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 KingdomOnly negative was the lack of plugs in the bedroom. Had to unplug the bedside lamps for my charger and hair straighteners. No plugs near a mirror which was inconvenient. Take a hand mirror with you!
Lovely hotel, nice lounges, restaurant and pool bar area. The pool looked very inviting. The bed was extremely comfortable. Lovely views from the bedroom. The staff were very pleasant and attentive.

United StatesLobby was hard to find. Room did not buffer noise from birds outside - especially at night time.
Liked the location - convenient to access the Seven Hanging Valley trail and nearby Sand City exhibition. Liked that parking was on-site. Breakfast was very good. Grounds looked nice ... however we were not there long enough to enjoy them.

United StatesThe pillows were much too thick and hard. I asked for thinner, softer pillows and the receptionist tried to find some, but they were really no better than what we had.
It was clean, the receptionist was very kind and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was fabulous.

MalaysiaIf you’re not familiar with the area, try to arrive before sunset on your first day. The roads to the accommodation were not well lit at night and they’re some narrow roads you’ve to be cautious too.
They upgraded us to a bigger room, which is actually a suite. They provided us with pool towels in the room so you could bring the towels to pool. The size of the room is big and as muslims, we had more than enough space to pray. The hotel is actually surrounded by a well maintained park, so you could enjoy a walk around the hotel anytime you wish. The restaurants are well manned, and the waiters are friendly. They can tell you where to get the best Fado show in town, and where’s best to visit if you have limited time. They have two kittens roaming around, which I personally think they’re the owner of the accommodation 😸

SpainRoom paintings a bit old dated and not very stylish but this is very subjective. Even though we had our AC off in our room, the machine placed in our terrace was still running and was quite noisy.
Biggest bed I have ever slept in, really confortable. Super clean, great staff. The resort itself is great, with lots of walking spaces. The pool was beautiful, clean and with salt water. Breakfast very complete and loads of healthy options. We just stayed one night but we will definitely be back :)

United KingdomWe only ate at the hotel restaurant once after a long day travelling, and whilst we were impressed with the food for the value changed (€30 per person for 4 courses), there is a problem with the waiting staff. The only problem is, there aren’t enough of them. At one point there was one waiter trying his best to get around all the customers. We feel the staff would have been happier and provided a better service if they weren’t rushed off their feet.
Gorgeous property set in well maintained grounds with amazing sea and land views. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and equipped. Suite 210 has a hammock in the balcony with stunning sunset views. The hotel is quiet and peaceful, offering the perfect place for a relaxing break. The pool is an adequate size and well looked after with a pool bar with plenty of food and drink options. The pool made a beautiful backdrop to sit and have a drink by in the afternoons. There is no evening entertainment which made a refreshing change, allowing those who just wanted to hear the sounds of the crickets at night. All staff were friendly and welcoming, with nothing being too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful, open at decent times to cater for early and late risers. Much was the same every morning, but the cakes and pastries were different every day, providing different options and a chance to try different items.

United KingdomWe spent a wonderful week in a comfortable 2 bedroom villa in Vale d'El Rei. Upon arrival, we were offered an upgrade to spacious, clean and fully equipped, with a private parking space villa, it's perfect for 4 adults. We are delighted with the picturesque, convenient location of the hotel and, above all, with the cleanliness and top quality of the service. The staff is exceptionally polite and helpful, the restaurant serves good, hearty breakfasts. The intimate surroundings of the swimming pool give a feeling of peace and relaxation. We will definitely come back to this lovely place.
