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 KingdomGreat breakfast but self service which was jammed into a corner. Only one toaster and if you didn't grab croissant as they came out you had to do without. One of the morning only one coffee machine working

United KingdomWe just don’t like the change for the baby cot which is £6.00 for a night and it was even not comfortable or great for kids.
What a lovely hotel I am so glad I found it and gave it a try. The room was lovely and very clean. We enjoyed the pool and location was great just in front of the beach!

United KingdomThe single room was adequate for me however the shower room was tiny! Part of the bar was shut off for a private event for 2 days/2 evenings and i wasn't aware that I would not be able to have a hot meal in the bar while the airshow was on (only sandwiches available). Also was not allowed to use the outdoor pool facility in the sister hotel due to their airshow event. Disappointing as the weather was really warm!
The location of the hotel was perfect to watch the airshow from. The staff were all excellent. Nice bar area and indoor pool.

United KingdomThe focus on upgrading the rooms is obviously the priority, but the main walk ways as a result still look a bit tired. Didn't effect us in any way and expect that this will get done soon.
The rooms are being upgraded and whilst some old furniture was still in the room, the key things you would hope they'd focused on are excellent. For example we had a completely new bathroom with an excellent shower, and the bed was extremely comfortable.

United KingdomThe pool was over crowded which was understandable due to it being the summer holidays, it didn’t stop us having fun!
We picked this hotel as party of our mini break and we were visiting Go Ape and Dorset water park. The fact that the hotel had a pool was one of the main reasons for choosing the hotel The bed was very comfortable, we booked 2 double rooms (family of four) we did dad and son and mum and daughter. There were no family rooms available at the time of booking.

United KingdomThe outdoor pool was a little bit too cold for me. The service in the italian cafe could have been better. They didn't bring over the sachets of condiments to the table. They also served burnt fries to my friend. They should have made up a fresh lot.
The comfortable sundowners and the relaxing background music at cumberland hotel swimming pool. The conservatory area facing the sea front was nice. Also the comfortable seating in the suncliffe hotel bar.

United KingdomGENERAL: In some places the decor looked a little worn ie. some carpeting along the corridors. Condensation within the double glazing of some of the windows. ROOM: The two chairs in our room looked very worn on the seat and let the overall look of the room down. The chairs could have been replaced so that they colour matched the cupboards, to unify the look of the room. Walls were a little on the thin side so noises from the corridor/next door rooms could be heard. BATHROOM: The shower cubicle was a little small and could have had a small shelf inside. It was a tight squeeze to bend down to pick up toiletries! The main bathroom door kept rattling, when closed, because of the breeze from the open window so needed wedging with paper, to reduce noise at night.
LOCATION: The hotel was in close proximity to the station so was walkable for initial arrival. It was about a 10 min walk down to the beach which was great! Lovely sea views from the front of the hotel, bus stop almost across the road if it was needed. The inhouse facilities were numerous: sauna, indoor heated pool, squash courts, restaurant and bar with snooker table. My friend and I used the indoor pool and spent some time in the little bar area, playing snooker. Enough for our indoor entertainment requirements. BREAKFAST: We chose not to purchase the breakfast option as we did not want to be tied to a time scale and decided to spend more time enjoying the beach! It was great that the hotel was part of the Ocean Collection Group so facilities from the other hotels were available for us to use eg outdoor pool, Italian cafe, spa etc. ROOM: The wallpaper has a pleasant theme and there was enough storage cupboards et. The beds were comfortable enough, to ensure a good night's sleep. Tea/coffee making facility was sufficient for our needs.
