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.).

MalaysiaCheck-in was too crowded and the fact that the turtle viewing and check in was same counter was hopeless. But if the purpose was to watch turtles then this place provided you with just that.

QatarAs it was Eid, we were advised during the evening tour, that the morning tour of the turtles was cancelled. Given this is the main reason people stay, it would have been good to have been advised earlier.
It was convenient to stay close to the Turtles. The nearby beach was quite beautiful. Staff were friendly and food in the restaurant was very good.

United Arab Emiratesthe food was alright , it could have been better ! the crowd to see the turtles could have been more organised, as it was very crowded and all were pushing and charging to the door , also while looking at the turtles the groups were tooo big , which i felt was not appropriate for the Turtles , being a reserve ! they should be more strict about the crowded humans disturbing the turtles
the tents were amazing , the location and the view to the sea was fantastic.

BelgiumThe tents are partially covered from winds but during the night the impact of the wind on the canvas does keeps reminding you that the coastline has strong winds year round
Large tents at 1.5km from the beach. Good selection and quality of food at the restaurant buffet.

United Arab EmiratesThe only negative was probably breakfast with almost the same menu each day but not not really a big issue.
Travelled in July and stayed for 3 nights. We got to see a lot of turtles laying their eggs. The evening tour was really good as the guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. The morning tour helps you see the turtles clearly but has a silent guide. The weather was amazing. It was a strong wind. It was humid but bearable. The tents offer a nice change from a standard room but can get noisy with the wind constantly hitting the tents. I would still choose the tent as it is at the top of a hill and has amazing views. The staff are friendly and helpful. Especially, Abhay at the reception. He helped us organize a trip for fishing and snorkeling.

IrelandI think overall it is quite expensive for what you are getting. We also had to pay extra to enter the museum which seemed to have conflicting information or sections that were closed, so I wouldn't recommend doing that.
We really enjoyed the turtle tour, we went once in the evening and once in the morning and it was great that that was included in our stay. As it was low season we only saw one turtle on each tour but it was amazing to see and I would definitely recommend. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the restaurant staff were really nice. The room was basic but clean and had everything we needed.
