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.).

The hotel was very clean and welcoming. The breakfast was very enjoyable and plentiful. The location on the sea front was amazing. The bedroom was immaculate although the en-suite was a little on the small side. Overall we had a great stay.

United KingdomRoom 10 has a very small shower cubicle and the shower is not at all powerful (we did discuss this with the owner and they have plans to update). Also a very low ceiling near the window. Tempur mattress doesn’t suit everyone and we didn’t find it especially comfortable. Breakfast is served 8-9am only and you can’t check in until 5pm.
Very clean and nicely decorated. Good breakfast. Lovely views. Very quiet location

United KingdomThe fact that breakfast was quite early 8-9 am. and you had to order your breakfast the night before. More like a b&b than a hotel.
The hotel was lovely and very clean. Nice breakfast. Peter the owner was very helpful recommending places to go. The hotel was very quiet. It was central and on the sea front lovely view from the balcony.

United KingdomAt the moment there is no evening meals, I think guests should be made aware of this as still says evening meals
The view was lovely, could hear the sea, loved having the patio doors and not just a window. Loved there were binoculars in the room, it was spotlessly clean and you could see they paid attention to detail. The bar was open till 11pm and also liked the smoothies.

United KingdomI booked a B&B package and on check out was billed for our breakfasts, turns out I had only paid continental and not full English. I have spoken to the owner and to be fair although I didn’t query when I booked it on the type of breakfast we would receive, we had to complete a preorder slip each evening and the small print did say we would be charged for anything over and above a continental. I was high on holiday vibes and didn’t fully take in the small print as in my head I had paid for breakfast and so it didn’t apply to me. owner has accepted my comments and will make it clearer to his guests in future. Conclusion is we have all learnt from this and it didn’t spoil our stay, the owners were great, very welcoming and very hospitable.
the location is great, that view is so amazing

United KingdomThe Bad Hidden charge of £9.50 per person for cooked breakfast was not showing on the website before booking. You have to pre order breakfast the evening before. On the website breakfast is from 8-10, in the guest information folder breakfast is at 0830 and on check in we were told breakfast was 8-9.. Too many rules. No shade provided for balcony. Water pressure was not the best. The upper deck terrace is the only outdoor seating area with shade but it is closed to guests after breakfast. One of the house rules is the wearing of face masks in the public areas, clearly just applies to guests as the family came and went during their day on the upper terrace without a mask in sight. Car parking of one car in front of another necessitates moving of cars to let others out in the mornings. A flask of fresh milk was provided on day one for use in the room but was removed on day 2 and never replaced. Our room was not cleaned on day 3 so we ran out of tea and coffee pods. Their website is out of date and still showing 2021 breaks. The Ugly There is a busy railway line very close to the rear of the property which is not mentioned anywhere but it was nicely screened off with some shutters. At certain times, there is also a faint sewerage pong which probablly comes from the beach or sea.
Amazing sea views. Good quality towels and bedding. Comfortable mattress. Very clean place. Good quality TV in the rooms. The Nespresso machine and binoculars were nice touches.
