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 reviewWelcoming, friendly and attentive staff. Great facilities and wonderful views. Good quality breakfast with lots of choices. The restaurant was lovely when we visited one evening. The location is ideal with just a short walk (down a hill) to town where beaches, restaurants and walking routes are located. We had on site parking (not dedicated spaces) that felt secure and made check in and check out easy.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly. The hotel offers a shuttle service between the hotel and the town/beach. This was really useful and nice to have. The driver was super nice!!
We could hear everything from our room. The cleaning staff started working at 9am in the morning in the rooms in front of ours and they were constantly shouting to each other. We could not rest well.

Verified reviewThe hotel and setting are beautiful, with lovely views. We had a great room with a large balcony. We were there for four nights, a few days relaxation, aiming to spend most of the time at the hotel. Unfortunately, when we went to book our evening meal, following the instructions on the information about the hotel we arrived, we were told the restaurant was closed until 1st May. No apology, and said as if it should have been obvious. This meant no lunch was available either. I can’t find any reference to this anywhere on their website or the description of the hotel here. I wouldn’t have booked the place otherwise. It really wasn’t the experience I thought I’d booked.

Verified reviewThis is a gem of a hotel. Located slightly out of town, the views from our sea facing room were spectacular. The rooms are comfortable, clean and a good size. Staff are lovely and looked after us well. I would be happy to visit again.
As mentioned, the hotel is slightly out of town on a hill. It's ok to walk down, but a steeper climb to come back. I would recommend using the hotel shuttle bus and/or local taxi

Verified reviewWe attended a wedding there and what can I say, the venue was so beautiful, fantastic views and lots of outdoor space. The food was great with a vast selection of breakfast and lunch choices. The staff was so helpful especially the tall waiter ( I didn't get his name!) who looked after us so well! Very comfortable beds, spoessly clean, and a lift was available. It's a steep walk back from the town but worth it for the views! They also provide a shuttle every 30 minutes.We loved everything about our stay!
