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 KingdomI went there with my brother who is a sous chef and we planned to visit Jamie Oliver restaurant and the place on pier. The B&B was the best opition we could book in this area. Emma was very nice and we feel very welcome from the fist step into hotel. The room, toilet and food serving area was very clean. Breakfast was great! All fresh and served hot but not like in chain hotels served from buffet. It was realy hot and sausage was the best I ever ate in UK. Emma said that is from local butcher and this is very important as we love to support small, local business. Thank you very much for hospitality.

United KingdomEverything was absolutely fine.
Very convenient for transport, bus stop right outside. Emma was very friendly and helpful and cooked the most marvellous breakfast. The beach was just across the road and a superb park only a few hundred yards away. The room was spacious, comfortable with all expected facilities as well as tea, coffee and biscuits, plus bottle of water each day. It was very clean and tidy, with a TV and several magazines also available to read. Very friendly and homely and a 'must, for a return visit. I was made to feel very much 'at home'.

United KingdomNothing could have been better!
Emma and John were such lovely hosts - they were so accommodating and welcoming after my long journey. As a lone female I couldn’t have felt safer. The location is perfect, right on the seafront with a free carpark just behind. Breakfast exceeded my expectations with a menu including full English (and veggie option) or other cooked options including salmon and scrambled egg, etc, and also fruit salad, greek yoghurt & honey, cereals and toast. Great value for money. I was sad to only be staying one night for work - would definitely return if in the area again.
