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.).

BelgiumI would like a bit more variety in the gluten free food for celiacs, choosing from the GF items of the menu ( instead of only chicken, pork steak to avoid cross contamination). A better description of the room at the booking: knowing the suite configuration aheadI could have fit all the family in one suite .You could add a map of the suits, on top of the pictures in the description
there was a lot of space, minimal queue at breakfast, good food, free water (love it). Vanessa at the restaurant was always ready to help with the gluten diet of the celiac person. The biggest swimming pool had an easy access for grandparents. the 24hr swimming pools opening hours with the staff passing by with towels and juice (very appreciated)

BelgiumQuality of the Pool bar/restaurant did not match the level of the environment. Our booking did not include breakfast or dinner. Charging these expenses to the room was slightly cumbersome.
Direct access to the beach and nature. Sizeable and well equipped rooms. Very comfortable bed. Multiple swimming pools, with ample room to enjoy the water. Well maintained environment, instantly creating a holiday feeling. Very good breakfast.

United KingdomWe did not enjoy our stay as much as other places because the rooms were not cleaned thoroughly. Poor bathroom facilities, nothing was really going on in the hotel - a quite boring place. Food was not that good; poor breakfast.
It's location. It is close to the beach. Finding a parking space was not very challenging.

TurkeyThe check in and check out takes 30 minutes each, I don't know why. The staff does not speak English very well and it makes things pretty complicated, they generally do not understand your orders at the bars and restaurants. We bought a resort view rom, however we found out that the rooms was facing a public road, not the resort. Even though we asked the reception to change our room to a resort view room, they did not help us and insisted that the room was facing the resort, weird. We were given a handicapped access room with a handicapped access toilet. Don't get me wrong, it is great that the hotel has rooms for handicapped people, however since we did not need it, it was pretty strange for us to stay at that room. The breakfast was very poor, like a 2 start hotel breakfast. The place of the restaurant is like a cafeteria with a lot of echoing which makes it very uncomfortable to have your breakfast. You also are not allowed to take out your cup of coffee outside of the breakfast "cafeteria" to enjoy it somewhere else. The staff forces you to hand your cup at the exit. We somehow took out our cups and found a calm place at the lounge. Suddenly one of the staff came and forced us to hand our cups 3 times as if we are at school cafe or something. Isn't it supposed to be a relaxing place that we can enjoy our drinks at any available place at resorts? Overall our experience at this hotel was disappointing. The room descriptions are misleading and wrong. The hotel management does not help you fix the problems. I have stayed at Westin hotels before. I ensure you that this hotel does not reflect the Westin style. I will definitely will not stay at this hotel again.
The location of the facility is just amazing. Even though it doesn't have its own beach, it is pretty close to it, like 5 minutes of walking. It was disappointing that the hotel does not provide sun beds or umbrellas at the beach.

SwitzerlandThe quality of service is among the worst I have experienced in a 5-star hotel. It was clear that the hotel is new and has not allowed enough time to properly train its staff — or even to recruit qualified staff from the region. Many employees had no idea about basic service procedures; the lack of experience was obvious, and at times there was even a sense of laziness. There was no staff at the pool (neither for towels nor for lifeguard duties). Perhaps the worst was the service at the pool restaurant: the staff were inexperienced, we had to repeat our orders to three different people, and when the food finally arrived, it was both late and incorrect.
We had already stayed at the former NAU Salgados Hotel, and the renovations in the lobby and bar are indeed very nice. However, that’s pretty much the only improvement we noticed. On the contrary, we actually observed a certain level of deterioration in other aspects.

United KingdomOur shower was going from hot to cold constantly. No middle ground. Breakfast was terrible! None of the staff listen or speak English, very slow. Ourselves and 4 other families were complaining about how long they waited for their coffees 45 min! And they brought the wrong ones. Omelettes for ordered. We became scared to order things. Buffet was cold and stale. Fire alarm went off for 40 min at 4:45am. Terrible! Spa is not included. I had a deep tissue massage and it was very soft … €145, not worth it. This hotel has potential. We paid £1780 for 4 nights.
We liked the beach , the variety of swimming pools. The gym. Spacious room. Some of the staff very friendly.
