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 KingdomNothing to add here.
Very responsive guest house owners before I arrived and as I arrived. Rich kindly offered to move his car so I could use the spot as I was late in and early off in the moment. Kate’s homemade cakes were a delicious addition. My cosy room had everything I needed, including fresh milk, TV, toiletries and high end cotton bed linen. Rich and Kate were helpful in many ways, including guiding me to food outlets and providing a pleasant space, cutlery and crockery for a takeaway I had on my first night. All in all I was super impressed by the level of service they both provided to help me feel comfortable and really at home. Many thanks. I will definitely return to Seaview Sanctuary if I am in the area.

United KingdomCan't really put anything here as really loved our stay. For us as bad back sufferers, the bed was a little too soft but that's more personal preference. We tend to have firmer type for 2 of us so as I say, personal preference but great quality like everything else. Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. lovely welcoming couple and special touches made our stay restful and pleasurable. Katie - your baking is divine! Your Banana and pecan cake delicious and the coconut and cherry buns reminded me of my late Grandma's ones. Thanks for everything and hopefully we can stay again.

United KingdomWe had two small fans in our room on the bedside table . We were staying during a hot period and the fans really didn't help. A large free standing fan would have been better
The couple were very friendly. Although parking was sparce the couple moved there own car so we could park near by. As we entered the property there was fresh home made cake and other refreshments for their guests. I was pleasantly surprised when Kate made me a vegan cake when she knew I was vegan. The balcony over looking the sea was a added bonus. I would definitely recommend this property.
