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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe rooms were a bit musty, our room smelt like sweat. The windows do not open very wide only a crack. So we did our best to air out the room. Although they offer free tea and basic essentials our tea kettle was filthy. But everything else was nice.
Clean rooms, the host was very kind and polite.

United KingdomShower toilet was adjacent but not en suite - we knew that and it was fine. Nearby high street was very quiet in the evening so eating choices were limited - we did find a good Italian
Carl the manager was very friendly and helpful. Room clean, comfortable and simple for two friends stopping the night cycling through to Southampton from Bristol. Our bikes were locked away securely. Close to High St.

United KingdomI have no dislikes. The breakfast was fine. If you wish to have a full English breakfast as part of your board, then sadly this not for you. I prefer guest houses that provide it as an option or not at all.
Cannot complain. Went to Bournemouth for the day and decided to stay overnight. Room was good and even if you had to share a showeroom there was a shared kitchen for guests. So there were decent facilities. The room was clean and tidy.

United KingdomBeds were very hard, not very comfortable at all. Breakfast is only continental and only with 1 hour slot, 9am-10pm. But it was only £2 extra so not that big of a deal.
We had an event at the O2 and it was perfect for that as it’s like a 5 minute walk. Staff were friendly ,the hotel itself feels homely and comfortable . Room was a good size for 3 of us

I enjoyed my stay at the Ravensbourne Hotel.The facilities were excellent.I didn't have breakfast for the 2 days I was there.But I'm sure it is very good.I will definitely recommend this to anyone who visits Bournemouth.

United KingdomWas a bit disappointed this time as I've stayed here several times and they always do a lovely cooked breakfast. Paid and booked for b&b and wasn't told till I arrived that they weren't doing cooked breakfast anymore. It was help yourself cereal.Toast, tea and coffee which they had a large selection of but would have been nice to have been informed before hand and not greeted at the door and told then. Apart from that it's a nice place to stay. I do understand that the cost of living has gone up and wouldn't have minded paying a bit extra.
Great location. Have stayed here several times. The room was clean and comfortable.
