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 KingdomThe coffee was OK but could be much better...I believe a serve yourself machine in the dining room would offer better choice and are fairly common in other hotels these days.
Breakfast was served promptly and was very good, the staff were courteous and efficient.

United KingdomTv located elsewhere. Perhaps the owners may consider the tv on a wheeled stand.
Rooms were budget rooms and to be honest they far exceeded our expectations. Nice comfy bed and pillows . Nicely fitted out with furnishings and clean and tidy. Only drawback was the tv on the wall was adjacent to the bed which meant turning sideways to watch. But that would not be a negative and only an observation as the room was really nice and peaceful.

United KingdomWe felt rushed at breakfast, our order was taken for our cooked food, but we did not have much of a chance to get the Continental . I choose a yoghurt but had to leave it as our breakfast came out. We sat on a table of four and one toast rack was put on table which held three slices of toast. We did ask for more and it came. Our Table was being cleared while someone was still eating. Maybe these issues could be addressed. Cooked Breakfast was excellent.
Our Stay was very good. But not happy with the parking. But that would not stop us visiting again. Overall it was a good stay.

United KingdomSlight confusion when I was woken by room service at 9:20 on the Sunday as they were told my room had been vacated, apparently. To which I responded with no, I have until 11am to check out. But I decided to leave a little earlier as I was up anyway...otherwise all good. Just a little misunderstanding.
Perfect location, friendly staff. The room was an excellent size, clean with a nice decor. I'd definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe room was tired and needed refurbishing, furniture was old and chipped. The bathroom gave us the option of either boiling water or cold water and it was hard to get something in the middle for a comfortable shower. The bed was very uncomfortable.
the view from our room was beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fresh and nicely served. Comfortable bar. In a good location for town and beach.
