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 StatesNothing.
The staff was very very helpful. They gave us a room with an excellent view along the Esplanade. The breakfast was really good. We also liked that it was shoulder season and had fewer people. It was really nice walking into town and along the coastal trail.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit unimaginative but I think they were appealing to their core customer who is generally quite elderly and this may suit them. On my first morning a lady tried to come and clean my room at 8.40am! I put the Do not Disturb sign on the room at night and then it was fine - but I felt that was a bit early to expect a guest to be out of their room.
Lovely single room with sea view and small balcony. The hotel felt as if it had recently been refurbished - or was just exceptionally clean and bright! All the staff were very friendly and efficient. Nice bar with reasonably priced drinks. Great location on the front and very handy for the main bus stops.

United KingdomWould have been nice if the Hotel had a car park or discounted parking in the car park next door. But not too much of a problem.
Hotel in excellent position overlooking the sea. Comfortable rooms with a walk in shower in the Bathroom. Cheerful helpful staff. Breakfast freshly cooked to order making a pleasant change to a help yourself buffet.

Warm welcome on arrival. Excellent Breakfast and very good dinner. Super staff in dining room and bar. really friendly and helpful. I was upgraded to a double room which had a balcony overlooking the sea. The bed was really comfortable. Small but good shower room. All the staff are lovely.

United KingdomWe stayed in this hotel over New Year. We have two 12 year old children and my 80 year old mum also joined us. All of us loved staying in this hotel and hope to visit again in future The hotel staff were all genuinely lovely. They could not have been more welcoming or friendly. The rooms were spotless and had lovely sea views. We requested that my mum be placed right next to one of our rooms and the hotel was able to accommodate this. Breakfast was really good. The hotel is right by the beach. The town centre is within easy walking distance, but just far enough away to be quiet at night . There are some great restaurants neaby.
