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 KingdomGiven that the hotel had a large number of elderly and disabled guests, the unreliability of the single lift, culminating in complete breakdown for at least 36 hours (continuing as we left) was dreadful. We were walking the South West Coast Path so didn't relish having to climb to the fourth floor either!

United KingdomBreakfast was minuscule much prefer a buffet breakfast, coffee was disgusting, After a drive I like to lay on the bed in a somewhat natural state, but this time the maid walked straight in no knocking or anything so she got a free shot! Then she only did it again half an hour later Why do they service rooms at three o clock in the afternoon
Bedroom was very good plenty of room, shower worked well, bed was comfortable, staff were very good on the whole, room was very clean.

United KingdomWe stayed in room 221 it was ok but the wallpaper was peeling off the wall in two places and there was mould in the silicone seal in the shower. Something should be done about the parking we were moving our car around twice a day and paying £15.00 per day. Couldn't the hotel have a deal with the carpark opposite to have cheaper rates.
Lovely and clean, very warm room, staff friendly.

United KingdomThe hotel is very outdated. It was fine for us as we only stayed one night and had a room on the 3rd floor with a wonderful view which made up for the old interior. The breakfast room felt like a journey back in time and had hardly any windows that we didn’t actually stay to try the breakfast.
Stunning view across the bay. The location is perfect in the center of the town just opposite of the sea. The rooms were clean and we slept comfortably. Reception was very friendly.
