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.).

PortugalThe A/C unit was noisy and very dirty inside. There's no available free parking near the hotel. Also, we had to deal with ants which kept coming inside our room despite having an insecticide spray can in the room.
Fair price, reasonable food variety. Some staff members were really nice.

United KingdomThere were things that needed to be repaired like the toilet roll holder and shower head holder, but was not done, the cleaners must have seen it but did not do anything about it. The restaurants did not have much vegan food. The food could not be prepared as everything came already made, if we asked for not to be added to the pizza, this could not be done as it was already come prepared. The entertainment team did not come to mingle with people to get them to come to the shows that they prepared. The room that was used for the show was very small, we asked the person doing the magic show to some out of the room and do it outside where everyone can see them, but they did not, and no one went in so they did not do the show that evening. The room did not get cleaned until the evening.
The staff were all polite. The apartment was big enough for 5 people. A lot of restaurants to choose from for dinner. Very near the strip. Can walk to the sister hotels and use their facilities. Can walk to the beach in a few mins. Can use the gym in the other hotel. Good ac

CanadaIt’s a huge complex, can accommodate thousands of guests, but the facilities are not suited for it, pool area is small and chairs are fully booked as of 8am and very little rotations during the day, i spent 6 days and didn’t get a pool seat once! It’s an all inclusive but limited options and understaffed so you wait lines and can only order 1 item per person, so the whole family has to do the line to order each one drink or food item… every spot has different schedules, can’t always catch a bite. The Beach is small and public, does not offer chairs or umbrellas so bring your own! Very tight on the beach The condos are spacious and offer large balcony with seating, thank god we spent time there with a spray bottle to catch a tan… Service is poor…
The location was good, in the heart of the action…beware early and light sleepers because you will up to the sounds of the clubs’ music until 3am…close to the action means loud and noisy!

DenmarkIn general, the hotel has more disadvantages than advantages. From the beginning, I did not like the late check-in time and the slow staff during registration. A deposit of 100 euros is charged upon check-in. One bottle of water was issued in the room during check-in, and we never received another during our entire stay. You have to pay 12€ for pool towels and 5€ deposit, so only 5€ will be refunded when you check out. Insufficient cleaning of the rooms, during our whole week of stay, the floor in the room was not washed even once. Sometimes, water in the bathroom was not hot, especially in the evening, then all guests take a bath before dinner. There was a lot of sand in the pool, which no one cleaned, and in general, the bottom of the pool has a lot of damage and needs repair and better care. Near the pool, which is closer to the ocean, there were few sunbeds, and people reserved them until 9 o'clock in the morning. It was hot in the dining room, despite the fact that the air conditioners were working, all the doors were open, so flies could easily fly into the dining room. The food is the same but tasty. The evening program was almost non-existent, and the guests had nothing to do in the evening. During our stay in the hotel, there were a lot af children, but there was almost no children's entertainment. Most of the guests are young people who were just sitting at the bar. The bar closed very early, at 10 o'clock in the evening. The elevators are in terrible condition and need repair. But what scared us the most was that we saw a cockroach on the stairs between the first and second floors!
Good hotel with a great location. Close to the ocean and the city center. Very beautiful beach close to the hotel. Good food but not varied. Large rooms with a small kitchen and iron for clothes. Our room had a great view of the ocean from the terrace.

United KingdomThe room was damaged and it was very difficult to make a booking for the exclusive restaurants - we arrived and enquired about booking the restaurants on the same day and they were all fully booked! Slightly unfair system of booking these.
Great location, very clean and secure. Lots of amenities included and alternatives close by to enjoy.

SwitzerlandThere were large groups of British males who were inappropriate around the pool (swearing, urinating in glasses) and the staff did not seem to be moderating their behavior. We did not go into the town area which was close due to the groups of partiers. Our room did not get cleaned every day.
Large property with lots of different pools and eating options. Beach nearby is great. Staff accommodated us when we asked to move away from the rowdy groups. Gardens and facilities were well maintained. We had half board and the variety was enjoyed by adults and children.

United KingdomUnable to get poolside beds throughout our whole stay, they were all taken with towels from very early on despite the hotel claiming this was not allowed. We also weren't allowed to take food or drinks from hotel to our room, and the fact you had to unlock so many access gates to go around the hotel was also frustrating. Had a ground floor room which was nice however very noisy throughout the night.
Beds were very comfortable, water pressure fantastic. Hotel staff were friendly and welcoming.
