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 would have liked to eat at the restaurant, which looked great but was closed during the off-season.
Breakfast was excellent, with a really wide buffet choice. We were in Poole to visit Brownsea Island for my son't birthday, and it was all perfect (except the National Trust ferry was at the other end of the coast - my error).

United KingdomCan't think of anything right now.
A lovely clean quiet hotel with friendly staff, large dining area, very good food especially homemade pate and sea bass. Breakfast unusually is service, a pleasant change. Bedroom and bathroom well furnished including fridge with water, much appreciated, particularly the treat, thank you. A pleasant walk to the shore at Sandbank on or off street.

United KingdomReally minor stuff but, lighting in room does need some improvement (quite dark). Despite a really nice refit the bathroom window didn’t shut properly.
Easy parking and great staff, there was a little hick-up on arrival and the way the staff sorted the very minor problem was second to none. Great room! I can’t recommend staying here more it will be go to Poole hotel from now on. Breakfast was spot on too.

United KingdomThe room we were allocated would have been better with more lighting, there were no ceiling lights.
The meals at the hotel were excellent, generous portions and very tasty. The hotel location was on a bus route with a speedy service to Poole centre and Bournemouth. The staff were excellent, polite, professional and efficient.

United KingdomI would say just the room was a little dark and lacking in a main light, so it was difficult to see the room menus/ coffee machine.. and the standard double room was a little compact..
Loved the location, close to Sandbanks and the pub itself was very nice ! With a fantastic, high quality breakfast 👍 Friendly staff too and really loved the bathroom, shower was fabulous with Elemis Spa products... quiet evening and a very good sleep (Monday night)

United KingdomCarrying suitcase/bags up the narrow stairs to room at the top of the building was difficult. Parking is tight and busy, especially when non staying guests are using the restaurant. Breakfast wasn’t traditional with the usual self serve cereals and toast, it is just fancy smoked salmon etc offered as a single meal.
Very nice hotel, close to beaches and towns. Feature room was lovely with extra facilities for tea and coffee.

United KingdomCar parking was a bit hit and miss. I was able to park initially on check-in and on returning from a shopping trip, but after visiting friends in the evening I had to park about 300m away on returning at 8pm. Spaces became available later in the evening.
Our room was clean with modern decor and the shower/en suite room was also good. The breakfast and service was exceptional.
