How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood location, good room size, good sea view
We were disappointed with our stay. Upon check-in, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Throughout our 4-night stay, the room was never cleaned despite requests to reception. One receptionist in particular was extremely rude—constantly interrupting, correcting us, and deliberately refusing to communicate in English when addressed in English. The condition of the room was unsafe and uncomfortable: furniture had exposed nails, posing a risk for our toddler, while the bed was of very poor quality and only one flat pillow per person was provided. The hotel’s Booking page is misleading in its presentation of the beach. Instead of the advertised setup with lined chairs and umbrellas, only cheap, unstable umbrellas and chairs were available that you need to set them up yourself—at an additional charge. In fact, the cost was nearly the same as nearby beaches that actually provide high-quality service (Stable umbrellas facing the wind and proper more comfortable chairs). Finally, the baby cot was in such poor condition that we felt uneasy every time our toddler slept in it.

Verified reviewLocation is good, very close to the beach
Parking was not possible most days, the spaces are very tight and usually all of them were taken. Very few parking spots. Room needs a refresh, the bathroom was very worn and everything was in bad condition. Some towels had holes in them and they were not that clean. Staff was entering the room before 12:00 to clean, even though Do Not Disturb was on my door. Room was right on top of the pool and throughout the day there were children/adults constantly shouting.

Verified reviewPerfect location, carpark in front for easy access and carrying luggage. The terrace view was partly to the sea and other buildings. Comfortable access to the building. The beach is exactly next to it, just a few meters away.
The building facilities are not well maintained. The kitchen staff was impolite, the breakfast was poor, and the coffee was scraped. There is no juice only water.

Verified reviewDidn’t had any Wifi and no internet connection. I had work to do online and couldn’t because of this. Also should be wifi password in any room and password should be same everywhere in the hotel. Not different passwords and we had to ask receptionist to give me the password. They inputted it for me without me knowing what is the password. Its not a secret..

Verified reviewThe hotel is near to the beach. Parking is for free.
The cleanliness is not the strong point of this hotel. The shower tub was broken and every time than we use them,all the dirty water ,floods the bathroom. They didn't change the towels 5 days, They never used the vacuum cleaner ,only the broom and that only passing. The breakfast is the same every day.The only difference is that one day you have boiled egs,one day you have omellete.
