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's a little bit small, probably not the ideal location for multiple nights, but as a place to stay while visiting the restaurant it is ideal
It was a lovely room with a good view of the harbour and literally a stones throw from the restaurant, which was the reason we stayed.

United KingdomParking arrangements. It says parking is available but this is not the case. You can park for free near the hotel/restaurant between 18:00 pm and 08:30 am. However I took the advise from the hotel staff to park in the NPC car park opposite the restaurant. The fee for this is £20,- ! Not amused
Excellent breakfast !

FranceTiny thimble like cups (give us mugs!) and huge kettle that can't be filled from tap, absolutely tiny sink and very tight bathroom which doesn't drain well when using shower. Nowhere to put clothes, not one drawer or storage, just two hangers. No mini fridge and no chair or desk. This is a bed in a room. I felt a lack of privacy too due to so many windows with people walking by and houses closeby opposite.
Lovely decor and comfy bed, lots of coffee and tea. Very clean and tidy. Milk supplied, the breakfast was absolutely superb

United KingdomBathroom door did not shut, basin was very low and glass shelf made it a bit hard to use. Lights were not all working and rooms generally were a bit too dark at times.
Convenient location, lovely bed linen/towels and tea /coffee facilities. Breakfast was amazing, lovely food and fabulous service. Staff very responsive to turning up heating when needed as weather was very changeable and helping with other arrangements.

United KingdomA slight issue that probably was our issue really. We live in a very rural position.. The sound of bin lorrys early in the morning and fish market . Was a little surprising.. I didn't know ice being scraped could be so loud ! How ever we did see the funny side . Especially when the seagulls started to scream 😱
Couldn't find any fault with rooms and food. All very good. Great staff. Loved the tom juice and vodka In room. Spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed.

Staff are very jolly and have time for a natter. Room was small, but we knew that when we booked. Shower is more of a wet room and everywhere gets soaked. Ideal for 2 nights.
