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 KingdomI honestly find it hard to think of anything wrong at all.
The manager had obviously given a lot of thought to making the accommodation as good as possible. The room was clean and well equipped with shampoo and towels and everything required. A really nice touch was the fruit bowl which was much appreciated. The tea tray was well stocked. A quiet hotel with good parking and in a good location. Will definitely book again if I’m coming to Bournemouth.

United KingdomPerhaps the fruit could have been fresher.
No breakfast provided, as mentioned in the advertisement, but fruit, biscuits and cold fresh milk were provided free of charge. There was a large fridge freezer near to the room on the landing and a microwave with clear instructions as to how to use it, although I never use microwaves. Lots of places to dine out nearby, or have a coffee, and Costa Coffee is open very early in the morning even on a Sunday. The instructions in the booklet in the room give ratings for local restaurants. The bed was large and comfortable and the room a good size, not overlooked and clean, while the adjacent shared bathroom with a shower and bath was also clean. The shower actually worked!! There was very little sound pollution unlike most hotels, B&Bs and guest houses. The hotel/guesthouse is on a housing estate, attractively decorated outside as well as on the inside, in a quiet residential area which is evidently affluent. It’s easy to get to central Bournemouth and Poole on the buses from the main road, which run very frequently and even up until midnight. The host was very helpful and carried my bags up the various flights of stairs upon my arrival. Tea coffee, hot chocolate, water, sugar, fruit and biscuits are all provided in the room.

I didn’t have breakfast as it wasn’t included but there was a lovely fruit bowl and biscuits. Yea coffee and hot chocolate plus cappuccino so I didn’t go hungry. The room had everything I needed. It is a little dated but that does not matter as it is clean and friendly and very welcoming. Great location by the sea and wonderful walks and close to amenities. Will definitely be back. Thank you

United KingdomThe bed could have been more comfy
We had a very cosy stay here for a couple of nights and were impressed with all the added extras. Where else would you find a bowl of fresh fruit, biscuits, coffees, hot chocolate and a big bottle of fresh water. Not forgetting other added touches like plates and knifes and forks just in case you order a takeaway. It was lovely to stay somewhere without having to pay extra for our dog too. The hotel is placed just a short walk from a lovely dog friendly beach with lots of places to eat near by too.

The B&B is within a stone's throw from dog-friendly Southbourne beach so really excellent for walks and fresh air. Christchurch is also just a short drive away. The room was quiet, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Staff and other guests were friendly and helpful.
