Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThey do have a limited dinner menu if you are thinking of eating at the hotel. However, as you are 5 min walk from restaurants This is not really an issue.
Very clean and well presented hotel.

United KingdomI wouldn't say I dislike the hotel for any reason but found it strange that it is described as 5 star as it doesn't appear to have many facilities. There's a tiny bar which staff will take your drink to other lounge areas. There is no swimming pool and the restaurant is only open in the morning for breakfast. If you require an evening meal, then you have to sit in your room! Bizarre. The shower needs an adjustable bracket otherwise the water goes everywhere.
Super room described as at the back of the property, which turned out to have a side sea view towards the pier. Fascinating over 100 year old lift which the staff would assist you with the doors. Staff were very pleasant and helpful when I needed to stay an extra day. The hotel has a very attractive frontage and parking permits available for £2.20 per day. Very centrally located. Very clean room and bathroom.

United KingdomI think for a hotel like that the bill for our extras were written on a scrap piece of paper in almost unintelagable writing and we were not given a printed out one it was unproffesional. Another small thing there were no spare toilet roll in the bathroom. I tried to upgrade our room with booking.com but was told i couldnt but the hotel was nowhere near full ?
The staff were so accommodating and helpful always a smile and would help with any extra requests. We do not eat a full breakfast so asked would it be possible to just have some toast and coffee . They came with a pretty tray with toast tiny jars of jam and marmalade and butter and we sat out in the sunshine it was lovely .
