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 KingdomToo hot and stuffy, despite the air conditioning. I hated that you can't open any of the windows - it felt very claustraphobic at times.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit of a bun fight around 9 to half past with lots of people and not enough tables. Staff were excellent though. If you go early or after half nine it was a lot less busy. Never had a dedicated barman ,staff were filling in and cocktails were a bit random. No baileys at the bar!!
Position was ideal for visiting restaurants and pubs. Staff were cheerful and helpful. Hotel spotlessly clean.

United KingdomHad to eat elsewhere as there was a coach party in. Luckily there was a pub 2 doors down that could serve us and had some enjoyable live music. The staff although efficient could have been more friendly.
Visited for a trip away with my mother. This was a great location next to the beach and easy to access restaurants and the Steam Train. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The room was quiet and had a great view of the pier. Breakfast was very tasty and the ingredients were a good quality.

United KingdomThe carpet in the bedroom was appalling. I now understand why previous reviews said it was threadbare and stained. Whoever chose it and Whoever designed it should be forced to live with it in their homes. Surly/ borderline rude breakfast staff, special mention for the girl with the bright orange hair. Her attitude was dreadful. (Breakfast however was good).Food in restaurant expensive, and in my opinion extremely overpriced.
Very comfortable beds. Nice pillows. Lovely young lady called Bethany behind the bar. Good location. Helpful receptionists. Other staff generally pleasant and helpful. Good choice at breakfast, which was included in the stay.
