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 KingdomRooms could probably be doing with being redecorated. Continental breakfast was basic.
Arrived at the hotel on Friday afternoon for a couple of nights. Our friends were staying at a nearby caravan park. The room was small as was the bed (my husband is 6ft 2") however it was comfortable and clean and we were only in it for sleeping. The bathroom was compact but functional and the shower head although small was powerful with plenty of hot water. Bar area was lovely and modern.Entertainer on the Saturday night was fabulous. We had our breakfast in the conservatory area both mornings good choice of hot breakfast but continental was basic. The young staff who served breakfast and worked the bar in the evening were great and appeared to be happy at their work with always a smile.

United KingdomWe were 2 couples. one room was in the main hotel which was nice, with a large bed and a great shower. One room was in the attic of the Anglesey room next door, they called it the harbour view and I think it was number 1, however it had no number in the door. The mattress was dreadful, very thin with springs sticking out. The room needed a thorough overhaul, the shower was small and the door wouldn’t shut. getting the room was hazardous with bags as the ceiling above the stairs was so low. It was not good. We asked to be moved but they were full so the manager did the best she could. It would not put me off staying there again but I would check which room you are allocated before paying.
Great location overlooking the harbour in this lovely little town. The food was amazing, restaurant quality, I would highly recommend it.

Harbour House Hotel is now starting to look quite tired and could do with a refurb. However, all staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good. Dog friendly.

United KingdomAlthough the beds were a good size mine was a little uncomfortable, as I hadn't raised this as an issue until departure (thought it was my arthritis) I cant complain, I have brought it to the attention of the staff who were very apologetic and dealt with the issue in a professional manner and will raise with manager. As with many a seaside hotel some aspects of the hotel were looking tired but it seems they are in the process of sprucing up the hotel for the season, and for the price we paid this was not an issue.
The location was great, staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble even though they were very busy at times, enjoyed the breakfast and room was lovely

United KingdomHead height on staircase leading to our attic room and head height within the room. My husband is 6ft 3in and he struggled to stand up in the room and even I at 5ft 7in struggled with the stair head height and comb ceilings. We had a great stay, great food and value for money for the package we paid, but would have been nice to have been warned about these physical challenges. We would return but make sure that we had a different room next time.
Fantastic location, friendly staff, good food and overall package of accommodation and food was great value.

United KingdomDecor a bit tired. The black and white film canvasses don't really fit the theme of a seaside hotel. Shower head holder in room broken Floor uneven in room. Could have done with extra pillows. Call from staff after we got home to say we hadn't paid food and drink bill that had been charged to our room (5) but we didn't eat dinner in the hotel and the one round of drinks was paid on ordering. Staff member apologised.
