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.).

United KingdomThe hosts were wonderful ! Extremely friendly and helpful , really made us feel at home. They were more than happy to answer any questions we had and were quick to replace anything that had run out in our room, or give us anything extra. The breakfasts were lovely ! Big portions and there was a variety of things we could choose to have for breakfast, including as much cereal, yoghurt and fruit as we wanted. The room was also very very clean as well as the bathroom, which made our stay that much more comfortable as we had nothing to worry about in terms of cleanliness. A wonderful place with wonderful people , and we would definitely recommend it !!

Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful clean room with comfortable beds. We particularly enjoyed the mini fridge in the room which we have not experienced in a B&B before. We were able to keep our drinks cold ready for the next day adventure which was fantastic in the warm weather. The room also had a tower fan which kept the room cool so everyone slept despite the heat. Breakfast was cooked to perfection each morning with a wide variety of choice and Foug and Deb took the time to advise us on local beauty spots to visit based on our families interests. We will definitely be visiting again.

One of the best B and Bs we've stayed in for a long time (and we have stayed in a lot!). Exceptionally clean and modern. Fabulous breakfast. Absolutely lovely owners. Great touches such as a proper fridge with real milk. Great location. Very dog friendly. Would love to go back again

The cleanliness of the place, the location and the great friendly hosts. This was a lovely clean and comfortable place to stay for our extended trip to Dorset. It’s in a very convenient location to visit Poole harbour, Bournemouth and the Jurassic coast. Doug and Debs were absolutely great hosts, helping us with the local attractions and the variety of places to dine for our family. From the moment we arrived we felt we were treated with great respect and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and the breakfast was always cooked fresh and we had no issues with our stay here. My son absolutely loved Doug and kept talking about him when we left. He wanted to come back and stay again, which I’m sure in the future we’ll be returning again. Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay.

United KingdomNo complaints at all
Doug was the perfect host and the breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the quay and still be far enough away from the busy town. We enjoyed our time here immensely and will return next year. We did not meet Debs on this occasion and hope to do so next time. Doug was very informative and friendly. We also appreciated the gift and card Doug gave us and were touched by the thought (we were on honeymoon).

United KingdomSmall note - the B&B is next to the Labour Club and we could hear a conversation but this didn't go on too late. Just be aware that if you are driving from the B&B to Poole you may be stuck at the lifting bridge. We didn't experience this during our stay.
Very clean and tidy bedrooms. Excellent hosts who were very friendly and had plenty of time for us. Excellent communication. When we were going out they offered suggestions about how to get about and what to see. On the first morning there was ourselves and another couple, and on the second morning there was an additional family, and we were all involved in the conversation at breakfast . Loved Louis the dog who kept escaping from his cage. This is a dog friendly B&B.
