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 StatesThe pool was large however needed maintenance (paint) on the pool bottom. Could have been more pool loungers.
Our suite was very spacious, gorgeous bathroom and large patio overlooking the grounds and ocean. Very nice restaurant, especially overlooking the ocean.

United StatesThe room itself had some annoyances: there are quite a few things broken, such as toilet flush button, AC dripping on the floor. You don't expect that in such a hotel / room, but not a big deal. Kitchen was missing a lot of stuff. Patio chairs old and semi broken.
We had the Royal Suite with private pool overlooking the ocean. The room is so close to the ocean that the waves will keep you up, if you are not used to it. I did not mind, but some of my crew did :) Room was huge! We arrived late from a flight that landed at 7PM. Hotel room was ready for us, but the extra bed was not. We had to request extra bedding for the 5th person in the room. Took a while to get it right. On the positive side: View was amazing, room was nice and accommodating with nice patio, and pool. Good value for the money.

United StatesThere is only one restaurant on the property, which was overpriced compared to going into town. The food was good, but limited selection. There are no other restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. It's much better to go into town for your meals if you can.

AustraliaThe bed was a little firm for our liking but still comfortable.
Toni and the other man on reception with him were exceptional. They were both friendly, helpful and very fluent in English which we were so grateful for as we had struggled with this at the Hilton earlier in our vacation. Infact, even the Porter Nui? had excellent English and was very helpful. The black sand beach is stunning and unique with soft sand, crashing waves and beautiful views of mountains fading into the distance. Our room was comfortable and quite large with a generous balcony too. They also had a great sized pool.
