Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomWe had four bedded room there was no bedside cabinet near bed by window my bed also a light would be good as no lighting in this area. There was only 3 hangers in wardrobe and no hooks at all ! The shower could do with some anti slip mat it’s a bit slippery and nowhere to hold on or handle.
Fabulous view from our room and restaurant and terrace. Good choice of breakfast very quick service.menu extensive but there is plenty of places to eat elsewhere. The music on terrace although a bit annoying did not go on past 11pm.

United KingdomAdmittedly we stayed over Easter Bank Holiday weekend and there was a stag party staying. They (understandably) took over the bar, so it was very noisy. In both our rooms, (so I presume all the rooms), the TV is on a unit right in front of the mirror. Would be much better if the TV’s were elsewhere on a wall bracket as you can’t see in the mirror. The bathroom mirror is good, but it’s high above the sink and you need to be nearly 6 feet tall to see yourself in it! The car park is small and no allocated spaces specifically for people staying in the hotel and no dedicated disabled bays. Anyone coming in to use the bar can use the car park and we got blocked in and had to change our plans as we couldn’t find the car owner who had blocked us. There is a council car park next to the hotel, but you can pay for up to 4 hours, or 24 hours - nothing in between - even with a blue badge. It’s £9.80 for 24 hours. The hotel food is okay. You’re given a time slot for breakfast, but even though we stick to our time, others didn’t, so there seems little point. Easter Monday, the ‘help yourself’ section on the breakfast buffet was shocking. Nothing had been restocked and there were no cups for hot drinks; no coffee, no milk and no bread. We had to ask twice for these to be topped up and when they brought out more bread, it was still frozen. We booked knowing the hotel wasn’t 5*, but that is very basic.
Location is good with amazing views. The hotel staff are quite young, but they are a good team and were very friendly. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are large.
