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 KingdomQuite expensive and hidden charges for children staying in room. Don't get how you can book 2 adults and a child on either hotel web site or booking.com. Then get charged extra for child on arrival.
Lovely old hotel with a modest face lift. Comfortable and nice restaurant. Hotel looks onto sea and on a nice day it would a perfect position.

United KingdomOne of the rooms looked out onto quite a close building but the window was lovely and big which helped. The shower temperature setting was very hard to get right for us - either very hot or cold - but we did manage to get it comfortable with minute adjustments!
Rooms were comfortable and quite spacious. View out of one of two rooms was pleasant looking over the roof tops to the fields beyond even though it wasn’t a sea view. Staff were efficient, polite and friendly. Good breakfast selection in the restaurant with views out to the sea.

United KingdomThere were a couple of things which disappointed us. On our first eveing the persons in the room opposite ours left a dog unattended in the room while they went to dinner. The dog barked incessantly but when we rang to reception to complain, we were told the owners were having dinner in the restaurant and they were not prepared to ask them to return to their room. Second, we had one dinner in the Seafood Grill and three breakfasts and we thought the food was only average and at times the service frustrating.
The room which was a Superior Double with Sea view was excellent with a lovely outlook. The room was spacious and well furnished.

United KingdomThe bar lacked atmosphere. The breakfast was poor, the usual pre cooked plated up stuff, our order was lost as everybody was served around us, people who’d turned up twenty minutes after us were finished before we got ours, when I asked the waitress about this her reply was “ we are really busy”. After this, still no breakfast so I asked the waiter who had took the order and he sorted it eventually
The South African guy running the evening restaurant and his staff were superb. Our room was perfect. Great little town.

United KingdomThe restaurant had very poor vegetarian choices and the staff even said they needed to up their game regarding this. My partner enjoyed her fish meal but sadly, the vegetarian meal was poor with dried and burnt vegetables and looked like it had been left under a heat lamp all day. There wasn’t another choice apart from a risotto which is pretty lazy for a hotel with a chef. Sadly, the breakfast had to be returned as it was not cooked as i had asked the waiter (snotty eggs are not good at the best of times) The food is way overpriced and I will not be eating there again. We booked a superior room with a sea view,. The room was nice clean and spacious but one of the windows was obstructed by a brick balcony, and the other had a high windowsill so you had to stand to see the beach, waves etc. (see photos) Not what i would call a superior sea view, considering the price paid.
Good location. Clean. Spacious room. Welcoming and polite staff.
