Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

MalaysiaThe parking to the reception - no proper flat walkway. This is quite difficult as we brought few luggage with us and quite troublesome to bring them to the hotel/car during check-in and check-out. The breakfast was good but we hope they changed the menu (at least for some items). We were served the exact food for the two consecutive days.
The Se restaurant is beautiful. We love having breakfast and faced the sea. The overall ambience is soothing and pleasant. We had dinner at the restaurant too. Nice food and nice ambience as well. The room is beautiful, the toilet is comfortable and a lot of storage. This hotel provided the most memorable amongst 3 other hotels during our stay. We were so happy to have stayed here. The location is great too as you can go to places of interest from here.

AustraliaNo lifts made it an effort with luggage up and down stairs to our room. The pool staff were a little lacklustre when asking to move umbrellas and have food and drink service. I guess it's coming to the end of season so less staff made getting service a little hard.
Pool facilities and outdoor setting was amazing. So close to beach which is a plus. The rooms were a good size and nicely renovated. The lebanese syle breakfast was yummy and the location within the Se Restaurant had beautiful views of the ocean. A must if visiting Jbeil, Byblos.

AustraliaWhile overall I had a pleasant experience, there were a few areas that I believe could be improved upon. Firstly, the location of the resort proved to be somewhat challenging, particularly for those who did not have a car or preferred not to rely on taxi services. It would be beneficial to explore alternative transportation options or consider providing convenient shuttle services to enhance accessibility for guests. Secondly, I found the ocean to be incredibly inviting; however, I noticed that the loose rocks near the water's edge posed a safety risk. Many individuals, particularly the elderly, experienced difficulties and falls while attempting to enter the water. It would be greatly appreciated if measures could be taken to address this concern, such as removing the rocks or constructing steps to ensure a safer and more enjoyable beach experience for all guests. Lastly, I would like to address the issue of excessively loud music by the pool, particularly after 12 pm. While I understand that there is an atmosphere to maintain, it became challenging to relax and have conversations with my partner due to the overwhelming noise. Despite multiple requests to lower the volume, I was informed that nothing could be done. It would be highly beneficial to find a compromise that allows guests to enjoy their holiday and engage in peaceful conversations without compromising the overall ambience.
The accessibility to the pool, ocean, rooms, and restaurant made it easy to enjoy all the amenities. The efficiency of the housekeeping team was commendable, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment throughout my stay. We enjoyed our stay.

NetherlandsThe mattress was a bit hard for my taste ( this is very subjective). Also on booking it was mentioned under facilities that there would be an indoor playground. It is not there (anymore). It was a pity because it was one of the reasons for us to choose this option for our four year old daughter. .
The hotel is currently in the process of renovations. It is also being refurbished. There is a lot of construction work going on from early morning to evening, but I did not really hear it while in my room. Due to this all the place -especially the exterior - looks quite different from the pictures on booking.com that I saw. The new style is very charming. The staff is friendly, helpful and polite. The views on the beach, blue sea and nearby Beirut are stunning. We liked the breakfast and especially the dinner at the SE onsite restaurant.

NigeriaI would have scored them higher but for a few reasons. Firstly the pool wasn't available and when I asked they said its not in season, I believe that should have been mentioned on the website as I booked the place cause of the pool. Secondly the breakfast was very basic, I dont believe its a continental breakfast.
This hotel is a very nice hotel with very good location. Everywhere was neat and tidy and the staff were generally helpful. The views from the hotel room and dining area were breathtaking. I will also recommend you go on a date to the on premise restaurant. You can also hire one of their pods on the beach. It's really beautiful. They were renovating when we got there in early March so I believe when they are done the place will look even better.

United Arab EmiratesMaybe it was off season, maybe it was because they were renovating. However, the pool was out of order, the rooms were a little dusty and old, and little things (like umbrellas near the chairs by the beach) were missing throughout.
The food at Se restaurant was fantastic. Both breakfast and dinner were really amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and nice and the view near the beach was excellent.
