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 KingdomWhen we arrived at the hotel, we were told that we need to pay a deposit directly to the hotel (can’t pay it via bookings.com). This was not included in the booking info, so it seemed a bit dodgy and the hotel has a policy for extra charges (e.g. lose key cards, cleaning services - all extra). We managed to get all deposit back at the end, so it was fine although it’d be better if we could know about the deposit in advance .
The apartment is well equipped with everything you need, including kitchen, washing machine, and a small table if you need to work (we did). Location is good, about 10 mins to the beach. Room is reasonably tidy and quiet.

United KingdomNo car park/dedicated parking space so we had to park on the road in front of the hotel or around the corner. The wifi signal wasn't great in our room (able to connect when sat by the dining table but not when on bed). The double bed was too small/short for my partner who's 6 ft 4. As we were on the third (topmost) floor, the seagulls' noises were too loud for us especially early in the morning.
Good location (short walk to the beach, pier and restaurants); friendly staff at reception; very clean room with modern amenities (a smart TV, fully functional small kitchen, nice bathroom/shower with LED mirror, loads of electrical outlets with USB ports).

United KingdomA few little things could be improved on. Making sure the soap dispenser in the shower/toilet was empty and refilled same as the shower dispenser. Only one roll of toilet roll for a family of four. We know we could’ve asked for more but that’s not the point. The reading light over one of the beds didn’t work and was coming away from the wall. As the floor were not carpeted maybe a small stand up dust pan and brush would be helpful especially when staying with child. We personally like to keep where we stay nice and tidy as it’s respectful.
Very friendly staff nice and clean and in a great location

United KingdomThe bathroom door was abit too stiff to close and the door wasn’t that sound proof so felt like people could hear in that wound be walking around. The lift was out of order if that’s an issue but wasn’t for our stay. Also had to pay a deposits when we got there but was quickly returned so wasn’t an issue.
I liked this hotel for being right near the beach , a 2 minute walk to get there was a highlight. Also the fact that it had a kitchen as well as a double bed and clean bathroom. Also no one interrupted our stay which made it peaceful and didn’t feel unsafe.

United KingdomFaulty air conditioner
The hotel is well located and the beds were confortable. The staff was very professional, helpful and friendly. I stayed in a room with 2 bedrooms. Sadly the air conditioning didn’t work properly and it was an extremely hot night so the room was unbearably hot. The second bedroom has a velux windows with no blinds so in summer you have the sun directly in your face until 10pm… no ideal when you want to go to bed early. Overall the room was clean but we found a couple of items dirty in the kitchen (cutlery, glass and the cheese grater) so we felt like we had to wash everything before using it.

AustraliaThere didn’t appear to be an ‘on duty’ manager present during my entire 3-day stay (or at least Nani at the reception desk was unable to identify such a person when I asked). Had a few minor maintenance issues which were quickly responded to, and the internet dropped out occasionally for anything up to 15 minutes. One small suggestion – where a washing machine is provided it would be good to provide some washing powder/liquid too. Having to buy a full bottle for a few washes is a complete waste as nobody would stay long enough to use it all up. It would be a very small expense in the overall scheme of things for the hotel and would improve the visitor experience. Be aware that it is a pet-friendly hotel, so there’s always the chance you will get a noisy neighbour! I was concerned about some reviewers sayng they never got their £75 ‘damage deposit’ back (which seems excessive by the way). I did not have an issue with this - it was 'charged' to my credit card, but not 'processed' and disappeared within the stated 14 days, so perhaps people should check their statements more carefully or, as I did, lodge a 'disputed transaction' claim with their bank. Not great customer service from management to respond to those people in the manner they did and 'ban' them just because they complained - they weren't going to be returning anyway and it's hardly likely to encourage others to visit! Perhaps they went to the Basil Fawlty school of management!
Location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the seafront and theatres, and 10 minutes to the town centre. Room 104, facing the rear of the building on the ground floor, was clean, modern, quiet and very comfortable, with almost everything I could need. The staff are very polite and try very hard to be helpful. Really enjoyed my visit and would definitely consider staying here again.

United KingdomIt would be nice to have some bigger signage with the hotel name so it’s easier to find and the green fire exit light in the room is a bit of a nuisance as it’s quite bright and the room isn’t pitch black.
Nice friendly check in staff, great little kitchen with everything included so you can easily make your own stuff, nice bathroom and beds, and very good location, walking distance to the beach and restaurants.
