Hotel has a pool that takes up the whole outside, it's very deep but nice, room for about 10 people to sunbathe. Breakfast was grand, its the same most places, fills a gap. Balconies in rooms also. I would recommend, for a nice quiet break, maybe not for kids or families as not alot to entertain the kids in that specific location and pool is deep in one end and could be dangerous but also not alot of room for them to run around it etc. In fairness it is perfect for what we wanted and the staff are very nice. Free parking anywhere along the right hand side of the road outside.

This was our second stay here so we knew what to expect. Great location close to the beach during the day & a short walk into the old town at night. Friendly staff, very clean, nice pool.

IrelandThe hotel advertises concession at local beach club. Staff there at Atlantis club were very unfriendly. they kept trying to put us at the back row despite the club being empty. Definite feeling that they didn’t want the hotel guests
Staff are the nicest thing about this hotel. Rooms could do with upgrade and air con controlled by reception

United KingdomThe restaurant had a set menu only each day, but not far into town for alternatives. The prices charged for sunbeds and parasols at the beaches nearest the hotel were extortionate- although nothing to do with hotel. A good public beach with very reasonably charged sunbeds and parasols available on the public beach in the town.
A great location, about 800metres from harbour front and town. Good swimming pool, not much surrounding area though, but sufficient. Comfortable beds, clean rooms and good varied breakfast available. Friendly helpful staff and on site parking available. A few little bays and a very small public area beach within 200 yds.

United KingdomNobody spoke English, not even the hotel receptionist and other staff. It was very hard to make ourselves understood. Even ordering a drink when we arrived was a mission. I don’t think that English guests are particularly welcome. The atmosphere in the hotel was very dull. It was soulless and very quiet. Breakfast was served between 7:30 and 10am each morning. It was always the same breakfast, dry scrambled eggs and streaky bacon or a continental breakfast, there was not even a choice of fried or poached eggs. The swimming pool is enclosed by high white walls, which meant that it was always baking hot around the pool and there was no air circulating, thus meant that no one ever sat around the pool because they couldn’t stand the heat. Also the pool closed for three hours every afternoon. The pool bar was never opened in the nine days that we stayed at the hotel, and the Dining Room was not opened during the day between 10am and 7:30pm, and it closed at 9:30pm every night. So if you wanted to buy a drink or even have a cup of tea you had to go to the local expensive beach restaurant, or walk into the main town of Otranto which is about 20 minutes away. There were no tea or coffee making facilities in our room, not even a kettle or a bottle of water, or even a glass to drink the water that we bought. It felt as if the hotel wanted to make as much money as they could with the minimum expense on their part. We had to pay €2 for each small cup of tea we drank at the hotel. The bed was big and clean, but it was very hard. It was a solid piece of foam on a solid wood base. My body ached after two nights and I began to dread bedtime by the fifth day, as did my husband. The ‘Sea View’ room and bathroom facilities were very sparse. The balcony was absolutely tiny, but you could see the sea in the distance, over the roofs of a couple of rows of houses.
The staff were quite friendly. It was close to a beach.

RomaniaThe personnel of this hotel is rude, they couldn't help at all. Hotel is in a poor condition - rooms' furniture is outdated, there is a strange smell in the classic type of rooms - i've tried to change it with some other room of the same type, but the smell was still there. They've offered me to spread some parfume in the room The water pool is dirty - it has a non clear blue color Otranto is not a big city, but the hotel is not the best positioned. Breakfast is poor for a 4* hotel. In fact, the general impression is that for a 3* hotel. So far, didn't manage to get the invoice for the period of stay, despite on the check in they advised they will issue upon departure, but on departure (Saturday) advised they cannot give it in that they, and they gave a receipt only...this was really unacceptable. Not mentioning that the english of the reception person was really poor.
