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 KingdomIf you have children - as you leave the house you are immediately on a road…. Not over busy, but as it’s on the corner it’s a bit more risky.
Location is amazing! Comfortable house with all amenities needed! The views are incredible regardless of weather!

United KingdomThe sofa bed in the lounge was apparently not very comfy for one guest as we had to use this one evening. The fifth member of the group left the next day so then we were four and we all had our own rooms - which was much better. The upstairs room off the lounge which had the views out to the front - the bed in that room is not as comfy as the rest of the beds. The mattress has sunk down very low. We suggest the mattress could be changed in this room. This was the only complaint!
There were five friends staying at the property. We all agreed that the property was very well maintained and we loved the nautical theme throughout the house! The house was exceptionally clean. The shower was fantastic. It was ideal for our stay. We were extremely cosy with the fire in the lounge when it was very wet and cold outside. The views are STUNNING! The locals were very friendly and helpful. It was big enough for us all to have a bit of room to ourselves.

United KingdomOccasional sulphur smell from seaweed when tide was out
Loved the area, ruggedness of the beach, calmer waters between the rocks for swimming(cold, but it is the North sea). Friendly locals. Very relaxing watching tides from the balcony 10 minutes from rail station, main beach and shops

United KingdomThe sofa in the lounge is not quite as comfortable as I'd like but taking in the view helps to forget .

United KingdomJust a few niggles that stopped this rental being perfect. The kitchen windows were dirty on the inside and some kitchen items weren't cleaned properly. The carpet was stained at the top of the stairs. The upstairs Seaview bedroom had a very soft bed that dipped in the middle.
The view at this property is exceptional. Watching the sunrise in the morning and sitting on the balcony was just perfect. We also liked the Woodburner and the history of the building. We would definitely return and recommend to others.

United KingdomWe had one small issue and that was lighting at night with no curtains/blinds. If you kept the only lighting available on in the living room it wasn't very private as passersby could see into the house. My solution would be to change the ambience in the lounge by adding a lamp or some other soft lighting. We compromised by bringing the bedroom lights into the lounge area in the evening. We wouldn't have liked to block the view with curtains. So not an issue for us. This is a suggestion not a criticism. Hoping to come back with our Grandsons aged 13 and 18 soon (they loved this house).
The view was exceptional. The location was perfect for our family. The house was extremely comfortable with everything we needed. We had really nice weather which brightened the the already cheerful bright nautical themed house and it was like looking out at a picture perfect postcard.
