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 KingdomJust a couple of minor things, There is a mirror in the bathroom that is metal, its rusty and hangs off the wall at an angle its poor quality for a quality room. We had dinner one night, batter on the fish was solid and steak (albeit Bravetta) was really tough.
This is a Pub (a lovely pub) with a hotel on top of it. The location is great for wandering around the beach and walking the coastal path. Lots of good things about this place. Breakfast is really good The room is great (could do with a bit more of a dust - but nothing drastic) The bed the shower the comfy chairs it's a lovely spot and a great place. Also its a very good pub, staff are helpful friendly and generate a nice atmosphere

United KingdomI should have arrived at the hotel earlier and stayed longer.
We had lunch and breakfast the next day, both were excellent as was the room, the service, then people and the facility. I have already arranged a return trip next month with my grown up sons and their partners.

United KingdomDifferent check in times quoted in different places online. Our room didn't have coffee pods! And despite having paid for the room on arrival, the system didn't have a record of it at checkout. BUT... the staff were brilliant and sorted everything.
Very welcoming. Quirky, unique bedrooms. Fabulous food. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Great garden for the summer. Really unusual mini bar and treats.

United KingdomThe bar and restaurant were seriously understaffed on Saturday evening. The 2 staff that seemed to be running everything were working incredibly hard and I felt sorry for them. There were long waits for service. The hotel needs to employ more staff in busy periods
Everything was absolutely gorgeous, the room was super luxurious and it was a real treat
