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 Arab EmiratesThe food was not what we had expected and during our stay one of the restaurants was closed. it opened the day we left.
Staff were super friendly and very attentive. Krishna and Raj in particular were wonderful and made us feel at home. Housekeeping was great and the room we booked had an amazing view of the beach. The plunge pool was the perfect temperature.

RomaniaThe facility is about 13 years old and definitely needs refurbishment. Being a big property you need a golf cart to move around and get to the parking. Nevertheless there are only 2 carts serving 92 rooms and waiting time is quite big sometimes
It is a very large property and you get to explore the nature in private

IndiaBreakfast was a big let down. There was not much variety, possibly due to the lack of space to arrange stuff. The beach is unattractive.
Creatively designed property at a scenic location. Staff generally helpful. As we alighted from the car, we were warmly greeted by Pradeep. During our entire stay, Raj was always there to take care of our every need. The Quality Manager was also very warm very patiently listened to our feedback about the stay.

Saudi ArabiaFelt a little dated, water shortage (paying for water seems strange) even dinner had NO water unless paid for.........should be included in price surely. Didnt mind the 'expensive' beer and wine, but water should be incuded.......and in general would put food at 3-4 star, could seriously be much improved. Did feel a little like being taken for money, first and last action involved payment, dont have any issue paying for anything (kinda miffed paying for water), but seemed to drive most situations, should be more discreet......
Lovely room, very good dining area. Wife enjoyed Spa. The people there were so lovely! Nothing too much! Oh, the beds, fabulous comfy, comfy, comfy......bliss! The addition of a light projector in room at first disoriented us, but was a delightfully nice touch, a little unusual in a nice way! "To provide extra ambiance on yoir last night".

MalaysiaThere was no wifi in the rooms (only in the lobby and restaurant) which was a little tricky for us. Mainly the disappointment though was the kids club which is really very very poor and not comparable to other hotels in any way. The ladies that work there are sweet and very kind but its a tiny, dim lit room, the toys are broken, the paint is chipping, its is far far from the expectations of a resort kids club. The timetable is vague and the activities are not properly run or planned for. We went for the scheduled treasure hunt and the lady then made the kids close their eyes while she hid old wooden baby bricks around the garden for them to find in less than 5 minutes (compared to other hotels where there is full planning and a proper activity experience.) With a relatively small budget it can be upgraded and I think it should be done urgently because its a real shame. To be honest its a very depressing space, it looks like a rundown pre school. Again the staff are kind (but are often on their cell phones) and the space they are working in is far from ideal and therefore the kids are all a bit bored and left to their own devices meaning hardly any children stayed in the space more than 30 minutes or so without getting bored and wanting to leave.
The hotel staff are an absolute pleasure and I would like to particularly mention the manager Raj who went above and beyond to check in on us every day and ensure we had a great stay, Rajiv in the restaurant who was both caring and flexible with kids food and ensuring my little girl had a great variety. He was generous and wonderful with families. Finally, Mehnaaz in the shop who was so unbelievably kind and interested in my daughter. She became our holiday "best friend" (according to my 6 year old!) and truly gave us a magical experience with her interest and engagement. The food was good (not great but fine) and the breakfast buffet was ok - nothing from a food or drinks POV went above expectations but neither was anything disappointing. It was all absolutely fine. Beyond the staff, the rooms are lovely (if a little worn down) and the beds very comfortable. The whole hotel is a little on the old side so it could do with some TLC but for the price I think its great value and we slept very well.

Saudi ArabiaOur stay at So Sofitel Mauritius was pleasent, there are a few points to make and travelers be aware: -the resort is big and you need a golf cart to move around, elders take care. -all water activties are free! so is the items in the room bar/fridge, refills twice a day too. -somehow all lights in the bathroom work together, all on or all off. You find that annoying if you are sharing the room with a partner and you wake at night to take a leak. -housekeeping was excellent. Always on time, listen to your needs. -there is no ATM on resort grounds. and the credit card machine don't accept all cards. -all attractions in the south/south west are close by, 30 mins at most. -I hate to say it, but the resturant food is ok at best. I would like to thank Deviy, Rag and Tania from staff for kind hospitality.
