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 KingdomIt was supposed to have been a "superior " twin, yet there wasn't a proper shower and no shower curtain. Very small room BUT beautiful sea view! The lift extremely cramped...very claustrophobic so used stairs to 3rd floor. Great location. Near front and shops. Managed parking outside hotel...a bonus.

United KingdomThe information about parking fee was incorrect. Seagulls noise. Noise from the kitchen equipment through out the night. Furniture and decorations need a facelift.
Ideal positioning for checking out the beach. Was almost next door to my relatives whom I was meeting. Friendly staff and generally clean and tidy.

United KingdomAs above. The shower room.
Given the fact that the hotel was obviously an old building I was surprised by the standard of decoration. My room was a little small but had everything I needed and I only stayed for one night anyway. I couldn't get the TV to work but it didn't bother me. The shower room was again adequate although the shower head was too high for me so found it difficult. Generally the room and shower was clean and comfortable although I think in need of a little attention decoratively. Given the price I paid I was more than happy.

United KingdomThe duvet in the room was heavy and the room was extremely hot, there was no fan or anything. The bathroom was old and the toiletries only had a hand soap and a pouch of shower gel, no shampoo, no conditioner, no hairdryer. There's no late check out The lift is old, small and a bit tricky
The staff was really friendly. The location is amazing, right next to the beach. There was tea, coffee, milk and sugar in the room along with a little kettle. I was leaving late and they let me leave my suitcase with them during the day

United KingdomThe shower head needs replacing as it leaks. Easy to fix and resolve.
Exterior of the building was fabulous and attracted us to go in and take a look. Well maintained and very clean. Superior twin room front facing - very clean, bed comfortable and clean crisp linen. Bathroom was big with a separate bath and walk in shower. Newly painted, carpets clean and look new. Overall happy as good location to spend day on beach and come back for a shower and comfy bed. Parking only £1 for a day. Some hotels charge up to £10 for same thing. Plenty of spaces right outside hotel.

We didn’t realise the hotel hosting mainly elderly people - we felt spent a few day in a home care… Staff wasn’t friendly, kept us wait… not clear about car parking as we were sure there was a car park for guests.. It doesn’t worth £95 for a night..
