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 StatesThere were so many mosquitos. The housekeepers leave the door open when they are cleaning and mosquitos flood the room; we killed over 20 mosquitos in 1 night. We also had to move from a Deluxe Room to a Standard Room because the toilet was broken. The rooms were the same size, but not as nice looking. In addition, every time we went for breakfast, they kept trying to charge us for an extra person because a standard room does not include breakfast. They even chased us out in the parking lot when we were leaving because they insisted again we pay for breakfast.
The food was excellent. The location is wonderful. The ambiance and quietness were wonderful.

United StatesIt was too far by car from the airport. On a good day with light traffic you may be able to do the trip in 30 to 45 minutes. With bad traffic, you must give yourself 1.5 hours to go to the airport. It was a pain.
Room was nice. Restaurant was really nice with a very wide menu selection.

United StatesIt is actually quite a long way from the airport. Because of bad road and slow traffic, it takes over an hour to get there. Be aware that you must give yourself extra time for the journey.

United StatesThis time I booked an Ocean view room and I’ve decided I like the other rooms better because they are a little bit bigger and the bathroom has a nicer shower and bathroom overall. I thought ocean view would be closer to the actual ocean. Plus there is no outside seating with the ocean view room.
Quiet, clean and comfortable

NetherlandsThe food menu at the restaurant has allot of options however everything we tried was a little bland in flavour. The staff is very friendly though and will be of great service to you.
A very relaxing and great place to escape from the busy city. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are in great/clean condition. Their masseuse Flora is an exceptional therapist and we would highly recommend a treatment if you are staying here.

PolandIt is a small hotel with a great atmosphere. Definitely recommended for adults. I loved the ocean view and the garden. Delicious food and wine. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant gets busy sometimes but the staff is very patient and helpful, especially one guy Edison who is always working hard with a smile on his face. On weekends there are artists performing live at the restaurant. The property is very clean

United StatesThere was nothing we didn't like, based on the expectations of the property and pricing we paid.
For a three star hotel property, it certainly met expectations overall. Rooms were comfortable, clean and met three star standards. The landscaping of the property is meticulous and very well-managed. The property is on the ocean front, and the dining room is very pretty, comfortable and every table has a beautiful ocean view. The staff were all friendly. The breakfast was good, with an average (but good) omelette bar, fresh fruit, and average pastries and juices. To be clear, the breakfast met expectations for a three star property and we were pleased.

For Solo Travellers who want to stay away from the Rush this is one option. It's kept clean and vegetation is ample. I really loved it. I suggest one carries a mosquito repellent. Staff is friendly. The property has a rustic vintage look which I really liked it.
