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 KingdomThe communal areas could do with being cleaned more regularly. Shelving was very dusty and carpets didn’t seem to be hoovered whilst we were there which you would expect being a dog friendly hotel. After breakfast the restaurant didn’t then reopen until 5pm which is a long wait for food if you just want to relax around the hotel. The hotel is not near any shops or restaurants so they should really have food available at all times for guests. It doesn’t even need to be anything major just maybe sandwiches, soups or something small for lunchtimes/snacks, or even offering a picnic box for guests to take out with them to the beach or on their walks. I think the hotel is missing a trick here. The rooms are rather noisy, we were in a dog friendly room on the ground floor and the guests staying on the first floor woke up at 5am each morning we were there. It sounded like a stampede of elephants running around above us until they left the room for breakfast at 8am, so didn’t really have the best sleep. The rooms were also very hot as heating tended to come on and off randomly.
Communal areas were nice and modern. It was very cozy and snug to relax in. The rooms were modern and fresh and had all you needed in the for a short stay. The outside space was beautiful and green and very close to the stunning Roanhead Beach which was perfect for walking the dog and admiring the scenery. Loved the fact it was dog friendly, so nice to be able to take your fury friend away with you. The food was also delicious when the restaurant was open, very tasty and nice big portions. There was also a nice selection of beverages at the bar. Staff were friendly and helpful when needed and with resources available to them.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in was very warm even though the radiator was not on. The rooms are not very soundproof as we could hear conversations in the hallway and also a dog barking in another room. The shower is smaller than a standard shower.
We liked the location of the hotel. The decor of the foyer, restaurant and downstairs lounge rooms was beautiful. The room we had was very spacious. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious and served very quickly. Front desk staff were very friendly!

United KingdomBooked a table for 6pm. Sat down at 5.55pm. Ordered food at 6pm only to be told at 6.15pm that they had ran out of one of the specials. Received our order at 7pm which wasn't what the other 1/2 half had ordered. Couldn't be bothered to wait so she ate it. Not good service.
Breakfast is a buffet type breakfast with a very good selection. Rooms are fine, a little basic. Good if you are taking your dog or dogs. Although there is a £15 per dog charge.

United KingdomAs mentioned above.
The food was very tasty, We did have to wait along time for our food but when it came, it was good. The staff were young and very polite but we have 3 separate mistakes with our food and drinks order. There were 2 older members of the restaurant front of house staff but this didn't seem to help. We have stayed many times at The Dunes but it's the first time we've had an evening meal. Maybe, we won't try it again. It wouldn't stop us staying again, we've eat breakfast twice and that has always been a good experience.
