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 KingdomThe new breakfast policy is not clear. We booked Bed and Breakfast to find anything other than continental was £10 extra. We found this very hard to understand, especially as we stayed in January and had the option of a hot breakfast every day at no extra charge. If we all had a cooked breakfast throughout our two day stay for three adults, it would be £60 extra, (In my case, just for a scrambled egg on toast!) I find this new policy hard to accept, with the prices for accommodation as high as they are, to charge extra for breakfast is something I've not come across anywhere else.
Great service from the moment we arrived. Rooms amazing with breathtaking views.

United KingdomAll was really nice the evening restaurant menu Seemed a bit limited but we did enjoy our meal Would have liked a wider choice of wine and no french wine was really disappointing for us?
The breakfast was good for a continental but the £10 additional cost for a cooked breakfast was a a bit disappointing however the quality of the cooked breakfast was excellent and good value but should have been included in the original hotel price /cost ?

United KingdomIt wasn't easy to know where to park our car when we arrived, for the valet parking although the staff were incredibly accommodating about this. We came with a child and found that although it was welcome news that she could come to the pool with us, the timings were very narrow and pretty restrictive for children, especially considering nap timings etc.
Staff were very helpful, welcoming and accommodating. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The view from the room over the beach was fantastic. The fact that the spa was complimentary with the stay was a lovely surprise and the facilities were well maintained, clean and not too busy. Breakfast was comprehensive and offered plenty of variety. The beach can be accessed by walking down a path directly from the hotel terrace, which made it very easy to explore. The town itself is lovely, full of art galleries and beautiful shops. We would definitely come here again.

United KingdomThe food was terrible, we ate at the hotel first night. The breakfast options were very limited and even though it says breakfast included (continental breakfast only) you still have to pay for hot dishes. For the cost of the hotel they could do much better. Service not great at all.
Our room was perfectly sized, great location to beaches and town centre. Indoor heated pool was great.
