Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomNothing - we had a small problem with the water but this was rectified within the hour.
Wonderful location with beautiful sea views - would be worth paying extra for a sea view room, the bar and restaurant look out to the sea - so calming. Our room was generous size and very clean, with shampoos etc provided. Breakfast had lots of choice hot and cold and was available till 10.30 - so you didnt have to get up too early. Really enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomFirstly not happy how far my room was from Reception!! Disappointed with the view from my windows..looked out onto rooves and buildings.. Breakfast was almost cold when it arrived by Room Service. Poor flow from the shower and it was so difficult to get a decent hot temperature for the water. It kept going hot then cold!! So annoying.
The location and the interior and size of the room.

United KingdomPillows and mattress. The room I booked was deluxe there should be biscuits to go with coffee for the price of that room. The breakfast was disgusting. I was looking forwards to breakfast on the first morning. What a huge disappointment. I will post a detailed review on Google and trip-advisor.
The room is very comfortable however the bed and pillow way too soft for my comfort. Struggle to get comfortable especially with the pillows. Pillows gave me a headache as my head was not securely rested. Kept sinking into the pillows such a shame. Room space Excelkent lovely view of the see. Mini fridge absolutely great room shame about the soft pillows and mattress. Parking nice and easy.

United KingdomI was not informed that a parking space might not be available if the hotel is fully booked. On the final night of my stay, I returned to the hotel exhausted, only to find no available parking spots. I was subsequently informed that if no parking space was available, I could utilize a public parking area. However, this crucial information should have been provided to me during check-in, especially when payment for parking was processed. Consequently, I parked in an improper location and received a £60 parking ticket essentially due to lack of prior notification about the parking space availability.

United KingdomFor the best part of £180 per night I think two milks and two tea bags in the room is really stingy. Breakfast was very average £18 cold and nothing exceptional. Appeared very short staffed and chaotic with people hanging about for food to be topped up. I suspect you have a bit of trouble with the drug users hanging about in the shelter outside the hotel. They created quite a bit of nice over night.
Clean, comfy bed. Lovely sea view room. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Evening meal was excellent.
