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 KingdomParking can be a little awkward but I didn't have any problems during our 11 night stay. Public parking on the Esplanade is £1.00 from 6pm to 10am.
Excellent location. Staff very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomCar parking is a bit awkward, with other cars boxing you in. We were boxed in the evening before we were due to catch a ferry home and so asked the hotel to ask that guest to move their car, so we could get out and park in an 'open' bay overnight. I have to say, the system worked and the car was moved very quickly, but for the system to work perfectly, every guest would have to let reception know where they would be every minute of the day! The other disappointment was that you couldn't book just breakfast or dinner, but had to book both as a package. We like to vary where we eat.
Lovely room with balcony overlooking the beach. Beautiful bathroom.

United KingdomWe didn't want full board as we wanted to sample some of the wonderful eating places around the area. We did plan to have a few evening meals in the hotel and a few breakfasts but when we tried to book for our 37th anniversary we where informed that if we didn't take the offer that was on of breakfast and evening meal every day then we would not be able to eat in the hotel. This seems such a mean and foolish rule as the hotel must be loosing out on many people who, like us, would have eaten in on a number of occasions. Also we found out that tea and coffee was not included in the breakfast which is something we have never heard of before. These rules dampened our stay.
The room was perfect and the sea view was stunning. It was a little bit awkward when someone was on the balcony next to ours as all that separated it was a plastic chain so you had no privacy at all. The bathroom and shower was really spacious and powerful.

IndiaNoisy room led to some disturbances. Also would have preferred a later breakfast since the scheduled time was too early for a vacation stay. Beach facing rooms were booked which is understandable considering long weekend
The room was good but right next to the stairs which made it quite noisy. When requested to change the room, we were told that others might be noisier
