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.).

AustraliaThe cost of this hotel is over priced for the facilities it has. Very very outdated. Also the kids club was in another hotel 10min walk away. In the heat with kids is not ideal. Also was only open limited times and very bare minimum resources for a kids club. I would not send my kids there . Also the pool bar did not serve any food or snacks unless you had all inclusive. We were invited in once for the all inclusive, and the food was cold and very limited and we were first in when it opened. So glad I didn’t pay the for full inclusive as it’s not worth the money.
My kids loved the pool. However people would put towels on the sun beds and no one insight for 1.5-2 hrs. The location was good . 5 min alway to the stop, and about 10min uber or hold to old town. Bigger supermarkets like Aldi is a 5 min drive or you can walk it there.

LithuaniaThe hotel itself could use some maintenance. Our room was okay, but nothing special – a few things were broken and could use fixing. Also, the main restaurant in the hotel is quite small, so at busy times it was hard to find a table and we had to wait. However, we were able to eat at the larger restaurant in the nearby hotel, just a few minutes away, which helped make up for this issue.
The swimming pool was the highlight – very large, with a 3-meter deep jumping area, and plenty of space to relax around it. The ocean view was also amazing. We really enjoyed the cocktails and beer – unlike many all-inclusive places where drinks are weak, here you can actually taste the alcohol, and the quality was noticeably better. The food was better than expected. We had read some negative reviews about limited options and poor quality, but we didn’t find that to be true. While the food in the main restaurant could be a bit cold at times, there was a good variety. What’s even better is that every day you have access to different themed restaurants (like sushi, Italian, and more) in the nearby sister hotels. The food there was wonderful and definitely a big plus.

United KingdomGetting messaging from the hotel about having all of these amazing restaurants at the property was boarding on false advertising. Also from the pictures it looks as though the beach is part of the property which it isn’t. Very disappointing that we couldn’t use any of the additional restaurants offsite at sister hotels as we were told we need to book a week in advance… The trouble with that is we were only staying for three nights so where we were sold the dream, the reality was there was no room at the inn!!! This absolutely spoilt the surprise for my girlfriend‘s birthday, but we managed to go to a local steak house instead but paid for the pleasure! One final point was around the fact that I asked for a balcony upfront… What we were promised was something better than balcony, our own patio area. What they failed to tell us is it was the direct walkway to get to the beach and the aqua bar where the swimming pool was… This meant that we were completely overlooked and often ‘stared at’ by the many passers by, if we wanted to sit outside! This made us feel very over-baring when we just come here for some peace and quiet.
Actually really liked the property overall, although in areas it did look quite tired and dated. There’s obviously been a lot of put into the design and the look of feel of the property overall. The room itself was of very high quality, if not a bit lacking in more wardrobe space to unpack.

SpainThe problem was when we arrived the toilet was not working in the room. There were too many stairs, everywhere with very few ramps. My mother (+70yr old) found it difficult to walk up and down the stairs to get to the breakfast, lunch and dinner - it did not help that our room was on the 6th floor. After a a lift journey, ramp and another lift to get to our meals. Even the swimming pools had stairs everywhere and no ramps. For the last two days of our stay the lift one of the lifts were not working. Another door, we used to had a huge crack and was actually quite dangerous with children around. Generally, the rooms were not exactly 4 star, I would say the beds were too high and the installations were worn.
We enjoyed the pools and fitness room. The staff was very friendly.

United KingdomThe dishwasher was not clean, it needed to have more salt added and to be deep cleaned as all our dished needed to be hand washed after coming out dirty. We were on basically the top floor, and the flats below were very loud during the night, with shouting and doors slamming from 12am to 4am. The area was nice, but it was a very nightlife area so wasn’t ideal for us considering we were travelling as a family with kids. Also, the table only had 4 seats, even though the flat could be booked for 6.
The facilities in the room were good, with a full kitchen, good sized rooms, perfect for our family size of 5. The flat itself was very pretty, with minor wear and tear. The view was amazing, and the flat was clean and very nice. Staff were very kind and helpful. Pool area was very pretty, just very cold because its was the end of May.

We were met at the hotel by Barbara, the most friendly and welcoming staff member at Reception. Barbara genuinely empathised with our situation and immediately made us feel safe and secure. we can't thank you enough, you are such a wonderful person. THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️ Our rooms were clean and tidy, the pool was large and plenty of beds, the beach at the hotel was stunning! Location was fab, right beside the new town strip and less than 5euro uber to the old town.

United KingdomThe facilities weren't great. The food was ok but nothing special and quite samey. We couldn't book into the Al a carte most of the time as they were fully booked. We did get a cancellation for the seamoon piri piri restaurant which only had a handful of tables in so I was unsure why it it was fully booked. The oura sea view is a nice hotel, if a little tired in areas. The problem is that some of the facilities you can use (like Jacs, the main buffet restaurant) are not as nice. It didn't feel like we were staying in a 5 star hotel. It was more like a 3 star.
The room was lovely. We were upgraded to a premium room which was a nice one bed apartment.

In this apartment was better but is where the clothes rack was broken and sofas still very worn and old so put blankets on top. The TV in this room had issues with the volume as maybe on its way out! A drunken man banged on our door for 4 hours all night and we could not get through to reception as nobody was answering and eventually when we got through just before I was about to phone the police he answered and he got security out to help the drunk man to his room as he was lost.
