Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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 KingdomThere were a few housekeeping issues - vanity mirror in one of the bedrooms was very dirty, probably missed by the cleaners. Outside chairs were a bit dirty and there is also a problem with the rug under the dining table - the edges are curled up and this is a trip hazard as a few of us found out! It would be nice to have a seat outside the front door as this is where the sun is in the evening - the house next door has one!
The property had everything you could want for a long weekend break. There are 3 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms and also a toilet on the ground floor. Outside space is a small garden with table and chairs for 6 people, there is also a washing line if you want to take advantage of the washing machine at the property. The location is ideal - 5 minute walk to Co-Op, Tesco Express and a pub. 15 minute walk to the High Street for shops, restaurants and pubs as well as the beach. The surrounding area is very quiet, the only noise is from the seagulls!

United States of AmericaI thought the cleaning fee, almost a third the cost of the rental, was unreasonable, especially considering the stern warning about removing all glass from the site and the recommendation to strip the beds. This is a management issue, not the property owners'. Really, for 189 pounds, I think the cleaning staff should be able to handle a wine bottle and sheets.
Rest Ashored is a new-built house about 10 minutes walk to town center and beach, really perfect. The rooms were spotless and well equipped. I especially liked that the owners left maps and other information on the area, so it was easy to find a footpath that we wanted to explore. Also, there were binoculars for those who neglected to bring theirs. The only reason I would not rate this as exceptional is I think the stove top is difficult to use, and the instructions were not complete, we had to call the management, who responded immediately with what we needed to do. This model may be standard for the UK but for me, anything with knobs is preferable to pressing interminably to find the right temperature.

United KingdomA couple of windows didn’t have blinds or curtains for privacy or to help keep out the sun
Easy to collect keys as it was a lock box. Accommodation was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and furnished. Nice extras such as record player and wine fridge. Toilet on each floor. Private garden with table and chairs, BBQ.

United KingdomThe halogen hob is slow but once you get the hang of it, it's fine. It would have been helpful to have a list of what is termed as 'recyclable rubbish' vs non-recyclables (eg plastics) as we had to assume that soft plastics were non recyclable. Teenagers get through a lot of food wrapped in this! A minor detail though.
We had a wonderful stay in this comfortable and lovely house - super well-equipped, everything was in great order and everything worked well. Good location for walking to the beach, into town and for getting around. A great example of a high quality holiday let. The hosts have thought of pretty much everything. Thank you.
