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.).

IsraelYou must walk 3 minutes on sand to get to hotel, so it’s pretty annoying. Beds creak and not very comfortable. We had a mosquito in the room.
Location is on the beach and good to divers. Good breakfast with variety.

SwitzerlandLying chairs would be nice, so the towels aren't on the "naked" beach and thus you can avoid the dogs sniffing them. The music at the bar ends at 11pm, could have it till 12pm/1am, but of course also nice that after 11pm it's very quite at the hotel, you can't have both.
Five different breakfast options, so there's definitely something for everybody. Location at Alona Beach is very nice, the only missing thing is lying chairs. The beach in front of Hennan Resort is a bit nicer and accessible for external guests, so we mostly went there.

IrelandWe stayed on Saturday and although the live rock band sounded great, we had an early night and needed ear plugs to get good quality sleep.
Toilet good, although there were many ants. Appreciated the silvered (one-way) windows which allowed privacy. Comfortable, but a bit noisy

TurkeyStaff makes too much noise all day. Kitchen and reception is very close to rooms, staff are always out and they talk and laugh too loud. Their walkie-talkies are too loud too, even if they have walkie-talkies they speak each other from distance with loud. I love sitting and relaxing at the balcony but i couldn’t do here enough because of noise. Besides I don’t think staff serve customers well, they never smile, they don’t appreciate their job. There is a management issue at this hotel, it looks like there is no management or staff take over the control and manage the hotel as if they please. I haven’t seen a hotel staff without discipline like this. Keep in mind that there is not a road to hotel, you need to walk on sand with luggage about 100 meters. It wasn’t very big deal for me but you might want to know in advance. Pool is very small but the hotel is by the beach, if pool is important for you this hotel may not be for you. Rooms with pool access would be better if pool is important.
Location is nice, it is on beachfront, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Room and bathroom was spacious and clean. Wifi was very good. Breakfast was ok. It’s a nice option if you have good price but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

MaltaI unfortunately ended up in a room next to exceptionally rude people who invited non resident hotel guests over and where extremely rowdy in Russian till 4am until I had 2 go and ask them to lower their voices twice. They not only started shouting at me but continued. Someone else from another room had also asked them to refrain.The room was v close to the reception but nobody intervened!
The place is in a good location.

United StatesThere is not parking and the walk from the drop off point is not friendly to PWD I have to cancel my booking for my parents who are PWDs. The staff offered help to accomodate the trandfer of my paretnts from the drop off point up to the hotel but i found it too cumbursome.
The location is so near to the beach it's just steps away. The pool is also amazing. My nephews love to swim and they enjoy the hotel. There is also available rentals for para sailing. There was an incident during the parasailing and the staff were helpful.
