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 KingdomGlenn and Sarah are excellent hosts and they looked after us very well, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious. The room was very well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. Hoping to stay here again during the August bank holiday weekend. I would recommend Ocean Drive to anyone. It's worth it just for the homemade Welsh cakes! 😋 🤣

United KingdomCould not fault Ocean Drive.
We don't normally leave a review but on this occasion we feel the need. Ocean Drive is absolutely brilliant. We have recently spent 4 nights there. We were met with a warm welcome upon our arrival which continued throughout our stay. Our room was spotless so too was the dining room. The breakfasts were delicious with plenty of choice. Thank you to Glenn and Sarah the owners of Ocean Drive. We will definitely be returning as Ocean Drive is outstanding.

United KingdomThe only thing that was unfortunate for me was that we were on the top floor - there were 55 steps that we counted numerous times going up and down
Room/en-suite were great and the breakfast was super. Glen, our host, was friendly and helpful and had some ‘joke’ fun with my grandson.

We were greeted with a warm welcome, Glen and Sarah were so helpful and friendly, accommodating our breakfast needs as working at odd tidal times! We were touched by their kindness and hospitality. The rooms are nicely decorated and a great selection of teas and coffee and fresh milk is provided. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We will definitely endeavour to stay here again.

United KingdomFridge wasn't very cold and the stuff we put in there went off especially on the hotter days and even on the cooler days items wouldn't have condensation due to the temperature of the fridge.
Breakfast was exceptional every morning, lovely views, great sized rooms and on suites. Staff were lovely and accommodating and made us feel so welcome. Great location on the sea front and seating area outside was lovely for watching the sunset.

United KingdomTop floor stay- we’ve learned we need to get fit with all those stairs. You do get used to them! :)
Our stay here has been amazing. Glenn and Sarah are both lovely hosts. Sarah cooks a tasty breakfast and Glenn does a cracking job of front of house. The running of the accommodation is unique (extra points for the box organisation each morning- breakfast menu/replenishment of amenities/fresh towels etc) Nothing is too much and they have brilliant knowledge of the area and surrounding towns. Very helpful and chatty. We will definitely be booking to stay again.
