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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaHotel is built up a hillside and has various levels which can become confusing. The list of rules and regulations was excessive, and we didn't appreciate the 20€ deposit for each beach/pool towel another for barrel for safe, but obviously they've had some poorly behaved clients. The hike down to the beach was not for the unfit or disabled.
Free Parking. The sea view from the balcony. Hotel was away from the main shopping, eating area so it was quieter at night. Plenty of eateries and junk tourist shops - mostly knock-offs.

IrelandThe location - no fault of the hotels and I understood it wasn’t located in the old town , but all the hills made me dread the walk back to hotel everyday All the deposits needed , ie for towels , the safe The cost to use jacuzzi and indoor facilities expensive so we didn’t use them as a result WiFi was crap and barely worked No English channels on tv only sky news worked

United KingdomI've never stayed at a hotel with so many rules spelled out...the pool, the common areas, the towels, the hallways... It makes me wonder what kind of guests they're used to.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout (front desk, restaurant, cleaning team). Everything was neat and clean and comfortable.

IrelandA bit of a maze and multiple lifts to get to the room,
We stayed here for one night as our flight changed and our other hotel was booked up. It served its purpose. Probably better options around if staying for a week or so. Although, if you're looking for something cheap and cheerful to get the head down you'll be sorted.

IrelandI didn’t like that tea and coffee facilities were not available in the room and that you had to hire a kettle. Nor the fact that there was a cost to use the advertised gym. The main thing though was that the Wi-Fi was hit and miss, kept dropping and was slow.
The hotel team were very friendly and helpful across the board. It was great that beach towels were available for no cost. The pool area and pool we’re very well maintained.

United KingdomThe reviews complaining about having to pay for everything are a little over-the-top. I wouldn’t expect spa treatments to be included in the price unless you were paying crazy spa hotel prices (which you’re not). The two outdoor pools are brilliant so no need to use the indoor pool. Everything else you have to pay for is fairly reasonable. You get the €20 deposit back at the end of your stay for the beach towel. To be fair we don’t drink coffee so didn’t need a kettle. And we skipped the breakfast and bought ourselves pastries from a local supermarket, and just had a bigger lunch out. The only issue was the hotel being at the top of a hill, which most reviews mention, but we saw it as good exercise (and sobering up) at the end of an evening! I guess this is the price you pay for being away from the loud hustle & bustle of the old town square.
As soon as we arrived the lady at the front desk was super lovely and helpful, explaining everything we needed to know about our stay. Booking.com didn’t take any money for our stay prior to arrival, so we had to pay for the whole stay by card when we arrived, so bear this in mind when making sure you have enough money on your Monzo/in cash. Everything was spotlessly clean, if maybe a little dated. Hairdryer, air con, wifi and TV in room. Two bars of soap and two bottles of shampoo/shower gel in bathroom, which housekeeping topped up again half way through our stay. We didn’t find the bed overly hard compared to other reviews, we actually had lovely nights sleeps, the pillows too soft for my liking but I just doubled them up. We stayed in room 97 which had a lovely ground floor balcony, with table and chairs and sun lounger. Walls/ceilings are a little thin so we could hear next door chatting one evening, but I just popped some ear buds in. We were most impressed with the pool area - one large saltwater pool and one smaller, good quality sun loungers, always plenty to choose from with some in optional shade, quiet & relaxing, the pool bar and the food was also great value for money. Staff amazing. Overall, we loved our stay and would recommend to anyone! Local restaurants we’d recommend - Staar, Casa da Fonte, Bistro, Os Arcos, Jaipur, Georgina, Cafe In-certo. Sal Rosa is a lovely cocktail bar nearby.
