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.).

PolandThe boiler is installed in the wardrobe of one the rooms and it's quite noisy when it heats the water, so take earplugs with you ;) Some furniture needs refurbishing or replacement already.
The hotel complex is well organized. A supermarket is in front of the reception. Friendly staff. Spacious rooms.

United KingdomSofa in the apartment was quite uncomfortable . Despite somebody coming to fix the tv Ariel we could only get bbc channels some of the time . Food in restaurant was nearly all unacceptably cold. Whilst I very much appreciated that there were some activities , the young woman who supervised the activities was superficially cheerful but was lacking in knowledge about many of the activities and seemed disorganised and in a rush to get them finished . Losing all interest in the guests as soon as her time was up . Not a natural I feel .
Apartment was very clean and spacious with decent cooking facilities and fridge/freezer . Apartment was downstairs so quite peaceful.Restaurant staff very helpful and friendly . When I complained that the fried eggs at breakfast were too cold to be edible , I was offered freshly cooked ones by Manolo , which I accepted . We were offered freshly cooked eggs each morning after . Unfortunately the 2nd time they were offered , I accepted , but they were very undercooked . I gave up after that .

IrelandOverall, the hotel is nice. 3 stars is a good rating. Let's start : Reception. Staff is extremely polite. Especially General manager / Director Esperanza & another polite man what check us in. Very helpful & always smiling! Dining experience : Limited menu for dinners. All staff super nice. Especially Manuolo (sorry forgot spelling) Jesus and other staff what don't remember names. Pool bar gentleman sorry forgot name but he was there everyday. Super polite & professional! Kids club: Isabela working very hard. Kids club room needs fresh air as is smelly. It's very hot & small. Paints are not washable!!! Kids clothes ruined. Not suitable for using by little children so management should keep it in mind. Mini disco for children is too early as 7pm and lasts like 15 min. Would be nice if will be longer as children really enjoyed it. Instead of after standing in the long queue for getting a face paint done & then was refused to do it as it was too long. Adults entertainment the singers & Ethiopia 🇪🇹 circus Amazing! There was once a magic show advertised but never happened. Playground area: very dangerous & should not be used by children until floor grounds are fixed. The gaps between tiles make children fall & scratch skin very easily like our child has a fall on the uneven ground . Pool area : nice size of the 2 pools. Beds should be power washed daily or at least every few days. Scum visible above the water. I believe it can be washed as I didn't see much of it in different hotels. Room: rooms spacious, outside chairs & table not very clean. Overall, we had a nice stay. Nothing was a big trouble. Staff is working very hard all day. There's not much to see around. Lovely beach. Few nice restaurants. If you like quiet, not overcrowded place. This is a good choice.

United KingdomStairs everywhere, not easy access for prams at all. Also, children's play area rubber matting needs urgent replacement as numerous trip hazards and material has gone hard and causes injury when young children trip up on lifting tiles. Also, something needs to be done in bar area particularly to sort mosquito problem. Sitting down for a drink and being bitten to death means no-one uses the bar which is a shame.
Excellent location. Pool area is great. Close to beaches and restaurants and bars.

United KingdomIts a little tired around the edges in places, all still works fine but you can see the some of the fittings are starting to show there age. But not dirty or anything, it was all very clean. One night our apartment just started smelling of cigarette smoke (assuming from one of the other guests) which seemed to be coming through a vent somewhere, we spoke to reception and they happily moved us over to a fresh apartment and there was no issue.
Staff are super friendly and always more than happy to help. The women covering the Reception was really nice and very welcoming. We were self-catering so normally popped to the shop opposite for a fresh pastry and coffee in the morning, its super close so very easy. Didn't use the restaurant as opted for local restaurants instead, however used the pool bar for lunch one day which was quite nice for simple burger chips kind of offerings.

Everything we needed! The apartment was clean and comfortable with great kitchen facility. The pool was on our doorstep, clean, many sun loungers and a nice pool bar for drinks/snacks. There were washing facilities available (very useful for a sick baby) and a supermarket right across the road.

United KingdomTV in room - only English channels were BBC news and CBBC. TV signal is switched off at 1030 every night. WiFi.- Couldn't connect to WiFi while in room. No late check out- Requested a late check out before travelling. Requested again on arrival and was told check again 3 days before departure. Asked again 3 days before departure and told to check again 1 day before departure. Asked again 1 day before departure only to be told no late check out was available as room was needed for new arrivals. Vacated room at 1200 midday as requested on departure day. As we had a late flight home we were still on the complex at 16.30pm. We happened to check our room and it was still empty. Pool bar - Very limited cocktails available. Also quite expensive.
Location - Excellent for beach and local restaurants. Sun loungers- Always lots available at any time of the day. Friendly reception staff.
