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 KingdomUnfortunately when we awoke in the morning 3 out of the 5 rooms we had booked had no working shower due to issues with the hotel’s plumbing.
Amazing location right on the seafront. Clean and comfortable. The property is being redecorated but this did not affect the quality of the stay.

United KingdomIt is difficult to park outside. Book your parking in a nearby car park when you book the hotel.
Brilliant location on the sea front and about 50 yards from the beach. The room was large with a lovely view and very comfortable with a large bathroom. Breakfast was good value for money, a good and varied continental breakfast with plenty of tea or coffee. Staff were really helpful. The evening meal at the hotel was a lovely curry.

The fairhaven hotel is in an excellent location for bars and cafe and right on the sea front.For us as a disabled couple the provision of a lift (very rare in Weymouth) made it perfect.Comfortable and clean with a small bar as well made it perfect.

United KingdomThe aromas from the Indian restaurant, which was part of the hotel, this was not made clear. The winding small corridors to the rooms. Mattress was not overly comfortable. Hearing other guests when walking around in rooms above. Only a continental breakfast & only cooked offer at weekends only. Not made clear when booking.
The location was perfect. The bedding and towels were good quality. The shower was good. The bar area & reception was nice. The staff were friendly & accomodating. The room was cleaned whilst staying.

United KingdomUnfortunately on this occasion a (what sounded like) a young couple returned from a night out at 3am and proceeded to have an hour long , very loud disagreement on the stairs outside our room. But in fairness this hasn’t happened before on any other stay .
We stay here quite regularly and always have a lovely stay. . Staff are so friendly and helpful and this time had our room ready early as we had an afternoon event to attend. Will always choose this hotel if available.

Great location, right on the seafront at Weymouth, opposite the beach. Staff very friendly. Room was bright and clean, and shower worked well. No parking, but an arrangement with a local carpark at £6 for 24 hours was a good deal.
