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 reviewHaving the view of the bay. The staff were excellent and helpful. Walking on to the sand beach (one of the few with sand in the Riviera). The hike to the West from the hotel along the coast is spectacularly beautiful and goes for quite a long way.
The entry into the water from the hotel is a bit tricky. They do provide water shoes, but still one must be very careful on the rocks.

Verified reviewThe uniqueness of the the hotel is expressed in every detail: from little special touches in the rooms (natural scents, bed linen, coffee/tea set), to luminosity of spaces, to splendid (!) view across the bay, to infrared sauna and swimming pool that you can book for private use - this hotel is like nothing I had experienced before (with many 5-star hotels in 50 countries across the globe on my account). The experience at Splendid cannot be conveyed through words - it needs to be lived!!! I will for sure return soon!
Eggs could be added to breakfast spread as a standard (and not extra) item.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you appreciated the unique touches and overall experience at our hotel. We undestand your feed back regarding your suggestion about including eggs as a standard item. This is an extra charge today since we offer personalized service and strive to cater to individual preferences. The eggs are cooked à la carte within than 5mins. But we understand the value of your feedback and will certainly consider this for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back and providing a new experience!

Verified reviewThe view from our bedroom window was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The Azure blue sea and the sound of waves lapping against the rocks below was such a treat. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, helping us to book the private swimming pool and suggesting places for dinner that evening. The hotel transports you back into the 1920s with its styling and we even bought a poster to take home and remind us of this gem of a hotel.
