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 KingdomThe single bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but the hotel wasn’t expensive.
Nice position on the sea front. Friendly staff. Nice buffet breakfast. Cheapest en suite accommodation I could find in WB. Nobody bothers/pesters you. Good WiFi. Not too far from the Metro station.

United KingdomRoom could have had another table lamp on other side of the bed, Curtains that were not falling down, more sockets for mobile phone charging and a general facelift
The hotel was partially boarded up as it is being renovated it is an old fashioned Seaside hotel in need of serious TLC. Staff were lovely room was clean if tired. only one bedside lamp very few sockets, curtains hanging off the hooks you get the picture. Breakfast was good but limited to scrambled eggs and hot lamp heat choice . Parking is limited so there is further parking up the road at £3;00 a day.

Right on the sea front so you can get directly to the beach. Ideal for places for food of an evening.

AustraliaThere was a strange smell when we walked into reception and upstairs. No lift meant lugging our suitcases up two flights of stairs. Very noisy road and the beds were old. Linen could do with updating.
Great location and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good value.

United KingdomThis hotel is very tired and needs updating, I didn't see a lift so I it might not be the best place for someone with a disability. Our room only had one curtain and blackout blind.
The breakfasts here are very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is in a great location. It is very clean as well. The I didn't like would not stop us from staying here again

United KingdomLack of regard for fire regulations. 3 doors on the floor I was on propped open. See photos for doors propped open told by a member of staff it was because the domestic was cleaning, no domestic to be seen! One door propped open all night so if a fire had occurred it would have ripped through the first floor
The location and breakfast was brilliant.

United KingdomOnly one curtain hung up which meant daylight came through early. Wasn’t a curtain that pulled all the way across! Questionable stain on one of the duvets even though they were meant to be fresh. Nobody on reception so told the night porter when we returned after going out for the evening. He was helpful and gave us a new sheet for me to make the bed up myself. He was going to leave a note on reception but no one ever contacted us about this!

United KingdomRoom was a little old looking but not too bad. I really think that if they spend some serious money on this place it will be a goldmine.
I thought the staff were very good. Including the new guy who was on the desk. Really helpful and friendly. So was the guy doing the breakfast and I must admit the breakfast was lovely
