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.).

United Kingdombreakfast buffet was not as interesting and the omelette wasn't cooked to normal standard as the requested filling is not cooked just added raw after eggs fried
beach and all surrounding fully accessible which is a perfect point. Swimming pool and all the general surrounding was welcoming. the air conditioning system was very effective and the patio lounge has furniture very impressive

IrelandIt is in the middle of nowhere, nothing to do at night. I liked this but we had a car. If you have kids, I’d say they may be bored. No irons on the property apparently 🙄 Quite outrageous.
The location is in the middle of nowhere. Ideal for completely shutting off. There literally nothing else to do only relax. So many areas to sun bathe…. Really aesthetically pleasing. Was rather pleasantly surprised as I stayed in another sister hotel last year in capitolo which was dreadful.

HungaryWe had a quadruplets suite next to the bar, so kids couldn’t sleep until 23:00 because of the loud live music . The resort is a few km away from the city in the middle of farmlands, so you will need a car, or at least to use shuttle service of the Hotel, to get to populated areas.
Nice garden with small rabbits running around, many free and comfortable sunbeds available. Food and coffee is 5 star, as it should be in Italy. The beach is sandy however the coastline is rocky, so you can enter the sea using stairs. Apartments are clean, and air conditioned however I didn’t feel them fresh, well separated or too cosy comparing the price. Nice place to relax, but it is smaller than expected from the homepage.

EcuadorVery dissapointed with the behavior of the reception staff during our check-in on 12 July around 8:00 PM. The staff member on duty was extremely unprofessional and rude. We had to wait approximately five minutes while she finished what appeared to be a personal phone call, despite us standing at the front desk. Additionally, while checking us in, she made fun of our names, which was both disrespectful and inappropriate. This experience gave us a very poor first impression of the hotel. We expect a certain level of courtesy and professionalism from front desk staff, and unfortunately, this was not met. I hope you take this feedback seriously and ensure better training or oversight to prevent similar experiences for future guests.
We loved the beach area and truly appreciated the comfortable chairs available for guests. The breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety and quality that made our mornings very enjoyable.

Romania- the receptionists were not very friendly - when we arrived after a 6 hour delay flight we asked if we could eat anything there and the receptionist didn't help at all, but we went to the bar and the staff there helped us and made 2 pizzas - I asked for an iron and they told me to leave the clothes in a bag and write "only iron" (and I left a tip), at the check out I was charged 80-90 euros for that ( they didn't tell me that I will be charged) - in general the staff is great except the receptionists
- nice and quiet location - very good food - waiters were very friendly and helpful - nice rooms ( the shower was too small for the big bathroom but it was ok) - big parking - the beach is with sand but the entrance in the sea is rocky

United KingdomWe didn’t find the reception staff very welcoming or cheerful . I don’t know if it’s a lack of training or a symptom of a large hotel where they see many people come and go. The hotel provides one small bottle of water on arrival. This seems a little mean . Surely one bottle per person per day should be the basic requirement ( again as in every other establishment that we visited ) The evening entertainment could be quite loud if you had a room close to it . It is definitely advisable to have a car at this hotel as it isn’t near any towns or shops. It is only 10 minutes from Polignano which is a lovely town with great bars and restaurants .
The hotel has a good sized pool and a good beach area although it is completely rocky and you have to enter the water by steps from a pontoon. I didn’t mind this but if you want a sandy beach then this is not the place for you . The sea is very clear and good for snorkelling . There are many comfortable sun beds in the grounds and on the beach .The gardens are beautifully kept and it is a very peaceful hotel. Beach towels were available but this wasn’t made clear at check in . Our room was large and comfortable and kept very clean. The coffee was restocked daily. Breakfast was superb and the best we had during our 9 day tour of Puglia. A lot of choice, great smoothies and the pancake lady was brilliant. And the coffee lady. Great coffee !! We didn’t eat dinner here so cannot comment on the food . We enjoyed our stay at this hotel despite the few negatives . It is also only 40 minutes from Bari airport.

United KingdomThe entertainment during evenings are not all at the same standard. Some were quite poor some were great. The noise during the performance is too loud for those rooms facing the bar area. For someone with kids it’s not recommended to be allocated rooms around the bar area. The dinner prince 35 eur is high for the quality they provide. Some more coffee and water in the rooms please
The staff are friendly and hard working. The breakfast is delicious The location is incredible as you get to choose your comfort level by the swimming pool or by the beach.

RomaniaI did not like the rocky sea, quite dangerous to go on those steps. My husband actually felt on them and had a bad injury. No medical assistance existed on the resort. At such size of the resort a minimum assistance should exist and also a doctor on call.
The beach was ok, however we enjoyed more the pool site. The restaurant had a great variety of food and drinks. Nice international atmosphere!

United StatesThe dinner option was horrible. Without buying a full package meal, we were made to wait until all the buyers were finished (they weren’t) and weren’t allowed to start our dinner until 8:30. At first, the dining was difficult to find, and once there the only thing available was a crowded noisy self serve buffet dinner. We had been looking forward to a sit down meal at an earlier time, as we were exhausted from almost 30 hours of traveling. The property itself was great, but being made to wait to dine left us feeling disappointed and unhappy.
Beach access, chairs, umbrellas, grounds, bike rental availability, room. This was a beautiful place and wasn’t crowded. The food was tasty and well presented. Staff was helpful and great at serving coffee or drinks. The outside seating was lovely.

CanadaThe restaurant options were weak. Either Buffet or nothing. The a la cart was only available two nights a week and we couldn't eat either nights. The hotel shuttle to town (7 minutes away) had limited return times at night (blackout between 7:30-11:30pm). Access to the water is not sandy, but very rocky- be prepared.
The overall aesthetics of the property are amazing with great views of the Adriatic Sea. A very expansive property, large beachfront with lots of beach chairs and beds as well a secondary private area as well. The property seems to have domesticated a handful of super-cute rabbits/hares that are people-friendly. Nice plants and trees adorn the property. The bed was comfortable. Loved taking Tuk-Tuks back from Polignano a Mare - lots of fun.
