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 KingdomThis was our 4th visit to the hotel so you know we like it but this time we stayed in a older part of the hotel. It was roomy and quiet as we were at the rear but that meant it was dark. It had creaky floor board. The bathroom needed a revamp. It was slightly damp smelling too.
Thhe Location on the seafront and central is wonderful. Staff are very good. Lovely breakfasts.and in the modern part of the hotel fab bathrooms. Some parking at the hotel otherwise voucher for local car park. Bonus next door to a theatre.

United KingdomBath had hairs in it, presumably from last person using it! Hairdryer brilliant but had hair from other users. Reception and corridors scruffy and drab. Soap not replaced when requested.
Wonderful location. Friendly staff. Great sea view. I really liked the terrace at the front of the hotel. Lovely for sitting out to have breakfast or a drink in the evening

United KingdomUnfortunately on our visit the main lift was out of order and we had to use the small service lift. The evening menu was very limited for choice, and the food was just about Ok. The biggest down side was the noise from the main road out side our window, which was deafening at lot of the time so we slept with the doors and windows closed, a shame really as this will deter us from returning.
It was clean and tidy although could do with. Little TLC in places. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating.

United KingdomThe blind in our room was broken and couldn’t be lifted to let in the light, and to take advantage of the sea view. Some of the items on the dining menu seemed a bit dry and could be improved by adding a sauce; e.g. confit duck leg would benefit from a duck gravy, or a Sharp and fruity sauce (maybe orange, cherry or plum?)
Seafront location. Cheerful and helpful staff. Decent breakfast choices, even though I always chose the same cooked breakfast. Comfortable sized room, with a well equipped bathroom. Bar included a few local ales and ciders.

United KingdomI think they have lots of inexperienced staff who require more supervision than they appear to get. Glasses remained on the tables after people had left while staff chatted and meals did not always come out at the same time.
Location was excellent. Love the fact that the hotel is dog friendly. The room was very clean and spacious.
