Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, 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 like 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 KingdomCoffee maker was not working properly. Shower tray seems had a stain or a mark. Not sure was it from wear or not cleaned properly. It would be nice to have some useful hooks in the bathroom to hang used bathrobe or clothes for changing. And it steamed a lot, perhaps needs better ventilation...
Breakfast was good, lots of choice: continental and fool english breakfast. Shower was very good and bathroom was filled with essentials.

United Kingdomgrumpy staff when we booked in. There was an issue with water pipes banging at various of times through the evening and night. The staff were clearly aware of this when we brought it up so why was the room in use ?
Maintenance guy was great when we discovered a broken socket on check in.

United KingdomThe one thing that I didn't like was the lack of staff. The staff did their best but they can't be in two places at once and they can only do one job at a time. This is NOT what I expected from a four star hotel. I would very much like to hear your comments.
The room was ok but rather small as was the bathroom. As we were only staying one night it didn't matter too much. Having said that it was lovely and clean. Dinner was the biggest disappointment, we waited over an hour and it was NOT AT ALL good when it did arrive in fact for what it cost it was pretty poor. Breakfast though was great.

We liked the swimming pool & the size of the room. We liked the room getting a refresh clean every day with new towels.

United KingdomThe room - a premium room for which we had paid a premium rate - was very disappointing. While it had a lovely sea view, it was small and not very clean. The paintwork was patchy and there was drops of paint on the furniture and carpet. The paintwork was also marked with what looked like spilt drinks and the room generally felt uncared for. The fridge also buzzed intermittently and had to be turned on and off to stop the noise.
The ground floor and front of house were lovely and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was well prepared and tasty.
