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.).

United Kingdomonly thing that was disappointing was the spa just not quite the ambience you expect and was a little too clinical not something that bothered me but this is predominantly a German and Dutch resort but for me this just added to the nice atmosphere
I loved a lot about this resort! It had a chilled vibe but with a sporty edge. Accommodation was immaculate, food amazing and service and atmosphere great.

CanadaThe only aspect that wasn’t satisfactory was the service at dinner. It was hit or miss. For example I was rarely offered a drink like other tables were. I suspect this is because I was there alone, but can’t be sure.
The resort is very clean — I’ve never seen such attention to cleanliness at any resort. The food options were quite good — even for a veggie. There were plenty of daybeds and loungers available so I never had to get up early to claim one. The beach and water are beautiful and the perfect place to have a drink watching the sunset. It was also a nice bonus to have free laundry facilities available on site. The location was good as it’s an easy walk into Santa Maria on the sidewalk along the beach.

SwitzerlandThe biggest thumbs down for us was that my other half got violently ill on our last day at the resort. We didn't go anywhere else for the duration of our stay, so it must've been from water (ie cocktails or raw vegetables washed in tap water). We'd have expected that there would be something in place to avoid travellers falling ill. That being said, the hotel staff were really good with helping me whilst I was running around like a headless chicken trying to sort what to do in this situation. The TV channels are mostly all German, but that's honestly a minor point since you don't actually spend much time in your room!
We'd chosen this destination for a bit of winter sun without travelling for 11-12 hours. It's a short 15min drive from the airport (about 15 euros can fare). We'd chosen this hotel because it was all inclusive, adults only and had its own water sports centre. Everything positive you've read about this hotel in other reviews is spot on. The hotel is spotless. The rooms are of very generous size and very clean. The staff is very friendly. The food is AMAZING. When you think of all inclusive resorts, you think of quickly thrown together, average buffets. It is not the case at Robinson. The food was healthy, the options for dishes changed every day and every day you had options for dishes that were cooked in single portions just for you on top of the bulk cooked dishes. The quality of the food was incredible. There was new entertainment every night, including live music. The gym is a very generous size and the fitness classes were very good with very good instructors. If you're into watersports, you can try windsurfing for 1h to see if you like it for free and there's kitesurfing, paddle boarding and catamaran also available for you to try and learn. We'd happily stay again for a week of winter sun. Given all you get for what you pay for, it's incredibly good value for money.

ItalyIt feels like a German colony: German food, German classes, only German TV with no streaming access. I asked for having the fitness class in English and they told me: it's better not. They don't organize a lot of activities outside.
Nice location, new pools, variety of food. Towels available, large rooms, silence. Wifi stable and fully functioning
