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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThere is limited parking at the hotel, when full the residential roads are suggested, however when I arrived the hotel was full and no spaces in the roads near to the hotel. I had to park 15 minutes away which was tricky for me with suitcase, hold-all and handbag. I have respiratory issues making the walk to the hotel tricky. Maybe letting people who have similar health issues/disabilities know by writing on the hotel description.
The hotel was easy to find, value for money, exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable, my room was at the front of the hotel overlooking the road and was quiet. A nice choice of breakfast food. Has a lift which is handy of you have mobility difficulties. Very friendly staff. It was a nice bonus having a bottle of water on day off arrival (in the fridge) and a bottle of water the next day. A very nice two day stay.

United KingdomThe only downside was that there were building works taking place opposite that were a bit noisy and started pretty early in the morning, but I do appreciate the hotel had no control over this. However this was the only negative! Would come back again.
I arrived an hour or so before check in time, so cheekily asked if I could check in early. Not only did they let me check in early, but they upgraded my room from a single to a double! My room was clean with all the mod cons, and more importantly the bed was comfy. Breakfast was lovely. Being a vegetarian I was pleased to see there was plenty for me to choose from. Parking wasn’t an issue. If you couldn’t get parked in the hotel car park, there was free on street parking in front of and behind the hotel. Just a short walk to local amenities, cafes, amusements and restaurants. I bought myself a coffee from a lovely little cafe along the front and sat on Ilfracombe Beach watching the waves. It was tranquil and beautiful!

From the first step in the front door you enter a different time zone, the upgrade so well done right though the complete hotel. Breakfast was very good selection, Dinner menu was so good we eat in the hotel all three nights. Michael and all his Staff could not do enough for you. Room upgrade on booking in. House keeping was very good, even bottle water was in the fridge each day. Even with a Coach party in for two of our days, it did not affect our stay, other than make parking a bit tight

United KingdomThe showers were really good, although you could hear the humming from other rooms when someone had theirs but it didn't last long. We hit some good weather so the room was quite warm at night, you could open the windows but if you don't want to hear early morning seagulls, shut it and use the fan provided as standard in each room.
The welcome on arrival was great and Michael always seemed on hand to help. I'd been in touch earlier in the week and the gentleman was very helpful and able to accommodate our (changed) needs. The choice of breakfasts was very wide and we tasted a variety, all of which were excellent and perfect poached eggs - great chef!
