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 KingdomLovely breakfast with loads of choice, comfy beds, big spacious sunny room, we were so well looked after by Sue. It was very convenient for Boscombe with it's restaurants and shops, the beach is very close, and only 20mins walk to the Vitality Stadium. Plenty of parking. The decor is not ultra modern but with such a good price it doesn't matter.

United KingdomWhat was there not too like it was amazing 😁
Wow what can I say about my stay at the Kingsley, firstly the welcome that we received was the best welcome I have had at any hotel, sue took time to talk to us and tell us about the local amenities also asked us to check our room to make sure we were happy with it before paying which I haven't had before. The room was fantastic so spacious and everything you would need and bed was comfortable I normally have a hard time falling asleep but I fell asleep quickly once into bed. But I wanted to say something separate about sue herself she is the best host of a hotel I've ever stayed in very attentive for her guests would go out of her way in a heartbeat to make sure you were happy with everything, I had missed out on the breakfast for the both days I was here and as I was leaving and having a chat with sue she proceeded too hand me back a £20 note as I didn't have the breakfast and said that she couldn't take the full amount I had paid as I didnt have the breakfast I politely declined to take the money back as I said no I couldn't as it was my fault I missed out on breakfast but she wouldn't take no for an answer. If there was a reason for me to come back too Bournemouth it would definitely be for me to visit sue and the Kingsley, I have never left a review before on any platform but the service I had received was too excellent for me too not leave a review. So once again thank you sue 😊
