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.).

United KingdomAbsolutely excellent. Jamie was so accommodating with everything, from giving us a shelf in a fridge so we could store our drinks to giving us a bag of ice, it's those small things that makes you want to come back. The room as very clean, which was done every day. Masks & saniters is available from the front door & on the landings ( which is so important in these times) Breakfast was amazing always asked how we liked it cooked. I really can't fault this place. At the hotel it has a rating of 9.7..personally I think it deserves a 10.10 if I could give more I would.
The friendliness, the fact that we were made to feel so special. Its such an accommodating hotel/ bed & breakfast.

United KingdomThere was nothing I could fault with this hotel. Everything was perfect
Breakfast was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble everything cooked fresh to order . Kitchenette available with Nice a separate fridge available for each room so that we could keep things fresh. Room was one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Immaculate. We were welcomed with champagne and chocolates to make us feel special as it was our honeymoon. These little touches were much appreciated. Location was fantastic not too far from the centre and great for the quiet end of the beach. Gardens were lovely to sit in late afternoon and get the last of the sun. You can really see how the hotel got its high rating. Absolutely superb. Would def return again

The location, the staff, the cleanliness “including their Covid precautions”, their local knowledge, the room (room 1) and the breakfast they served was first class with lots of choices.

United KingdomWater pressure for the shower was poor. Whalen we spoke to the host he tried to rectify this but was unable to… guess it’s a water company problem.

United Kingdom1. We asked for a walk-in shower but this was not available, and explained before our stay. 2. The only thing we didn't like was the overwhelming aroma of the flowers (lilies) in the entrance hallway: the aroma was somewhat all pervasive and even reached our room at times.
The breakfast was exceptional in terms of choice, the way it was served and the way it was prepared. Put simply, this could not be faulted! A bottle of fizz on arrival was very kindly supplied for our 40th anniversary - a very nice touch, thank you.

United KingdomWe had a very comfortable stay, the facilities are excellent, everything is thought of to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. The breakfast was excellent and service second to none. I had couple of requests due to dietary needs that were met very obligingly. The location of the Cavendish is in a 5- 10 short walk from the beach, town, shops and restaurants. Everything was perfect for our stay.

United KingdomEverything was fantastic. The host was fab, so accommodating. The food was lovely and we were able to mix and match items on the menu. The accommodation was spotless. It was my birthday whilst we were there and my partner mentioned it in passing. When we got back that day there were banners and a balloon in our room. It’s in a really central location being both close to town and the beach. Will definitely book again.
