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 KingdomIn advance of my stay I had enquired if there was anywhere in the hotel to eat and have a drink with our dog. I was told we would be able to eat in the Lounge and could book a table on arrival. However when we arrived there was actually a wedding in the Lounge and so we were given the option of room service with the fee waived or a suggestion of somewhere to eat that was a 20 minute walk away. We opted to go to the place 20 mins away and it was good. However if I had been advised in advance that the Lounge would be unavailable I would have researched and booked another venue. Parking at the hotel is limited. There are Ev chargers but cars not charging just parked in these bays and there was no regulation of this.
Clean, in a great location and dog friendly

United KingdomNo parking spaces available at check-in time. Had to find parking a few hundred metres away, luckily found 1 space at the seafront. Would have appreciated some help on arrival to lift 2 cases up the entrance steps and through a heavy front door to reception area. Did not see a button for assistance. Breakfast food was only warm, (buffet) so was cold by the time you sat down. Utensils could be labelled or colour coded for meat/vegetarian foods in the hope that customers use them for the right items. Could not find sugar.
Locality close to the seafront. Room/ bathroom was clean, bed comfortable. Nice decor.

United KingdomI couldn't connect to the wi-fi on my laptop at first, but turning on my VPN fixed it. It may be a connection security issue. The wi-fi was a bit shaky in general but nothing significant. The pump of the handwash in the bathroom was not working smoothly and there was a slight drainage issue in the sink, but all very minor details!
Clean room, attentive staff, nice location, decent facilities
