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.).

This hotel is amazing seems like a resort i think is the best one with the price of a hotel and have everything. Views are amazing. Staff is really nice they can book tour for you or drop off taxi. I did the island tour in really recommend it.Restaurant is really good and during evenings there is live music really nice atmosphere. Location close to the place where other bars and restaurants are. I had late flight during evening, did check out at 12 but they offered a room to have shower after enjoying the beach during day.

BelgiumThe personnel is nice but not very helpful. They will watch you struggle with your luggage without moving a finger.. they also asked me to pay for food I did not have at the beach bar. Someone just gave my room number and signed. Of course I didn’t pay.. I think some kind of proof should be asked to avoid this. Also I think the bottle of water in the room should be free.
The pool and beach are very nice.

MoroccoHotel is very clean, very well situated, and most of the staff is super cordial and helpful. Things to know are that the beachfront is rocky, so to swim you have to venture out a w 2 minutes (that is, to swim in the ocean, otherwise the pools are nice) and that there is no room service. However, it is truly minutes from the main street, the rooms are really comfortable, and bar is super fun with delicious food.
It was awesome, the service was great !!

ZambiaToo few power points in the room. Spare beddings looked old. Room safe was VERY difficult to replace. Upgrade. The location is too pro-Portuguese. That's understandable, however, consider 2 or 3 English channels on TV.
The hotel n dinning were both well located where one could enjoy the sea view.

HondurasNot having the room we had booked, ended up with individual beds for my husband and me (not our preference).
Even though we were not able to get the room we had initially booked, the receptionist the next day was more service-minded and helped us with our late check-out request. The hotel itself is nothing short of beautiful, the rooms are very nice and sufficiently spacious with a private terrace where you can hang a hammock, the bathroom is great. Interesting music themed.
