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 KingdomIt is a little old and run down now, but is perfectly usable and comfortable. I rather liked it as it's not a chain and has some character.
Everything worked and was comfortable and clean. Breakfast OK - not haute cuisine, but fresh and substantial, served with grace by the young wait staff. Regular 22 bus just along the road for getting in and out of town, although the downhill walk to town also very pleasant - about 10 minutes. Plenty of shops, cafes etc within 10 minutes walk, both downhill and uphill (try the Ilsham cafe uphill -fabulous). Comfy bed, functional shower. Fantastic value for money.

United KingdomEverything worked, bed and room were comfy, 22 bus right outside to and from town (or 10 minute walk down to the harbour). Cheap. Nearby shops, cafes and restaurants all within 10 minute walk. Breakfast was hot and fresh. The rooms and hotel itself are know quite old but perfectly functional. Staff were all competent and friendly.

United KingdomNot much I didn't like. I like the traditional feel of the hotel however it is a little tired in places and could do with some TLC. But that costs money and things are tight but it was very good value for money.
My room was clean and functional and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was lovely and hot. The staff were excellent. Friendly and welcoming. There was a car park at the back which was useful. Breakfast was all waiter service and ideal for me as I was able to order exactly what I wanted. There was a bar and lounge and separate pool table room. There was also an entertainment area where acts would play in the height of the season. I was walking the South West Coast path and found the location and busses worked well for me. It was excellent value for money and I'd stay again.

United KingdomA half an hour breakfast (especially at 8:30 which is quite early for a weekend) is a little silly. I missed breakfast both days despite being down before 9AM.
Very cheap, bed was clean, room was clean, location was ok (up a hill but not too bad)

United KingdomThe free WiFi didn't stretch as far as my room, but my own system compensated for that. Aside from that, I had no complaints.
The hotel is in a quite quiet location, but not close enough to the sea as far as walking to it is concerned. The breakfast was OK, but not exceptional - good for the money paid.

United KingdomThe hotel is quite shabby, but if you can close your eyes to that, it's fine. Breakfast choice was good, but there was no sugar for my cereal - I had to go in search for it and they only had demerara sugar. There were no teaspoons, so I had to eat my boiled egg with a dessert spoon. I would have liked salt and pepper pots on the table - those little sachets are uncontrollable (and surely cost more??). A little bit of jam or marmalade would have been nice to finish off my toast, but it seems that was a menu choice rather than a given, and I'd already selected boiled egg.
Room was fine - clean bedding and generally clean. Staff were cheerful and helpful. Great price.

United KingdomNo issues
We loved our stay, the hotel has made a big effort to go festive and this really cheers people up I think. The room had everything you need, hairdryer, kettle warm bedding, coffee n the room wasn't good but this doesn't bother me. I think the heating came on and off at perfect times this prevented the room from getting too warm. The staff were friendly and helpful and an added bonus was entertainment in the evening which were a bit of fun and banter with people from a coach trip. All good breakfast were fine, waiting staff friendly. the coffee was tasty .
