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 KingdomNormal check in is very late (4pm), although it was good we’ve been offered to use the facilities earlier. It took a long time to be served at the bar when it wasn’t busy.
Great location and facilities! It’s a lovely hotel with good value for money.

United KingdomRoom was tired wallpaper coming off in some areas - furniture could do with updating- housekeeping was fine although never restocked the tissues or shower gel which when you are paying a good rate these are things you expect to be done - Carparking fee £20 a day then get an email from hotel to say £10 a day but nobody is bothered to refund because they don’t own the carpark -
Location was good for the beach and town-breakfast was nice - staff very good - bed was really comfy -

United KingdomExtra payment for the room with sea view which we received is not acceptable and in my opinion. It looks like cheating the customers. Members of staff explained to us that it was “you have some kind of view of the sea.” What would be if we did not pay extra ... probably we could get the room with a view of the parking.
Polite and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast with full of choices. Monilli jewellery and bags are a bonus.

United KingdomNot being able to use the outdoor pool. It was closed. Curtains in room where falling apart. Bits of the material falling off. Blind in bathroom terrible wooden mouldy thing. Shower just dripping all night no matter how much we tried to turn it off. Parts of interior in hotel very tired looking. Even a lick of paint in areas and plain new curtains. It has so much potential really without overspending.

IrelandThe accommodation is in need of a thorough revamping. The seafront in Bournemouth was equally disappointing for the same reason. Though, the beach is beautiful
The accommodation was very dated, but the room was very spacious and overall we had a comfortable stay.

United KingdomHotel was overall a great experience and we would stay here again. We couldn’t enjoy breakfast as had to get up early in the morning before breakfast service began at 7:30pm which was a bit annoying. The family room was very spacious, clean and the beds were so comfortable. Hotel looks a little tired and in need of a little paint here and there but it was all absolutely fine for what we needed and it was very clean. The outdoor pool was fab! We would definitely stay here again.
