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 KingdomShame that none of the facilities were available! No bar, restaurant, pool etc. Not sure when the outdoor pool was last in use, the indoor pool was also out of order so we were told we could use another hotel's facilities during out stay. We did on 1 occasion but it was a bit inconvenient as a good 15 min walk away (rather than just nipping downstairs). The outdoor pool was lovely and warm, but quite tired and not ideal when cold outside. The indoor pool again a bit tired and the water was cold!
The location was fab, great room size and good cooked breakfast

United KingdomIt's an older hotel and shows signs of wear. The pool and hot tub are adequate, but in need of some tlc. The changing rooms need a bench or similar, so things don't have to be put on the wet floor.
Cooked breakfast was delicious. All the staff are a credit to the hospitality industry, being very friendly and welcoming. Bedroom was huge and always plenty of hot water for a shower.

United KingdomBar and restaurant were both closed due to staff shortages which was a pity, but it did not detract from the stay. We had a heatwave while we were there and the bedroom did get very hot - no air conditioning but that is to be expected I guess in a Victorian building. A fan was supplied which did help!
Good breakfast, friendly staff, comfortable room with large bed and plenty of storage, named carparking space. Lovely Victorian hotel close to the sea front, and the town centre was only a 10-15 minute walk. Hotel was also very quiet.

United KingdomIt is run down a little and could do with fixing some maintenance issues, looks as if owners are fed up of spending money on the place and are happy to take money of customers without ploughing more money in to continue its sustainability.
Good Service, Food, Location, Old Building but very nice and homely atmosphere.

United KingdomBooked this hotel as it had bar, restaurant and outdoor pool, only to be told not long before we went that they were all closed. Car parking was rip off at £10 per night, should be in the price or at least cheaper price, premier inn was £3.50 per night. Very tight bays too which caused a few issues with space
Location was ideal, close to beach and only few minutes walk to the harbour. Room was good size with large bathroom. Breakfast wasn’t too bad, standard full English

United KingdomNo lift (even though we were on 'ground' floor), and too many stairs to drag heavy suitcase up and down, not a problem if you traveled light. TV (though flatpanel LCD) needs a refresh, it must be from the previous decade!
Room was decent sized, large bathroom, good amenities. Even had a safe, but I think one too many wardrobe/drawers, but not a drawback. Having my name on the designated parking spot is a very nice touch I don't believe I've ever seen before. Liked the 'tailor made' breakfast that must be ordered
