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 KingdomParking was a bit of a challenge very busy bank holiday weekend but free on the road on a Sunday which was a bonus and in the small carpark opposite after 6 and before 8 in the morning
Beautiful apartment with everything you needed and well worth the stairs for the view! Fully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, quality fixtures and furniture. Great base to explore North Devons beaches and coastline. Recommend Herne Bay 5 mins drive safe bay and great changing facilities and Tunnels beach in Ilfracombe tidal pool and loved seeing 'Verity' from every vantage point especially The Lime Kiln cafe great find.

United KingdomYou should be aware that parking isn't perfect BUT there is a nearby car park just a minute or two walk away. There is a short stay car park just across the road which is perfect for unloading. Don't be put off by the entrance into the apartment block, Seagulls loft is really superb. In the morning the Seagulls certainly wake you up and what better way to remind you that you're staying right by the sea!!!
When I walked into to the building I was a little nervous, it certainly didn't feel like this was going to be a top notch apartment with the slight damp smell. We tentatively climbed the many stairs to the loft apartment feeling somewhat apprehensive ......... after opening the door we realised why the reviews were so good, the apartment itself is absolutely awesome!! This was the first of six nights on a 'road trip' covering Devon & Cornwall staying in a different room or apartment each night, there were some very good apartments and rooms BUT this was way ahead of any of the others. Fantastic views, lovely clean apartment and very well equipped. I have read many 'excellent' reviews for different rooms or apartments but there are very few that come up to this standard in my experience. The owners obviously take great care to make sure your stay is just perfect and it was.
