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 StatesWe feel that the owners could be a little more helpful when it comes to using the bus lines or other questions about the area. We felt that they really did not know much about the surroundings and were not real helpful. Also, we traveled all night and were very tired when we arrived. They kept our luggage for us while we went to get some lunch which was very nice, but would not let us into our room until 3PM sharp. If the room is ready earlier, why would they not let the weary traveler in?

United KingdomIt is quite hilly around the area, but we enjoyed getting our steps up each day and felt better for walking down and up again from the beach.
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely boutique hotel. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The owners are very nice, friendly, hard working and extremely helpful. The self service buffet style breakfast was excellent value for money and was absolutely fantastic, with everything you could want available to start the day. We loved having breakfast on the balcony and found the sea view stunning. We were even served fresh bananas from the garden one morning. Absolutely fabulous! There is also a small pool and hot tub available for use and board games in the bar area. The town was so quaint, with a nice harbour and beach area to enjoy the sun. There are also lots of very nice restaurants to choose from.

United KingdomWe had a problem with blocked pipes under the shower in our room which caused a very unpleasant odour during our stay. The owners tried their best to fix it, but no plumber was available until the end of our stay. The room was not the one we expected and there was very limited room for storage. However, it did work well with our teenage children as they had separate beds in a separate area. The new owners have tastefully decorated the rooms as best they can, and have plans to make further improvements to the rooms.
We loved the fantastic views down to the sea, the beautiful and tasteful decor of the reception areas, wonderful pool area and very friendly and helpful new owners. The owners take huge pride in their hotel and are always available and keen to help, including helping us carry our luggage to our room, and finding safe storage for our bikes. We were also impressed that our room was cleaned every day. The immediate area is very handy, with a local supermarket, boulangerie and brasserie. We barely used our car - we walked every day and evening into Villefranche-sur-mer (you get very fit as it's hundreds of steps!) and also did an early morning walk to Cap Ferat. We drove one evening to Nice to walk along the Promenade des Anglais and watch the sunset - wonderful.

SpainThey should consider installing an awning above the outside terrace. The sun and heat are so intense, even at 8:30 am and you basically have to eat breakfast inside (and only 3 of the inside tables are far enough back to avoid the sun). An awning would solve this.
Great staff, excellent breakfast, beautiful views, great location and very near Nice.

IrelandThe hotel was in a very nice and scenic location and run by a lovely and helpful family. The location is convenient and is right on a number of bus routes, including a local bus down to the main town of Villefranche-sur-mer. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious and came with blackout shutters to ensure a good night's sleep away from heat and noise. The breakfast buffet option was great and eating on the terrace gave fantastic views of Villefranche-sur-mer and Cap-Ferrat. The hotel's pool and jacuzzi facilities were also lovely and afforded us a great opportunity to relax before and after our days exploring. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomAlthough we could walk to the supermarket and bakery, it was a 25-30 min walk into the main town which could be a little far for older people/ kids. We made use of some of the local buses but mainly used Uber which was easy enough to get in high season.
Our 4 person room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a beautiful sea view. There were some nice touches like sweets, tea and coffee. The beds were very comfortable too! There was no noise at night so we all slept well. It was wonderful eating breakfast on the terrace in the sun each day. The food was very good quality: a good selection of pastries, bread, fruit, eggs etc and the coffees were delicious. It was also great to have the bar for pre and post dinner drinks. The pool area was clean and spacious and there were always enough loungers for our group of 4. Location-wise, there was a supermarket and boulangerie a short walk away which was handy. Emilie was very welcoming and always ready to help - thank you for having us!

United KingdomThe walk to the town but Uber isn’t much around tenner. We got there and asked if they were serving food and they were not until the evening. Went to the shop for some crisps and took them to the pool and they were not impressed at all. Fair enough but we had no idea as other guests were eating and there was no sign. We would have happily ate at the hotel but there wasn’t food at that time.
The view from the hotel bar. So nice to come at the end of the day, they have games and you can have a wine and chill out. Emily was so lovely and made us feel very welcome. Brasserie and shops a two min walk away. The hotel wines were very nice too and well priced.

United KingdomThe hotel is quite high up so you need to be fit enough to tackle the 700 steps down to the front of Villefranche-sur-mer on foot, it is fine if you have a car and taxi's and ubers are in plentiful supply. We did not have a car for the final day so we did a bit of both walking and using ubers to get around and worked out fine.
We checked in for a one night stay in the the hotel for a stay in Villefranche-sur-mer prior to our return back to the uk. Emilie was a perfect host and treated so well on our arrival. The Breakfast in the hotel the morning after was superb with choice of continental breakfast being excellent along with home made treats and cakes that added to the personal touch this hotel provides. The facilities and views are great from the location.
