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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel Morabeza conviced us. It‘s a great Hotel Complex and I would say it‘s the best area in Sal. The main street for a night walk is just next to it and also the “Santa Maria Pier“ is only a couple of meters away. The breakfast buffet is delicious and the 3 pools in good condition. Another plus is the “Dubliner Pub“ only 100 Meter away (football games on TV every night, except Thursdays) :-).

IrelandNot every room has Wi-Fi : but That gives a great opportunity to pick up a book from the Hotel’s extensive Library :) So , no - even the lack of Wi-Fi in certain rooms I did not mind .
The staff extraordinary . All at reception go well beyond the call of duty to assure your comfort . The kindness and courtesy priceless . Brilliant buffet breakfast : same every day , but enough variety that one can mix it up and have diff b’fast each day - if wish . Massage was delightful . Location , location , location ! Three pools to choose from : now it was the Windy season - chose my pool accordingly . Morabeza is the original , it is the oldest hotel on Sal . The architecture harks back to bygone eras , she is not the latest - greatest - shiniest - hippest place : she is an old lady with all her charms .

Switzerland-sport facilities (minigolf, tennis, gym) are pretty old and would definitely need a make-over/renovation - why is it allowed that sunbeds at the pool are reserved and blocked by guests with towels at 7am for the whole day but nobody ever shows up/they come at 3pm to use the sunbeds for only 10min ? - take care that your hotel towels don’t get stolen while you are swimming as you have to pay for them in case they get lost. Happened to us, but we were lucky enough to watch it and stop the guy running away with the towel. Apparently the hotel can’t do nothing against these criminal guests even with a picture of them… - our sunscreen was stolen by an old german lady at the pool area while we were swimming in the pool.
Perfect location, great beach & pool area, very good food, most of the staff friendly (at least after some days in the hotel the warm up…)
