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 KingdomThe free car park round the back is so full of potholes I seriously worried for my cars tyres and suspension. However there is in road parking if you can get a space.
Absolutely gorgeous guesthouse, Frankie is so welcoming and kind. Room was excellent, everything I needed plus some lovely little extras I wasn't expecting but really enhanced the stay. Wish I'd stayed for longer, but will definitelybe back. Highly Recommended!,

United KingdomCan’t fault anything A wonderful home from home
The Hosts were exceptionally friendly and informative. We were given a balcony view of the sea which was not booked. The room was clean and spacious with gorgeous bath products such as the handwash. Shampoo and conditioner. Breakfast was amazing and satisfying. We were made to feel very welcome and a home from home experience. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend to anyone. Well done Buzz and Jo.

United KingdomIf you're looking for a home away from home...this is the place. You will find beautifully decorated rooms that are comfortable and very clean. Our room had a balcony with a sea view so we had the pleasure of enjoying some bubbly whilst looking out over the the sea and an early morning chilling in bed with the sea breeze flowing in. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Some lovely little extra touches like bottles by the front door so you can help yourself to cold water from the water cooler when you need and a Happy Birthday sign was placed above the bed when I mentioned that it was my birthday :) And what makes all this perfection possible....? Our hosts, Buzz and Jo, were so friendly and welcoming and we felt like they couldn't do enough to make your stay perfect. And to top it all off, they are across the road from a lovely beach (Thorpe Bay) and only about a 20min walk into the town centre and Southend pier. We will definitely be back :)
