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 KingdomMaybe it would’ve been nice to have a kettle or coffee making facilities in the room (they do supply them at reception though). As it was off- season the hotel was very quiet, so sometimes there wasn’t always someone in the bar/restaurant to get drinks.
Beautiful hotel with stunning grounds. Gorgeous pool and next to sandy beaches. Spotless and modern rooms and facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodating, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

IrelandThe bed had a mattress protector made of plastic so when you moved it made noise and was not comfortable as we were roasting with it but easy solution, just remove it and remake the bed. Breakfast options were lovely and tasty but limited so after a few days we were a little bored with it, perhaps maybe it could be changed up each day? Two very small things which would not stop me from recommending this place!
Great hotel, only 40 rooms so feels like you’ve the place to yourself. Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Room over looking the pool was great, good size and all you need. The spa includes free access to jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and I would highly recommend getting a massage (prices are not too bad)! There’s a chill out area which pool table and cocktails from the bar are fab! Location is great, 3 mins walk to the beach which you pass a fab Italian restaurant and on the beach there are a few bars, the one on the right we had a great fish meal in one of the nights. If you are looking for something a little more peaceful then this is your spot. We got a Uber into Albufeira one of the nights and was so glad we were staying out of that madness.

United KingdomWe probably couldn't have done longer than 3 or 4 days just because there's not too much to do in the surrounding area. It would have also have been nice to have a coffee machine/kettle in the room already and not have to pay for milk.
Staff were so lovely and accommodating. We were there for our anniversary and they'd surprised us with a bottle of delicious champagne. The hotel is clean, shiny and quiet. Don't bother with local restaurants because the one here is exceptional. The pool and spa feels secluded and a treat. And then you go down the road to reach the beach and sea. Felt like the escape we needed.

United KingdomEverything was great
Hotel is is a quiet location which was perfect. Long strip of a beach you can walk. 3 lovely restaurants on the beach, and a few more next to the hotel. you won’t feel you need to go to another town to eat. Best sunset and seafood. hotel is boutique, comfortable room, clean and spacious. Staff is lovely. Grounds of the pool area is beautiful. Plenty of sun beds. There is also indoor hot water big jacuzzi and steam room, sauna. Overall it’s a lovely hotel to relax and enjoy the warm weather. It’s not on the beach but literally less than a min walk to it. sun beds on the beach are for couple 10 Euro. I recommend to use the beach behind the first restaurant on the left. More secluded and quiet. And that restaurant has a bar upstairs. It’s the best spot to watch glorious sun set whilst you sip your delicious cocktails, with lounge music. Just lovely.

United KingdomWhilst the included breakfast was good, the “cooked breakfast” elements (bacon, sausage, beans etc.) were cold each morning. That being said, the rest was great, hence the minimal impact to overall rating.
Beautiful pool area. Every member of staff was polite and helpful. The size of the hotel meant it was quiet during the day and we always were able to get a pair of loungers by the pool.

United KingdomClean rooms, spacious, with balcony, pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, spa, bar and restaurant. The breakfast set up and selection is great. Made use of the spa and it was lovely especially the facials! Left my face super smooth. The best part was I had a surprise from the hotel where on my birthday I was out and came back to a lovely chocolate cake and a bottle of wine for me to celebrate my birthday. The best part was I didn’t tell them but they must have noticed when I checked in and they decided to be intentional. Now that was the highlight of my stay. Can’t thank the staff enough for making my stay here a wonderful one. Highly recommended!!!

United KingdomThe pillows were lumpy and I wish I'd asked to replace them. Booking.com advertised a free taxi to this hotel but never included details of how to book and then denied it when I messaged them.
This hotel is beautiful, the gardens and pool area are immaculate with plenty of space and always a comfy sunbed no matter what time of day it is. The staff are very attentive, professional and friendly. Breakfast was delicious with a good choice of hot and cold and cava! and there is a lovely restaurant for dinner and a pizza restaurant next door. The rooms are extremely clean and big, our bed was huge and so comfy! The shower was very powerful and big bath sheets! The resort is very quiet but the beach is just down the road with 3 restaurants/bars. We also found an Indian, Seafood and Chinese restaurant about a ten/fifteen minute walk inland. I would recommend this hotel 100% and would definitely go again!
