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.).

United KingdomBeds very uncomfortable, not very clean, toiletries very low in quantity and quality given this is a four star hotel. Breakfast was available but it was cheap. This hotel very popular with groups visiting for the nightclubs, and they brought their speaker to the poolside and loudly played their music and the staff did nothing to ask them to turn it off or turn it down. Regarding breakfast - juices don’t taste very good, the eggs are soggy, water pressure is poor, generally not a great experience all round.

United KingdomWe didn't realise that parts of the hotel were still under construction, so being woken up to drilling and banging at 7am wasn't what we were expecting. Otherwise, things like the hot water valve not being turned on when we checked into our room and have to call 3 times for someone to finally come and sort it was a bit annoying. Luckily, we were only there for 1 night and proceeded to our next hotel, which was more accommodating.
Love that it was a new hotel and it was close to the action.

United KingdomFacilities were poor. Rooms were average. And breakfast was okay. I would book the deluxe double as opposed to the superior. Even though it’s cheaper it is in the main building and from visual it looked better
We booked the superior room and were told on arrival this is in another building as part of the new rooms the hotel has. However the shower had black mould all over the seals and toilet roll holder was broken. These were fixed after 2 days. The rooms were advertised as a four star but I would say this is more 3 star. Parking is readily available on side streets near the hotel. Breakfast was fine.

United Kingdommy experience was far from pleasant. Upon arrival late at night, the check-in process was delayed due to payment issues, which was frustrating after a long journey. The room itself had several problems. The air conditioning was not functioning properly, and the noise from the street outside was disruptive, making it difficult to sleep. Most mornings around 5am there was loud noise from refuse collection. Additionally, the fridge in the room was not cooling; I was informed that it wasn't a fridge but a cooler, which was misleading. In contrast, the next hotel I stayed at had the same appliance, but it was actually cold. There was no iron in the room, and when I requested one, I was given a broken iron. The ironing board provided was old and unsafe to use. The decor of the room was poor. The feature wall was patchy and looked rushed. The was no seating in my room despite the pictures and description provided when booking. The decor in the rest of the hotel was poor and in places looked unfinished. On a positive note, the staff were lovely and helpful, which was the only redeeming aspect of my stay. However, I did give up trying to communicate my issues and left to stay elsewhere on the island for a couple of nights Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of the room and the amenities provided. I would not recommend this hotel to others seeking a comfortable and restful stay.
The staff were lovely. Good breakfast selection.

United KingdomWe were put in the building across the road. The walls were quite thin and you could hear the people next door sometimes. The location was okay, until the roadworks started. It then became really difficult to get to some destinations unless you got a taxi. The pool in our building was not as nice as the one in Hotel Argento (where we had actually booked) so you had to keep travelling across the road to get to it. The air conditioning would turn itself off in the middle of the night so you had to wake up at 3am and put it back on.
The staff in this hotel were beyond excellent. Everyone was friendly, the breakfast was great and the rooms were often cleaned while we were down a breakfast. If we needed anything the staff were able to normally get it for us including taxis, beach towels and a kettle. The breakfast was good and the pool above Hotel Argento was great.

BelgiumOverpriced. Noisy area with no noise insulation. Difficult to sleep at night. Air conditioning does not work. Fridge does not work. Cleaning of the room is poor and maintenance is lacking (mirror, bathroom, painting, scratches on the door, etc.) The breakfast is low quality and very looks cheap. Ham, cheese, bread, jams, are well below expectations for a 4 star hotel.
The bed. Kindness of the staff.

SloveniaThere was a lot of noise during the night, the walls are not sound isolated. We had to go to breakfast to another building, we booked the argento hotel but they put us to the connected hotel across the road. During the night a lot of people were crossing the street speaking loudly directly in front of our balcony/room. And the street is actually a construction job site, the workes started with the noise already early in the morning. In the room there was a lot of smell, don’t know where it came from.

GreeceThe room's bathroom had an awful smell of mold probably because (as we found out later) the bathtub was leaking to the floor which weirdly enough had no way to get rid of the water. The assumption is that underneath the laminated floor the old one was rotting. Leaving the bathroom window open for 3 days kinda of fixed it but it was unacceptable. Apart from that the general state of the room was subpar, especially for the (supposed) 4 stars and the price paid for Malta. Examples of it being: no outlets anywhere near the bed (there were ~2 in the room on the other side), bed frame with carved holes (photo included) on it, a curtain with a hole (photos included), a rotted away bath mirror (photo), door etc, walls with weird over paints (probably bad fixes for something), no real sound proofing for both outside to inside noises and in-between the rooms, toilet flush that barely worked, a mattress cover that was probably smaller that it should making it "travel" underneath you during the sleep, a fridge with the bottle holders missing etc. The pool was mediocre. The room view was subpar (in comparison to hotels nearby). There was no escalator to the (underground) entrance of the hotel (but there was one to the floors afterwards). The TV in the room was straight out of 00s. After the room was cleaned the bottom bed sheet was still messed up (photo included). We found some mold on a cheese stick on our breakfast. Cheese that should not have mold (photos included).
The staff was super nice and helpful and the breakfast had quite some options for many tastes. They would give you some instant coffee in the room which I like.

PolandPros: if you exclude mould on the silicone place was very clean, very well located and the staff was very nice. Cons: Someone was drilling at 10am very near to my room. I can forgive average breakfast and only austrian channels in TV, but hearing renovation work a few meters away in the morning defeats the purpose of going on a holiday. Moreover there was a huge water leak on my floor the next day, so I had to get up at 7am on saturday to allow the staff to check the bathroom. Even though I got another room and the staff was very professional I can't call this a good holiday experience.
