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 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.).

United KingdomThe patio doors and some of the windows did not look clean probably from the outside. The evening menu did not change. Having to ask for bottled water and complementary (lovely) biscuits to be left by the cleaner. The outdoor pool not opening until midday. I would have thought that a deluxe room should have a fridge.
Our Deluxe room was great. The views, space, wardrobe, and draw space were perfect. The breakfast was very good with a plethora of hot or cold choices. Helpful staff to support your needs in the restaurant. Although a tired looking hotel in places we loved the older decor.

United KingdomFood, as in previous years, to me is an area for improvement. Choice at breakfast is incredible but quality of cooked breakfast is disappointing to the point where I skipped it for a lie-in a few times. Bar menu is limited and not great quality (lukewarm soup) and restaurant food also mixed quality for me. Shame that the outdoor pool was open so little this year, despite beautiful warm weather in mid-late September.
Location is perfect, my 6th visit! View from balcony never disappoints and very handy to walk down to the harbour. My bed was very comfortable (it outweighed breakfast on some mornings). Possibly slightly outdated furnishings but I prefer this to ultra-modern because very comfortable. Staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. I asked for a specific room again and they delivered - thank you!

United KingdomWe had an evening meal in the hotel. This was good but service very slow. Breakfast good but someone needs to be managing things better - fruit ran out each day, there were no plates at times and scrambled egg was variable (bit lumpy one day). However these are small issues. What was really upsetting (and not the hotel's fault) was the poor behaviour and noise from our upstairs neighbours on two of the nights we stayed. They were thumping and crashing around for hours making it iimpossible to sleep. The hotel staff did intervene to help.
Our room was spacious and comfortable good beds and a bathroom with a bath! The TV was a good size and there were comfortable seats. The Breakfast was good and the seating area had lovely views.

United KingdomWe opted for a deluxe room with a sea view and a balcony. Very disappointed in the balcony furniture, would have expected more comfortable chairs or sun loungers and a TABLE to rest a book or drinks on. Bathroom OK but I hate shower curtains !! Also the bathroom should have had a proper shaving mirror and I would have thought that a deluxe room should have a fridge ?
The location of the room was excellent with a beautiful view from the balcony. The choice of food for breakfast was excellent and the cooked food was hot. There was a relaxed atmosphere throughout and we found any staff who we dealt with helpful and polite.

United KingdomThere was no refrigerator in the room. So you couldn’t really buy your own drinks and keep them cool.
We had a room with a Seaview and to wake up to that every morning was fantastic. The room was nice and spacious with a good size balcony. Plenty of choice at breakfast and helpful waiting staff.

United KingdomWe have a balcony room and would appreciate a small table to go with the chairs for drinks, book etc. I would prefer a shower to a bath but there are plenty of grab rails to assist your climb in & out of the bath. Not all rooms have access without some steps which is awkward with luggage (though you can get your bags delivered/collected to/from your room).
Breakfast is amazing with lots of choice, luckily over the days we were there we could try most of it. Location is only marred by the steep hill if walking back up from town but the view over the gardens to the sea without any interruption (no road or path) is incredible. It never disappoints and we’ve stayed there lots of times. The beds are very comfortable with mattress toppers to ensure a great night, the pillows are also great but they will change them for a different type if you prefer. I’m already looking forward to our next visit and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
