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 KingdomWe stayed in a standard room which was fine but could do with some TLC. But actually that didn’t matter too much as the whole place has a special magic going on.
The location, relaxed vibe and unashamed quirkiness. It’s a one-off. Recommend breakfast on the terrace if the sun is shining - and walking through the garden to the beach. Staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome. Also, the best hotel book collection I’ve ever seen.

United KingdomHonesty bar was empty most times so no atmosphere and we didn't use it.
Nice, quiet homeley. Lovely garden although poor weather prevented us making full use of it. Lovely walk to beach. Excellent breakfast. Wendy, who served us, was very nice and efficient. Loved all the paintings around the hotel and in the room. General decor was good too. Nice comfortable lounge with chess set (set up), library and board games for evenings and rainy days.

United KingdomNot enough shelf space for clothing if staying a week. The car park was a worry too there were 17 rooms but only about enough room for around 9 or 10 spaces so if you went out in the evening you had to worry about whether you got a space or not. If someone had a 4 x 4 then they took up more than their space.
Our room was clean and well maintained but very little space to put clothing away if staying for a week like we were. You really have to get on well with your partner as I'd describe the room as cosy! The bed was lovely and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and served by a very polite friendly staff member. It was well cooked although the portions were a little measured at times i.e. the fresh fruit starter! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is in an excellent position in the old village with only a few minutes walk to the sea front. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble - and a very good breakfast is served. The gardens are beautifully kept and very peaceful.
