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 KingdomWe just feel that the outside of the building needs some TLC
Location was great for us & it’s nice to revisit a place where I hadn’t been since childhood. Would also like to add that the reception staff were excellent, very accommodating and felt like they couldn’t do enough for you!

United KingdomIt's picky, I know, but I'm trying really hard to think of something: The scrambled eggs at breakfast didn't taste of anything. Not even eggs. That was a bit weird.
The staff were great, the location is perfect, the room was all clean and everything in it worked.

United KingdomShower had no power to it, and no hot water when we got up at 7 o’clock. Only warm water later at 7:30. Hotel itself needs a refurbishment. It’s a bit tired looking. But don’t let that put you off, it has a very friendly atmosphere with great staff.
Breakfast was very good, buffet style. Fried or boiled eggs on request, sausages, bacon, fried tomatoes, baked beans, cereals and fruit. Couldn’t complain. The staff were excellent and went that extra mile to be accommodating. Great location and a nice veranda and beer garden on the sea front.

NetherlandsFacilities to eat when you have a dog where not very cosy. But then, when traveling with a dog, you can't be choosy.
It is an old hotel with lots of character. We were welcomed by a super friendly man at the reception who was very helpfull. The room was exactly as advertised. Good value for money with a beautiful garden. Would book again.

United KingdomSomeone with mobility issues might have struggled to use the shower as it was combined with the bath, but we were happy with it. Bed was a little firm but we both slept well.
Brilliant location with lovely views to wake up to. Nice to have a little balcony, and the seating area in the garden outside the bar would have been a lovely place to spend time relaxing had it been better weather. Room was medium sized, bathroom quite small but it did have a bath with plenty of hot water. Nice breakfast served in a very grand room. Didn't have dinner as it was quite a limited menu but if it had been pouring with rain we might have stayed in.

United KingdomNot much to say here, altho I would have liked better/brighter lighting in my bathroom which felt a little gloomy, and the exterior of the hotel looked a bit tired in places. However I still plan to return, with a friend, in the summer.
A charming hotel, with a big car park, in a great location on the sea front and also only a short walk from the town centre shops and cafes. Outside seating areas to enjoy the good weather and a G&T from the bar. Very courteous and helpful staff throughout made for a relaxing atmosphere and I was happy with my comfortable room (booked with a lovely sea view) and bed. Enjoyed the breakfast.
