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.).

SwedenThe hotel is very well-located in the city centre. Bournemouth train station, however, isn’t, so in the absence of a car, the bus trips to the station took some time. Luckily, a bus station is just around the bend.
It is very rare encountering such kindness and care when staying at a hotel nowadays. The Management’s support to make you feel comfortable, and for you to have a fruitful stay in the city, and its surroundings, was astounding. I was very happy with my double room. It was very clean, had a most comfortable bed (a blessing for my sore back), and a large fridge - things that matters to me. I also enjoyed the lovely city view. Further, there where plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket (Tesco), and bus stops facilitating trips to the Jurassic Coast, and the train station.

The owner was very friendly and gave excellent advice on places to eat and things to do in the area. They always greated me warmly and had a pleasant smile.

United KingdomThe en-suite bathroom was a bit small and we had to squeeze into the shower because the doors didn’t open very wide. The property was a bit further away from the beach / town than we expected, walking to them was ok as it was downhill but walking back up was sometimes challenging, depending on how much we had eaten ! The outside of the property didn’t look like the pictures on Booking.com and would probably benefit from a lick of paint ? The property was graded as 4* on Booking.com but it didn’t match with our expectations with what 4* accommodation should be. On that basis we felt the cost of staying here was too much compared with similar properties in the area
The hosts were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made us feel very welcome. We booked the stay for my wife’s birthday and when Mary knew this she upgraded our room. They also helped us out with parking. The property wasn’t too far from the beach and Bournemouth shopping centre. The room was clean although there were a couple of light stains on the carpet but with it being a dark colour it was hardly noticeable. Having a fridge in the room was a plus and Mary provided fresh milk so we were able to make a nice morning tea / coffee. The TV in the room was larger than normal. The bed was spacious and comfortable. Overall the room was clean and comfortable with nice furnishings

United KingdomI booked it because I have special needs around eating and there was a kitchenette included. There was no utensils. Except for a plate, a bowl, a set spoon, an eating knife and fork the owner gave me after I asked. There was a stove but nothing to prepare any meals i e pans. There was a microwave. I saw no point in the stove. On the day of my departure I I felt that I was being ‘groomed’ into giving a good review in return for a discount off a future stay. According to the owner they look after the good guests not the bad guests that complain!
It was close to the main shopping area, buses, beach and some of the attractions.

United KingdomWe were happy with our stay.
As others have said before, this place has a quirky charm. The owners John and Mary are really lovely, and couldn’t do enough to help us and we had many nice chats with them. We stayed in a family room and it is a great location being just over a 5 minute walk to the beach, and just a bit further to the pier and town. We really enjoyed our stay here and as we left our son asked John if we could stay there again.
