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 KingdomSwimming pool area.Sauna and jacuzzi wasn't working,so was alittle disappointed by that as why I booked the hotel. Limited car park spaces but it wasn't a issue as I didn't move my car as much, but would of been an issue if I had of moved my car on the weekend as I knew I would loose my space and have trouble parking. Walls are definitely thin cause you could hear people talking next door.
Staff were friendly and chatty,the beds were comfortable and the rooms were big.The location was good as it was a short distance to bar so.

United KingdomThe sauna was out of order, the showers at the pool are not pleasant. There isn’t sufficient changing facilities by the pool either. There was a lift out of order. The staff were not particularly friendly, didn’t have any big issues just their manner wasn’t great. The swimming pool itself looked clean but the surroundings did not. Gym was out of order. Breakfast was Ok, nothing special and there was no vegetarian alternatives at breakfast (don’t get me wrong there was egg, mushrooms, beans etc so stuff for me to eat but no alternatives for bacon, sausage etc.) I also found it surprising they weren’t playing the Euro games in the bar.
The location is great, really close to Bournemouth Beach, lots of entertainment around, bars, pubs, cinema etc. The bed was comfortable. I liked that there was a swimming pool.

United KingdomReception staff need to pay more attention to awaiting guests and there's no point sending guests to the bar for a drink whilst waiting, when the bar doesn't serve alcoholic beverages.
Room was clean and Tidy.. shower worked which is always a bonus. Breakfast was as much as you liked and enjoyable. Location of the hotel is perfect if you are visiting town for a night out or seeing a concert at the BIC.

United KingdomBathroom was too hot, heating wouldn't turn off. Breakfast was cold, the English breakfast wasn't kept hot. The staff couldn't cope when a coach party arrived. There is a £12 a day fee to park on site. The view from our room was their refuse site, a pile of black bags. When we spoke to them about it, they moved the black bags and replaced them with metal cages.
Convenient for the town and seafront.

United KingdomNo bar licences and both jacuzzi and sauna were shut down for maintenance. The showers were a mess and the changing rooms dirty, broken lockers, hairdryer taped together. Really sad to see a great facility so run down and neglected although I understand time and effort is being made now to get these back up to standard. I had also asked for a lower level room and was on 2nd floor with a broken lift - alternate at other end of hotel was available.
Breakfast was great. Main areas of hotel lovely and staff were super friendly and helpful. Good parking facility but twice the price of nearby car parks.
