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.).

Natacha
United KingdomInterior decor is a bit outdated and the bathroom was small and could do with some refurbishments. Breakfast period is short and we were not told at check-in that reservations for breakfast were needed. But staff did quickly resolve the issue and we were able to have a lovely warm breakfast in the end. But would recommend to book breakfast in advance!
Good location, close to the station and the seafront/pier. Beds were comfortable and staff were friendly. Really good value for money!

United KingdomIf the curtains had blackout lining it would be better to block out the early morning sun. The upper sash window didn't lower so the only fresh air was through the lower sash window which was limited to prevent seagulls coming in.
Staff were very good. Checking in was an issue with Booking.com but staff sorted that really quickly. The bar and restaurant staff were also really good.

(3) Breakfast choice poor and limited. Limited poor choice of cereal, no cheese.Bread only 2 choice.Cooked breakfast also limited choice. No mushrooms, no boiled eggs. Fruit only tinned grape fruit and tinned prunes. No fresh fruit. Yogurt only plain. Breakfast needs improving.

The reception lady was really helpful and very pleasant. The room and bathroom was super clean and my room was cleaned which I didn't expect. I was able to open the window which helped keep it cool.

The reception staff were so kind and helpful. also the bar staff. very pleasant room, more spacious than I would expect for a single room. the room was warm - too warm, but soon aired. There was activities and events both nights I stayed. Breakfast had great choice. I am vegan and the chef very kindly organised vegan sausages. I bought my little dog who was generally fussed over and cared for. Really excellent stay.
