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.).

BelarusThe curtains in the room with balkoney needs cleaning.
The staff is just great, really friendly. The breakfast was amazing, big variety of delicious food (for indians and europeans as well). The swimming pool in Golden Sands 3 was nice and clean. The washing mashine is a necessity in such a hot country, it was clean as well. The location is quite good. You still need to walk 10-15 min to metro / bus stops (to the beach) / shops/ caffees, but some shops / cafees nearby offer quite cheap prices. Would recommend Shakey's Pizza Parlor and Sketchers (separate shop on the way to the Burjuman, not in a mall).

United KingdomThe area is not near a Metro stop, but there are plenty of Taxis outside the hotel 24/7. The toilets could do with an update.
The Golden Sands is located in an area very popular with Indian guests, and the food reflected this. The rooms were adequate and the restaurant served a good value dinner, although breakfast wasn't of the highest quality, our children struggled to find something they liked.

United Arab EmiratesThe lack of power sockets inside the room is unbelievable. We were 2 people charging 2 phones and could only find one socket at a time. If u r family with kids, and tablets, it will be a bad fight.
The size of the room and the fast response to the room service queries. The parking was access controlled and covered.

United KingdomOnly thing I would mention is that the walls are thin and you can hear a lot from outside in the corridors. This was an issue with other guests allowing their children to run around during the early morning which made sleeping past 7:30-8am every morning an issue. I’m sure this doesn’t happen all the time otherwise we have nothing to fault during our stay.
Fantastic staff with very clean facilities. A good location only 20 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride from the metro. Natahlie from reception was wonderful and couldn’t have been more helpful.

IndiaOUr stay was for 9 nights, we were coming from a different country, at the bare minimum, some welcome refreshments should have been placed (fruits, bread and cheese) bare minimum. Kitchen stove takes almost 15 minutes to get heated up, From the main center, it is almost 1.2 km, at least a shuttle could have been provided. Rest, it was excellent value for what we paid.
House keeping staff are really good, special thanks and appreciation for Ms. Devi. Front office only care for rating, on the last day, they wrote their names on a card, and asked me to provide rating. This was not a good practice. In fact, they never were genuine.
