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 KingdomBooked a double and got two single bedded room. Asked for a room with a bath as a special request; booking.com replied to us that the accommodation would honour the request. Had 4 automated emails from the hotel saying they only check the requests email once per day, but w3 didn’t get a confirmation about the bath request. On arrival the room only had a small shower with electric shower and very poor water pressure. Really disappointed, wouldn’t return and won’t book again through booking.com
Car park on site, sky tv in room, warm room

United KingdomCleanliness was very poor. Bed linen and towels were stained with hairs in the beds, dust everywhere, shower dirty, cups dirty with hairs on them. We had to sleep on top of duvets as so unclean. Also, the top of the stairs are a death trap. Unacceptable for an inflated price. We were visiting a very poorly family member, and this was a choice based on limited options. Never again, terrible and only glad we didn't decide to have breakfast there. I have posted only a couple of photos as too many.

United KingdomI was locked out of the Hotel one night even though I had been given the correct key. The lock had been “snibbed”, and because it was 1am there was no one available at the hotel. I’m no locksmith, but surely they need a different type…..ie. a lock that prevents this scenario Thankfully there was a route onto the hotel roof to which in turn allowed me to climb in through the hotel room window (the correct room), but this was via Carnoustie Library roof, and began via a fence with semi-sharp protrusions, so it was a little dangerous. On reflection this wasn’t an ideal way to enter the hotel, especially when there’s an alternative, that involves simply walking through a door.
I liked the fact that downstairs there was a busy bar, which was well decorated and also served food.

United KingdomThere was a problem with our booking we had paid in full before arrival and had confirmation from the hotel for the Ben Hogan deluxe double but when we arrived our room wasn't available they said because of the hotel booking page not refreshing whatever that means. The room we were given was a family room which was a disappointment shower not properly cleaned and windowsill in bedroom had rubbish and dirt on it curtain tie back was hanging off and towel rail came to bits if you hung more than one towel on it.
Lovely bar and deck area . Food was very good we had an evening meal and breakfast both large portions and tasty. Location was close to the beach and local amenities. Staff were nice and friendly.

United KingdomI think a few instructions in the room would would help eg how to activate the radiator (it had an electronic thermostat but not clear how to switch it on) and how to use the television. There are soap dispensers in the shower but no soap so these should either be removed or filled. It’s not a high star rated facility so there’s no hairdryer.
Good location with carpark though there are no marked spaces so space is wasted. Room was basic but beds were comfortable and clean and electric shower was easy to use. Sockets are international which is helpful for foreign visitors. Tea and coffee in room (though the milk pod I opened was off so best to check before pouring!!). Staff are helpful.
