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 KingdomCheck-in was not easy. There is nowhere to deposit your luggage and pick up your car park discount token from reception. Busy public car park is 75 yards away. Our bathroom was small with a poor ventilation fan which led to an awful smell throughout. Fault was reported. There is only one lift to service 111 bedroom guests and this broke down the next morning!! Overall the hotel although tired was good value as a B&B for one night.
As we were going to see the Ukraine Opera House production of Carmen at the Princess Theatre; we stayed at this hotel due to its location to the theatre. The bedroom on the fourth floor was spacious and provided a nice sea view. Breakfast was good, plentiful and in a very nice large room with street views!

United KingdomCheck out was 10am. This isn't ideal if you've been on a night out. 11am would be better! Parking was ok but the process could be improved... Having to pick up a key card before and dropping it off after was a bit of a faff.
Great location and view of the harbour. Comfortable room.

United KingdomRoom with a view fantastic but a warning for those sleeping lightly, it's on a busy road with passers by untill late. Although It was a Friday night and didn't affect our stay.
Very spacious room, good room decor, and upgraded fixings for an older building, lovley original features still present throughout. Friendly front of house employees. Didn't eat or drink at the hotel, but the bar looked to be busy, yet relaxed when passing. I would recommend staying here, we stayed for 1 night, parking was convenient, and only £10 for 24 hours in the multi-storey behind the hotel, just a min walk. Shops, pubs, cafes, and the sea front all right outside your hotel.

United KingdomThe bathroom could’ve done with a little more ventilation as the window in there didn’t open. The staff member who was on the desk late at night was unreasonably rude, condescending and miserable, to the point where it affected the rest of our stay; when we checked out it was the same staff member who checked us in (who couldn’t have been more lovely), and had we not had the experience we did earlier in the night, we would’ve stuck around to chat a bit, we also would’ve had breakfast, but that guy really left us with a bad taste in our mouths.
Check-in and check-out was very easy, the reception staff who greeted us on both of those occasions were incredibly nice and helpful, really warm and welcoming and it was a pleasure to have spoken to them. The room itself was very spacious, great view, clean to a good standard, WiFi was also reliable. Perfect location, right by everything you’d need.
