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 KingdomMade a special arrangement to book in earlier which on arrival the staff wasn't aware of the arrangement and couldn't assist with the arrangement, due to new staff employed. Arrangement as per booking confirmation arrival between 9-10 which we were then only able to return between 1-2. Bathroom could have been cleaner. The outside area to our room was untidy and not a pretty view. Also not comfortable to pull curtains open due to the possibility of staff being able to look into the room.
Room size, beds comfortable and neat, netflix available. Overall good, we celebrated my 9yr olds birthday and she enjoyed the stay and room.

United KingdomLack of breakfast included. Not a problem as this is stated but it is a bit expensive for a room only. Possibly some local details of area and places to visit could be available. Definitely some local taxi numbers would be an advantage.
Our sea view and balcony were amazing. There's a fridge in every room which isn't mentioned on the website. Such a bonus and should be advertised! Also tea/coffee/milk supplied. And they have WiFi which again they don't advertise. Spotlessly clean room. Bags were brought up for us.

Clean and comfortable. Excellent situation and good sea view from the window. Great one night stayover to escape from heat of London. The receptionist was very helpful in finding a place to store our bikes and carrying my bag upstairs.

United KingdomThe only thing I would mark this room down on was that the mattress was extremely firm but that's only down to personal preference.
Room was very clean, sea view was amazing, loved the balcony which had room for us to sit out on, very good shower which even had its own sea view. Was very hot weather when we stayed but room had a fan provided so stayed nice and cool. Large tv, host was very friendlyl when we arrived and saw us up to our room. Even though location is directly on the seafront we did not hear the traffic once balcony doors were closed which was good and for those interested in parking, it's street parking out the front which is free of charge. Thankyou

United KingdomThe presentation said private entrance and garden view. The garden view was the backdoor of other residents so, we could not open the window or even the curtains. No hairdryer. The towel handle was broken. The money we paid for just one night was not justified with just 2 double beds. We paid for the view and private entrance which we did not have.
The room was big. 2 big double beds. Water and tea on the house. The kettle working fine as well as the fridge. Attraction nearby. Sea on the other side of the road.
