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.).

NorwayFantastic place, we stayed here for 5 days and it great. We had the all inclusive option and we certainly recommend that. The breakfast, lunch and dinner was fantastic with great variety. Remember that many good deinks arw also included in the all inclusive. There are also alternative restaurant, the Italian one was wonderful. The staff are really good and hospitality is top notch. We also recommend the see food restaurant if you like that, the cheff is amazing with long experience from Hyatt chain you will be blown away. There are also entertainment programs for kids and it ia a very safe place for the whole family, the parents can relax while kids can run around, play and bathe in the pool. The gym is also good and it has all the necessary equipment. I should also mention Irfan the manager, he is so professional, service minded and caring.

FinlandOverall food experience not too pleased, would have expected better food. Some small bugs in bathroom. Personnel a bit slow and a little bit too on you to ask every couple minutes how you are. Beach sellers outside resort area very jumpy to an uncomfortable degree, which virtually made it impossible to enjoy the beach at all.
Nice pool area with closeness to restaurants and bars. Nice and clean facilities connected to beach area, great with top class tennis court and equipment (big kudos for elite-level tennis rackets!!). Nice and helpful staff, and impeccable wifi all over the resort. Rooms also very nice and fresh

United KingdomThe food was not great, quite often over cooked and for the themed meal on the beach a lot of food ran out even though there was plenty there seemed no planning to cook more as some was running out. There was a lack of management and the kitchen staff did not seem to know what they were doing. The hotel ran out of chenin blanc on the AI menu although there were 4 other chenin blancs on the extra pay menu. Amarula had also ran out. It seemed like they were running stock down in time for the rain season.
The bar staff were very attentive and gave excellent service. The room was comfortable with good attention to detail, with fresh towels, flowers and turn down service. The mattress was even changed for us.

EthiopiaThe beds were very uncomfortable. My wife and I had sore neck and backs each morning. The main pool was a little hazy.
The place is as advertised the pictures don't do it justice. Its a beautiful compound with extremely friendly staff. We really like how they had a monthly staff appreciation day where they staff of the month was pick by guest. Normally all-inclusive food and drinks aren't that great but not here; the fooood was so good. We went as a family of three and would definitely go again.

Romaniathe cleaning staff is not very attentive and they took the sheets with some personal things (a toy and a pyjama). Some of them I recovered :). Put your clothes in order and don't leave them on the bed!
We are a family with 3 children (9, 10 and 16 years old). I stayed 1 week in the resort and I can tell you that it was fantastic. From reception to departure. the food is exceptional and safe. The bars, especially the one at the upper pool, are well stocked and the staff very kind and friendly. I also did 2 dives (fish and turtle, but dying coral). I also had a small problem with an umbrella that was blown away by the wind and broke my sunglasses, but Javier promised me that I would be compensated. I look forward to this. Do not withdraw money from the airport ATM. They withdrew the money from our account but did not give us cash. We are still investigating with the bank! Everything else was perfect! I recommend to families with children!

TurkeyWe tried early check in but it was impossible and had to wait until 2 p.m where we arrived very very early in the morning. We waited so long at the reception for a space to shower. The hotel needs a IT room, that was what is missing.
The staff is extremely sweet and helpful. The hotel itself is a nice natural setting with nice amenities. The beach and the pool is great. The crowd is good quality. I really liked it when the receptionist called us to ask how was our stay. They made nice surprises for me for my birthday

United Kingdomonly downside was when you went off the private beach and towards the sea there was a lot of sellers. allows some people to talk with locals and buy souvenirs and activities. however for me it was a bit of a pain when trying to have peaceful walks along the water.
Everything was perfect. I had my doubts about spending that much on a hotel stay but it was well worth it. great staff, great food and great entertainment. an unforgettable experience. allow you to relax or support in the booking of activities. hope to visit again.

The best place we have stayed so far. The resort has many free activities for the guests, different restaurants (with international and local food) and bars, cute boutique shop, very beautiful and clean beach. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is very delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful, smiling all the time and doing their best to make you feel special! you can never be bored here-there are trainings, pool and beach volleyball, tennis, yoga,reef walks, diving lessons, kayaking, as well as many books in different languages available to hire for a day from the outside libraries. Every night there is a special program (tribal dances/Masai show/live band etc). Beautiful landscape with ocean view!Last but not least it is extremely safe! We definitely recommend this place
