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 KingdomIn the booking there was air conditioning included for every room but only had 2 fans out of four needed. The cleaning of the outdoor benches was not good and the Wi-Fi was only in the lounge which did not work and if it did it was extremely slow. Also the staff was not quite nice.
It had a nice location and the car park was free.

United KingdomThe entrance to hotel is very dark, it needs brightening up. A lot of areas are very dated, it needs a good refurbishment. The room (63) was very basic, and had no cold water to the sink and no hot water to sink or shower before 7am. It would be nice if they offered a breakfast option.
The location is good, close to the front. Car parking is free.

United KingdomThe hotel was very dated. My Daughter's family room was smelly and upon opening drawers there was a moldy sandwich and moldy oranges left in there. They got moved to a better room but the tv didn't work and when you have a child with you they want to watch tv in the room. The towels were dirty. Yet another complaint to reception. They gave my daughter clean towels and another tv which she had to take to the room herself and tune in but it still didn't work so gave up on that one.
The location was perfect, very close to sea front.

United KingdomI don't believe the room had been cleaned ! It definatley needs improving. Although it didn't cost a lot to stay for the night . The cups were stuck on the saucers no milk or sugar just 2 sachets of coffee and tea left still water in the kettle couldn't fill kettle very well. The bathroom looked like it had been renovated but it was still not clean there was hairs in the bed. If this hotel was on 4 in the bed they would have confirmed it !

United KingdomHotel really needs upgrading. Lots of work needed to the rooms. Bathroom was very small, had to navigate around the hand basin to sit on the toilet. The toilet flush was broken and the shower was stained with mold. Shower only big enough for a child or small adult, I couldn't get into it. The bed was old and made so much noise I thought it was going to break every time I moved. Tea and coffee provided in the room but cups we're stuck to the saucers had to try and wash them before use and there were no teaspoons. Lounge was closed and dining room closed.
Good location close to the sea front.
