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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel is simply amazing. The staff are to be particularly commended for their professionalism, attentiveness and responsiveness. The pool is a haven of peace and quiet and the private beach with comfortable sunbeds on a white sandy beach was simply wonderful. The breakfast buffet and à la carte menu are of great quality and the Cuvée Restaurant is a must! I highly recommend this hotel!

GermanyWe stayed in a room with a private pool, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations or the price. Soundproofing is almost nonexistent — we could even hear activity from the reception area. There's no walkway across the pool to reach the canopy; the only way is to swim. At the same time, the so-called "private" pool lacks actual privacy, since anyone from the shared pool area can simply walk over — a rather absurd setup. The hotel feels quite worn down, clinging to the charm and ambition of a past era, but no longer delivering on it. Small details added to the disappointment: only one small bottle of water per day for two guests in the room — definitely could be improved. Breakfast service was slow at times, both in taking orders and in clearing used dishes from the table, even while guests were still eating.
The hotel’s location is generally good, especially in relation to the sea. However, this side of the island is quite windy, which may not appeal to everyone. The reception staff are clearly trying their best, but their limited understanding of English (around 70%) does create occasional misunderstandings and inconveniences. On a positive note, the restaurants offer a pleasant menu — food is generally tasty and beautifully presented. My wife left with mostly positive impressions, whereas mine were more grounded and realistic.

KazakhstanI had such a peaceful and relaxing stay at this hotel. I spent three nights here and it was exactly what I needed — a real break from the noise, stress, and everyday rush. The breakfasts and dinners were great, the bar and pool area were super nice, and the quiet sandy beach felt like a private little escape. Big thanks to all the staff for being so kind and attentive — really made the stay even better.

IsraelThe room – spacious, quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job every day. The breakfast – fresh, with a good variety of options. I really enjoyed the local specialties. The pool – clean and relaxing, with comfortable loungers . A great spot to unwind. The spa and treatments – absolutely excellent. The atmosphere was calming, and the massage I had was one of the best I’ve experienced. The staff – kind, professional, and always ready to help. They really made me feel welcome.

Boutique and luxurious! Spotlessly clean rooms and friendly staff… Everyone was so warm and welcoming that it made us feel absolutely amazing. At first, we were unsure whether to book this hotel, but after staying here, we can confidently say that if we return to Kos Island, we will definitely stay here again. The food is also excellent – there’s no need to look for a place to eat outside. The manager is always present and hands-on (honestly, you won’t find such a dedicated manager available 24/7 at any other hotel), and the bellboys are super sweet. To be honest, we loved every single member of the staff. Huge thanks to everyone!

Beautifully designed hotel in a stunning location. High standards of service from all the staff across all areas of the hotel. We stayed in a lovely suite overlooking the sea and our room was serviced twice a day. Customer care is faultless. Finally, the cuisine was exceptional especially at breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Highly recommended
