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.).

It was good! But a little bit outside of the main area.

GreeceThe lack of a small refrigerator! would be a big plus at the room if it was one.
In front of the beach with many options around the corner for food coffee with just 5' walk. Very value for money room. If you rent a scooter you will be fine to explore the rest of the island.

IrelandNo remote for the air-con in room but luckily it wasn't too warm so just used the ceiling fan which was fine. Mosquito screens missing from balcony door too, would have been nice for fresh air at night. 5 basic Thai tv channels. No kettle or fridge.
Quiet location, nice beach & food in on site restaurant was so nice and a good price too. 4 friendly small dogs running about, kayaks & snorkels for rent and of course diving which we didn't try. Motorbikes for rent in soi and free shuttle to the pier twice daily. Could see the beach and sea from the balcony.

United KingdomWe got locked out of our room due to issues with the lock. They got it fixed within 2 hours. The room was also very hot with only the fan. Booked for 2 but only got one duvet. We were able to get an extra blanket from reception to following day.
Pool was super clean and refreshing. The lovely lady at reception was so welcoming. They also helped arrange the night ferry for us which was super helpful.

New ZealandThe pool table isn’t free… and the swimming pool looks bigger in the photos. Definitely orientated towards those that are diving but still a cool spot to stay at for a good price even if you’re not!!
Staff are super friendly and welcoming, room was spacious and comfortable, awesome view from the balcony. You get a discount at the restaurant on site, and the food there was really good!

United Kingdomon our last night we asked the reception manager for a taxi and he said 'no' - it was 9pm and he was playing cards, and i suspect he thought we wanted one right then. we actually wanted one for 6.20am the next morning to get to the pier but the convo didn't get far enough for us to explain that because he cut it off with an immediate no! granted we should of asked earlier on so partly our fault but it was a bit like...oh OK then, thanks, and it left us kind of stuck. we had to go ask around at the restaurants nearby and luckily found a guy who could take us. a shame because it was a fantastic stay and he had been so friendly and funny prior to that incident. anyway I would still 100% recommend you stay here, it's great. the manager just needs to listen, let people finish and be politer, even if the answer is 'sorry but no we cannot arrange that'.
free pick up from the pier despite booking only a few hrs prior to arriving restaurant staff very efficient tasty food gorgeous view from balcony beautiful beach walking distance of a couple of snorkling beaches nice hang out spots and 2 pool tables very quiet 3 halarious dogs we didn't dive whilst there so cant comment on that side of things.

New ZealandNo one seemed that friendly or happy you were staying at the hotel. Room not cleaned during a 5 night stay. OK for the price though & directly on the beach
The hotel is located on the beach which is great. Steep stairs to the rooms and not very attentive, happy staff. Good aircon and large room. You get what you pay for, it is budget accommodation and good for the price. They offer a cheap taxi service and great diving opportunities - friendly dive staff
