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 entertainment was horrendous. They need some better singers. The dancing and costumes were inappropriate for children. It's like something you would see at tiger tiger.
Arrived on the Friday and the room we was given wasn't really upto standard. So they upgraded us to a newly decorated family room which was much better. Breakfast evening meal was for fantastic for the money. Staff really pleasant.

United KingdomThere was still rubbish left in the bins that cleaners didn't take out. The sofa in the room had some minor damage to it.
Close to the clift lifts down to the seafront. Near to the town centre and bus stops as well. Good selection for breakfast. Didn't have evening meal, so can't comment on that. Not sure if there was any entertainment, as we went out for the evening. Didn't see any advertised though.

United KingdomIn the evening there were three dogs running around, twice one of them urinated on fake shrubbery at the side of the bar. This was unacceptable and I think dogs should be allowed but kept on a lead.
Breakfast was exceptional. The room was dated but pleasant and comfortable. The staff were friendly.

United KingdomPaying £7 for use of wifi per day?!. I understand the hotel needs work done, and that utilities have gone up in price but this seemed in my opinion steep. My room was too small even as a standard double, and having a dog it was cramped and very limited. The floor needed a good hoover and found sweet wrappers by bed. Paint/wall paper coming of from what appeared to be damp. Scuffs to paint work and skirt boards. Windows in need of repair and clean. The building is named the Royal. Lets get the inside to reflect the nams of a once grand building. It needs some TLC.
Staff friendly and accommodating, allowed me to switch rooms when required.
