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 KingdomIt was like home from home. My friend and I stayed at sandies last August. All the staff were very helpful and friendly we were treated very well.
The breakfast were absolutely delicious chef did us proud with the food. My husband is a very fussy eater and he had no complaints. That was one of the reasons I took him to sandies. My experience last August was phenomenal I had was to back there with him.

AustriaEverybody is writing that there are securitys and they don´t let the beachboys to go to the hotel. Thats true! BUT!!! There is everyday the same beachboy who is giving money to the securitys that he can stay in front of the hotel on the beach! and he is really annoying. (picture below) Be careful if you book any tour with this guy! The guy is giving FAKE MONEY (fake dollars to customers), We also told this problem to the reception, but they don´t care about it. Prices are everywehre cheaper than at this guy! Securities will simply dump the rubbish into the sea (picture below) One other thing is that if you don´t book all inclusve, the stuff make the prices as they want. One day we paid 5$ for 1 beer, another day 3$ and so on. (Outside the hotel beer prices are arround 2,5$!)
Perfect location in a quiet area Hotel is also really safe. Best location for the sunset! (picture below without filter) Water is always close (There is always a possibilty to swim at every time not like on east coast of Sansibar) We have only booked the room including breakfast and it was worth it. By walking 5-10 minutes on the beach there are plenty restaurants which all of them have good prices and good food. Stuff there is really friendly and de animateurs are also very helpful in any situation. breakast is ok, Every 2nd day you have the same.

United Arab EmiratesWell...the crows are a nuisance, but the restaurant staff did their best to keep them away! One suggestion is to have lifeguards at the pool and the beach.
People make a place and the hotel staff were lovely, kind and professional. The location is stunning and the gardens are beautiful...kudos to the gardeners! Good food and plenty of it. Our room was perfect for two adults and two kids and the hotel is very child friendly. There are a range of were activities every day for those who were interested-you can even learn to play Bao...check it out!

United KingdomFood was not bad but average. Would not recommend all inclusive when so easy to access restaurants along beach.
Great location. Kids loved the swimming pool and the variety of wildlife they found in the grounds. Beach is really pretty. Can walk up beach to town to access restaurants and bars. Good location for doing dolphin snorkeling trips.

SlovakiaBreakfast was good, but I missed better choice of vegetables. Even when the vegetables were covered, there were flies or other insects sometimes. I missed the napkins :) I always had to ask. The coffee was bad through the breakfast, later at the beach bar was better. Staff was slowly , but it is normal in Africa - "Pole pole" for everything. Our room (garden room) was not cleaned daily enough and towels were still missing, but they were always delivered after a phone call to reception. Small lizards in the house, I had to overcome my fear, but I managed everything :) The beach could have more free sunbeds in high season (febr.-march).
The location was perfect. Beautiful resort, very cleaned, really a resort reminiscent of Africa :) a lot of people taking care about the gardens and resort, lovely beach and the sea. I saw fish and starfish. Lots of greenery, beautiful huge Baobabs in the resort. Sufficient choice for breakfast and dinner. Always smiling people, in Hakuna Matata mode :-) If you have all inclusive, you have good choice for alcoholic+non-alcoholic drinks, ice-cream, nuts... Electricity seemed to be out especially in the evening, but it didn't make any problem. No mosquitoes during the whole stay in the resort!

Czech RepublicThe main value here comes from the location and beauty of the beach. But that's the way it is. Family rooms are older, but spacious with 2 showers. Airocn was sufficient. I would say it is a bit overpriced hotel.
The best thing about this property is its location on the beautiful beach and the beach was not crowded. The sea was also excellent, you can always swim, also great for children. The property was clean, the garden was nice, the baobabs were charming, staff, and security kind to us. The food and drinks were tasty but nothing special, the kids did not eat much. All together, it was an enjoyable stay.

SlovakiaI saw one of the managers treating his employees in a not very friendly manner during the breakfast, perhaps something to reflect on a bit.
We loved the location, right on one of the most pristine beaches I've ever seen. Daily room cleaning, nice pool and most of all - the attitude of the staff was above average. They let us stay in the room after official check out as my daughter was sick. Also there was awesome resort doctor Edina which was a real angel when my daughter got fever, she helped us a lot.
