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 KingdomWe had to pay for parking, the room didn't appear to have been cleaned properly previously there were bits on the floor, I went to hang something up in the wardrobe and the rail fell down. There was also only wifi in the lobby, overall given that for just me and my daughter poor value for money.
The beds and location were ok as they were near the beach

United KingdomThe lifts and the smell of old food
The place seems okay at first, passageways are fresh etc the lift is just mad two people with a suitcase can just get in and we are not large. Guess like other hotels in Bournemouth it attracts large numbers of stag parties, very load and hotel staff just unable to deal with it at all. The morning we left the hotel was getting ready to close to the public to be handed over to the home office!!! some guest were a bit annoyed at being moved without request to one of the companies other hotels, Anyway its a great spot where it is, just a shame the as with all Britannia hotels its always understaffed and needs upgrading. but I guess the owner wants to remain named the worst hotel group in the UK. The good news is people wont be able to book with them as it seems so many of their hotels are now run by the home office.

GuernseyDisappointing stay. We didn't sleep well the first visit and had unfortunately booked another stay a week later so we hoped for improvement. There was a problem with booking on the second visit and we ended up sleeping in different rooms. The building is tired and needs updating. The first visit was cheap but the second, over a weekend, was extortionate and definitely not value for money!
Staff were polite and helpful.

Limited coffee in room, bathroom could do with some tender loving care a new bathroom suite would help.slip hazards in corridor until morning, no monitoring of dogs left in room unattended barking.

United KingdomI am very dissapointed with the way how the hotel deals with the price for the night because the price for the night is quite alright while paying through the booking.com but during checking in there are a lot og extra cost so £5 for the car park and £10 for every pet so for people like big family the cost is a lot higher than it says on the website.
