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 KingdomLimited for space in dining/breakfast area, but a small table set with breakfast buffet offering fruit juice, butter, jams, etc would be an advantage. Waitress will bring on request, but not obvious as not offered on breakfast menu. Evening meal menu quite limited, but food well prepared and presented. Change of Chef resulted in breakfast orders being supplied, but differing from that stated on menu.
Warm, cosy hotel with an excellent roomy bedroom and large bathroom. Evening meal very tasty and good service. Excellent breakfast with extras on request. Car parking free and spacious and town centre and beach only a short distance away.

United KingdomLots of stairs with a heavy case to our high level room, but definitely worth it. The room was great.
Beautiful building, full of character, unlike many soulless modern hotels. Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff, great location just short stroll from town and the seafront. So nice to sit in the sun in the beautifully kept gardens and enjoy a drink after a long drive.

United KingdomThe room, though spacious, had a small window with a terrible view looking out over storage containers. Couldn’t open bathroom windows and pipes rumbled when toilet was flushed. A door banging closed nearby was an irritant at times.
Location close to sea front and town centre was ideal. Friendly staff made our stay very pleasant. Though booked in for bed and breakfast the food was excellent and there was enough choice that we ate dinner in the hotel every night. The hotel was in the process of changing its menu during our stay and the new menu was financially a better deal. Fine weather meant we could make use of the secluded garden at the back of the hotel.

SpainThe room was particularly warm with a large hot water pipe in the bathroom which meant the room was hot even with the window open. This was not a problem as the car park outside was quiet.
The hotel although old Is traditional decorated and furnished which makes the hotel be different from many others. We loved it and thought it was comfortable and clean.

United KingdomIn keeping with the property there is no lift however when you have been allocated a room up in the roof it is quite difficult to carry your luggage up( and down)the final very narrow staircase. So if mobility is an issue or you have a large suitcase as I did ensure you request a room on a lower floor before you go!!
Friendly and quick check in. Room was a great size and very comfortable. Hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities available. The decor of the hotel is definitely in keeping with the style of the building with lovely old oak panelling throughout. Can't comment on the evening dining options as we are out but breakfast was great with a good variety of options and no problem when I wanted to make a few changes to the menu options! Staff all friendly and efficient. It is also only a 10 min walk into town where there are lots of eating out options.

United KingdomThe stairs were a nightmare, especially the ones up to the attic rooms. Don't understand why they hike prices up for Racing days, they should know they will sell on such a busy weekend very naughty, they all do the same.
Breakfast was very nice, but you had to ask for everything you wanted, a separate table for juice & cereals etc would have been better. Evening meal was also very nice, everything cooked fresh to order. Plenty of choice on menu.
