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 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):
- 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.).

The main door on the main floor units needs a better seal. You could see daylight around the closed door adding to the exterior road noise.
It was located right on the main road, beside a golf course and the gardens are beautiful! The rooms are well appointed and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

- The tub-shower combos are a ridiculous design and borderline dangerous for all, but the most agile/young guests. - There were plenty of empty rooms during our stay, yet we got placed right next to a group of teenagers who appeared to be there for a tournament.
- New decor is lovely - Beds are comfortable - Having a restaurant on site is convenient - The grounds are pretty & well-kept

Would have been nice to have a simple breakfast included. Felt the facility was a little overpriced versus quality of the room and overall property.
Very clean, staff were pleasant and accommodating. Fairly good location close to cafes and restaurants. Good on site pub/restaurant. Secure facility for parking.

A restaurant that served breakfast. Or better yet, breakfast included.
We had a room with two exits. One to access our vehicle out front in the parking lot and the other, to a cute little outdoor patio facing the courtyard. From there we enjoyed the heated pool and loungers, and hot tub. The only place in town that had their water already in their outdoor pool. Great because it was a super hot day.

Breakfast is not provided and resto associated with hotel opens only at 11 am. A room microwave oven would be appreciated. Ask for rooms close to elevators if there are mobility problems.
Newer facilities with gated parking, huge bathtub, good sized balcony and refrigerator. Beds are very comfortable. Quiet.

The only thing I didn’t like was the coffee setup in the room. Coffee was undrinkable. Decent coffee and cream things in the fridge would be a big improvement.
Nice room, very clean, comfortable bed, on the quiet side of the building. Reasonably priced and lovely staff!

Everything was very good and my only comment was that the gate system to park could be much better designed and convenient.
Enjoyed a facility built quite awhile ago, so room size and bathroom were larger than newer hotels. Everything was up to date and beds were exceptionally comfortable. Rooms were excellent. An added benefit was the attached pub that had excellent staff, food and value for dollar.

The gate by the pool and restaurant into the property was broken so it defeated the purpose of the secure parking gates. It’s under renovation so hard to judge. Pool is only seasonal but did have a working hot tub.
The location to the arena was great. It wasn’t a far walk to the water either. Lots of places to walk to near by. It had a nice hot tub. Restaurant attached had the best potato skins and a delicious margarita.
