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):
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.).

RomaniaI didn't like the outdated facilities, the drinks and ice cream were of poor quality.
I liked the size of the room, the sea view, the friendliness of the staff, bulgarian dance evening, the pretty good food. The hotel offers a fair price-quality ratio.

RomaniaAlthough the hotel is rated 4 stars, it is obvious that it needs renovation. The furniture, the bathrooms are outdated.Another minus is the beach package, the sun loungers and beach umbrellas are old, damaged, poor quality. They don't even have mattresses!
The hotel location, next o the beach. Friendly staff, well organised. The food was delicious, good quality. Very well organized too.

RomaniaThe evaluation of the hotel does not correspond to the reality. The hotel does not deserve the 4 stars: the tube in the bathtoom degradated, the quality of the shower gel low, there were no towels when we got into the room, the quality of the food very poor.
The only thing we liked was the service we were offered from the girls from the reception.

RomaniaIt is definitely not a 4-star hotel because the room feels outdated. For instance, some of the tiles were cracked, the bathroom door wouldn't close easily, not enough sockets. The extra bed for the kid was not comfortable and it was rather shabby. We didn't use the pool area, we didn't like the artificial grass next to it, it looks cheap. I would have liked for the cleaning staff to really clean the floor instead of offering tons of varied towel forms.
Very clean, the hotel is very close to the beach. There was one toilet room and another one for the actual bathtub. A nice surprise was the mini washing machine. The food is varied and fresh, on the whole. The staff is polite enough and willing to help, they even responded promptly when asked to help with a bed issue.

RomaniaSuperficial cleaning in the bathroom. The toilet was not disinfected. It smelled like urine in the bathroom in the room and in the hallway. Water was only available from the dispenser. You receive a bottle of water in the room upon arrival, that's it. The juices were full of dyes, juice from the dispenser. The sun loungers on the beach did not have mattresses and were not enough for all the hotel tourists.
A good hotel for a low budget. The location is excellent, in a good and quieter area of the resort. I received a free room upgrade. Very large room, with very comfortable beds, air conditioning that you can adjust as you wish and turn it on and off when you want, the jambs on the room windows isolate the noise from outside very well. The staff strives to clean but there are also many tourists who do not respect common sense rules such as coming washed and dressed decently at mealtime, not with all the sand from the beach. The food is not of the best quality, but there are also good dishes, no one goes hungry. Very good vegetables and fruits. The coffee is good. Juices are to be avoided. Water is only available from the dispenser.

UkraineSingle Plastic cups for alcohol would be better to change for paper or glass. We were supposed to have early check-in as our package confirmed it. In reality, the reception- not young gentleman said the hotel was fully booked, then we asked for all in braclets but he never gave us them before 14.00,thus we haven't realized what was included into early check-in)))
Great location, free beach facilities, good food. animation team is really good for children, though not much stuff for adults.

Austria1) Hotel should be considered a 3star Hotel, not a 4star Hotel. For the price I paid I also didn't expect a 4star Hotel 2) Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Not just poor variety, also poor quality. As usual with a 3star Hotel. Other than eggs I did not have what to eat. At least the coffee was drinkable. 3) Unsecured parking outside on the street costs 20 BGN per day 4) Room: Mattresses soft, worn out and uneven. Wet room: No shower cabin or separating glass wall.
1) Friendly, helpful, fast responding staff. Starting with providing a (paid) parking place, taking the luggage to the room, helpful reception, fast waiters in the breakfast area 2) Good location close to the beach 3) Hotel has its own area at the beach with free umbrellas / sunbeds (however no cushions are provided) 4) Pet friendly (with an additional fee) 5) Affordable & acceptable Hotel for a weekend break but not recommended for a longer stay

BulgariaThe hotel needs some renovation to be done soon, as it is a bit worn out! It would also be nice to have double beds for couples! Now they just put two single beds together and there is space between the mattresses, which is not great!
Perfect location! The food is good and the staff were extremely nice and helpful! They changed our room for one with better sea view at the first time of asking! Although the furniture is a little old, the room was clean and cosy! We had some personal health issues and all the staff were as helpful as possible, starting with the reception all the way to the hotel manager! The hotel is not luxurious, however it is great value for money! Close to the beach, free sunbeds and umbrella were provided, free drinks (not the highest quality, but it's what you get in Bulgaria)! Altogether, we are happy with what we got on a relatively low budget! Should keep in mind that the parking is paid and it's not very big! I guess during the high-season this might be a problem.

RomaniaSome areas could be cleaner — the pool had sand for a few days, and the ice cream section wasn’t very tidy. Food variety was okay but not what you'd expect from a 4-star, and sweets weren’t great( no taste ). Paid parking is available in front of the hotel, The beach and pool bars were nice, though the beach bar could offer more options. Beach sunbeds were without the mattresses, making them hard to sit.
The hotel has an excellent location near the beach, with free access and a nice pool area. Rooms are spacious, food was good, and the reception kindly upgraded us to a sea view. Staff were always friendly and the room was cleaned regularly. Good terrace for meals and good pressure for hot water.

RomaniaThe hotel needs renovation.
Food - not too many choices but enough and good. Staff - very friendly. Room - we had an apartment with sea view even if the one we booked was not with sea view. Beach - most of the seats were not "reserved" full day, meaning that at launch most of people took their staff and left free seats. But people used to "reserve" seats with towels in the morning and come to the beach after breakfast.

RomaniaSunbeds are limited. Unfortunately, we had to face the problem of not finding any sunbeds on the beach, even though other guests, whom the sunbeds were not included, were laying on them. Really disappointing, having the fact that we paid for them in advance, and nobody controlled the who gets them and who doesn’t. Rooms do not meet with the rating of the hotel.
The beach is right in front of the hotel. Many varieties of food, really friendly staff.

RomaniaI didn't like that the so called private beach didn't have enough sunbeds and there weren't special places for the people with sheets. The other problem was that there was a tourist who came with a Cd-player and the music was extremely loud. I would have liked that the staff who was hired to manage the beach to supervise the comfort of tourists.
The staff was very friendly and helpful,but the problem was that some of them didn't speak English very well and there were some situations when we couldn't communicate well.
