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 KingdomI thought the whole hotel was a bit too warm. We got the heat turned off in our room and got a fan but downstairs having dinner my dog was panting and we had to get ice cubes to cool him down.
The breakfast was lovely. Lots to choose from .

United KingdomWe requested a travel cot as we had 1 eight month old baby, this was provided. Our room had 3 extra beds and was up a flight of stairs with no lift. We had alot of equipment for the baby and had to carry everything. We asked the hotel had they any other rooms and they said no.we had to carry everything up and down. They said we would have been better booking through the hotel rather than booking.com, and there was nothing they could do about it. We spoke to another couple that night who said they had only booked a room that day as well. We feel there was no understanding on the staffs part.
Nice breakfast

United KingdomWe were in the beach house and you have to walk outside to get to it, weather was raining so we got soaked every time we wanted to go to the hotel. The brought me the wrong meal at dinner - Marconi which is simply the worst restaurant I have ever been too. I sent mine back and preferred to eat nothing. My partners champ was like something from school dinners. The whole hotel stinks of dog

United Kingdomdon't under any circumstances book through booking.com, it was clear the hotel prefer you book through them (which I tried to do several times without getting a reply) we were surrounded by scenes to die for and yet we were put in room 221 which my wife summed up as one of the rooms in the nursing home she works in with alarm strings dangling in the bedroom and bathroom and our view from the window was the kitchen roof , was informed by a friendly staff member I got this room because of the way we had booked , so don't use booking.com to book here,
the staff were friendly , the hotel clean ,the area outstanding

United KingdomDidn't know it was a pet friendly hotel - wasn't stated on booking site so was surprised to arrive to a lobby with 4 possibly 5 dogs sitting with their owners. The weather the day we arrived wasn't pleasant so lobby smelt like wet dog. Room we booked wasn't ready so we were reassigned to a room within the main building. Room was clean & basic but had the faint smell of dogs being there previously.
Bed was comfortable

United KingdomThe only downside was that our room didn't have a nice view 😕
Everything, room was very clean, huge bed, very comfy. Our room was a family room though it was only 2 of us. So there were three extra beds just off the main room. So this would be a great room for a family. Also the shower was great. Reception staff and dining room staff were all lovely, especially Kym on Reception. Lovely cooked breakfast
