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 reviewhad a great stay at this hotel! The pool staff and restaurant staff were both excellent—very friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was delicious with a good variety of options, and the bar offered a nice selection of drinks in a relaxed setting. The location is another big plus, right by the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and sea without any hassle. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good service, tasty food, and a beachside location.
There was a bit of a delay during check-in, but everything else made up for it.

Verified reviewLocation, access to beach, spacious areas
Most of the staff was new and didn’t really know how to handle the customers. They had a good attitude but was poorly trained.

Verified reviewGreat location. The food, both a'la carte as well as the breakfast buffet, were fantastic. Staff, specially the restaurant staff, were very helpful.
The room was not clean enough and was not a well-maintained one. The walls had wet patches; there were cobwebs on the ceiling. The room telephone did not work.

Verified reviewIncludes buffet breakfast. Quiet stay, like a retreat house. (But hardly any beach vibe if this is what you're looking for) Secured property both on the railroad side (high gate and walls) and beach side (fence) as people are almost always waiting outside to offer/sell products and transpo services, though it also gives a negative, heavy feeling to it.
The beach in front was so inclined so it wasnt conducive for a lot of things that you can do on a wide beach. The price for the NYE gala dinner (50usd per adult) wasnt also indicated in the rate prior to booking then we also had no choice but to avail of it even if we didnt want to. Lastly, the bathroom also emitted a bad smell (it seems likenits coming out of the drain. Reported it but wasnt solved. Our room balcony was mostly facing the wall and partly the lawn area. Lounge beds facing the beach are all just within the property fence instead of the actual beach (either no space on the beach and maybe not safe. The mini pageant for the NYE queen during the gala also seemed to be inappropriate and unnecessary.
