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 KingdomBed very uncomfortable. Late check in (long queues) very early checkout with no room for negotiation. I asked for 30 minutes later to be told no. My room was in the very lower level (3005) and the lift was broken. It took me 30 minutes to find my room as it was not well sign posted at all. As I was on my own for this trip, it was unsettling for it taking half an hour to get to and from my room.

United KingdomWe didn't enjoy the noisy arguing banging doors and slamming ppl staying in the room near us! We noticed that quite a few left their manners and respect at home! Couldn't believe the way grown adults were attempting to use the hotel as their playground the staff deserve a medal for their tolerance levels and smiling through. They were quick to act regarding our noise problem and spoke to the ppl involved and upgraded our room for our last night with no extra charge as an apology for our interrupted sleep and again everything was clean
The location is great and staff were really pleasant and helpful really don't understand other reviews that pull this place down so much! It's a beach front property so nesting birds and dirty windows are to be expected really at a place so big we made a lovely feathered friend that sat on our window ledge the bath worked just fine everything was clean white towels, white bedding clean empty bins, clean kettle clean cups I guess some ppl are just way too picky

United KingdomThings that let it down were :- * The food was very basic . Cereals were not brand make and tasted awful. My son complained the hash browns and bacon were too greasy to eat. The coffee was awful and no sign of any fresh fruit. There were no trays to help carry things , which was quiet annoying having to walk back and forth to get different parts of your meal. The windows in the entire hotel were filthy and seagulls were nesting in nearly every window ledge and the noise was awful. After running a bath , it was luke warm. Only to then realise you needed to press and button on the tap to make it hotter. Not many plug sockets for multiple use. The beds weren't very comfortable.
The rooms were not bad , no main lighting , but did have over bed lamps and a lamp on the side draws. A few sets of draws and a wardrobe for space. Also a mini fridge, hair dryer , iron , ironing board , TV, kettle / cups and sachets off tea, coffee and sugar. There was also a fan stored in the wardrobe if needed. There was two toilet rolls provided, along with small soaps and sanitary bags. Towels also provided.

The staff were friendly enough and helpful. The room was fine for one night and the bed was comfy.

United Kingdomwe were not told that the rooms are only cleaned every 4 days, when we asked for clean cups none were provided, we paid extra to stay in our room on our last day but was not told that the fire alarms would be tested, and I find it hard to beleive that there is nowhere you can leave your bags and luggage safely before you need to go to the station.
when we upgraded the room what we got was good, the location was very good.

United KingdomThe room was dated, furniture and decor needs upgrading, generally a little tlc but what we expected to be fair.
The Grand has an amazing history and first impressions on entering are impressive. The room was clean, and the hotel accepts dogs. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Fantastic views from balcony and ballroom. Location excellent for the town centre and sea front.

United KingdomOur room was a newly reburbished one and fine. It had everything we needed and was reasonable clean but my grandsons room was shabby with peeling paper and in need of an overhaul. Nice sea view except window were so dirty outside.
The property was in a good location has potential to be a lovely place. It’s clearly been a very nice hotel but is just sad and tired now.. and a little dirty. We stayed in one of the newly done rooms which was fine . We liked the pool table etc and though we didn’t use it, looked in the ballroom which was nice. The had a cabaret act on which although wasn’t too great they had tried to entertain . Staff at reception were pleasant .
